There are few more embarrassing yet common social faux pas than accidentally breaking something that somebody else owns. Even when the event was pretty much unavoidable, it is hard not to feel careless and dumb as you take responsibility for ruining the property of a friend or acquaintance.

Owning your own home is a huge milestone, especially in today’s chaotic housing market. Buyers are often forced to make split-second decisions to lock something down before it’s off the market, and homes in some cities sell in under 24 hours. But it’s a big decision, and it can be hard to find your dream …

Couple try to bring unwell 2-year-old son on friend vacation, demand back non-refundable $2000 when told they can’t come: ‘Morgan told us we were selfish and horrible friends’
It is an unfortunate truth that every so often, vacationing with friends is a much nicer idea in theory than it is in practice. While it is fully possible to go on a friend trip and have a wonderful time, it can also bring out people’s more unpleasant traits and uncomfortable relationship dynamics. It is …

20-year-old tries to stop sister from naming her newborn after a fungal infection, sister says she’s ‘stepping way out of line’: ‘Just tell the husband what it means’
I’m all for an unconventional name. I know people love to give celebrities flack for the offbeat names that they often choose for their offspring, especially the Kardashian variety. But personally, I don’t mind a name with a little bit of flair. It may get a groan from your relatives but I have a feeling …

‘This is my house, if you don’t like my rules get out’: Man defends kid and tells in-laws to leave after they publicly shame their 8-year-old for accidentally spilling a drink at family BBQ
Family gatherings can be a lot, especially when you’re the one hosting.

Houseguests learn host took day off to relax after their stay, so they extend trip only to get kicked out 11 hours before flight: ‘The day off is for me to rest, not to be their host’
Being a host is exhausting. Even if you love your guests, even if they’re your lifelong besties, there’s a special kind of burnout that comes from prepping your house like it’s going on Airbnb, being full-time tour guide, and turning your entire routine upside down to keep everyone comfortable and entertained. And when they finally …

‘I’m fuming’: Mother-in-law secretly invites 38 extra wedding guests by sharing RSVP link, couple finds out 2 weeks before big day and prepare to block uninvited guests at the door
I can’t imagine coming up with a wedding guest list. You don’t want to leave anyone out, but you also don’t want to pay $50K+ just to make sure your second cousin once removed—who you’ve only met once in your life—gets a seat. There’s a fine line. Plus, your parents usually want to invite people …

‘I attended a social media photoshoot, not a wedding’: Couple’s influencer-style wedding lasts four days, guests foot the bill for final dinner
Weddings these days are a whole production. I went to one last weekend for an old college roommate, and the level of detail that goes into planning is insane. Not only were there three different photographers walking around, but they also had a videographer and someone exclusively taking film photos. Why do you need that …

Married couple asks their 30-year-old roommate to leave the apartment for a week so they can have a «staycation» while their kid is at his grandparents: ‘They want me to stay at their parent’s house’
Most people have roommates during a very particular time in their lives. College students have to share a room with a complete stranger in their first year. This person will either be their future best friend, a fatal enemy, or a distant memory. In later collegiate years, having roommates not only makes your off-campus apartment …

New mom wants pregnant sister-in-law to change her baby’s middle name in case she wants to use it for a second child: ‘The in laws googled our names and found the registry’
Names are curious things. They carry a lot of weight to them, even when we don’t want them to. We might hate our names and spend our whole lives shaking them off. But our parents had a different idea. They probably spent a lot of time and energy picking out our names, making them meaningful, …
