‘Dropped a tray of 6 root beers on 6 business men’ me and a… clown on a unicycle crashed right into each other.

Rules are in place for a reason. That's what administrators will tell you. But sometimes rules are created that end up antagonizing everybody. When I was in high school, there was an inordinate amount of fighting. It was commonplace to witness at least one or two student fights per day. Not a lunch period went by without a scuffle. The school responded to this by implementing two rules. One was a zero tolerance policy, so if your bully hit you, the two of you would both get suspended, even if y…

Don't hide your secrets ---confess them anonymously instead! That's exactly what the famous Twitter account @fesshole is known for. Randos from the internet can submit their funniest, most surprising, and most scandalous secrets. Then the account will publish your secrets, and no one will be the wiser. Sometimes people will post really divisive secrets . For example, one person wrote that whenever they see someone filming in public, they go out of their way to walk in front of the camera and me…

Okay, be honest: what's the worst way you've ever answered an interview question ? This topic could unite us all. No matter how long you've worked, no matter how qualified and prepared you are, every person gets nervous going to job interviews. It's a universal fear, and for many people, it's just one of those things you have to do every few years in order to advance your career. For every five or ten interviews you do, you might get offered the job one time---or not at all. It's brutal out her…

Not everyone is an A+ student. And even some A+ students have moments of profound stupidity! These people overheard some ridiculous statements, and roughly 18,600 people weighed in with their own stories . It seems like a lot of people don't know basic animal facts . That's wild to me, because children's books are obsessed with making kids learn letters, numbers, and animals! How do you grow up to be an adult and not realize that pigs have teeth? I know some parents don't read to their kids, bu…

There's nothing like listening in to a good conversation you're not supposed to hear. It's fun to be a little bit of an eavesdropper ! How else will you ever find out everyone's secrets? Overhearing conversations is like having a little treat. You get a taste of what's going on in someone else's life, if only for a second. “Carla's coming to dinner and bringing her new BF"---tell me everything, girl. Oh, or “She ghosted me after our date, I think I'm going to delete her number"---I want to know…

These are the moments that retail workers hold near and dear. No, we aren't just talking about fond memories with coworkers. These workers got to witness as their worst customers got instant karma for their terrible behavior. Meltdowns aren't just for babies and toddlers. Retail workers have to deal with grown adults having tantrums every day. There are lots of folks who are led to believe that the only way they'll get what they want is to be aggressive and demanding about it. Technically, this…

What would you do if your boss asked you to print the whole internet page by page? Or what if they asked you to water the plants while it was literally raining outside? These people shared stories of the absolute dumbest things their bosses have ever done---including those two examples above! Some bosses rely heavily on their employees to keep things running. For example, in some offices, the assistants will be the first ones in and the last ones out, tasked with answering phones, working with…

We all have at least one moment in our lives that makes us shrivel up with embarrassment (and if we're being honest with ourselves, there's definitely more than one cringey mistake we look back on). I used to be way more embarrassed when I made mistakes, but the older I get, the more mistakes I make. I'm getting used to it, I suppose. If you let you of your need to be perfect and impress all your friends, you have a little less cringe to look back on at night wondering, “Why did I ever say that…

When you want to get the most amount of food for your money, it's time to head to your local all-you-can-eat buffet . Going to buffets was always a treat when I was a child. When you walk into a buffet, you're overwhelmed with the delicious smells and dozens of food choices. Whether you want roast turkey or green beans or cheesecake, an all-you-can-eat spot is bound to have a massive selection. I always loved getting both mashed potatoes and fries, and dipping the fries in the mashed potatoes.…

The pettiest thing this person ever admitted to was the time they "put a slice of bologna in [a] walkman CD player."

As if teachers don't have enough on their plates, they sometimes get students who think they don't need to learn anymore , because they already know all there is to know. When you're a teenager, you think you know everything there is to know. You want to be treated like an adult already! You've been in school for over a decade, and you think that now that you've passed a calc class or two, you may as well take a break from learning. When I was a senior in high school, a teacher told me that by…

Gyms aggressively seek to enlist as many members as possible, seemingly with the hope that none of them will actually use the facilities provided. Instead, keeping members paying monthly to keep the gym's barcoded tag on their key ring like some expensive subscription-based accessory. They just as aggressively prevent you from ever canceling your membership, ensuring that the entire engagement unravels with the same clarity and certainty as riddling with a sphinx. It's not unheard of for gyms t…

The bustling pace of urban life is often seen as an affront to those who have only known the relative peace of pastoral living. The two lifestyles are presented as opposite sides of the same coin, with neither capable of existing with the other—on account of the fact that the encroaching bounds of metropolitan life dissolve the countryside like a seltzer tablet in a glass of water. This story originated from a user who claimed to have found it in a comment on a different Reddit thread, neglecti…

Your years of career expertise are no match for someone who watched three YouTube videos on the subject. Learning is a lifelong endeavor for some people. They always want to read up on new ideas and form new opinions based off what they're reading or watching at the moment. Sometimes, people think they're so educated on a topic that they know better than a person in that profession. From lawyers to healthcare professionals to software engineers , these professionals have all met ordinary folks…

Business expenses, what are they and how do they work?
