When we were kids, we were constantly told to always listen to the adults in our lives, most importantly to our parents and teachers. We were raised in the belief that adults always knew what was right and wrong, so we should take their words as guidance through life. Unfortunately, that is often not the case, and surely now we can all think of examples of times adults were very much in the wrong, and went as far as taking advantage of their seniority over the kids in their lives, leading to ve…

When we're young, we assume that our parents and other adults in authority are infallible, generally taking them at their word and assuming that all adults conduct themselves in mature, non-biased, morally upright, and ethical ways. You come to find, as you age, that even the paragons of your youth are, in fact, fallible, imperfect people. This realization will often first cause you to feel resentment before you eventually come to accept as you age further that they were nothing more than peopl…

Things got weird fast when a man generously allowed his Karen neighbor and her kids to use his pool. At first, it was no big deal—she would ask, and he didn’t mind. But things took a turn when she started showing up unannounced, even using the pool when he wasn’t home. The final straw came when he returned from work one day to find Karen throwing a full-blown pool party with her friends, complete with floaties, snacks, and loud music. He confronted her, explaining that she couldn’t just use his…

The folks you're about to read about were not the A+ students of their classes. Not every student can be the best in their class. Most are going to be somewhere in the middle, and some are going to be at the bottom of the roster. Up next, find out why “an entire group of bridesmaids left a wedding" while acting on a dare.

This sounds harsh, but it's one of those lessons where the sooner you learn it in life, the better off you'll be. Success takes effort—and sustained effort at that. At a certain point, a certain amount of sustained effort is going to be an essential factor and determinant of whether you have an income that can support your continued existence and survival. That's not to say that it's the only thing that matters, but for most of us, it's an important starting point. Thus, this lesson holds value…

Sometimes, the sweetest revenge is accidental. Sure, perhaps you've been fantasizing about the different ways in which you can get even with your unapologetically noisy next-door neighbor, but the conflict-avoidant part of you has kept you from acting upon those fantasies. All you can do in these situations is to hope for karma to rear its ugly head, and in this case, it didn't even have to. This tenant tried numerous times to keep both his adjacent and upstairs neighbors quiet. These were a gr…

We get it... things got complicated when computers got small enough to put in our pocket, but just because you've lived longer on this earth, doesn't mean you're up to date on the nuances of everything that's going on in 2024.

While waiting in line at the grocery store, this dad and his 2-year-old son found themselves in the middle of a wild scene. Right in front of them, a Boomer was having a total meltdown over his apple juice, waving around a half-full gallon jug and loudly complaining to the poor cashier that it tasted awful. As the entitled Boomer went on and on, the toddler started to imitate him. Not quite old enough to speak, the kid still nailed the Boomer's whiny voice, causing nearby shoppers to stifle the…

Sitting next to a screaming child is the worst nightmare for most airplane passengers. Well, it's between that and a chatty adult who refuses to leave you alone over the course of a long flight. Most parents try their best to relax their disruptive kids, but there is only so much they can do. In this scenario , however, we have a couple who refused to do anything at all. In fact, they sat behind their screaming children and made it seem like the passenger seated next to the little miscreants wa…

Even though ‘vlogging’ has become a popular career path for many people, it does not mean we should overlook the dangers and red flags this so-called profession poses. Filming your life does not permit you to do whatever you want, and becoming ‘internet famous' has many cons alongside the pros, so this career might not actually be as glamorous as it might appear. Parents who decide to share their kids' entire lives on the internet, should definitely not be allowed or accepted, especially when t…

It's surprising and disappointing sometimes the disrespect and disregard people have for their spouses when relationships are supposed to be built on respect and support. We're talking about someone who is supposed to be your other half, so it makes sense that responsibilities be split and handled as if that were the case—where capable and able. We're all only human, and our lives and their requirements are changing all the time, so we're not going to get it right all the time, but that's where…
