Once a person does a job for a certain length of time, I would venture a guess that nothing really surprises them anymore – and if you work with the public, you also learn that nothing good comes from judging strangers 99% of the time. That said, sometimes you just can’t help it – and...

As something of a history buff myself, I can promise you that true life is stranger – and often more intriguing and entertaining – than fiction. There’s a reason that some of our favorite films of all time are based on true events, and it’s that you can never come up with crazier events than...

Cutting off or going no-contact with a close family member is one of the toughest decisions a person will ever have to make – and when that family member is a parent, the choice can feel darn near impossible. Our mothers have a hold over us that’s stronger than almost anyone else’s, but as this...

I feel like absolutely everyone could answer this question, because there are too many creepy pockets on the internet to count – or probably ever even find. That said, most of these replies go above and beyond your everyday “ick” factor, so if you’re going to keep scrolling, consider this your fair warning to gird...

I think we all know that there are more creepy places on the internet than we could ever find on our own – and plenty that we’d be sorry if we accidentally did. These 15 people found themselves smacked in the face with things they honestly wish they could unsee or un-read, and now –...

Sometimes when people preface a bit of information with the phrase “fun fact” they actually follow up with a fact that is fun. Other times though – maybe even more often – the fact is not fun, not relevant, and generally off-putting for one reason or another. These 16 facts aren’t fun and fall into...

We’re sort of experts on facts around here, and what’s so fun about them is that there are just so many categories to choose from – they’re seemingly endless, right? If I had to choose a personal favorite type of fact, though, it would be the ones that fall into the “useless but fascinating” category....

Every job in the world has its upsides and downsides. There are good and bad things about every career and line of work, and depending on your personality, the ability to laugh at others could fall into either category. If you’ve ever spent all day ringing up people’s purchases, though, you know there are some...

We all try to do our best to follow rules and regulations that are in place to help keep people safe. That said, accidents happen, and sometimes the results can be really, really bad – haunting, some might say. These 16 people have some stories to tell, but make sure you’re ready – because after...

Most of you are probably thinking that, based on my headline, you know where you’re going to fall on this particular case. I mean, of course everyone should be able to refuse being observed by additional people during a procedure, even if they are medical students, right? Well, hold off your judgment just a bit...

I feel like we need to start this post out with the statement that there is nothing wrong with traditional roles in a relationship…if both parties agree and are happy with the arrangement. In this couple’s case, OP (the wife) says she would be ok with that arrangement, but her spouse doesn’t make enough money to...

Most of us realize that there are some unspoken rules when it comes to attending or being part of a wedding. Some of those rules revolve around clothing (mostly for other women), like never choosing to wear white or picking an outfit that would potentially upstage the bride. In this case, though, OP is the...

If you’re a parent reading this headline, you might think that the answer is never – and honestly, I think I secretly agree with you. Even when dealing with family or super close friends, bringing up each other’s kids can be a touchy subject. This woman thought she was justified in telling her cousin that...

We all know by now – or we should know by now – that people aren’t always themselves (or on their best behavior) when it comes to weddings. I don’t know what it is about brides and grooms and the like, but Reddit has taught us all that things often get out of hand. For...

I would love to report that everyone in the world has an amazing family who deserves nothing but the highest praise, but as most of us sadly realize, that’s just not reality. Sometimes people are awful, even if they’re family, and when they cross a line we need to call them out – but are...
