There’s a lot to love about summer, sure, but I honestly think that most of us are more than ready for it to come to a close by Labor Day weekend. That said, summer often hangs around for another month or longer, and honestly? I’m kind of over it. So are these 13 people, so...

Honesty might always be the best policy, but we all know that can get complicated when we’re talking about relationships that are important to us – relationships we really don’t want to lose. We’re not all proud of our pasts, or sometimes we’re ok with them, but we expect that other people will judge the...

Family is a tricky topic. Those of us with excellent parents and siblings and extended family are the lucky ones, though we often don’t realize that sometimes, family aren’t people you are proud to claim. That’s the case here, with a sister who spent some time living with her sister and brother-in-law-, niece and nephew,...

One of the things that you never believe about getting older until you’re actually getting older is how it gets harder and harder to drive at night. You think you see things, you’re sure there are murderers waiting in the wings to “help” if you breakdown, and I don’t really know what else it is,...

Not actual trolls, though honestly, sometimes I think it would be better to deal with a dolt with a club hiding under a bridge that someone who is just a little too clever for their own good. It turns out that human beings haven’t changed all that much over the centuries, because there have always been...

Listen, y’all. Dating is hard. What’s more, relationships are even harder, so if there’s something that really bothers you on a first or second date, it’s probably going to be a dealbreaker eventually, anyway. Might as well call it off without wasting anyone’s time then – or at least, that’s probably what these 10 people...

Listen, game nights are sacred. There’s a social contract, I think, that if you’ve got a good enough group of friends to make game nights happen, on those nights you do your best to get along and not rock the boat, right? That may be so, but I imagine there are things that are hard...

This is one of those posts where just reading the headline seems like it’s enough information to make the call. Anyone who isn’t responsible for a beloved pet – or careful with the life of any animal, to be honest – isn’t the kind of person I’d want to spend my life with. Sometimes the...

I know that being passive-aggressive isn’t always a personality trait that gets, you know…celebrated. That said, if you’re someone who appreciates a good under-the-breath comment or the comeback that’s just too perfect not to share, there’s a good chance you also dabble in the passive-aggressive arts. If you want to elevate your game, look no...

Reading stories about the absolute worst examples of humanity that have walked among us is hard, for sure, but I think there’s a reason so many people are obsessed with true crime. It’s like by learning all we can about the depraved underbelly of the world, we can somehow keep ourselves and those we love...

As human beings, we’re hard-wired to sympathize with other people. We want to understand other people, we want to try to put ourselves in their shoes, maybe because we want to be helpful whenever possible. That said, it seems as if most of us have that one thing we just can’t wrap our heads around,...

Most of us haven’t really considered playing god, but what if you had the power to create anything you wanted to, right now. Would you use that power for selfish pleasure, like the best boops and pets, or would you come up with a living creature that would help make the world a better place?...

Wouldn’t it be kind of cool to have an invisible megaphone that reached everyone in the world at once? Kind of like you’re a god or another sort of mystical creature that could speak directly into people’s minds? What would you say, though? Whether they plan to whisper or shout, these 16 people have some...

If you’re a woman who has always dreamed of being a mother, you know there’s not much that consumes you more than trying to make that happen. That said, it can be all too easy to forget that your journey isn’t nearly as important to everyone else as it is to you, and also that...

We all want to be able to treat our significant others to gifts and good times when they deserve to celebrate, but I think we also expect them to continue to be respectful and you know…loving at the same time. This guy ran into trouble when he offered to take his girlfriend out to celebrate...
