Cars have been around for over a hundred years. You'd think we would have figured out parking etiquette by now, but evidently we have not. Seriously, there's stories of people leaving fake notes to get back at selfish parkers, and other stories of people wasting someone's time for parking illegally. It seems like when it comes to parking, half of us think there's a code while for the rest it's just the law of the jungle.
This guy thought he'd play an innocent little prank on his girlfriend by pretending to be his twin brother, and ended up stumbling upon a heartbreaking realization.

These wholesome pure feels pull on the heart strings. This guy's story starts in on when he lost his parents as a 10-year-old, to a nasty drunk driver. From there, he was taken in by his uncle, and grew up battling a terrible sadness.

This is one of those stories that you read nervously, with hope that nothing goes south, and amazingly...nothing does!
This woman's sister decided she'd spoil an awesome surprise proposal coming her way, by sharing the spoilers on Snapchat. What a time to be alive.

We're not crying, YOU'RE crying. This guy's grandmother fell in love with Dungeons & Dragons while she was battling cancer.

We've got a good old-fashioned tale of revenge meets neighbor wars here, folks. It sounds like the savagely named, "Megab*tch" neighbor was crossing all kinds of literal lines, when she went ahead and hammered long and dangerous nails into the family's fence.

Is offending someone's grandma worse than eating soup the noxious soup she made out of rotten chicken, soy sauce and boiled eggs? For some people it was. It's actually amazing what kind of food atrocities some people will put themselves through to save face. It's harrowing, in a gross sort of way.

When faced with a tough decision, it's helpful to get another opinion.
