I love listening to boasters/braggers/liars. It doesn’t annoy me at all, I just think it’s hilarious. It’s actually one of my favorite pastimes. Just keep egging ’em on, and you’ll be regaled with incredible tales all night long (especially when there’s drinking involved). These folks from AskReddit share the most absurd things they ever heard people...

I still remember my finest moment in high school. A teacher who was annoyed with me said, “If I hear another peep out of you, you’re gonna be in trouble.” My response? “Peep peep.” The classroom erupted in laughter. I was a LEGEND (for 5 seconds). It’s been downhill ever since. Take a look at...

Let’s cut the shit: Buffets are disgusting. I’m not saying I don’t enjoy them, but they are pretty gross. Certain types of foods seem to get about 1,000% more revolting when offered buffet-style (Chinese, pizza, etc.). Sometimes, what’s even more disgusting than the food itself is the folks who descend on these buffets to do...

Being a garbageman has always been one of my dream jobs. I’m not lying – I’ve always dreamed about hanging off the back of a truck and digging through the stuff that people are getting rid of. Not sure what that says about me… Anyway, take a look at these stories from AskReddit users about the weirdest...

Do you know someone who made one these pacts with a friend? The whole “if we’re both not married by the time we’re 30 (or 40), we’ll marry each other?” I personally don’t know anyone who has agreed to such a deal, but apparently it’s not as uncommon as I had imagined.

Going out to dinner with a cheapskate is the worst. If you’re not gonna tip the server, just stay home and eat a Hungry-Man Salisbury Steak TV dinner (my TVD of choice). Take a look at these AskReddit stories about extremely cheap people going to great lengths to save a buck and try to think...

Ahhhh, the class clown. The guy or gal who has an unspoken duty in school to make the rest of us laugh on a daily basis to help us forget how much we hate school. These stories from AskReddit users will make you laugh and fondly remember your own class clown. Or perhaps it was...

Customer service jobs are rough. Even when the customers are a total nightmare, you’re supposed to grin and bear it…because the customer is always right. Yeah, right.

I have never attempted to solicit money from the masses online, so I’m not really sure how it works.
