These 15 people are getting brutally honest about what their warning labels would say if we were all forced to wear one, and it’s pretty hilarious. And, really, there’s no getting past the fact that life would be a lot easier if people’s quirks were easily seen up front… #15. *snort* “Slippery when wet.” #14....

It’s much easier to be cynical than not, especially when it comes to love and relationships in this “swipe right” world of dating. Perhaps that’s why, when one man tweeted his observations of the couple at the next table, the internet was suddenly filled with sliced onions. Cause they make you tear up, guys. #crying....
