If there’s one thing that’s true about relationships these days – all kinds, not just romantic – it’s that we all want to make the right call the first time around. We don’t have time to waste on the wrong sort of people, on friends who are going to turn out to be nothing of...

It might not come as a surprise, but literally every single person on this planet has a unique makeup. It doesn’t make one type of person better than the next or the one after that, but I do think that people who are naturally shy kind of get a bad rap. It’s like we think...

It takes all types of people to make the world go ’round, and if you’ve never been one that has had to deal with shyness or social anxiety, count yourself lucky. Not only that, though, but you should also try to understand what it’s like to deal with those things so that you can better help...

It’s no secret that surviving life in prison requires a person to adapt – at least, you have to somewhat if you’re going to survive and emerge as some semblance of the person you were when you went in. On the flip side, when you’re set to get out of prison, I imagine it could be...

When someone gets sent to prison, I imagine they’re forced to adjust fairly quickly to life on the inside. There are ways of doing things that will help keep you safe and keep you out of trouble with the guards, and basically just make your day to day life as easy as possible. Those habits...

Waiting tables was honestly one of my favorite jobs ever – you worked with fun people, the job was fast-paced so it was hard to get bored, the hours were nice (if you’re a certain age) and the money wasn’t bad either. It wasn’t all good, though, and aside from cleaning stinky stuff in the...

Dating is a minefield that requires a bunch of snap decisions to navigate with any satisfaction. We have to say yes or no to people and dates without having a ton of information, many times just based on a gut feeling. Maybe some of the reasons we use to blow people off seem surface level, but...

If you’ve done any cooking, then you’ve probably noticed that certain foods you prep…linger. The smell of onion and garlic, for example, can be scented days after you’ve made the meal, after you’ve washed your hands multiple times and even showered – but why? This is the perfect query for Reddit’s No Stupid Question forum,...

Reddit’s Unpopular Opinion thread is the place to be for people who think they know a better way to do things, or a way things should be done – that said, oftentimes it ends up being more of a popular opinion than people thought. Validation! This guy basically wrote a dissertation about why teenagers shouldn’t...

Most jobs that involve other human beings end up being factories for good stories – and by good, I mean interesting, not really good. You understand. People who work in hotels see all sorts of clients, day and night, like a revolving door. As you’ll see by these 18 memories, there’s really no judging a...

There are no perfect jobs in this world, and I’ve gotta think that any job where you deal with a cross-section of humanity is definitely going to have its pitfalls. Most of us stay in hotels from time to time, and while we probably realize they’re not necessarily the cleanest, we also don’t really know what...

There’s no shortage of conspiracy theories in the world, and especially in the United States. We like to imagine they’re so outlandish, so implausible, that the people who believe them are truly bonkers, and most of the time that’s true. Most of the time. But not all of the time, as it turns out. Below are...

As a child of the eighties, I can tell you that I do, in fact, remember growing up during a time when, if you wanted to talk to someone, you had to actually call the on the phone. At their house. Where their parents might answer. I know. The horror. While there are many things...

I’m not sure it’s possible for a planet to be embarrassed, but if it were, Uranus should definitely be ashamed of the gas bubbles that are emerging from its bowels. Do farts stink in space? There’s a question for NASA the next time I’ve got them on the line. In all seriousness, this discovery is...

The old gags really are the best – I mean, there’s a reason something becomes a classic, wouldn’t you say? The only thing better than figuring out that you’ve been gotten by the dihydrogen monoxide gag, and are therefore in on the job now, is being able to dupe someone still unsuspecting of what’s coming....
