Husband buys expensive designer purse for his wife, retroactively gives it to his materialistic 16-year-old daughter because she begged for it: ‘Her father had no right to give her my purse and that she needed to give it back to which she refused’

I’ve seen so many posts from married people with kids talking about the necessity of prioritizing their marriage first and their kids second. As a married person without kids, I feel incredibly qualified to judge them and say that they don’t have their priorities straight. In my mind, I feel like your kids and your …

It’s getting toward the end of the year, which means we’re looking back on all our triumphs of 2024- all the things we accomplished, we’re proud of, and we want to carry forward into 2025. It also might mean we’re reflecting on all the things we did wrong– all the mistakes we made, all the …

27 Baffling Design Choices Found in the Wild (December 22, 2024)

The holidays provide lots of opportunities for design fails. You may be hanging the stockings by the chimney with care, but are you ensuring that Santa’s signature jolly phrase isn’t confused with a string of insults toward women? You may be wrapping your gifts like a pro, but are you making sure the phrase «Let …

27 Baffling Design Choices Found in the Wild (December 15, 2024)

Have you ever pushed a pull door on accident? I certainly have. Sometimes, you can’t be blamed. The font is too small, the placement is too weird, and it is not an eye-grabbing color. This is a classic design fail. Someone was supposed to design something you could use, and they didn’t do a good …

Husband insists that his wife sell the $3K worth of designer clothing her friend gifted her so they can buy a new couch: ‘He’s upset and saying I’m putting this fabric before our families comfort’

There’s something so special about getting a gift from a friend. It doesn’t matter whether it was cheap or expensive; the fact that someone else cared enough about you to find something that suits your fancy is an incredibly kind and underrated gesture of friendship. While gift-giving might be seen as the most superficial of …

Some folks say that failure is inevitable. You can’t go your whole life only succeeding. That’s not life. You would have no opportunity to grow if you were immediately good at everything you tried. Imagine that, though, if you won a superpower in a would-you-rather-type scenario and were magically good at everything. What would you …

27 Baffling Design Choices Found in the Wild (November 24, 2024)

When designs fail, we have no one to blame but ourselves. After all, we’re the ones who got ourselves into this situation. We created houses for ourselves to live in, products for us to consume, and signs to tell us where we’re going and what’s going to be there. So when something goes wrong with …

25+ Baffling Design Choices Found in the Wild (November 17, 2024)

We’re all allowed to fail, it’s what makes us human. If we didn’t fail, we wouldn’t know when we succeeded. If I spent my whole life only pushing doors that said «push» and pulling doors that said «pull,» I wouldn’t be able to congratulate myself when I finally remembered to read the sign. If I …

27 Baffling Design Choices Found in the Wild (November 10, 2024)

Sometimes designs fail us. They try to solve a problem and then just end up creating more problems. I’ve definitely done this. I’ve tried to put up a shelf in my room just to end up with a couple of holes in the wall that weren’t there before. Then I tried to fill in the holes …

28 Funny NYC Marathon Signs For Miles of Laughs (2024)

If you know someone who ran the marathon, odds are you were keenly aware of it. Probably more than you want to. They’ve probably made it abundantly clear that they’ve run a marathon. And to be fair, all credit to them. That’s not an easy gig. But why, a couple of times a year, does …
