It's always best not to let money come between friends, and it's even better not to let money come between distant acquaintances because, in those situations, you don't even have that tight of bond to keep things even-keeled when the going gets tough. Making matters worse is the fact that you're not complete strangers who can handle business without letting it get personal. You're better off not knowing them at all so that all parties can remain objective because you're never going to look at f…

Who else thinks the pink apartment is way worse? Clearly, these “besties” are not exactly the friendliest to one another because these pranks are far from innocent. This Redditor detests the color pink, so when she was away for the weekend, her BFF sought an opportunity and painted her room pink, along with replacing furniture and decor with pink-colored items. This isn't exactly the kind of prank that can be easily reversed. As a New Yorker, my immediate first thought was how is she going to g…

Ah, the never-ending tale of roommate drama. Is there anyone on this Earth who has zero roommate drama in their lifetimes? Whether you live with siblings, a best friend, or a romantic partner, you probably have a story or two about when typical roommate annoyances intensified the drama in your relationship. Hopefully, it's nothing as crazy as what this man had to endure.

"This is the kind of kindergarten etiquette I do not expect from a man in his 30's"

Have you ever met someone who’s so misinformed about things that you start doubting them yourself? It’s a strange feeling to have someone happily inform you that solar panels are going to be too powerful sometime in the near future… because they’ll soak up too much sun? Yes, that’s a real thing that u/ChanceFray was told by their oddball roommate. They aren’t the only person who’s had some funny encounters with people who just weren’t very bright. When u/noelioli asked, “Who’s the stupidest per…

Have you ever had that one friend who you insist on inviting to your place every time you hang out? Sometimes it's for practical reasons, like if you have a bigger kitchen to cook a meal in, or if they have cranky family members who want to be left alone. But then there are people like the ones below. These folks have some really messy or messed-up home lives, and it's making people really not want to visit . This person was curious about people's experiences visiting someone's home and decidin…

Revenge is a dish best served at full price.

Saving up the necessary funds for a foreign trip takes years. Thus, you anticipate that the day will be perfect when it finally arrives after many hours of nonstop work and meticulous preparation! The story below is an account of a frustrated friend. The original poster (OP) is traveling the world with one of her best friends. OP has traveled extensively in the past, so she made a point of doing the required research ahead of the trip. Her friend, on the other hand, was totally dependent on OP…

Living with your best friends can go one of two ways – Either extremely great or terribly wrong, and you can assume that most people will tell you that it usually goes the latter way. There is something about sharing a space that is just so specific for everyone involved, that even if you love each other and enjoy each other's company, it does not mean that you will enjoy living together. The main problem is that you will not know until you try, and that is why most people would recommend simpl…

One woman decided that partying was far more important than supporting her sober friend, claiming the ‘wedding was boring’ and then rallying a troupe of other party animals to ditch the wedding early to go out to the bars.

Any time responsibility and accountability is spread to thinly without the individuals themselves having the possibility of facing consequence for their actions people stop feeling the need to or trying to do the right thing as they normally would. See bystander effect and ** insert metaphor for society here**. You see this play out in group projects and the same is true for trying to get to big of a group together to do something. Trying to organize a trip for 12 “friends” to all stay in a vac…

When someone lives away from their parents, the possibility of seeing them split into two options - Either they travel to see their parents or their parents travel to see them. Traveling to your parents is usually not a problem. You can stay in your childhood bedroom and feel comfortable in the space in which you grew up. But when your parents come to visit you, it can get quite… tricky, to say the least. The biggest problem of all, is the sleeping situation – Where will your parents stay? Will…

Some people are blissfully unaware of the world they live in. If they've lived a sheltered life, they may not know about the ordinary things that lots of people deal with on a daily basis. If you've ever had a friend who makes more money than you, maybe you already know this feeling. Naturally, no friend group is all going to be making the same exact salary. Some people in the friend group are probably just paying rent and living paycheck to paycheck in a lifestyle with no frills. Meanwhile, th…

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…

“You must fit into my childhood expectations"

“I thought [it] would be a total non-issue,” this party guest admitted, but they know now that they accidentally committed a party foul.
