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.

This woman wonders if her magic-loving husband is about to do a disappearing act with all of their money. One woman took to Reddit to ask for advice on a really bizarre situation brewing between her, her husband, and his friend Chris. It's a doozy. She's been with her husband for 8 years, and they have two young kids together, supported only by his income. But now her husband is insisting on following his dreams, probably thanks to a new friend. Now, let's break this down a little, because by t…

I know most of us aren't good spellers—thank goodness for autocorrect! Without it, we'd never spell words like “necesity” or “appreciation” correctly.

It's always baffling when a house guest decides they can boss their host around. It takes a specific kind of entitled Karen-level audacity to suddenly act like you make the rules in a space that is clearly not yours. Well, this lady would come to regret trying to assert her authority in her friend's space. She started to criticize practically every choice her friend's partner made when it came time to serve their spaghetti dinner, a meal she did not make by the way. She insisted on using a “pro…

There are so many people you need to hire for your wedding, and choosing the right photographer is key. Of course the catering is important, and picking a DJ to spin your favorite tunes, plus making sure the officiant is ready to officiate your wedding. But people spend thousands to snag the photographer who they think will capture their big day with the most beautiful framing. After that big day is done, all that's left is that slice of wedding cake in the freezer, the dress and suit in the cl…

Meeting someone from another tax bracket can be a real eye-opener. If you've ever had a work lunch with some higher-ups, or went on a trip with a wealthy friend and their family, you might know the feeling. The things you think are expensive are just regular things to them. The things you can't afford are things that they purchase without batting an eye. Have you ever gone shopping with someone who casually drops tens of thousands of dollars on clothing and golf clubs? It's eye-opening, to say…

Getting hit on is a part of daily life for many people. But obviously, you aren't going to want to date most of the strangers who are hitting on you in public: they're notoriously impolite about this. You quickly gain a sixth sense about these things. That man who's screaming from his balcony about how he'll treat you right… is not going to be the Prince Charming he believes himself to be. The dude who wolf-whistles at you as you're sweaty and lugging your heavy groceries inside is not really h…

People who badmouth their friends over text better be careful with their phones! Otherwise, you might accidentally send a petty message to the very person you're gossiping about. Personally, I am guilty of this phenomenon. My friend jokes that I shouldn't even have a phone after all the times I have accidentally texted the wrong person. Most of these situations were harmless; I am not always gossiping. That being said, one time I was on my way to brunch with an old friend I hadn't seen in years…

What's the most drastic thing you'd change to appease your bride-to-be friend ? Would you dye or cut your hair? How about covering up your favorite tattoos? Hopefully, your friends wouldn't ask you to change any of these things about yourself, since it's a bit impolite. It implies that the way you dress or act isn't appropriate for a wedding, as u/sinkydoodles found out when their friend tried to do just that. Why bridezillas always think that people will steal their thunder is a mystery to me.…

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. It can get a little ridiculous when that person is dressed from head to toe in one brand. Other people spend every penny they have on expensive cars . There's nothing wrong with being a car person, but some peo…

In life, only you can control how you spend your money. It’s one of the best and worst parts of adulthood! You get that fresh paycheck in your bank account, and it feels like the world is your oyster. Time to treat the besties to brunch, or have an extended shopping spree over a weekend. But once that money is gone, you get that pit in your stomach that makes you realize you have bills to pay still…Oops! Everyone has a different approach to their finances. Some people save every penny, and save…

What's your worst first date story? We all have one. Some people fumble before the date even ends, while others make their date uncomfortable after the fact. After that, read about the company CTO who demanded to “ see every line of code in this project ” after becoming suspicious of his coders.

Getting a really bad present can throw you for a loop. On your birthday, you probably expect the usual gifts: books, some candles, or maybe a nice tee shirt. The people in your life who know you best will sometimes get you some excellent gifts, like tickets to see your favorite band live in concert, or an expensive video game that you've been wanting for ages. After receiving all of these good and amazing presents, it takes you by surprise when you get a really awful gift. The people below told…
