Friends and money are a tricky mix. We try our best to keep things fair and square, but if you’re hitting the town, it can be hard to keep things straight. I’ve found that the best path for me is not squabbling over anything under $20. And just try your best to keep things even …

‘It’s not a money thing, but it’s the principle of it’: Non-drinker starts beef with host over oddly specific drink request
Hosting a party can be a barrel of fun. It can also be immensely stressful. You’re in charge of everyone else having a good time, which can be a lot of emotional weight to take on. You want everyone to be stimulated, chatting, dancing (if it’s that kind of party), and perhaps most importantly, satiated …

‘Bats are not, in fact, blind’: 20+ Obvious things it took some folks a while to learn
As smart as humans usually are, we have to admit sometimes our rat brains get the best of us. We can go around studying particle physics, saving lives, and creating complex pieces of art, but sometimes it takes us 30 years to figure out that it’s «for all intents and purposes» and not «for all …

‘Are they insane?’: Employee understandably turns down $2.50 job, employer wants ‘to talk’
The best thing about jobs is that they pay money. That’s kind of the whole gig. Sure, there might be some jobs we’d be willing to do for free, like playing with our amateur garage band at the local pub, cleaning up our grandmother’s yard, or helping a friend move (unhappily, but I’ll do it.) …

30+ of the Funniest Shower Thoughts of the Month for Deep Thinkers (February 13, 2024)
As Natasha Bedingfield once said, «Feel the rain on your skin, no one else can feel it for you, only you can let it in.» Yes, she said rain, but she could have been talking about the «rain» that emanates from our shower heads. Only we can feel it for us. We have to let …

‘Wow, that’s awkward’: Sketchy landlord wants to use tenant’s pool on weekends
I’ve never been lucky enough to have my own pool, few are. I’d love to one day and feel the luxury of swimming whenever the heck I want. Imagine, taking a dip at 3 AM all by your lonesome just because you feel like it. That’s the highest realm of living I could imagine. And …

‘I can’t support both of us’: Entitled nephew threatens to kick aunt out of her own apartment
Living with family is… living with family. A lot of us did it for 18 years and never looked back. I looked back a little when I was first starting out and needed a little extra support, but living with family sometimes comes at a price. If you’re the one mooching, then the emotional weight …

‘Something out of a dystopian novel’: Evil company surreptitiously takes photos of employees throughout their work day
Not to sound like I have a tinfoil hat on, but the surveillance state is real. Whether we know it or not, we’re being watched and/or listened to by people (or entities) that aren’t our friends. How do you think the ads got so weirdly specific and good? How do they know I wanted that …

‘I’m the one marrying your son, not you’: Monster-in-law wants ‘moment with her son at the altar,’ gets promptly disinvited from the wedding
Maybe I’m tripping, but I feel like moms of boys are usually a little weird. Maybe it’s just because it’s not a dynamic I relate to, but moms who are super possessive of their sons always freak me out. I get being protective, but sometimes it’s too far. I don’t wanna get Freudian, but there …

‘He sent me to the office for detention’: Father gets mistaken for high school student, is written up for infraction
I think I’ve always looked exactly the age that I am. It’s kind of a superpower. When I was 12, I looked 12. When I was 20, I looked 20. Once in a blue moon, someone will think I’m younger than I am, but not often. But guessing someone’s age is all about context. When …
