Common sense and simple etiquette dictate whether or not you're a good guest in someone's home. Presumably, you'd like the experience to be an enjoyable and mutually beneficial one that strengthens your relationship, ensuring that you'll be invited back.

Air travel creates opportunities for some interesting social interactions that you wouldn't find elsewhere in life. Part of that is people tend to be pretty stressed out, even long before they actually manage to get seated on the flight. What with waking up early to get to the airport with ample time with ample anxiety owing to the uncertainty of queue times that can range from mere minutes to hours depending on the day… Following, you have to get undressed for security, parting your belongings…

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…

Recent developments in “mass content” social media have resulted in this strange divergence in the population. On one hand, there are those who share everything online and post every little detail of their day as if they're living their life on a stage. On the other hand, is the rest of the population who are horrified at the very thought of sharing a single image of themselves, let alone videos with entire monologues about intimate details of their lives. Now, you're free to live your own life…

The boundary between you and your neighbor is sacred. Whether you have a fence, hedges, a wall, or just a plain ol' property line, the duty of every neighbor is to respect and cherish the space in between. In a country ridden with kitschy ‘no trespassing’ signs that say "We don't call 911”, we take those boundaries pretty seriously– even in the suburbs, a place known for over-trimmed rose bushes, nosy HOA's, and passive aggression, neighborly feuds can arise quickly when the line is crossed...

When employees are struggling to get a raise, fighting for overtime pay, nitpicking for a day more of PTO, it really grinds their gears when the out of touch boss asks THEM for money. However, as we all know, the audacity of C-level management and supervisors knows no bounds.

Vegans are fun to joke about, and all, after all, there's something about a group of people that takes themselves so seriously without an ounce of levity or ability to joke about the subject that lends that same group of people to be a prime target for humor. Heck, there's a reason why community discussions about vegans and jokes about vegans are everywhere on the internet. That being said, if you know that your friends have something that they're humorless about, it's hard to be surprised when…

Sometimes, it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to do something for a stranger, and when that something is moving your mass a few feet in either direction to allow someone else to share access to something that everyone there specifically came to see… you're socially expected to do so. No one owns a public space or viewpoint of desirable scenery—that's kind of the point—and while they don't have an expressed claim to that location at that given time, neither do you have the right to block it f…

Parking lot debacles are becoming more commonplace, with Karens running rampant, who are quick to call the cops whenever they feel like being a martyr. Whether it is to gain some 'good person' points or because they're bored and in need of attention, it's something that is perplexing and frustrating for people worldwide. In this case, OP borrowed her father's minivan, which had a handicap plate, to go to Walmart. Even though OP was deaf, they didn't park in a handicapped space because being dea…

Some might say that it's insane to demand your friend pay you reparations for getting you fired from your job after you stole from them… and that's because they're right. It is insane to think that anyone owes you anything resulting from the consequences of your own actions. This woman posted on Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, wondering whether or not she was in the wrong for getting her friend fired, who she suspected was stealing from her. This friend had come over to a gathering at her h…

Sometimes it's amazing just how much force a karmic pendulum can swing back with, paying you back for your misdeeds ten-fold. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/ProRevenge subreddit by the avenger's friend, Redditor u/Three-Nations, who tells the story of how their friend got even with a scammer after the scammer tried to cheat them over a used water heater that they had sold. The scammer came back several weeks after the sale, trying to tell the friend that it was not working. The friend off…

It's often said that we should seek to better the world by helping those around us, but what if those people needing help are demanding help and being incredibly rude about it? Better to let the world burn if that's how it's going to be. There's no shortage of entitled people who have a 6th sense for the goodwill of others and look to latch onto that goodwill-doer like a leech and absorb all of the goodwill that is to be had. This student was helping a retired teacher from their school when the…

Teamwork makes the dream work, that's why when you have a coworker who is all for one and nothing else, things don't tend to work out. There is nothing worse than having to go to work just to be stuck working with somebody you don't like and is rude to you. What do you do with a rude coworker? If you dish back the same energy, it will just make the workplace even more exhausting to be in. So what? You just ignore it? Reddit would suggest another route. A more satisfying route. For instance, thi…
