Anyone who loves true crime has learned by now that the best thing to say to the police if you’re ever brought in for questioning is absolutely nothing – at least not without an attorney present. There are rules regarding interrogation that most people don’t realize exist, and if you’re curious whether or not the...

No one wants to think about their car being stolen. That said, it happens on a pretty regular basis, so there’s a good chance that one day, it might happen to you. If you’re looking for ways to be more prepared, or maybe even prevent that awful moment in your life, police have a strange...

Everyone has their lines in the sand when it comes to dating, and honestly, the same goes when it comes to family. When it comes to mixing the two? Well, that can be pretty darn complicated, don’t you think? These 10 people definitely do, and their opinions on the matter are all over the board....

If you’re a person of a certain age, there’s a good chance some stuff went down during the early days of the internet that you still can’t explain. Some of them are personal mysteries and others live in our collective past, but either way, we’d all still really like answers to these 16 outstanding questions....

I enjoy a jaunt through the McDonald’s drive thru as much as the next person. Every time I have been pregnant, the Spicy McChicken is where it’s at, y’all, and as a busy mom, sometimes a Happy Meal just hits the spot. For everyone. That said, I don’t think I could manage to eat over...

Marriage isn’t for everyone, and whether or not a couple is officially wed really isn’t anyone’s business but theirs. That said, anyone who has been in a long term relationship without discussing marriage knows that everyone in your lives thinks it’s their business. If you’re curious why people might choose to stay together but shun the...

Being a woman has never been an easy gig. Not only that, but no matter how many great female role models you have in your life, there’s a learning curve – and some lessons you just have to learn the hard way. One of those is that some men are determined to misinterpret kindness or...

Some of us (ahem) have been on the internet for a long, long time – like, since before some of you were born. It was the wild west back then, without rules or really even any knowledge of what exactly we were diving into. It was exciting, sure, but it was also dangerous and mysterious....

Having a life-threatening, debilitating illness like cancer changes people’s lives. Not only that, it always impacts the lives of their loved ones, as well. This woman has had a stepsister since she was a toddler, and when the stepsister got cancer in her teens the entire family – including OP – turned their lives upside-down...

I always think it’s interesting what people think is stealing and what folks think they’re entitled to – even when it belongs to someone else. Plants are one of those things that folks don’t seem to mind “clipping” here and there, figuring it will just grow back. Right? Well, sometimes that’s true, but when a...

Parenting teenagers is not for the faint of heart. Most people who are in the midst of it would probably tell you that humor is one of the things that gets them through. That said, just because you’re the adult and they’re kids doesn’t mean you’re allowed to make endless jokes at their expense, does...

There are more than a few posts on the subreddit Am I The A$$hole that feature the struggles of blended families. It’s tough when kids and parents are trying to make things work, combine their parenting styles, and make sure everyone is respected and happy to boot. OP is finding out that accomplishing this is...

At this point it’s hard to refute the fact that conventionally attractive people have a leg up. There are multiple studies and hundreds of colloquial accounts of how they’re treated differently by society almost across the board. If you want to hear more about what it’s like to go through life as a woman who isn’t...

I would venture a guess that most people who get married have known each other for quite a while. We like to make sure that we really feel comfortable with another human being before we tangle up our lives, right? Not so for some people, though, and who’s to say which marriages work out in...

By the time most of us make it to adulthood we’ve dismissed the idea of “love at first sight.” We all agree that attraction can and does happen every single day, but love? That’s a bit trickier. These 11 people might argue otherwise, though, since they claim to have found “the one” on a very first...
