‘This will lead to her getting ostracized more’: Parent forbids daughter to go on school field trip for a strange reason

School overnight trips are where everything goes down. I remember my eighth grade class trip to Washington DC better than I remember what I ate for lunch yesterday.

Airline Workers Share Their Wildest Stories From the Skies

If I think about planes too hard while I’m on one, I start to get freaked out. They’re made and operated by humans, after all, and humans are fallible.

Uber Driver Preposterously Charges Fee For Waiting 0 Minutes

Uber etiquette can be a slippery issue. I’m always wondering how much I should talk, if it’s poor form to have headphones on, or if I should actually be sitting in the passenger seat. I’m pretty convinced that I’m fine on that last one, but the point stands. I suppose everyone is different, and you …
