Hmmm, this is a tough one. What would be my biggest accomplishment outside of work and school…? Maybe when I drove across the country by myself? Twice? Does that count? I thought it was pretty cool… Folks took to AskReddit to share their biggest non-school and non-work accomplishments. Get ready to cheer for them! 1....

Most of us have been there: you’re interested in someone romantically and it’s all you can think about. You can’t sleep, you can’t eat, you can barely work…it’s all-consuming. Does that sound familiar to you? Folks on AskReddit talked about how to NOT be obsessive about someone you’re interested in. Let’s see what they had...

Maybe it’s because I’ve worked in restaurants before, but it drives me nuts when I see people leave total messes behind when they get up and leave after eating out. Come to think of it, I probably a little too much work for my servers after I’m done eating because I’m so paranoid about it. But I...

I guess I can understand why someone would want to be a lobbyist if they were trying to gain support for something that was actually good (imagine that), but when I hear about people who lobby politicians for bad stuff, it really makes me scratch my head. And you know what kind of stuff I’m...

People sure do get worked up about the food they eat, huh? AND they also get worked up about the food that OTHER people eat, for some reason. I guess the three things you’re not supposed to talk about anymore are politics, religion…and food. Now you know… People on Buzzfeed were brave enough to admit...

I’m not a religious person, but I can see how people would be shocked, frustrated, or angry if they discovered that their religion went away…FOREVER. Poof! Just like that! But religions come and go throughout history… AskReddit users talk about how they’d react if they traveled 1,000 years into the future and found out their...

Let’s play a fun game, shall we? We shall! We’re going to travel into the future with these responses and we’ll see how folks imagine they’d react to a very personal conundrum. How would you react if you traveled 1,000 years into the future and found out your religion was extinct? Check out what AskReddit...

I don’t want to go so far as to say that we’re all manipulative, but I think it’s safe to say that most people out there have a few tricks up their sleeves when it comes to psychology… And I bet you’re one of them! AskReddit users admitted what psychological tricks they like to use....

Do you consider yourself a bit of a trickster? Do you like to think that you’re smarter than the average bear? Well, we’re gonna see how you measure up to the people below… What psychological trick (or tricks) do you like to use? Here’s what AskReddit users had to say about this. 1. Pro tip....

I don’t know if I’m getting old and grumpy, but my patience for looooooong conversations has kind of gone by the wayside. I don’t know I’m too busy, too impatient, or just don’t care anymore, but those long talks really seem to drain me. And I don’t think that’s a good thing… People took to...

I like to think I have “the gift of gab” at least a little bit, but I can see how it’s tough for some people to carry on conversations…even short ones. But it gets even more complicated for some folks when they have to get into the weeds during conversations, so to speak. How do...

In a perfect world, people would get a lot of things for free that we normally have to pay for…and a lot of times it’s stuff that we get overcharged for. But, as you know, the world isn’t perfect and we just have to deal with it. But still, we can all hope that someday...

It’s no secret that our healthcare system here in the U.S. is pretty messed up, but it really makes me angry when I see the price that people have to pay for certain drugs that they absolutely need to stay healthy and alive. Like insulin and other medications. It’s pretty insane and immoral if you...

Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s good for you. I’m talking about fast food, booze, vaping, the list is endless when you think about it… Everything in moderation, you know? But that’s not how most people roll. Folks on AskReddit admitted what legal things they’re addicted to. Let’s see what they had to say....

Man, I think I have too many to name… Coffee, pizza, tacos, unsweetened iced tea (I live in the South so I have to be very clear about that…). Yes, they’re legal, but I probably overdo it with those items… What legal thing are you addicted to? AskReddit users went on the record and spilled...
