No one forgets a horrendous haircut experience. It's the kind of story from your past that occasionally creeps its way into your memory out of nowhere and instantly causes you to cringe and shiver. If you are lucky enough to have never had a bad haircut experience , imagine sitting in that chair and having your barber swivel you around so you can finally see yourself in the mirror. Then, imagine not being able to recognize yourself or anything you instructed your barber in what you see in the r…

Nothing enrages a person quite like the search for parking, which is why the biker in our next story was such a considerate neighbor–although, the Karen next door didn't see it that way.

It's not easy being a father… sometimes, cheesy humor is the best that you can do. And let's be honest: after your childhood and teenage years of being constantly embarrassed by literally anything your dad says, perhaps your adult years should be about appreciating all the typically eye-roll-inducing moments. Because whether or not we wanted to admit it when we were kids, every so often, dad jokes will make you involuntarily guffaw. Even if you try to stop yourself from laughing because you're…

We all make a few big purchases in our lifetime that we end up regretting. Some people do this as teenagers, which makes sense, because at that age you're new to budgeting and knowing the price of things. When you get that first paycheck from your retail job, it's hard not to blow it all at once! The people of r/AskReddit shared their stories of the “absolute worst purchase” they've ever made, and there's a wide variety of items that people regret getting. For some people, buying a new vehicle…

It can be challenging to comprehend how someone can start working for a company and not get paid for their workdays for a while after they start the job. This means that while they drive to work every day, they have to spend money on gas and transportation, buy food, and still manage their everyday life, and they do it without yet seeing a penny from the company. Of course, it does not happen for every company, but it does happen in the company from this Reddit story. A manager turned to Reddit…

Every friend group has at least one cringe friend. So if your friend group isn't cringe to you… you're the one! It's one thing to act goofy in front of your friends. It's a whole other story when people do stuff in public that's wildly embarrassing. There's a whole type of cringe where folks decide to propose in public, whether they're asking for a hand in marriage, or asking a date to prom. For some reason, a lot of people feel comfortable asking someone they've barely dated to prom publically…

The general conception of a 'successful life' consists of a few things a person should achieve in their life, with the main ones unsurprisingly being – starting a family, having a successful career, and owning a home. While we can argue about all three of these concepts and their actual value to someone's life, let's take a moment to focus on the idea of owning a home. Surely we can all understand the benefits of owning your own house – you don't have anyone to answer to, you can do whatever yo…

If you can't be happy for your employees when they get a great promotion and manage to prove their worth inside or outside of the company, then you should probably not be a manager. This might sound harsh, but being a good manager is more than just about professional skills, a lot of it is simply being supportive of the people you actually manage, even when you don't feel like it. The manager in this Reddit story is an example of a person who is not a great pick for a management position. OP (o…

Shoulda, coulda, woulda…

One has to wonder if this entitled choosing beggar felt like this odyssey was worth it in the end. This Redditor was selling tires that were originally sold at $2K for $1K on Marketplace when he started to get a barrage of messages from our story's choosing beggar demanding to have the tires for $250. At first, the original poster (OP) rejected the offer and blocked the guy because it seemed like he wouldn't quit. Well, he didn't. Instead, he messaged OP from a second and third account and refu…

We all have that one childhood memory that was so funny it turned into a legend. Being a kid is one of the most fun times in life. You wake up in the morning and get to play all day long. It's a time of endless creativity as kids learn how to interact with the world around them and the people in their lives. And, if you've ever interacted with a toddler for more than five minutes, you know that kids get into trouble like it's their job. They're like little whirlwinds of chaos . They find an ope…

This advice might be obvious to every employee out there, but just in case there is someone who wasn't aware of this crucial piece of information, here it is written down – Always have things written down. This advice means that you should always have written proof of anything you talk about verbally with anyone related to your job. For example, if you talk with your boss about an upcoming raise, and your boss tells you - 'You are going to get a raise in May', as soon as you step out of their o…

Who doesn't love a bold swing on the dating apps? It could be a home run or a big swing and a miss, but you can't help but appreciate the attempt at the very least. Dating apps have become so ubiquitous in our culture of “courtship” that we have made swiping left and right a passive part of our daily routines, like brushing our teeth or checking our emails. This portion of the dating process has lost most of its flair and excitement, so when you do receive a message that genuinely catches your…

You aren't going to agree with everything everyone says all the time, and not only is that a fact, but it's also okay. We don't need to have the same opinions, although my mother would disagree. Just yesterday I was at a friend's birthday party. Amidst the laughter and clinking glasses, I found myself inadvertently eavesdropping on conversation brewing in corners. People said all kinds of things that made me inwardly gag, and the more I listened, the more I disagreed. Some nodded in agreement w…

There's something to be learned here about not taking things at face value and using a little common sense to draw a more logical conclusion. Often in life, things are simplified for us in order to cater to the lowest common denominator and, in the process, obfuscate the actual point of the information that was supposed to be communicated in the first place. An extreme example of this is our entire understanding of chemistry; we're taught from our days in middle school chem class—clear through…

No one wants to be micromanaged. Whether by a boss, a coworker, a partner, or even a family member, as an adult, we can handle things on our own. There is nothing more insulting than having someone constantly checking in on you to make sure you are getting things done. Well, that's just what happened to this truck driver when he was making a delivery to a client. He had to drive only a few hours and was running way ahead of schedule...
