This person is ready to dance the night away with their rival! Things got a bit petty at this folk festival, as u/TheBestOpossum explained in their story of petty revenge . This person was at a German folk festival with their BF when the incident occurred. Although the couple was at a festival, not a dance competition, there was another dude who kept trying to make their dancing into a big deal. He seems to have a loud mouth that he wouldn't stop running. He just kept insulting this person's bo…

It's hard to imagine intervening in your spouse's workplace drama, even to vouch for them, but especially to side against them. There are certain lines that should not be crossed when it comes to your professional and personal lives. Muddying the waters between the two is never a good idea. This is doubly—no, triply true when it comes to your spouse's workplace, outside of being an agreeable plus one at workplace holiday parties and functions, you should never have anything to do with their wor…

This woman was apparently blindsided when she prepared dinner for herself and her boyfriend, only for him to smirk when he tasted the meal and tell her that he had been “taking notes” and prepared something for her, too.

It remains a fact that if you actually cared for the person you were dating and held in your hand the chance to do something that would make them immeasurably happy—and you'd be a certain kind of evil for not doing it at the chance to pursue an unethical profit, especially when the way you're choosing to make that profit is derided by the masses. Ticket scalping is just one of those things that offer no value, allowing the entitled and uncaring a way to turn a profit and personal gain off a ter…

Breaking up is hard to do… Just ask these people who were dumped in some awkward and cringeworthy ways, and lived to tell the tale. Not every relationship is meant to last forever. Some romances reach their peak within a few months, and then it's time to find someone else to date who's more suited to you. But you've already invested so much time and energy into this person that you don't want to hurt their feelings. You might think it's too hurtful to tell them you don't think you're a match an…

Most of us probably have that item of clothing that we wear whenever we can. When we're wearing it, we feel good, we look good, and most importantly, we are comfortable. As we get older, comfort takes priority, and looking smart is just an added bonus. Of course, if your favorite item of clothing is your Crocs, you're not ever going to look smart, but more power to you because at least you'll look out of place in a nice restaurant in unparalleled comfort. Whether it was picking apples or fancy…

These days, it feels like there are more red flags than green ones when you're on a first date. Perhaps you have a mental checklist in your mind. Are they human? Are they single? Do they have a 401k? Each singleton has their own personalized criteria. However, one thing that feels pretty universally unacceptable in this day and age is a non-stop texter. After all, you have both presumably gone through the trouble of incessant swiping on dating apps, putting up with surface-level initial message…

These people are having some second thoughts about the people they're dating, and they're sharing the exact moments they realized they got the ick. What does it take for you to get “the ick” from someone while you're dating? It's often just a little thing, but a relationship is comprised of a million little pieces, so even a few things that seem off can be enough to make you cancel that second date. For example, some people highlighted an interesting tidbit: they've had dates who just didn't li…

Let's be real; everything is a subscription these days, whether or not they should be or even really can be. Before long, we'll need to keep up with the weekly subscription on our toaster for the privilege of cooking two pieces of toast at once. While that might sound outrageous, keep in mind printers have already normalized that type of thing for years—even new cars have started coming with basic features locked behind subscription-based grifting models. While this is bad, it's even worse when…

"This is why I support laws saying that canceling a subscription must be as easy as signing up for one."

One person dumped someone for texting with too many emojis, while someone else ended things because their date wasn't using enough emojis! In the dating world, it's impossible to know what people's expectations will be---just ask the people who commented on this interesting r/AskReddit thread. One person asked for the “most petty reason you had for breaking up with someone,” and over a thousand people responded with their hilarious moments of heartbreak. Up next, these job candidates shared wha…

We all get a little weird and crazy about our pets; that's part of what you sign up for when you devote a significant portion of your time, energy, and financial resources to a fluffy little ball of chaos living with you in your home. I'd argue that, in fact, the entire concept is a little bit crazy, and if you weren't already when you decided to get a furry friend, I promise you that you will soon be driven so. Still, no matter how much we consider our pets members of our families, even the mo…

As a waiter or waitress, you're going to spot a few awkward dates during your career. Just think about how many times you've been out to eat and you end up overhearing a couple bickering . Sometimes it's an older couple who seem tired of each other's company. Other times, it's a couple on a first date that's going badly. If you as a diner are able to listen in to their conversation, just imagine how much info their waiter can get from eavesdropping! The waiters and waitresses of the world gathe…

Everyone has had an unfortunate first date experience where you realize midway through the date that this is not going to work. This discovery is unique to each person's personal list of red flags. That being said, what people do not discuss enough in these scenarios is what do you do for the rest of the evening after you've discovered that under no circumstances will there be another date. Do you try your best to end things then and there? Do you smile your way through the rest of the evening…

First dates can be rough. You're probably using a dating app to meet up with that person based off a few photos and a couple of sentences about themselves. You're meeting someone who's basically a stranger to you. No matter how many people you share your location with, or how many friends you have on board to call you if it goes wrong, it can still be super intimidating to go on first dates . On a lot of dating apps, last names aren't available for everyone to see. But that would never stop som…

There are some folks in the dating scene who, despite having been around the block for quite some time, still do not understand what to say and what not to say when you're first meeting a potential romantic partner. You would think that dwelling on a previous relationship or revealing an extended laundry list of red flags would be topics to avoid on a first date, but you'd be surprised what some people blurt out when they're not thinking clearly. Perhaps it's a form of self-sabotage or perhaps…
