This woman wonders if her magic-loving husband is about to do a disappearing act with all of their money.

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…

Entitled Karen guest bosses around host at dinner party, host gets back at her with utensil mixup: 'I use that as a backscratcher'

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…

'[She] berated a waitress over the quality of the brie pastry puffs': 15+ Stuck-up people who only care about money

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…

The dude who wolf-whistles at you as you're sweaty and lugging your heavy groceries inside is not really h…

Ungrateful bride sends wrong text badmouthing bridesmaid, bridesmaid sabotages the bachelorette: 'I cancelled the reservations and didn't mention it'

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…

Bridezilla insists bridesmaid make numerous changes to her appearance so she wouldn't 'ruin her photos': 'Texts and group chats... [were] telling me I was being stubborn'

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.…

'I'm not going to put up with this': Housemate stuffs his room with all his furniture after roommate overcharged him 6 dollars for rent

Finding a good roommate is like searching for a needle in a haystack… it's difficult, to say the least. Even if things are good for a while, they almost always end up going south.

This housemate (OP) uploaded a few screenshots of a bizarre conversation he had with his roommate, who was livid after finding out he was…
