That's not to say at all that the best gifts are those that cost the most money. More often than not, it's the gifts that took the most time and show the giver understands you that mean the most. Unfortunately, while you may receive some gifts in your life that tick the boxes of a great gift, there will be plenty…

'A chef... called the grill "Hamburger Helpless"': 25+ Chefs and waiters who kept their back-of-house coworkers laughing

There's always at least one person in every workplace who can't help but make everyone laugh. This is the kind of person that people say “lights up every room they walk into.” They just immediately begin cracking jokes and lightening the mood. This kind of person is especially appreciated in high-stress environments---like the back of house at a busy restaurant. Back-of-house, sometimes abbreviated as BOH, refers to all of the workers behind the scenes, like chefs, meal preppers, and dish washe…

We're all just barely getting by in this world; every day is an uphill battle with no summit in sight.

'I fired a guy for trying to drive a scissor lift down the stairs': 25+ Safety watchdogs who were caught off guard by careless companies

Maybe safety measures seem like common knowledge to us, but lots of companies would rather save a few bucks and let their employees take on the risk. That's why there's OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which doles out punishments for workplaces that don't protect their workers. However, OSHA is very understaffed, and there's a lot that slips through the cracks. Have you ever seen videos of demolition workers who are trying to bring down a building by themselves? They wil…

'[He] wants my 1963 Fender': Musician refuses to give her $3,000 vintage guitar to her teenaged stepson; stands her ground even when accosted by family

Kids don't understand the value of things. It may sound old school, but the only way to really know what something is worth, is to work really hard to acquire it.

‘You're Wrong’: The Most Unpopular Opinions This Week

Last week I was at a friend's birthday party, sipping some beer, chilling, and observing everyone quietly from the side, but admittedly tuning into conversations that were happening around me. I was surprised, per usual, at the sheer audacity some people have when they put down others for having a different opinion. Tell me you are insecure, without telling me you are insecure. Not everybody has to agree with you. Moreover, it's probably best that they don't. If you are always surrounded by lik…
