There are social rules and constructs and expectations, but I think most of us realize there are always times those things can be broken – for the right reason. Getting up in the middle of meal isn’t polite, sure, but if the circumstances warrant it, don’t you think it could be better than the alternative?...

I’ve been a waitress, and let me tell you, it’s not as easy as it looks. It takes time and the right sort of personality to really do it well, and even when you’re really, really good at your job, it doesn’t always translate into making more money. Which is to say, waitresses are already...

I know, I know – this title is big billing. That said, I like to think I know a thing or two about movies, and if what you’re looking for is something that drops your jaw in surprise, today we’ve got your back. We’re not talking the little twists, either, or the ones that are...

There are plenty of movies out there that plod along, giving us exactly what we expect and exactly what we’re up for that day, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Other times, though, we’re looking for a film that will not only engage and challenge but surprise (or even shock!) us but it can be...

When it comes to movies, it takes a bunch of elements coming together really well to make something great instead of good – and it’s the rare film indeed that remains imprinted on our memories long after our first viewing. If you’re someone who likes great twists, you know those are rarer than you’d like...

Let’s just say up front that there are plenty of not-smart (or just naive) people in absolutely every culture around the world. Americans tend to bear the brunt of the jokes online because we’re easy targets….but also because people like these 17 run their mouths online at every opportunity! When you scroll through these jaw-dropping...

When you’re watching a good television show or a movie, the kind that really immerses you in its setting and makes you fall in love with its characters, you really want to hang out with them in their world. And, if you’re someone who enjoys a good beverage with friends and family now and again,...

There’s nothing quite like the panic that can seize a person when they realize an item they’ve loved unconditionally and well for many years is beginning to show signs of ending its life. It’s wearing out, wearing thin, and soon it will be time to replace it – but how? With what? How will we...

A good boss is honestly worth their weight in gold, and sometimes it seems like they’re as rare as a unicorn. The majority of the time we’re happy enough with a middling, mediocre boss – someone who doesn’t cause us any indigestion or make our lives any harder. Then, there are those truly terrible bosses....

It can be super funny to hear what people from other countries know or assume they know about America, or each of her States. As long as everything is in good fun, as it usually is between Brits and Americans, it can also be interesting (and hilariously informative). This guy has been through all 50...

Listen, for most of the Western world, I would say we’re not really taught the geography or details about what happens outside our own borders – and when it comes to the U.S., there are so many states, we really can’t even be bothered to learn about the ones that aren’t particularly interesting or nice...

It’s no secret that the Brits and the Americans have a special relationship. We’re like…exes who still have to co-parent, or children who have moved away from their parents and don’t visit often enough for the parents to like. Or something. Anyway, we like to razz each other, and this Brit’s ideas on what each...

I’m sharing these tweets because they’re hilarious, not because I am judging this man whatsoever. I, an American, could definitely not name any county of England, Scotland, or Ireland without Google (and I doubt I could even find Wales on a map). Honestly, I could probably do most of the countries of Western Europe, but...

Some plot twists are visible from a mile away, though if they’re executed well, they can still be fun to watch. Others are clunky and lame, leaving audiences rolling their eyes all the way through the end. We’re not talking about either of those today, though – we’re talking about the good ones. Nay, the great...

There are movies out there for literally every single taste, but I know many – if not all – moviegoers appreciate at least a little bit of a surprise along the way. Except maybe romance enthusiasts. They like to be delivered exactly what they came for and little else, which is fine! If you do...
