There are way too many things in life that seem like they should be a breeze – easy to find, easier to execute, and nothing to worry about – but when you actually encounter them yourself, they turn out to be surprisingly hard. If you want some examples (so you can prepare yourself going forward),...

I’ll admit that it’s been a bit since I’ve attended a wedding, but as I recall, the bit about allowing people to object tot he union has started to go a bit out of fashion. I figure that’s because if someone coming to your wedding had a real reason to object, you’d hope they would...

It’s no secret that, in America at least, people are more likely than ever to exist on two polar opposite ends of the spectrum on just about every front. For every person who thinks taxing the ultra rich is the answer to our country’s money problems, there’s at least one who thinks it isn’t. If...

I don’t know about you, but I sure do miss traveling. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been on an airplane, and even with all of the hassles of air travel, I personally can’t wait to have another boarding pass in my hand. When you do, though, don’t you want to be a...

I think most of us are aware by now that even movies that claim to be based on true events take some serious liberties with the actual truth. I know I enjoy Googling afterward to see what things were actually real and which bits were given dramatic license. Sometimes, though, Hollywood retells an event exactly...

We hear a lot in life about people getting super unlucky – bad things happening that they couldn’t avoid, or that they didn’t catch in time – but what about the people who had the exact opposite experience? These 14 people found themselves in the position of being extremely lucky?  Of catching the thing in time,...

Listen, y’all, the human body is a lot of work. It’s a ton of upkeep, if you think about it, and like Jerry Seinfeld said, “if it was a car, you wouldn’t buy it – too much maintenance.” These 16 people totally agree, and they have some ideas on which bodily functions are actually the...

Do you “have a guy” for something or other in your life? I bet you do, even if you don’t realize it – a guy to deliver wood, or food, or maybe to come and check out your furnace and air conditioner a couple of times a year, right? These 14 people have guys for...

For better or worse, YouTube is part of our collective online lives, now. Even if you’re not someone who spends a lot of time there, you’ve probably popped on to watch a video someone sent, or maybe figure out how to fix something around the house you didn’t want to pay someone else to do,...

No matter how much we collectively hate them, double standards are a way of life. That doesn’t mean we should quit talking about them, though, or pointing them out or railing against why they’re so dumb and unfair. These 18 people aren’t afraid to do just that, and so here are the double standards that...

As someone who has had the opportunity to meet a fair number of celebrities – big and small – in real life, I can tell you it’s a bit of a crapshoot. They can surprise you by being nicer than you expected, more horrible than you expected, or honestly, anywhere on that sliding scale in...

Over the past several years, millions of people have ordered a DNA kit from one service or another, spit into a tube, stuck it in the mail, and then gotten results that parsed not only their countries and cultures of origin, but have helped them track down previously unknown family members, too. For some –...

Even though it seems counterintuitive, it’s totally human to put our human feelings and emotions onto objects that are incapable of, you know. Feeling anything at all. Have you ever felt sorry for something that wasn’t alive? Treated it as if it was alive, just in case? An entire generation who grew up with the Toy Story movies...

The holidays are full of cheer and fun times with family, with laughing together and eating good food, and a bunch of other stuff I honestly wish we could get together to do more often, and not just a handful of times throughout the year. These 14 families add an extra layer of fun by...

Society certainly has a specific idea about what they think is attractive, don’t you think? We’re told that one certain look is pretty or handsome, or something we should want, but the truth is that people are attractive to all kinds of different things and aspects of other people. These 10 people not only aren’t...
