Oh great, your least favorite coworker is in the office today. I bet just by reading that sentence, a person popped into your head. Maybe it's the dude who insists on taking personal phone calls all day long, repeating himself over and over. Or maybe your least favorite coworker is the woman who takes off her socks and shoes to rub her sore feet, leaving everyone else in the office mortified. Maybe you even have one of those dreaded coworkers who does literally nothing all day long, yet still c…

Money solves most problems in life, but it seems like there's just never enough of it. Even the richest people in the world just want more and more cash. You can never have too much! However, when you've been wealthy for a long time, you start to forget what it's like to be a “normal person." Most people can't just throw money at their problems.

It’s that time again, folks! Every year between Thanksgiving and the December holidays, Spotify listeners eagerly anticipate opening their favorite music streaming service to see an amusing round-up of the top artists, songs, and genres they consumed over the past 12 months. This year, of course, was no exception, with the 2024 edition of Spotify Wrapped unveiling this past Wednesday. As always, the internet reactions were everywhere as Spotify listeners posted their lists online and satirized…

If you have ever worked in the service industry, then you have definitely met lots of people who could use this training service...

If you have an appetite for nigiri or California rolls , look no further! Do you have a strong stomach and a brave heart? Do you love to try interesting foods that make others raise their eyebrows? I'm curious how many of you would fold after facing just one of these unhinged sushi rolls . Imagine you're seated at a restaurant and you come face to face with the “peppermint hot chocolate bacon cheeseburger sushi ." These six words strike fear in the hearts of many… but some of you out there are…

Let's check in with the DIYers of the world and see how that's going. Oh it's… it's going off the rails? Cool, great! We'll be the judge of thees home remodeling disasterpieces. A lot of people do DIY projects to save money, but they end up making mistakes that cost them even more money to fix. For example, some people will try to tile their own floors or counters. During the early 2020s when we all spent a lot of time at home, this was quite common : people were spending lots of time in the ho…

Who else has completely turned the page on Thanksgiving and begun their Holiday baking, shopping, and decorating? We are a few days into December now, which means Holiday obsessives are officially allowed to be insufferable without any criticism from the Grinches of the world who think it's too early to play “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” No matter where you fall on this spectrum, you definitely have a lot of feelings about all the hoopla that comes with this time of year. One thing that is…

Despite their careful planning, some wedding ceremonies are bound to have an incident or two. Often times the “incident” becomes legend: maybe Grandma does a hilarious dance after having a few too many, or your favorite uncle gives a speech that leaves everyone else speechless. These moments can be lovely. But other people had incidents that were way worse, and they're sharing their stories of exactly how it all went down. Sometimes the weather does get in the way. Rain on your wedding day is s…

It's rare, but it does happen: sometimes an entire workplace quits at once. When this does happen, it's often a glorious exodus, leaving workers happy with their fresh jobs and higher salaries, while managers scramble to find new hires. It's true what they say: people will run from bad bosses as fast as they can. Having a low salary is irritating, but if you love your job, it isn't always so bad. And if you love the people you work with, those 8-hour days may fly by, making your workweek a bree…

Part of being a human is wanting something, not getting it, and learning how to deal with that reality. These are the experiences that typically help you grow and mature. However, at any age, there will always be the entitled individuals of this world who refuse to understand and accept that they just might not get what they desire. In that same vein, these are the types of people with enough symptoms of Main Character syndrome to think that their problems are the most severe ones in this world…

In every job, there is a red line that once crossed, it becomes crystal clear that you should not spend another minute in that place of work. Most employees might be willing to push through a lot of nonsense for the sake of their job, but they all have a limit, and when that limit is crossed, it is time to move on. The employee in this Reddit story was willing to put up with 60 hours of work per week, working weekends and nights, delayed raises, and many other red flags. The red line was when t…

Sometimes you really don't want to see how the sausage is made. You just want that final product , and you want to enjoy it without knowing all of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans that it takes to create said product. This is certainly the case at many restaurants , just as one example. You just want to sit down in the seating area and have a nice meal. You don't want to think about how long it's been since they cleaned the grease trap, or how there are probably at least 10 cockroaches or mice…

Having fun with money is the easy part, but saving it and spending it wisely can take a lifetime to learn. No matter how much money you make , it may never quite seem like enough. There are so many bills to pay! Gas, electric, water, car payment, mortgage, rent, groceries… the list goes on and on. That's why it's nice to have a little treat every now and then, to take away the sting of giving away your hard-earned paycheck to strangers. Maybe you get a $7 latte or a $60 new outfit. However, som…

Sometimes, the prices really are too good to be true. Now that we're in gift-purchasing season—you know, that time of year when you suddenly remember that you actually do not have sufficient funds to make everyone's holiday dreams come true—it's time to take a look at the times people thought they found the perfect gift online… and well, it didn't turn out as they had hoped. Perhaps these customers didn't scan the online reviews or perhaps they failed to select the right size. Or perhaps they w…

Some class rules are meant to be challenged. In this day and age, it's simply most convenient for students to take notes on their laptops. While of course, we understand the concern teachers may have about playing games, texting, or online shopping, the truth of the matter is that if students aren't going to pay attention, that will be their loss both in the short and long term. Forbidding all students from using their laptops in class because of a few students who cannot help but misbehave is…

Much like breaking off a relationship with a romantic partner, when you decide to leave your place of work, there are bound to be lasting feelings that remain once you leave. Good or bad, you had a relationship with the people at your workplace, your coworkers and boss, and leaving them also means leaving with an impact. Sometimes, similarly to a romantic relationship, that impact may inspire people to take action, just like an ex who decided to call their former loved one. In our case, the for…
