17-year-old student constantly insults his 26-year-old English teacher’s intelligence: ‘I’m not sure how to write an essay that’s simple enough for you.’
We all went to school with some know-it-all kids who thought they were smarter than everyone there, including the teacher. I have empathy for kids who are genuinely advanced and don’t have the opportunity to take AP classes or other challenging coursework. If a kid is actually extremely bored and unchallenged by school, it can …

18-year-old nursery employee leaves greenhouse without telling his boss because the temperature was 130 degrees: ‘I cannot work in conditions above 115 degrees’
There are many times when we all wish we could just walk out of the office without announcing it to a soul. Wouldn’t it be awesome if we had more free will and could just leave work and go to the art museum for 3 hours on a Thursday afternoon? In some offices, this is …

17-year-old girl calls out her mom for ignoring her because she wishes her daughter had been born a boy: ‘She’d talk about how she’d love to have a little boy of her own.’
A lot of parents experience disappointment when finding out the gender of their baby. Perhaps they’ve already had four girls and are now looking for one boy to complete their family.

We live in a world of nicknames. When I was a kid, I was told that I might want to go back to going by Emily instead of Emmy for professional reasons. I don’t care how juvenile Emmy might sound…I’m not going by Emily anytime soon. We live in a much more casual world than …

Entitled mom demands library patron move from the computer he’s using so that her 16-year-old daughter can use it: ‘You’re an adult. You can work anywhere. She’s a child.’
