Weddings are an interesting social phenomenon. For starters, the bride and groom's first task is to literally rank their family and closest friends by order of importance to them in order to form their bridal parties, almost like we're back on MySpace with our Top Friends ranked and audaciously on display… From there, everyone else gets a rank, too, with what table they're seated at the reception, letting everyone know loud and clear “where they sit" on your social ladder. If you're seated at a…

While planning your potluck dinner , be sure to invite the right friend group! Maybe invite the friends whose homes you've eaten in before, or those who claim to be great cooks already. If you invite the wrong people—the kind who ignore safety protocols or just have zero idea what they're doing in the kitchen—you may wind up giving your whole party food poisoning. You should still invite your friends who can't cook , but just tell them to bring a dessert. That's pretty hard to mess up! Unless y…

I bet there's a phrase that instantly cracks you up. It's probably just a few words—a reference to a place or a person—that instantly reminds you of a funny situation in your life. When you hear that magic phrase, you'll get the giggles uncontrollably, and if your friends are nearby, good luck trying to stop laughing for the next few hours. Getting the giggles is one of the best feelings in life… unless you happen to be at a funeral, or a play, or a serious wedding speech. You know, one of thos…

Bold is the coworker who calls out, then posts their beach day to their Instagram story. Why people do this baffles the mind. Why would you call out of work sick and then go out on the town, leaving a digital footprint behind you? Or worse still, the person goes out to their own workplace, as if their boss will welcome them with a big smile instead of a writeup . The bosses of Reddit decided to reveal the craziest things that their worst employees ever did in response to u/RoryC's question. The…

Working retail gives you a fantastic seat center stage to bear witness to some of the most incredible performances, teeth-gritting rage complete with bulging temples and flying saliva—unfortunately, this show requires audience participation, and the rage is almost always directed at you… Never mind the fact that you're just a lowly cashier, literally the lowest ranking member in the organization… you're going to be the one to suffer the full wrath of their immature and impotent frenzy. The biza…

Some phrases from the business sector become ingrained in our minds forever. You are familiar with those vague proverbs that essentially advise you to get over yourself, but they do so in a polished and professional way.

It feels like the more specialized someone is at one thing, the worse they are at others, and the more educated and specialized they are, the more surprising the things they can't do will be.It's almost as if living your life with a singular drive and focus leaves you as a not-very-well-rounded individual, probably one of the reasons celebrities are being consistently picked apart in the landscape of the modern social media levels of exposure they're placed under. We're quickly reaching a point…

Home is where the heart is, and it's also where all of your strangest belongings remain. No one knows this better than folks who have jobs that require them to randomly step foot inside people's homes , often with very little warning. Say, for example, a plumber. Maybe your shower isn't draining or your toilet just won't work. You have to call the plumber, and there's usually a set timeframe during which they'll show up to solve your issues. But for some reason, people won't clean up their home…

The HOA patrols are back out in force, ready to protect your neighborhood from things like trucks parked in driveways, or trash cans left outside on trash day. These heroic homeowners associations are always ready to save the day by… doling out large fines designed to stress families out. They're doing things like helping the victims of house fires.

Day after day with an overbearing boss, or maybe you have the world's worst coworkers who won't stop bothering you at your cubicle. Some bosses refuse to respect your time off, meaning you're constantly checking your phone and emails even when you're off the clock. You start to daydream about quitting .

The employees at these Renaissance Fairs love their jobs, and they have a few eyebrow-raising stories to share. Out of all the jobs in the world, working at a Ren Fair seems like one that could be endless fun. Sure, the costumes get hot in the summer heat, and sometimes people act up, but it seems like most of these actors really enjoy their work. They show up every day in historically accurate costumes and interact with guests. When done right, it's an immersive LARP experience that's fun for…

Cashiers are really tired of hearing the same quips over and over from their customers. They're so bored by them that they don't even react anymore. For example, a cashier will be ringing up a customer's clothes, and one of the shirts doesn't scan. They have to walk out into the store to find that item and get the right price. All the while, the customer is joking around , saying that if the shirt doesn't have a price tag on it, it must be free! Hahahaha! Isn't that just so funny and original?…

For single folks, “meal” is such a strong word. Making a “meal” requires time, effort, and possibly a stovetop. When you have a partner, you tend to want to make them beautiful meals with garnishes, or hearty meals that take hours to make (since it's a labor of love). When you're a single dude , though, all bets are off. Any food is a meal if you believe in yourself. Lately, when I don't feel like cooking for my single self, I make “charcuterie dinner.” It includes strawberries, pineapple, a ti…
