I have long said that everyone should be forced to work in customer service at some point in their lives. If nothing else, I think it would help people to be better, more empathetic customers. Sadly, people behave in some pretty astounding ways when they are out in public, like these 10 customers who had no shame. 20. 40-year-old frat party Move...
I have a lot of weird, and generally unpleasant dreams. When I was little, they called them night terrors, although what I have now is not on the level of what most people describe as night terrors. No matter the intensity though, no one wants to wake up screaming and gasping for breath. Even though it’s pretty embarrassing, there’s...
Breaking news: Twitter is a place with a bunch of funny people on it who say funny stuff and you can read their jokes and laugh at them for free. I know that’s exactly actual news, but all the actual news out there is horrible and terrifying, so I figured a friendly fake headline might make your day better. For more on this story, we go to...
As a Millennial, I’ve spent the majority of my life being told by members of older generations that I’m far too entitled and whiny. But the truth is, I’ve never noticed any higher rates of that sort of behavior among my contemporaries than in any other group. Entitled jerks can come from anywhere, unfortunately. Like these...
I’m not a good babysitter – I never really have been. The dynamic I can’t understand with babysitting is why kids need you to entertain them the entire time. Maybe it’s because growing up I preferred to stay in my room and just sort of create things with my imagination, but I don’t get it. I conclude from this that I...
Breaking up is hard. No matter the circumstances, it can cause you to act out emotionally and do some stuff you may regret later. These people can recall the crazy thing they did after a break up that they really wish they didn’t do today. From words they can’t take back to items they’ve caused damage to, these confessions are...
We’ve all had those days. Those days where the day is hardly even a day yet, but we can still look it straight in the day eye and say, “Hey. Day. I know you’re gonna suck.” And then it just spits in your face or whatever, because you were right. What’s a “Today is going to suck” red flag? byu/redmambo_no6...
There’s a saying that gets attributed to a lot of writers though its true origin is murky. It’s one that I come back to in my mind pretty often and it goes like this: “You’ll worry less what others think of you when you realize how seldom they do.” At first it feels cold and cynical, maybe even nihilistic, but...
According to some estimates, a quality IT professional working in my city is going to make, on average, nearly 100k per year. That’s more than three times the national median income at the time of writing, putting it at quite a nice industry to get into. And why are they paid so much? Well, mostly because we live in a world where computer...
You know when you have a conversation so awkward that it just sticks in your mind forever? I have plenty of those. Can’t recall a good chunk of my childhood – many joyous moments have been withered away by a subpar long-term memory in general – but my grey matter has done everything in its power to ensure that I will NEVER lose...
