Dad yells at mom for letting their toddler shout and play loudly while he was in a meeting in his home office: ‘I hope whoever was on that call heard you being horrible to your wife.’

How is he supposed to work while hearing so much screaming?  Remember five short years ago when everyone was working from home and laughing about the little idiosyncrasies of that reality? People were much more forgiving of a dog barking in the background during a meeting than they would’ve been in 2018. But now we’re …

Homeowner struggles with repeated trespassing by neighbor’s unsupervised children, while playing and running around her unsafe yard, debates confronting their mother after she dismissed her safety warning on Halloween: ‘Her girls are a handful’

Disrespectful sister makes copious noise and invites friends over while her night-shift working sister is asleep while being a guest in her home: ‘I told her she needs to find somewhere else to stay’

I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to work the night shift. When I first applied to jobs out of college, I thought it would be cool to work from 3 PM to 11 PM, go to the bar after work, and have a beautiful morning to myself every weekday. Now, I realize how …

Parents at a movie theater let their 6-year-old watch full-volume YouTube videos for the entire runtime of the movie: ‘It concerns me how many children cannot sit without mindless garbage’

It seems like nobody’s attention spans are getting any longer. When I was a kid, video games were the main culprit in the ‘technology is ruining our children’ culture war, but I think YouTube might’ve been the biggest culprit.

Oh, how we all would have loved to have the courage to get back at annoying or loud neighbors.

Live music can be an emotional experience for everyone involved. I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve felt overwhelmed at some concerts that I have attended and even shed a tear or two.
