When it comes to in-laws, there are big asks and small asks. A small ask might be asking your mother-in-law to watch your son for a few hours while you go to a job interview in the city. A small ask does not entail asking your mother-in-law to switch jobs or retire early so her …

It’s important to have a good relationship with your neighbors because you never know when you may need them.

‘This isn’t Young Sheldon’: Exam-taker asks fragile student to swap seats, causing her to fail said exam
I believe in exam rituals. They can be high-pressure situations, so it’s up to you to do everything in your power to make yourself sane. And there are plenty of tips and tricks designed to help you succeed. I remember someone recommending chewing a certain flavor of gum when you’re learning/studying, and then chewing the same gum at the exam, to …

‘This is only the beginning of the craziness’: Greedy landlord raises roommate’s rent for using two ceiling fans in summer
Living with a landlord is like having an RA roommate in college. They’re probably gonna narc on you at some point. We all bend the rules every now and then, as is our right. We have to exercise our own selfishness sometimes, or else it’s going to come out in weird ways. Adults (at least …

Man lives in his sister’s house cheaply for 15 years, refuses to leave after being given a 1-year notice: ‘I had no choice but apply for a court order to evict them’
We have one of those family members who, when given an inch, takes a mile. It’s natural to want to help your kin in their times of need or in your time of bounty, but it isn’t easy to maintain boundaries once you’ve already offered endless assistance. If you let your sister and her husband …

Father fires 16-year-old niece from babysitting after being 20-minutes late twice, her mother blames it on time blindness: ‘It’s not her fault’
There’s a difference between being late for something and being late for something without even knowing it.

‘You are being unnecessarily dramatic’: Dentist refuses to attend brother’s wedding because she doesn’t like off-the-shoulder dresses
Wedding attire is often a contentious concept, though it really shouldn’t be. Don’t wear white if you’re not the bride, and keep it formal. End of story. But there are so many rules and gradations of rules that everyone gets a little crazy. There’s a whole subreddit dedicated to wedding fashion advice, and it gets heated. But in my mind, it’s on the bride and groom …
