Shopper uses friend’s employee discount to buy over $1400 worth of clothes, doesn’t understand why friend wants to cut her off: ‘She is taking advantage of you’
Employee discounts can be a bit of a trap. They’re nice when you get to use them, but people might start taking advantage of you, and some pretty awkward situations can arise. I used to work in a retail setting, and I didn’t love when people visited me at work. Sure, it was nice to …

Dude asks friend for $1000, gets angry when he offers him $50: ‘He called me to tell me how offensive this was to his situation.’
He’s lucky he offered to give him anything at all. Borrowing money from your girlfriend, parent, or best friend will likely hurt your relationship with them.

18-year-old refuses to invite her friend to her birthday party because she’s unattractive: ‘It would be embarrassing to invite someone like that.’
Her friend needs to make new friends. Few people are willing to admit they judge others by their appearance. It’s obviously not socially acceptable to openly call somebody «ugly» or claim you would never associate with them because they aren’t as good-looking as you are. One of my friends is extremely willing and eager to …
