We all know a TV tyrant

It's great to have things that you enjoy and allow you to look forward to the days to come. The problem is that a lot of us (all of us?) are wired to think that “A little bit is good, more must be better.” So when something makes us happy, we seek out more and more of that thing until our entire house is chock full of Star Wars memorabilia.

If he tries to dump your dog, you better dump him back! As Liz Lemon would say, “That's a dealbreaker, ladies!” This wife was out of town with her 7-year-old daughter while her husband stayed at home to take care of their 13-year-old dog, Ellie. Ellie was old and slow; in other words, she wasn't the kind of dog to just run away. This is why the wife became immediately suspicious when her husband called them to report that Ellie had run off. When she and her daughter returned home, the wife beca…

This was not exactly the wedding of anyone's dreams. Let's start with the bride and groom of this event, who had to switch wedding planners about ten days prior to the ceremony. Just when it seemed like all the stress and chaos was under control, the food and beverage caterer completely bailed on the day of the wedding, taking the money and running without any ability to contact her. To make matters more upsetting, this was a Wish Upon a Wedding event (keep scrolling below for further details).…

This kid doesn't know just how iconic he is for doing what he did. After trying to reconnect with his birth father, both of his biological parents sat him down over a video call and asked for his understanding if they go no-contact. Yup, you read that right. For a little backstory, the Redditor was the by-product of an extra-marital affair (both of his biological parents had spouses and stayed with them). He was primarily raised by his mother's grandparents, with his birth father secretly provi…

Because of his repeated jokes about her being a “gold digger” she declined you might hope that people would be a little more mature.

Divorce lawyers have heard every reason in the book for why couples have decided to call it quits. It's different for every person—the final straw for one married couple could be something major or something very minor. U/dankph went to the r/AskReddit community to collect some intriguing stories, with divorce lawyers, divorcees, and family members all chiming into tell the story of the most outrageous divorces they've ever encountered. Living with someone before marriage is a fantastic idea fo…

If the opportunity of a lifetime comes along, you may as well take it! This person certainly did: u/NALORpod had an incredible tale of petty revenge that took them years to actually act on. Still, it was worth the wait, not just for them, but for another person who was caught up in the drama. This story revolves around a boss who was cheating on his wife. He didn't even try to hide it very well! It left his employees in that awkward situation of knowing about the affair, but not knowing what to…

Fall wedding season is in full swing, and anyone who has ever attended a wedding knows that rarely does everything go according to plan. Sometimes, minor mishaps happen, like the caterer running late or a speaker tripping up in the middle of their speech. However, there are instances where things go so terribly wrong that the rest of the day seems impossible to correct. If this collection of funny wedding photos leaves a lasting impression on anyone who is in the process of planning their upcom…

When you're legally and financially tied to another person to the point where everything would be evenly split should the relationship end, you really have no business making excessively extravagant purchases without the both of you being on the same page. The acceptability of these slides further when that thing has no bearing on, or positive effect on, advancing your lives or livelihood together. Look I'm not going to be one of those people who starts talking about how collecting “pictures pr…

Working closely together with your spouse in a workplace environment presents all sorts of opportunities for possible issues and abnormal workplace relationships. There's a reason why many organizations outright forbid known couples from remaining in the same workgroup, choosing to prevent the chance of these problems altogether by moving one of them to a different part of the company. Still, the last possible scenario you'd probably expect is one of the members of the couple to create problems…

My major revelation from this thread is the fact that a “boot dryer” exists. I mean, it makes complete sense, but for some reason, I have never conceptualized its existence—and this is coming from a guy who wears boots and occasionally has wet boots… I could have used one of these years ago. But my ignorance regarding boot dryers is not the issue at hand here; rather, it's this family's disagreement regarding the priority of usage of theirs. This husband stood his ground when his wife began ins…

Every couple is comprised of two people: The one who consistently replenishes things, providing consistent predictability in the availability of goods, and the one who refuses to replenish, instead choosing the path of disorder, unpredictability, and abject chaos. Few petty arguments grind the gears like replenishment, with this usually taking place over toilet rolls, ice cube trays, or water jugs. Try as they might to instill some sense of awareness into their partner; the replenishing partner…

These wedding photographers have some pretty good hunches about which couples will last a lifetime, and which will be divorced by next week. If you do that job for long enough, you learn the telltale signs of a relationship that's ripping at the seams. For lots of people, weddings are framed as one of the most important days of your life. It's the day that you formally agree to spend all your days with someone you love more than anyone else. The best part is that your family and friends are the…

Ahh, family. Can't live with ‘em… and can’t live with 'em. While being one of the greatest and most fulfilling parts of life, family can also be one of the most toxic and infuriating. For some reason, being around family brings out the worst in us as well. As soon as we're back around our parents, we cease to be the functioning and capable adults we are and instead become our teenage selves, reacting with exasperated vitriol to any attempts our parents make to guide us. Our parents simultaneous…

Talk about the fragility of some people's egos. If your entire ego is built around feeling superior to your partner in intelligence, and that superiority can be shattered by something as innocuous as a phony online IQ test—well, quite frankly, you deserve however that makes you feel—you totally set yourself up for that one. (Especially when you were the one insisting that your wife take it.) Online exams of any type are useless—unless they're to find out which Disney princess you are. Sure, the…
