If there’s one thing I’ve learned for sure in this life, it’s that people are an absolute trip. Once you realize and accept this, behaviors that make you want to yell or cringe become just one more thing you ultimately expected. That said, there are some things people brag about that the rest of us...

Even though it definitely doesn’t feel like it some days, the truth is that human beings are far more alike than we are different. We have similar experiences, both physical and emotional, and also, there are some things that absolutely none of us want to talk about. These 15 people are talking about it, though, so...

One of the coolest things about human beings is how we have slightly different perspectives on the world. That can be great when you’re looking to expand your horizons or try to understand another way of thinking. It can be pretty cringe, though, when someone flexes about something you consider to be downright despicable –...

It’s no secret that people’s opinions on things change as the years go by. You know better you do better, and science is always evolving and forcing us to (eventually) change our behaviors. Now, people today might be into arguing whether or not scientists actually know what they’re talking about, but I have to believe...

We talk a lot about how women would like to be treated and perceived differently in and by society, and rightfully so – it’s literally been the whole of human history that women’s choices, preferences, and needs have been largely ignored. Men, though, are still being judged for things that they really shouldn’t be, and...

Lying might be one of those things that everyone does, but when you’re in a position of power and leadership, it’s always something that should make you think twice. Sadly, the fact that being in a position of power or leadership means you’re less likely to be caught encourages the opposite, and history is full...

Look, I suspect that most of us believe we’re doing a good job/our best job at maintaining these bodies of ours. They take a lot of attention and work, though, and sometimes a thing doesn’t occur to you until someone else brings it up, right? If you want to make sure you’re cleaning yourself as...

The decision whether or not to have children – and when to be done having children – is an intensely personal one. For most of us, we’ll make it with consideration of our own desires as well as those of any romantic partners and no one else. What’s it like actually pulling the trigger, though?...

Pregnancy is an exciting time, and that’s usually extra true when it’s the first one for a couple. It’s also a daunting time, and can be a super stressful time, and it’s awesome when you have a partner by your side for support. OP in this case is the brother of the pregnant woman, and...

I want to believe that most people who become parents would never dream of handing over their teenager to someone else, but the reality of the foster care system proves me wrong. It’s still hard to imagine, though the 15yo in this case is also experiencing it firsthand. His parents divorced when he was 3,...

Makeup might not seem like the most important thing in the world, but for many women, looking their best when they step out the front door goes a long way toward happiness, fulfillment, and confidence. For women who wear glasses, finding eye makeup that doesn’t completely disappear behind their frames has always been tricky at...

There are all kinds of reasons that people buy things, and actually needing them is nowhere near the top of the list. Most of us have what we need to survive a year or longer (except perhaps food), but we’ve been conditioned to think we “need” to replace things, grab new things, keep up with...

When it comes to how expensive things are right now, there is no shortage of things to complain about – and absolutely nothing is a frivolous complaint, either. The rental market is no exception, and although you probably realize that it would follow the trends in theory, this post brings how the reality of just...

We take for granted these days that so much of our lives are online that sometimes we don’t stop to think about whether or not we want all of our personal information to be so readily available. You’ve probably seen those little Google cars tootling around, mapping your streets and your neighborhood, but did you realize...

Every single human being might be a unique individual, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a fair amount of shared experiences. We’re all more alike than we are different, after all. These 16 people think they’ve come up with things that happen to everyone (or at least, they hope they happen to everyone) even...
