We all have different experiences in life. Different backgrounds, different ways of looking at things, and sure, different ways to determine what’s a win and what’s a loss. If you’re curious how your idea of victory stacks up to other people’s, these 26 folks are describing what victory tastes like to them. 26. What a...

We spend a lot of time on Reddit asking questions, right? People come up with some great ones that keep us on our toes and our brains sharp, and we all have our favorite ones that we keep for parties and getting to know new people. Have you ever spent time thinking about your favorite...

I think that most of us are pretty attached to all five of our senses, even if we don’t spend a lot of time considering just how much and why on a daily basis. We move through the world expecting our body to react a certain way, and I think it would take quite a...

If you’re someone who revels in the power of wordplay, you’ve probably figured out by now that there are some people in this world who excel at what we sometimes like to call “backhanded compliments” – meaning they sound like a compliment, but if you look again, they’re actually an insult. If you’re looking to...

It’s kind of crazy how long ago the planets were named and how no one has really challenged those names, don’t you think? I mean, the world has changed quite a bit since the 18th century, and yet here we are, all referencing Roman gods and goddesses on a daily basis like it’s totally natural....

One of the few universal truths in this world is that everyone grieves their loved ones differently. Some people go quiet, others scream and punch pillows, and there is literally every stop in between those two on a scale. Some people, apparently, create interpretive dances…but does that mean they’re allowed to perform them at the...

Normally any Am I the A$$hole posts that is written by an angry bride is sure to set my eyes rolling, but although this one definitely accomplished that, for once I think the bride may have a point. This OP (original poster) begins by outlining a lifelong friendship with a woman who has, in her...

With the world growing and changing the way it is today, especially in a post-MeToo era, good parents are doing their best to be more thoughtful about how they raise their daughters, sons, and non-binary kids with a sense of individuality and security. This OP (original poster) is the father of three girls, and only...

There’s so much on our plates on a daily basis and we have so many things to consider when buying things like clothes and food – these days, mostly whether or not we can afford it – that it can seem like too much to worry about where those things come from on top of...

If you’re someone who is out there looking for a serious and/or long lasting relationship, there’s a good chance you want to be on the lookout for red flags when it comes to maturity. Take if from me – way too many people have learned how to hide it until you’ve gotten in way deeper...

Sadly, I think we all have a jerk or two in our lives that we can’t shake for one reason or another – and if even you’re lucky enough to avoid that scenario, there’s no way you’ve avoided jerks entirely for the whole of your life. Which means you’ve listened to more than a few...

If you’re as cynical as I am, then you probably just assume that there are plenty of ways to make money if one has no qualms about how they go about it, right? You might not realize how many ideas people have, though, or how many of them have even (sometimes surprisingly) worked in the...

Child-free weddings are getting more and more popular these days, because the bride and groom are the ones who get to decide who attends their special day, and sometimes people would rather not deal with loud and/or misbehaving children at what’s typically a pretty adult party. I think that the majority of parents understand those...

Anyone who is a regular reader of the subreddit AITA knows that people get especially crazy whenever there’s a wedding involved. People’s expectations get pretty wild, to be honest, and as a guest it can be hard to know exactly what your role and responsibility is in the whole thing. This woman was on top...

If you ask me, the best AITA (Am I the A$$hole) posts out there are the ones that take twists and turns – you think you’re going to be on one person’s side but as things go on you continue to flip-flop back and forth. This is one of those for me, and even though...
