Should social media influencers still be a thing?

Whether it's taking up two parking spots with one car or interrupting conversations incessantly, there are both written and unwritten rules about how people should behave in public. But of course, not everyone follows said rules. In fact, the audacious folks among us actively do the socially unacceptable thing in public, sometimes because these rules are ludicrous and sometimes because they have no level of self-awareness. Before we reveal the various “uncool” things people do in public all the…

Your boss might be more internet-savvy than you know. While going through the hiring process, it's crucial to ensure your social media presence is squeaky clean. Maybe you remember a few tasteless tweets from ages ago, or you have a few hot takes that shouldn't have been shared to Facebook. Even if those posts are old, they aren't harmless. Anyone who knows how to do control+F, allowing you to search a webpage by phrases, can find any salacious information on your profile. Even a quick Google s…

This person couldn't believe their eyes when their job position was suddenly taken over by a volunteer . Not just any volunteer — a nepotism hire, thanks to their boss. U/fjewioafjksldfhe created a throwaway account to tell r/pettyrevenge seekers about their crafty payback on their former boss. Social media is everywhere, and posting to various accounts in brand voice is a real and important job. Still, as with many types of undervalued jobs, like writers or artists or photographers, some bosse…

Mom-fluencers are objectively the worst. Half the time, they're the type of parents that film their child's tantrums to teach their 20,000 followers how to manage meltdowns, but in real life they're forgetting to give their kid any genuine attention, they're late to pick them up from school because they were live-streaming at Target, and they're the parent that would rather get those likes instead of putting a bandaid on their kiddo's scraped knee.

Sometimes it only takes one little thing to break apart a friendship . It could be something as simple as a text message — or the lack thereof, in this person's case. One thing you realize the older you get is that it isn't what people say that matters so much as what they do. That whole “actions speak louder than words” sentiment is totally accurate. There are only 24 hours in a day, and if someone makes you a priority, they're taking time from their day to include you in their life. People ce…

Ax throwing is such a fun activity, it's no wonder the person in this tale decided to host a birthday party there. If you've never done ax throwing before, it's about as simple as it sounds. You show up to the location, get your own lane to throw axes down, and then an instructor teaches you the proper throwing techniques. You can learn to throw axes in just a few minutes, and then you have quite some time to spend trying to hit targets, pop balloons, or play other target-practice games. The ho…

Seasons may change and summer may have just begun, but pettiness is here to stay!

Some clients aren't ever satisfied with the service they receive.

On top of all of it, some people will still go out of their way to try and fool these sellers. This influencer did exac…

Thanks to smart phones, any moment can be videoed or photographed , and not everyone is okay with that. Smart phones have made our lives infinitely easier, I wouldn't deny that. However, the cost of everyone having a smart phone is that any and every thing is recordable now. From people's best moments to their worst, people aren't afraid to pull out their phones and start filming. Then, they often share it to social media, where they can share it with friends, rake in likes and comments, and po…

Many bakers do post behind the scenes videos on their social media pages, and it's incredible the amount of skill and technique necessary for these desserts . Some bakers use premium…

We love family drama when it's not our family!

This woman gained a hater all because she's, um, using social media platforms ? No one ever said growing older would be easy, but this woman is having a lot of trouble adapting to new technologies.

The writer claims that the SIL finds basically all her hobbies and inspirations from the app. And what are these trends that have the OP so upset? Well, her SIL is doin…
