Coworker goes through colleague’s phone and finds texts calling her annoying, starts spreading rumors about her in the office: ‘I never leave my phone out in the open, so that means she had to go through my stuff to get it.’
If she can prove that she actually read her texts, she could get herself fired. One of my biggest fears is someone hacking into my phone and reading all of my nefarious texts. It’s not like I’m confessing to anything that will put me behind bars in my texts, but I have definitely said things …

40-year-old refuses to give in to her 3-year-old cousin’s temper tantrums while babysitting her, mom scolds her for not giving her daughter exactly what she wants: ‘How dare you try to discipline my child?’
She’s trying to help her cousin become a functioning member of society, but her mother clearly doesn’t want that. No parent likes to hear their child crying. There’s a reason the «cry it out» method that dominated the 20th century feels unnatural to parents: it probably is. If a newborn is crying, it’s natural to …
