Nothing is more unprofessional than starting a job you can’t—or won’t—finish. This contractor was a tradesman in his career, but acted more like a con artist when it came to helping out his sister with her apartment remodel.

If you haven’t read the first part of the story, you can read that here.

If a person knows how to shuffle a deck of cards, would you automatically assume they’re a magician? If someone knows how to change a tire, are they a mechanic? And if a grown man knows how to make balloon animals, does that make him a clown? No. The answer is no to all of …

Golden Child brother inherits his late Mom’s entire estate, then expects the sister who was cut out of the will to pay for the funeral: ‘[She] didn’t want us daughters to have anything’

When you’re a teenager, everything feels like a huge deal. Because it is. You feel your emotions strongly and don’t quite have the power of perspective to put it into place. This isn’t a bad thing.
