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…

'Fake airpods delivered': 15+ Online shopping mishaps

'[We're] ignoring our daughter's inconvenient boundary': College kid returning to parent's house forbids family from ever touching her clothes

'[We're] ignoring our daughter's inconvenient boundary': College kid returning to parent's house forbids family from ever touching her clothes

Laundry is one of those never-ending chores. It never ceases! If you have young kids, you basically have to do laundry every day. And even if you're just a single person with no kids, you'll find yourself doing more laundry in the summer due to getting sweaty when you go outside. At least if you live with family members , you can divide and conquer. One person can load up the washer, while another puts the wet clothes in the dryer and then folds them. But for this college kid, having her parent…

'A really nice car with tires that have no tread': 20 Foolproof ways to spot people who are faking being rich

Some people just love flexing how much money they have . They can't help it. They've made good money, and they want everyone to know about it. Oftentimes, people like this will pick a particular name brand, and then buy a bunch of bags and shoes and clothing all with that branding on it.

Entitled office worker insists that coworker conform to her dress code: '[My manager] told me to drop it'

This nosy worker seriously asked for advice about another employee's attire . Why would that be any of her business? Good question! Many office places have become way less strict about their dress code in recent decades. Instead of donning a white shirt and a tie, or a dress and tights, lots of folks just show up in jeans and a tee shirt every day. If you're not customer-facing in your role, what's the harm in that? The employees get to be comfortable during their eight-hour workday. And let's…

'Lesson learned': Couple ruin hundreds of dollars worth of clothing with hostel request gone wrong

This couple managed to ruin a bunch of their clothing while traveling. There's some good travel advice about how to ensure you'll always have a clean outfit with you. If you're flying, you should pack your clothes in your checked luggage, but make sure to leave at least one pair of clothing in your carry-on luggage, too. That way if your luggage gets lost or you're not able to get that suitcase right away, you'll still have a fresh set of clothes for the next day. This couple had a similar issu…

'Peanut vendor wearing suit made of peanuts': 30 Fashion-forward flops

It's about to get stylish in here. Ready for the latest looks right off the runway? Well, we have none of that. But we do have some truly excellent fashion pieces that are certainly unique. In the world of highly specific subreddits, one of my favorites is r/ATBGE. It highlights clothing, jewelry, or other artwork that is made with “awful taste, but great execution.” (And because it's Reddit, yes, there is also the exact opposite, called “good taste but awful execution.") It's a helpful way to…

'When our boss arrived, he straight panicked': Employees play dress-up while head bosses visit their workplace

These employees were thrilled to dress up for work for one day. Too bad their boss didn't agree with their outfit choices. Workplaces all have different codes for how employees should dress. Many decades ago, people wore suits and ties or nice dresses to their jobs. Everyone dressed like that every day for work, with few exceptions. These days, though, a lot of offices have relaxed their dress codes. With the exception of places like lawyers' offices or doctor's offices, many employees are tota…

'This is all I get': Person donates 6 bags of clothing and food to young family, then woman demands more

You give someone your little finger, and they'll eventually take the whole hand. I learned the hard way that many people online are fishing for constant donations, and it usually isn't the ones who actually need it. I didn't really lose anything in the process, but I do wish I would have given certain things to people who would actually make use of them. One good-willed person's kindness went south after scouring ‘Free stuff’ groups online and offering 6 bags of clothing and food to a young fam…
