Listen, cheating is dirty business, y’all. There are plenty of reasons people become unhappy in committed relationships and sure, folks make mistakes, but ongoing affairs have always just smacked of arrogance or cowardice to me. Or both. This man – a pastor who always answered his phone – was not cheating on his wife when...

Most companies that have public-facing or sanitary components also have rules and expectations regarding personal grooming habits. When you sign up to work there, you sign up for pressing your clothes or keeping your hair a certain length et al. McDonald’s, apparently, likes you to have a neat face. This kid showed up to work...

There has been more than one study come out that proves many, if not the majority, of people find jobs because of who they know and not what – not necessarily big, important jobs, either, but managers just seem to trust their employees recommendations over hiring a stranger. This guy was happy with his job,...

I have to say, there are plenty of headlines I never expected to write since I started writing articles for you lovely people, and this is definitely one of them. I mean…Noah’s Ark? On the moon? Let’s dig in here and get started on answering the many, many questions that you’ve probably already got brewing,...

I have a lot of respect for people who can think outside the box. Sometimes we have to get creative in order to solve problems, but I don’t necessarily think that safety protocols should be the thing to go out the window in the name of progress. These 12 people clearly don’t feel the same way,...

Most of us are at least a little bit careful when it comes to our lives. We enjoy being alive, after all. There are things we want to do and people we enjoy seeing, and so we try to make good enough decisions that we’ll be able to stick around for at least a little...

There’s definitely a range when it comes to what people consider safe, and what they consider to be acceptable risks. Some folks are super conservative and take extra precautions all the time, while other people are more willing to take chances if it gets the job done – and done quicker – than dotting all...

It’s not really something to joke about, how different politicians and people from different states keep talking about seceding from the United States. That said, it can be interesting to consider what states, if any, could really make a go of it as a country. There are serious considerations, like access to water and trade,...

I love these kinds of “what-if” questions – the ones that have no actual consequences or right or wrong answers, but can be fun to think about and answer. Also, the answers can tell you a lot about a person, I think. If you’re curious how other people responded, here are 16 replies to the...

You probably realize that people in other parts of the world get way more time off every year than people who live in the United States – and if you didn’t, I’m sorry. That’s something you can never un-know now. Basically, in other places employees are allowed to turn off their email or their phone...

If you haven’t realized that Americans are one of the only cultures in the world that revel in a work culture that’s 24/7/365, you haven’t been paying attention. Those in the States are expected to be available literally all the time, even on their vacations, which most of them don’t actually take anyway. Things are...

Everything that happened in 2020 has changed a lot of people’s perspectives on work. We were given options that we were previously informed didn’t exist – namely the ability to work exclusively from home – and more than a few of us would like to know why those options are going to extend past the...

When you’re a little kid, your parents probably taught you to share. It was sometimes a hard thing to do but it’s a good lesson to learn – greed isn’t a skill one needs to learn, and it’s a trait that will very rarely earn anyone a friend. Some people choose not to learn that...

There’s no way to talk about gun violence and policing in America without starting an argument – or, at the very least, making a table full of people uncomfortable. That said, I think we’ve all encountered one of those “bad apples” in our day, and hopefully lived to tell the tale. When it comes to...

Back in February and March of 2020, no one could have guessed what was in store for us all. We were hearing whisperings of a pandemic, we were made aware it had hit our shores, and within a few short weeks, the majority of America had gone into some kind of lockdown. That’s what was...
