There are a lot of mixed opinions on which passenger is in the wrong here. You know that amazing feeling when you find out the seat next to you on a plane is empty, giving you more space? That's what happened to this man when he was flying with his wife. He was happy to learn that the aisle seat of their row was open, so he moved from the middle seat so they could have more room. They were sitting like this for five hours of their eight-hour flight when a woman from a few rows back demanded the…

Just because you have a degree doesn't make you smart, and that is pretty obvious when you take a close look at people who have graduated from college. Let's talk about school. A student's quick thinking saved the day when his school's computers encountered a recurring shutdown issue. The school relied on a program that reset changes after logout, requiring students to save work on the server. But a licensing issue caused the PCs to shut down after 20 minutes, deleting unsaved work and frustrat…

Would the world be a better place if we all simply said what is on our minds without worrying about the repercussions? The truthful answer is that probably not, but we all sure would love to have the opportunity to speak up on matters that we usually stay silent about. For instance, how we truly feel about our employers and the way they treat their employees. When an employee decides to quit their job, however, they get the rare opportunity to tell their managers how they really feel about them…

Some relationships feel like they came to an end before they even really started. If you ask the folks who shared stories behind their short-lived relationships , you will see a myriad of reasons why some couples cannot last longer than the runtime of Killers of the Flower Moon . First, there are always the classic reasons: different lifestyles, contrasting life plans, and an overall lack of chemistry. But then, there are the surprising revelations that people probably should have disclosed bef…

Keeping up with slang is a slippery slope

It seems like many companies and businesses have failed to understand that trying to micromanage and over-control their employees is not going to help their businesses prosper. Quite the contrary actually – if the employees are unhappy, and feel like they are being observed with every step they take, nothing good will come out of it. No matter how much employers try to make employees believe otherwise – they need their employees just as much as employees need them. That is the thought process t…

Enough is enough! A person can only put up with so much nonsense from their job before they throw their hands up and quit. No one knows that better than the 7,000+ people who shared their “F*** this, I quit!” stories to r/AskReddit.

Everybody makes mistakes, but some are very hard to fix. Sure, some of you may be thinking that bad hair days are not a big deal. After all, hair grows back. However, it’s not like it grows back overnight. As Phoebe Waller-Bridge declared in the second season of Fleabag , “hair is everything!” We may want to pretend like hair isn’t important or that an unfortunate haircut is forgettable, but whether or not we want to admit it, we carry these moments with us. I vividly remember when my mother ca…

Have you ever come across a job listing and immediately knew you wouldn't want to work there? Maybe the listing used phrases to describe the company culture, like "we're a big family," or stated that they required candidates who could "perform well under stress," setting off major red flags in your head. That's not really the type of environment you're looking for when you're trying to find your dream job. But the kinds of red flags you can find at companies go way further than those examples.

Life is about trying things, but it's also about knowing your limits. In theory, you want to be able to find a good balance between the adventurous part of yourself and your rational side. If you lean too far into your impulses to explore, you could end up driving in the dark on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere with absolutely no cell service (this happened to a fairly impulsive friend of mine). On the other end of the spectrum, though, you don't want to be so stuck in your routine that you…

20-year-olds feel like they're invincible. Free of the shackles of their parent's rules and setting off into the world on their own, it's tough to fight the god complex that comes with your 20s. You're young, you're healthy, and you've got your whole life ahead of you! But guess what, your mid-life crisis is just around the corner…

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 a new hire at your job is always exciting. It's nice to have a fresh perspective, someone to help with the workload, and possibly a new work bestie. Unless they are a terrible employee, then it's not exciting to get a new hire. Sometimes, employees are onboarded, make it to the 90-day review period, and are let go. Or sometimes they decide that the company wasn't what they were looking for and leave on their own. That's why you can't get yourself super invested in a new coworker beca...

Ride app drivers seem to have seen and heard far more on the job than they would like to have experienced. On the one hand, you could argue that it comes with the territory. However, on the other, you have to wonder why customers can't just keep quiet during their rides. These taxi, Uber, and Lyft drivers have seen it all, from breakups happening right there in the backseat to major life confessions to full-on cheating. In theory, you would think that these guys are getting the full range of th…

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…

Having a fully grown adult crash on your couch for weeks on end can be wildly frustrating. Sure, it's fine for a night or two. Maybe it's even fine for a week if the circumstances behind the situation have been rough. But if you live in a tiny apartment as is and this person becomes nothing more than an inconvenience, then Houston, we have a problem. Now, what about a couch surfer who stays with you for months and repeatedly trashes your place, only to leave a ton of their belongings behind aft…
