I think that most of us have a story that we love to bust out with new friends, acquaintances, coworkers, and basically anyone who hasn’t heard it before – but sometimes there’s no way to bring it up without the right lead in, you know? So, Reddit is giving people a chance to tell the...

It’s tough having a great story that just doesn’t come up that much in conversation. We love to tell it, people love to hear it, but you often can’t just bring things up out of the blue, you know? I mean, I know the expression “apropos of nothing” exists, but I feel like it might...

Though there’s no way to say for sure what smallish contributions to the world of technology today will end up having a huge impact on the future, it can be fun to muse on the topic, don’t you think? These 16 people definitely agree, and I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty into this whole topic now....

As an author, I can tell you for sure that it’s hard to write a story, and even harder to write a good story. Perhaps the hardest thing of all is to write a short story, because finding your punch in just a few words can be more than a small challenge. These 14 people have...

Most of the time, movies do their best to be accurate. Sometimes it’s not possible, or changing a certain detail can make for a better story, or maybe one that’s easier to follow, more palatable, etc. Pixar is famous for their attention to detail, but if you think you know what that means, you might...

One of the big reasons I know I could never edit films is that I suck at details. The smaller something is, the more tedious, the more it escapes my attention. That’s definitely not the case for these 11 Pixar animators, though, because they took the time to make sure these details were 100% accurate,...

Time is a funny thing. It can seem like it’s passing by so, so slow…only to have you wake up one day and find that literal years have flown past. It can see as if your kids were just born yesterday when they’re actually ready to start school, or you might swear you just graduated...

You’ve surely heard that actions speak louder than words, and when it comes to how intelligent a person is, the saying sometimes applies. I say sometimes, because for some reason the stereotype exists of a quiet person being stupid, when most of the time I think it’s probably the opposite. That said, there are plenty of...

There is such a focus these days on the bad things, the bad people, the big, scary future that only some of us will ever get to see. I think that’s why so many of us go out of our way to find the good news, and the stories about people who are doing good...

It can seem like the world is full of callous, uncaring, uneducated and selfish people more often than not – that’s what we see on the news, and often what we witness in our own online lives, too. I think it’s important for us to seek out the opposite sort of stories, too – the...

I remember back in middle school and high school, my mother lecturing me on how I dressed and making sure that I fixed my hair and did my makeup before going to anything she deemed worthy of appearances. Now, I’m a Xennial, so the majority of my youth was spent in either pajamas or flannel,...

Sometimes the questions on AskReddit are super general, and honestly anyone can answer them if they have the interest, time, and inclination. Others are specific, and asked of groups of people like doctors, maids, immigrants, etc. Then there are questions like this one, that ask people a specific question and for the reason behind their...

It’s no secret that in any sort of public-facing job, there are plenty of people who make the days long (and sometimes miserable). Some of them are demanding, some are rude and mean, and far too many are completely entitled and expect way too much from whatever experience they’ve paid for. Staff is trained and...

Food service is tricky business. I’m happy to say that we’ve moved beyond the flat, “customer is always right” mindset, because sometimes, the customer is the opposite of right and everyone should know it. This is especially true when the customer is being an entitled jerk and making everyone’s night miserable, if you ask me,...

This entire story is such a cluster I cannot believe the people involved have the brain power to hold down a job at all, nevermind find themselves in senior management positions. It begins innocently enough, with an older woman buying some home gym equipment to keep up with her fitness during the pandemic. She purchased...
