When we take a job, I think most of us are pretty much aware of the expectations of the position that we’ve accepted. There are always things that come up along the way, of course, but most of the time we’re ok with covering a few more bases, though. What if one of those bases...

I was talking with a friend the other day about how literally every girl could tell you the story of the middle or high school teacher everyone knew was a creeper. And sure, the other teachers probably knew, too, but that being creepy wasn’t a crime. Which got me thinking, what else that’s creepy isn’t a...

It can be super disappointing when you hear about something like a movie or a new product over and over again, only to buy the thing and realize it’s a total piece of crap. I imagine it’s also disappointing for the people who created said thing, though maybe they knew from the beginning it was...

There’s nothing better in the world than a dog, cat, or other pet who has been at a shelter for way too long finding a new, loving home. We all hate the stories of how animals are abused or abandoned, or otherwise find themselves in caged purgatory through no fault of their own. Well, actually,...

If you ask me, having a file of things on your desktop that are sure to make you laugh, to brighten your day, is a no-brainer. We all have days when what we need more than anything is to crack a smile, right? If you’re looking for files to add to your need-laughs folder, may...

If you’re like me, you kind of start rolling your eyes anytime someone says the word “viral.” I mean, you can pretty much claim anything is “viral,” because it’s not like there’s any real kind of litmus test. That said, you can pretty much tell when something is hilarious and/or hitting home with people when...

Let me just say this: if you never stopped to think about the fact that everyone doesn’t have these 14 things, then that means you’re privileged in one way or another. I know that word gets people’s hackles up, but being privileged because you had loving parents doesn’t mean your family didn’t have struggles or...

Job hunting can be tough in the best of times, but when there are so many people out there ready and willing to take advantage of folks who need steady income, it be downright gross and discouraging. These 10 potential employers are looking to get something for nothing, and they don’t care who they hurt...

If you’ve seen a list like this before then you probably already know exactly the cuteness that we’re in for today – which is probably why you’re here, to be honest. Because kids should be in charge of naming everything, and I will be taking no arguments on the topic. Here are 15 submissions that...

Just because a question sounds simple, or doesn’t have a ton of words involved, that doesn’t mean it’s easy to answer – in fact, I would submit that some of the hardest, most existential questions in the world are fairly simple. In theory. These 14 people are submitting their “simple” questions, many of which don’t...

One of the biggest questions that human beings grapple with in their lifetime is what we think happens after we die. Is there something else? Do we come back as someone or something else? Do we cease to exist, all awareness of the world gone? If you’re still entertaining ideas, these 18 people are weighing...

One of the only things that’s true of absolutely every human being on earth is that none of us knows what happens after we die. We might think we know, or believe we know, or even hope we know, but the fact of the matter is, none of us know until after we die – and then we’re...

It should come as no surprise to anyone that there are jobs in this world that are, very soon, no longer going to relevant. Our society is changing so rapidly, and technology is evolving at break-neck speed, and it just makes sense that more and more professions are just no longer going to be needed....

In the whole history of the world, my guess is that there are way too many people who have gotten away with murder or some other terrible crime that should have landed them in jail. It can certainly be irritating (at best), though, when the entire world seems to realize that wrongs have been done...

One of the side-effects of knowing someone very, very well – the kind of knowing that comes from living with another person for some time – is that you probably know how to bug them as much as you know how to make them happy. And when the mood strikes most of us just right,...
