First impressions mean nothing to this dude. In a post from r/TIFU, a woman shared what happened when she tried to take her husband to a dinner with her boss, resulting in one of the cringiest outcomes imaginable. “I had just gotten a brand new job that I was really excited about,” writes the OP. She was trying to get on her boss's good side by getting to know her better. It's not always easy to get to know your boss in a business setting when they need to be serious and focused. Instead, shari…

This kitchen has too many chefs . The secret to great cooking is following a recipe. Unless you're a super skilled chef with years of experience eyeballing your measurements and tweaking your recipes, you're gonna need a proper recipe. Everyone has different skill levels in the kitchen too, so it doesn't hurt to have a list of ingredients and steps to follow. This person is trying to follow their own recipes for dinners for their family. They keep making food for their kids, husband, and the SI…

Sometimes, no one can provide comfort for you like a fast food order.

This server isn't holding back — they're spilling some piping hot tea about a local celebrity who's acting like a jerk at their restaurant. This VIP is drunk on power, as the OP, u/Capnmcquacken, shared to r/TalesFromYourServer. As the fed-up server writes, the restaurant they work at is a super popular taco spot in Michigan. They have tons of customers, and they also sponsor a race car driver, who the OP calls Randy. He's allowed to eat for free at this restaurant whenever he pleases, and he's…

This guy is unbelievable — he doesn't even know his neighbor's name , yet he wants her to cook for him? On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, there are dozens of posts each day where people try to ascertain if they're a jerk or not. While there's usually some nuance to these scenarios, this guy is just a massive jerk, and he ended up getting told as much by a bajillion commenters. As u/AwayPerformer wrote, he's a single 31 year old living in an apartment complex, and he recently got a new neighbor…

You've got to be cautious about trusting random people online.

Wealth makes people move differently, as this woman found out in an unfortunate rift with her husband's side of the family. Everyone wants money , and they can never get enough. You always need more and more cash, especially as the cost of living goes up. But you can't just demand it from people, even if they are significantly more wealthy than you are. This woman's in-laws did just that — they not only demanded their DIL's money, but randomly expected her to pay for an entire meal for their fa…

When you’re a kid, you tend to think you can be anything you want to be, even a dog.

Only the most adventurous of food connoisseurs could love these outlandish dishes . Everyone has that one friend that will eat anything. They gain a reputation as a garbage disposal because they'll eat everyone's leftovers . They're the friend who doesn't think to look at expiration dates before chowing down on the food in your fridge. Maybe they even make strange food combos that you'd never dream of eating. These foods below are probably too weird even for that friend! Check out the wild dish…

This big spender was so sure he pulled a fast one on his dinner date , until his waitress foiled his plan. What's the biggest tip you've ever given? For most of us, it might be a $20 bill on a day you're feeling extra generous and flush with cash. It always helps out servers to tip, since their base pay is not usually very high. And of course, since servers rely so heavily on tips, big tippers make their entire day! This waitress rode an emotional roller coaster as she served this couple their…

Our guess is this was about much more than delicious pasta.

Don't do what this self-obsessed woman did at her sister's engagement party! This sister was way too patient with her entitled influencer sister . As this OP explains, she and her fiance planned a fun party for their upcoming wedding, with the engagement dinner being held at a fancy restaurant. The OP really wanted this to be her special day. So she warned her influencer sister ahead of time to not take a million pictures and interrupt the evening with intrusive photo-taking and posting. As OP…

While hosting a dinner for friends, this woman accidentally confused everyone in attendance with her strange payment policy . The OP of this story, r/Pinkishrabbit, was so befuddled that they wrote to r/etiquette to figure out what was actually going on. As the OP tells it, they went for a dinner at a pal's house along with two other mutual friends. They had a nice time, until the next day, when the two friends began texting the OP that the host had asked them for money . Sure enough, the host…

This dude ducked out of a dinner party early, making his friends absolutely furious. Some people will always take advantage of your generosity! In this post to r/AmItheA******, u/OldAbbreviations6423 had a pressing question regarding his current friend group. The OP is in the awkward position of being one of the higher earners in their friend group, so they've kindly covered tips in the past while the group was out dining. But the OP noticed an interesting pattern of their friends over ordering…

Cooking is such a personal thing, especially when you're cooking nice warm meals for the family you love. You have to take the time to look up a recipe, write down all those ingredients, shop, chop it all up, and stand at the stove stirring everything together. The best part is when the meal turns out beautifully and you get to serve it to your hungry spouse , relatives, or kids. Of course, there are many differences between families and between how they share their meals together. Some people…

On r/Cooking, one OP asked, “What's your stupidest cooking opinion so we can all fight about it?” Sure enough, people had plenty of spicy opinions on every food from green onions to grilled cheese.
