The current state of livestreaming goes quickly from trend to trend, like the Tiktok NPC trend of 2023 where creators said things like “ Ice cream yum yum,” in a hypnotic loop. But some creators constantly push the limits while the cameras are on. What is livestreaming and why is it so popular? As the name implies, a person turns on their ca…

College presents many challenges to young adults, but nobody talks about the struggles of the first few nights sleeping outside your childhood bedrooms. While we all had sleepovers and trips with friends and school, that is not the same as completely moving out of our home and regularly sleeping in a different bed, and that is not an easy experience for young people. On my first night in my dorm room, the first thing I noticed was how loud the street outside was, mainly because of all the cars…

These people have said some pretty hilarious things while sleep-talking , and their friends or spouses overheard them! It seems like every family has at least one person who sleepwalks or sleeptalks , and the rest of the group gets to make fun of them. It's just one of the enjoyable parts of living with people. It's highly amusing to watch someone who's clearly asleep stumble around or shout random nonsequiturs. For the people in these stories, they got to witness some hilarious moments that th…

What's the deal with king-sized beds ? That's the question on the minds of the commenters on this story about a hotel that became overrun by executives and their bossy assistants. This front desk worker, u/KOd06, has a least favorite week of the year. They work at a hotel, and they dread a yearly convention of the hotel's Board of Directors. Where do these big wigs stay? Well, at the hotel they're on the board of, obviously. That means that managers are running around trying to make everyone's…

This one goes out to all the significant others out there who have to endure their partners' sleep-talking every single night. You folks are the real heroes! Seriously, it's not easy to date a sleep talker. It's almost like dating two different individuals. There's the person you're spending your days with, the person with whom you have fallen in love. And then there's the person they become when you turn off the lights. Yes, it's like dating Gollum. Once your partner is asleep, they might reve…

This bank worker had one of the strangest weekends of their life. Three-day weekends are a beautiful thing to look forward to. After that Friday's over, you have a full Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to travel or relax or sleep a lot. When you spend so much time at work, having a little bonus day off is a great feeling. This person was probably looking forward to their own three-day weekend , but their boss didn't let them enjoy it at all. As a contract worker, it seems like the OP, u/erikestrada…

Don't mess with a dad on vacation

We all crash on the couch every now and then, maybe even more often than we'd like to admit. It's just sooooo cozy as you're watching TV; getting up and going to bed can seem like the worst thing in the history of the world. And it is. So, you keep laying there, fighting to stay awake for as long as you can as your eyes slowly drift and then… bam. It's 6 in the morning. Or, like in the OP's case, the living room is just so much cooler (temperature-wise) than the stuffy bedrooms. I can relate to…

There are two kinds of people in the world: People who hit snooze when their alarm rings and people who get up right away. Although it may seem trivial, this should probably be the first thing you ask in your future-roommate's interview because the two disciplines of alarm management cannot coexist in the same home. Period.

Be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it. After a weary and sleepless night, hopefully this glass manufacturing plant owner has learned the right lesson. If you've ever seen anyone perform glassblowing or watch an artist create a figurine out of hot melty glass, you know how hot this job can get. Glass doesn't like to melt until it's a nice toasty 2700–3100° farenheight. Anyone around these operations needs special protective gear and certifications to ensure everyone's safety…

This employee tried over and over to tell their boss that they were making a mistake . Some bosses just always want to think they're right. U/Ars-Torok had a great malicious compliance story to tell, and while it's a long story, it's totally worth the read. The OP writes that while rising through the ranks of this company, they worked with a few different bosses. One was a great boss who could solve anything… and the other was Steve. Steve was the kind of boss who thinks they are right 100% of…

No matter what you're doing on that work laptop, your boss definitely knows about it . Take that as a word of warning if you're up to shady business or thinking about applying to other jobs on your office computer! In the days before cameras were plastered everywhere, you probably could get away with a lot. But as the bosses who commented below know, even without cameras, they have eyes in the back of their heads. The walls have ears! As one boss mentioned, they can hear everything their employ…

No one ever agrees about this debate. Depending on where you're sitting on the plane , your point of view changes on this too! The evergreen debate being had on r/AmItheA**hole is from a frustrated husband who recently flew with his wife. It seems like the trouble started right from the beginning of their flight . The dude behind the OP's wife was playing a game on the in-flight TV, meaning that he was jabbing at the back of her head! If that wasn't annoying enough, the OP's wife was really sle…

Some people would do pretty much anything for their family. As Dominic Toretto always said, :The most important thing in life will always be family". Well, for one Redditor, the most important thing in his life, is sleep. And apparently nothing in this world could threatened to deprive him of his 8 hours– not even the near d3ath experience of a family member.

Drunk people can be the worst sometimes– especially when you're sober. The worst thing about drunk folks can be their brash behavior and inability to recognize social cues, boundaries, and appropriate protocol. One man, a morning shift worker who was preparing for a 4AM shift , became the brunt of classic drunkard antics one Saturday evening, but quickly got his revenge. u/itzpiiz, let's call him 'Piz', got mercilessly hounded by a ditzy drunk girl one night. The drunkard had the wrong number a…

This manipulative MIL chose an inopportune time to pop over for a visit, then had the audacity to get mad about it. Early one weekend morning, around 8 AM, this woman's mother in law decided it was the perfect time for her to make an unplanned visit. The surprise visit left the OP furious, and started a huge fight with her MIL , which she chronicled on r/JUSTNOMIL. U/qwerty46538 shared that one weekend morning , her MIL started blowing up her son's phone with texts and calls . Since it was a Sa…
