Have you ever had a pesky stray string poking out of your new shirt or cardigan? It looks harmless enough—just a stray bit of material that accidentally got left over from the manufacturing process. Except, when you go to pull at it, its significance and integrity are suddenly revealed, leaving you looking the fool—with a bit of string in your hand and a gaping hole in your new shirt. That's a great metaphor for what happens when a cheat and a liar finally cross paths with the wrong target and…

It sounds like posh lady either knew how difficult she was being or has no sense of the laws of physics.

What is it with people constantly trying to blame someone else for the thing that they themselves are most guilty of? This hypocritical finger-pointing is just a vapid means of projection that these narcissistic robots employ whenever they feel threatened. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A--Hole) subreddit by the coworker scapegoated by the others, Redditor u/Maleficent_Shoe3791. She had been doing all of the work to make up for their lazy behavior, and they still tried to b…

It's always "Meowdy" and never "how's your mental health?"

Aren't families wonderful? Having someone in your life who insists on making everything about themselves is challenging… to say the least. Hijacking events to suit her own preference is probably only the tip of a very large hidden iceberg when it comes to dealing with this stepmother. This couple found themselves the target of the husband's evil stepmother after her efforts to claim a grandchild from her own children were thwarted. Her ambivalence and disinterest toward them and their pregnancy…

Maybe the in-flight movies aren't good enough for this woman and her son. When traveling and preparing for a flight , there's a lot to remember: passport, luggage, wallet, keys, and more. But most people remember to bring something to keep them occupied during the flight, too, whether that's a book or a pair of earbuds to listen to music or a podcast, or to watch an in-flight movie. This wouldn't seem to require much planning ahead, and most flights will hand out earbuds in case you forgot your…

Being on a tight budget requires creativity. Sometimes that means finding other ways to have a good time. Sometimes it means varying your meal plans by having ramen one night, eggs another night, and ramen with a hint of hot sauce for something different a third night. Sometimes your friends will hit you up wanting to go out and so you have to fake a crying fit in order to get them to pay for you to join them. And sometimes you’re not even faking that crying fit. Sometimes it’s an actual crying…

It's a rough and tough world out there job searching. Even entry level jobs are requiring experience, which, like… Doesn't that defeat the purpose of it being an entry level job?? We constantly hear “this generation just doesn't want to work anymore!” But that is simply not true. People are constantly desperate for jobs, but companies are either not paying enough, asking too much of employee, or both. So what are you even supposed to do at this point? How in tarnation can you get the dream job…

Remember that your behavior on a first date is not just seen by the person with whom you are eating.

Karens are Karens to everybody, no one is safe. Unfortunately, if you have something that they don't understand, it makes you even more of a target to entitled Karens. So this is bad news for people with disabilities, especially people with a disability that isn't immediately visible. Karens aren't going to do any research on any disability and yet they will still act like they went to medical school. A person who is legally blind took to Reddit as an outlet to share a frustrating story of a Ka…

There's nothing better than loving your job—there's nothing harder than the dawning realization that you're going to have to leave. We all get surprisingly comfortable with our routine—it's just something in our nature. Branching out into uncertainty feels risky, making us shudder at the thought of trying new things. Companies—rather, the people who run them—are the same way, and for that reason, they will be more likely to leave you in your role if it means less change and less new uncertainty…

This boss is really stretching the definition of what it means to be a salaried employee. Salaried work can be wonderful or a strain on your work life , depending on the company you work for and your managers. For some workers, they're able to put in two hours of work per day and still get paid for the entire eight. But for the majority of salaried workers , it means you're going to work 40+ hours a week. If you have a project due at the end of the day, and you're not finished by 5PM, your boss…

Shoppers can all agree that getting a good deal on a purchase is the best feeling in the world, but some Karens take the coupon hoarding to the next level. Although it's fun to get a discount every now and then, extreme couponing is the bane of every retail workers existence, especially when the person wielding the magazine clippings that'll save them $.50 cents acts like a tyrannical maniac to every worker.

You reap what you sow, and when you cherry-pick rules, don't be surprised if those disproportionately affected by them dig up some dirt and lead you down the garden path… This gardening uncle became the target of his HOA for violating their 'no fences' regulation after his Karen neighbor reported him for the small half-foot high picket fence that he placed around his garden. The HOA regulation was supposed to pertain to enclosing fences only, but the HOA's strict interpretation of their regulat…

This review could not have been more measured. Perhaps that's what made the CEO so upset.
