Let's take a peek behind the curtain: what are these families squabbling about right now? No two families are alike, and none of them are perfect, either. Whether your family is just two people and a pet, or two parents and 2.5 kids, or a giant mixed family with stepparents, there's plenty of love to go around. Each family has to figure out how to navigate their lives together: for example, some families have dinner together each night, and they work out any issues while eating a casserole. But…

Be careful what you say while you're in court … It may seem like common sense, but many people can't help but mouth off to the judge during their legal case. No one wants to be in court, obviously, but that is not the time or place to start an argument with the judge or your lawyer. As the lawyers of the internet explained, their clients often choose the exact wrong time to blurt out new information. As they take the stand, some people will just admit to their actions, leading them to longer se…

What's the worst present you've ever received (or given)? Some people just are not good at gifting things to others. We all have that one aunt who gives everyone ill-fitting clothes, or hands out toys that the kiddos are way too old to play with. Although, as you can read in the answers of this hilarious r/AskReddit thread below, a lot of people have given bad gifts on purpose! For a few folks, getting subpar presents from the same person year after year started to grate on them. One person sha…

Hiring managers don't always say exactly what they mean, but if you can read between the lines, you might save yourself the headache of working somewhere awful. After that, read about an ultra-petty apartment tenant who's getting back at their irritating landlady, sharing that “ I'm making my landlady wait 29 minutes .”

Think back: can you remember what you wrote your college application essays about? For many kids, the subject matter requested is a story about something meaningful that happened in your life that changed you as a person. However, as the college admission readers of the world will tell you, these essays get repetitive. It's the same old stories about meaningful times in life, stories about family issues, or tales of friendship struggles. As one reader noted, she refused to read any more essays…

"This was the last time she was parking in my driveway, period."

If you can't be the best at what you do, you should at least be interesting enough to catch the hiring manager's attention ! The people replying to this person's question certainly did that. U/ThanosIsMyRealFather was curious about the things that hiring managers saw on resumes, and wanted to know what things made them want to immediately hire someone, or instantly throw that resume in the garbage. Trying to hire the right person really can feel like you're searching for a needle in a haystack.…

The pen is in your hand (or more realistically, your fingers are on the home keys) and you're trying to find the inspiration to write the perfect admissions essay. Suddenly, you forget everything you've learned in the last 12 years of school … what could you possibly write to a college admissions office to get them to let you into their esteemed school? College applications can be a big stressor for high school seniors. They have to su…

Oh great, your least favorite coworker is in the office today. I bet just by reading that sentence, a person popped into your head. Maybe it's the dude who insists on taking personal phone calls all day long, repeating himself over and over. Or maybe your least favorite coworker is the woman who takes off her socks and shoes to rub her sore feet, leaving everyone else in the office mortified. Maybe you even have one of those dreaded coworkers who does literally nothing all day long, yet still c…

Money solves most problems in life, but it seems like there's just never enough of it. Even the richest people in the world just want more and more cash. You can never have too much! However, when you've been wealthy for a long time, you start to forget what it's like to be a “normal person." Most people can't just throw money at their problems.

Despite their careful planning, some wedding ceremonies are bound to have an incident or two. Often times the “incident” becomes legend: maybe Grandma does a hilarious dance after having a few too many, or your favorite uncle gives a speech that leaves everyone else speechless. These moments can be lovely. But other people had incidents that were way worse, and they're sharing their stories of exactly how it all went down. Sometimes the weather does get in the way. Rain on your wedding day is s…

It's rare, but it does happen: sometimes an entire workplace quits at once. When this does happen, it's often a glorious exodus, leaving workers happy with their fresh jobs and higher salaries, while managers scramble to find new hires. It's true what they say: people will run from bad bosses as fast as they can. Having a low salary is irritating, but if you love your job, it isn't always so bad. And if you love the people you work with, those 8-hour days may fly by, making your workweek a bree…

Sometimes you really don't want to see how the sausage is made. You just want that final product , and you want to enjoy it without knowing all of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans that it takes to create said product. This is certainly the case at many restaurants , just as one example. You just want to sit down in the seating area and have a nice meal. You don't want to think about how long it's been since they cleaned the grease trap, or how there are probably at least 10 cockroaches or mice…

Having fun with money is the easy part, but saving it and spending it wisely can take a lifetime to learn. No matter how much money you make , it may never quite seem like enough. There are so many bills to pay! Gas, electric, water, car payment, mortgage, rent, groceries… the list goes on and on. That's why it's nice to have a little treat every now and then, to take away the sting of giving away your hard-earned paycheck to strangers. Maybe you get a $7 latte or a $60 new outfit. However, som…

If your boss is making you grind your teeth, you're in good company. The people of the internet joined together to share the reasons why their boss has been getting on their last nerves , and there are some crazy stories out there! Some people have bosses who just don't appreciate a single thing they do .
