I think that people doing the marriage thing every single day are the ones fighting the good fight. It’s not easy to stay in the trenches with the same person who leaves hair in the shower drain or the person who never, ever closes a cabinet, but somehow, a few of us are making it...

Marriage is not for the faint of heart, no matter how many of us are out here making it happen day in and day out. Staying with someone, loving them despite all of the life you deal with together, and just managing to not run away and change your name all takes effort – and...

I think we’ve all been on the end of a weird compliment during our lives. Something that comes out of someone’s mouth before they really think about how it’s going to sound, something a person thinks is a compliment when it really isn’t, etc etc. These 14 people have some space from the original event, which...

You know how Jerry Seinfeld (et al) knew that Kramer’s business ideas were terrible and bound to fail before he even stopped explaining how they would work? That happens in real life all the time, but luckily like Kramer, most people aren’t prepared to actually start a business for one reason or another. These 15...

If there’s a bit about the concept of privilege that can be hard to grasp, it’s that it doesn’t mean your life has been easy – just that your life hasn’t been made harder by the circumstances you were born into. If you’re still a bit unclear on what that might mean, here are 17...

Double standards are all over the place, and though we’ve spent decades pointing out the ones that aren’t fair to women, these days we’re realizing there are just as many that apply to men, too. Most of them are whatever, but we’ve all got those that just really get under our skin – and these...

It probably shouldn’t surprise you that people who spend time in the homes of strangers often see things they can’t forget. I figured it happens every once in a while – gross things, disturbing things, stuff that’s just weird – but honestly, after reading through these 15 stories, I realize I wasn’t giving people enough...

Every house in the world is probably hiding something behind closed doors. Whether people are rich or poor, we all have a few secrets – that said, some secrets are way bigger than others. These 15 people spent time working for the 1%, and the things they’ve seen…weird is only one word for it, to...

You know that moment when you unearth a bit of knowledge that just resonates with you? It blows your mind in all the best ways, and forevermore you will look for places to insert it into conversations around the globe? Well, that’s how these 17 people feel about these wild statistics – they’re hard to...

At every point in history, people could have found some very valid things to complain about – and even though our modern society clearly has a leg up when it comes to global markets and things like sanitation, there’s no doubt we’re still getting other things totally wrong. These 14 people have some pretty valid...

Entitlement can seem as if it’s at an all-time high in the world. Everyone is out for themselves and no one seems to consider how their actions affect those around them. If you’re looking for evidence to refute those feelings, you’re not looking in the right place – because these 10 people looking to employ...

If you ask me, one of the best things about social media is the brand accounts that go totally rogue (or do they?) in roasting individuals or starting crap with another brand. Honestly, the Wendy’s account gives me life. Here are 12 other brands that might be in the market for a new social media...
