Hey, famous people are just like us! Well, for the most part…except for the lavish lifestyles, the mountains of money, and the mansions they live in… But besides that, just like us… AskReddit users talked about the most famous people they’ve ever talked to. Prepare to get star struck! 1. Big star. “I spoke to...

I have a confession to make: the Discover “Cashback Match” commercials have made it certain that I will never, ever use Discover in my life because I find their commercials to be so incredibly annoying. Do you have any products that you’ve been turned off of completely because you can’t stomach their advertisements? AskReddit users...

I guess if I had to pick one fictional character off the top of my head that I’m glad doesn’t really exist, I’d say Patrick Bateman from American Psycho (the book and the movie). If you’ve read the book or seen the movie, you know exactly what I’m talking about. He’s one of the evilest characters I...

They say that history is written by the victors and boy, ain’t that the truth? And yes, a lot of history’s “bad guys” have that reputation because they were terrible people, but there are some men and women from the past who have gotten a raw deal in the history books. What “bad guys” from...

I think I’m turning into a grumpy old man, because every single time I open my Instagram app, I get super annoyed at the reels that pop up on my feed. Will there ever be an end to men and women dancing in their kitchens and acting out the lyrics of the songs they’re listening...

Have you ever had an experience where you knew something was really wrong and you turned out to be right? Maybe it’s about a person or about a potentially sketchy situation, but you know when your gut tells you that something isn’t right. Folks on AskReddit talked about when their gut feelings turned out to...

You know what drives me crazy about some movies? When they throw in a romantic storyline for no reason whatsoever. Yes, I know that many films need a love story and it’s an important part of the plot, but other movies just seem to throw a romantic subplot in there to take up time…or something...

One of my favorite TV shows growing up (and of all time) was The Wonder Years. I watched that show religiously every week and I was pretty bummed when it was announced it was going off the air. And that finale…? Don’t even get me started. It was so sad that just thinking about it right...

Do you consider yourself a skeptic about the paranormal and the supernatural? I sure do, because I’ve never seen anything with my own eyes that made me believe otherwise. But still, I have to admit that the topic really intrigues me and I find myself reading about it quite a bit…because you just never know…...

I’m a huge believer in second chances. It seems like these days, people get ostracized for changing their minds about any belief they have, so I’m very interested to see how people responded to this question. And there’s always time to turn it around, no matter what you’ve done in your past… If you used...

Whenever this topic comes up, I feel like a lot of older folks always point to MASH as having the best ending of all time. I wouldn’t know because I never watched it, but I guess it must’ve been pretty good if that many people refer to it during this kind of conversation. But now I...

I have a couple of friends who only eat simple, plain food. Salad with only lettuce. No veggies or dressing. Hamburgers with just the patty and bun. No condiments. Salsa? Don’t even think about it, my friend. And it drives me insane because I feel like they’re missing out on so much great food but...

I don’t like Ethiopian food. There, I said it. Are you happy now? I didn’t realize that this opinion would make people question my sanity and ask me what’s wrong with me… And, just to be clear, I’ve tried it at two different restaurants where I live and it’s just not for me. So can...

The possibilities might be endless for this question because we’re all so different. But that’s what makes the world go ’round, friends! Different strokes for different folks! Still…we all have things we just don’t ever want to hear about in conversation… What makes you want to say “shut up!” to people? AskReddit users shared their...

It can be hard these days to separate the scammers from the legit people and things out there. Maybe I do need those essential oils… Perhaps I should just this particular church… What if I’m missing out by not investing in that company…? People on AskReddit talked about what folks think are scams just because...
