Most of us probably have that item of clothing that we wear whenever we can. When we're wearing it, we feel good, we look good, and most importantly, we are comfortable. As we get older, comfort takes priority, and looking smart is just an added bonus. Of course, if your favorite item of clothing is your Crocs, you're not ever going to look smart, but more power to you because at least you'll look out of place in a nice restaurant in unparalleled comfort. Whether it was picking apples or fancy…

These people are having some second thoughts about the people they're dating, and they're sharing the exact moments they realized they got the ick. What does it take for you to get “the ick” from someone while you're dating? It's often just a little thing, but a relationship is comprised of a million little pieces, so even a few things that seem off can be enough to make you cancel that second date. For example, some people highlighted an interesting tidbit: they've had dates who just didn't li…

Let's be real; everything is a subscription these days, whether or not they should be or even really can be. Before long, we'll need to keep up with the weekly subscription on our toaster for the privilege of cooking two pieces of toast at once. While that might sound outrageous, keep in mind printers have already normalized that type of thing for years—even new cars have started coming with basic features locked behind subscription-based grifting models. While this is bad, it's even worse when…

We all get a little weird and crazy about our pets; that's part of what you sign up for when you devote a significant portion of your time, energy, and financial resources to a fluffy little ball of chaos living with you in your home. I'd argue that, in fact, the entire concept is a little bit crazy, and if you weren't already when you decided to get a furry friend, I promise you that you will soon be driven so. Still, no matter how much we consider our pets members of our families, even the mo…

Your family should come first at all times. But is there ever a moment when you have to put your wants and needs ahead of the needs of those around you? The story below is an account of a frustrated daughter. Because she was forced to mature at a young age, the original poster (OP) never got to enjoy her childhood. OP has been working since she turned sixteen to support her family. But once she finished high school, her parents couldn't afford their mortgage, and since she wasn't helping them o…

Who doesn't love a little drama at the local church's annual Labor Day BBQ event? This Redditor is in the midst of an ongoing divorce with his wife after she cheated on him four times, one of which was a more serious emotional affair with her husband's married close friend. Since the separation, the Original Poster (OP) had been attending a different church and started dating someone new. Still, many of his close friends were still members of his previous church, where his wife was still very m…

In her husband's defense, the joke was funny; it was just extremely poor timing.

"This is the kind of kindergarten etiquette I do not expect from a man in his 30's"

Everyone has had an unfortunate first date experience where you realize midway through the date that this is not going to work. This discovery is unique to each person's personal list of red flags. That being said, what people do not discuss enough in these scenarios is what do you do for the rest of the evening after you've discovered that under no circumstances will there be another date. Do you try your best to end things then and there? Do you smile your way through the rest of the evening…

There are some folks in the dating scene who, despite having been around the block for quite some time, still do not understand what to say and what not to say when you're first meeting a potential romantic partner. You would think that dwelling on a previous relationship or revealing an extended laundry list of red flags would be topics to avoid on a first date, but you'd be surprised what some people blurt out when they're not thinking clearly. Perhaps it's a form of self-sabotage or perhaps…

How to make yourself ‘undatable’

Excuse me, sir. I paid for this seat!

According to the laws of probability, everyone is guaranteed to end up on at least one date with someone who is out of their mind or wildly misinformed. It's about as common as the probability of getting food poisoning. It's going to happen in your lifetime at least once… If you're lucky, you'll have the epiphany that the person sitting on the opposite side of the restaurant table is a moron before there are any notable strings attached. Ideally, you'll catch it on the first date so that neithe…

What's worse than having an awkward first date at a restaurant? Having one at a funeral.
