There’s nothing quite like the sense of betrayal when you think you know a person but find out – usually in a terrible way – that they’re not at all who you thought. When you find out that not only are they not so good, but are actually bad, it can feel like a double whammy...

I assume that anyone who has worked as a therapist for awhile is pretty hard to shock – people are people, and honestly, I think we have more in common than most of us realize. These 15 therapists would probably agree – which is why these sessions in which they needed a moment to get...

The internet is amazing and great for so many reasons, but also, it can be a really dangerous place for those who aren’t aware they need to handle it carefully – which of course includes kids, who are still learning the ins and outs of how terrible people can be. These 15 adults will never...

I feel like, in most cases, it’s only the patients who are able to be embarrassed by the reasons they are forced to go see a doctor. By the time most (if not all) doctors make it out of medical school and their residencies, they must have already about seen and heard it all. Knowing...

The simple answer to this question is obviously humanity itself, but that’s a little broad, don’t you think? These 16 people have some interesting and more detailed ideas on what exactly might be the thing to take us down. 16. Sounds personal. George from the cleaning department. He’s just about had enough of your s*%t...

I think most of us are well aware that you can never really know another person, and so that obviously goes for celebrities and other famous folks as well. That said, we sometimes get attached to the idea that certain people are good and nice, and finding out otherwise can be a bit hard to...

For many of us, it’s far easier to see the faults in other people than the ones in ourselves, but if we stand and stare at the mirror for long enough, I promise we can all find at least a few. These 17 people are brave enough to do just that, and are sharing with...

No matter how old we get or how brave we think we are, there are always things that scare us. In fact, the older I get and the more invested I get in the world, there might even be more things that terrify me. If you’re curious what scares the pants off of other people, too,...

I’m going to need y’all to buckle up for this one, because it is one wild ride that comes – eventually – to a pretty satisfying conclusion (for those of us just reading, at any rate). OP begins by saying that he and his girlfriend have recently moved in together and generally get along well,...

I think most of us figure that once you’ve agreed to spend your life with another person, you’re invested enough in their future and well-being that you’d do whatever you could to you know. Not send them to jail. This OP found herself in a sticky situation over her car, though, and is wondering if...

Parenting is a rough gig, and that’s before you take into consideration how your relationship – good, bad, or ugly – with your spouse comes into the mix. This OP’s mother cheated on his father years ago, causing the father to wonder whether any or all of their three children were actually his…and things just...

We all love our pets. Honestly, they’re one of the best parts of our days, with their sweet faces and silly antics and cold noses, right? These 11 people definitely share my opinion, because they took to Twitter to share the sweetest, cutest, and funniest moments they had with their furbabies recently – and now...

Anyone who is married or has been married knows for sure that, no matter the rewarding moments, the entire experience isn’t the easiest much of the time. Humor is one of the best ways to handle the down days (or weeks or months), and the couples who laugh together are the ones who probably stay...

I think the past couple of years have made pretty much everyone aware that finding a good and generous landlord out in the wild is about as hard as finding a unicorn. That said, there’s a big difference between not being the best and being the absolute worst – and these 15 landlords might be...

No one is going to tell you that relationships are easy, but I swear if you read enough posts on reddit/am i the a$$hole, you’ll start to realize that some people also make them harder than they have to be. This OP is a prime example, because she wants her boyfriend to decline to be...
