‘I would knock on the door’: 15-year-friendship is jeopardized over a $60 DJ set

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 …

‘He just left 4 kids to do that’: Daughter tells story of father abandoning family to become a break dancer, faces cringey clapback from dad himself

Rare is the individual who doesn’t have some kind of issue related to their parents.

‘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.

‘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 …

‘They are more sinister and unhinged than you can possibly imagine’: Two Ivy League Egyptologists convince the Internet they might be vampires

I am a huge proponent of dressing a little ~differently~. I love eccentric fashion, bold choices, and alienating the public with your look. As humans, we forget that we have the agency to do whatever we want. If we wanted to wear a bowler hat every day for the rest of our lives, we could. …

‘It’s very telling’: Woman gets proposed to in cargo pants, commenters claim it spells doom for their relationship

If you’re that kind of person, the Instagram post of your proposal is one of the most important Instagram posts of your life. Couples go to great lengths to create the perfect setting for the perfect pic– the environment, the angle, and of course, the outfits. I personally never thought about what I’d like to be wearing …
