Maybe you think you’re just going over to your friend’s house for some rosé and finger foods, and suddenly someone brings out a brochure. They try to make it seem all casual like they’re just asking you …

Wife serves husband’s food in the dog’s bowl, he refuses to eat it despite it being dishwasher clean: ‘She actually DID offer to switch’
Our brains don’t always react in ways that make sense on a logical level. It’s called emotions. Emotions don’t follow reason– they don’t have to. They just have to respond to the stimulus at the moment and trigger a response from our nervous system. My palms get sweaty on planes no matter how much I …

Foster parents pressure 16-year-old foster kid to change his name from Ryder to Ryan, claims his name is inappropriate: ‘They would like me to strongly consider it so I could have the chance at a professional future’
Babies aren’t put on this earth to have professional names. I understand why a parent wouldn’t want to name their kid something absurd, but if a kid is named something that society at large has decided is acceptable, who are we to make them feel wrong about that? I wouldn’t name my kid Hunter, Dallas, …

Every chronically online person has experienced the sad phenomenon of participating in something viral and then immediately getting the ick when it reaches a saturation point and/or a brand starts to use it for clout. While much …

‘Many people are living a miserable life that they can’t stand’: Coworkers call out coworker for preferring plans with fiancé of 7 years to happy hour after work
Everyone is allowed to do what they’d like to with their free time. When you’re off the clock, you’re off the clock and you don’t have to answer to anyone else. That is, unless you have toddlers, then you definitely have to answer to them. Either way, nobody can force you to do anything you …

Reciprocation is the key to any relationship, showing that you’re capable of paying attention to someone’s basic wants and needs and have considered their best interests is really the barest of requirements for establishing a bond.
