Talk about the fragility of some people's egos. If your entire ego is built around feeling superior to your partner in intelligence, and that superiority can be shattered by something as innocuous as a phony online IQ test—well, quite frankly, you deserve however that makes you feel—you totally set yourself up for that one. (Especially when you were the one insisting that your wife take it.) Online exams of any type are useless—unless they're to find out which Disney princess you are. Sure, the…

The cafeteria chefs who cook for public school kids are doing a very important job, but the meals they serve up can sometimes miss the mark. I want to take this opportunity to use my platform to talk about Italian dunkers. These were a top tier lunch food , and as a very picky child, it was my saving grace. These Italian dunkers were basically just mozzarella cheese sticks wrapped inside dough, but they tasted heavenly. Looking back, giving an 8-year-old four cheese sticks for lunch with a side…

Some of these pranks took major dedication. If I had the kind of follow-through that these folks had, I would definitely go as far as these people. I mean, if one can barely get through one's work tasks each day, how does one find the time to play a prank on one's annoying coworkers? However, if I could find that time and motivation, I'd be taking lots of inspiration from these Redditors, who shared their office pranks via this r/AskReddit thread. Some of these pranks include the classic “stapl…

Think of the most off-the-wall way you could make pasta… and it's still not as odd as this MIL's custom recipe . This woman and her husband have a great relationship with his parents. But now that the OP, u/NecessaryAct35, is pregnant, she's finding herself unable to eat the food that her mother in law has been making…and she may have a good reason why. The issue with this mother in law's mac and cheese dish is that she seems to have added far too many ingredients into the mix. Of course, depen…

We love when local Karens make up rules for the whole community to follow that simply do not exist. It's as if they live in their own tiny little universe where every thought that comes into their brain is not only factual but law . We've seen this situation transpire before with Karens involved in HOAs or neighbors who have ridiculous standards and procedures for everyone else to follow. In this scenario, which was posted to Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit, we have a Karen whose daughter was…

A lot of people go to study abroad, whether it's because their dream school happens to be halfway across the world, or because they'd like to get out of the little town they're in for a chance at a fresh start, or maybe just to soak in some culture that isn't their own. In this case, u/Lukus-Galaktikus was enjoying his time in a foreign country, studying and making new friends. He lived in an apartment building that was full of other foreign students and got along fine with everybody. That is,…

Having two bosses who are each mad at you for doing the thing the other boss told you to do is like being stuck between a rock and a hard place… But, in this case, the rock and the hard place are obstinate and refuse to talk to each other—having never figured out how to communicate properly. With that in mind, you probably wouldn't be surprised to learn that the rock and the hard place are, in fact, married and own a business together since plenty of married couples are experts at not communica…

This neighborhood HOA must really regret picking a fight with this driver. As u/wra**ehole writes in this great malicious compliance story, their HOA was seemingly targeting their car. Why? Because it's a bit old, about 30 years old to be exact, though the OP claims it's not an eyesore. Clearly, their HOA thinks differently. HOAs are supposed to improve the communities they surveil, but they've garnered a reputation for being nit-picky about every little detail of a person's property. You might…

If I had a dollar for every time I left an interview feeling bad about myself, I'd probably at least be able to go have a fun night out with that cash. It happens too often to many of us just trying our best out there in the dog-eat-dog world of career searching . You go to an interview, you've prepared… You're all dolled up, and you practiced your responses, and yet the second you walked into that hiring manager's office or clicked into the virtual meeting, the vibes were off... Is that your f…

Sometimes, working in a company or industry is a great way to ruin that brand or product for yourself completely… Almost always, looking behind the curtain reveals that there is no great and powerful Wizard of Oz, but rather just an old scammer defrauding their customers. The cynical and downright illegal ways in which some major companies service their customers is astounding. You might see this attitude presenting outwardly as policies designed to drown customer complaints and warranties with…

If you have a generic email address and a generic name, there's a high likelihood that you've received someone else's information by mistake...

Remote workers love working from home and Boomers simply can't wrap their brains around that. Nowadays, with so many jobs going remote, some managers are panicked that they'll never get the chance flaunt their $400 ties in front of their lowly employees, over-squeezing their hands with every handshake and blurting uselessly affirmative business mantras to ‘boost morale’. Okay Boomer, but we don't need to waste 2 hours in the car to commute to the office just to...

Receiving a pay raise of just $1 would be slightly offensive after proving your loyalty for nearly five years.

Anyone who has had a job has probably, at some point, worked through their break—if you're working in certain industries, you've probably worked through many. The integrity of the organization and your manager will be determined when they find out that you've had to finish your breaks to keep up with the workload or a rush of customers. Chances are they quietly turned a blind eye and pretended that it wasn't happening; after all, the store has been understaffed for so long that it's basically t…

This attorney moved from the city to the country without considering the consequences. It's a major life change, as u/USPO-222 writes. Social media often glamorizes life on a farm. On Instagram or Tiktok, people who act “trad” (meaning traditional) show off their relaxing, low-technology life. Some people will share their days of baking fresh bread, doing household chores, or feeding chickens. Farm life is all that stuff, but there's so much more that goes into it, especially for those who have…

Karaoke is not for everyone, and it's ten times worse when you have an actual good singer present. We all know why that is. They hog the microphone, they take it too seriously, they pick obscure songs (probably musical theater), and belt crazy notes that don't actually sound as good as they think. In short, karaoke is only fun when everyone in the group is on the same page about what this is. You can either have a room full of show-offs and legitimate singers, or you can have a room full of non…
