Sometimes it can seem like people from high school only exist on social media for a couple of reasons. One of them can be to genuinely reconnect with old friends, but more common are the ones who want to remind you why you don’t want to connect with old friends – and the ones who...

Anyone who has ever lived in a small town knows that the charm of everyone knowing everyone else wears off pretty quickly – because that also means that everyone else knows your business (and has opinions on it, too). From the outside, though, the small-town kerfuffles can be pretty funny to hear about – and...

I think most of us have questions now and again about cultures other than our own, right? It’s only natural, when we know they do things differently and we want to understand why – maybe to laugh, but maybe also a little bit because we’re wondering if we should switch things up, too. Here are...

Weddings tend to bring out the drama in our lives, and in the people who claim to love and support us as well. There’s the money, the fact that we’re entering a big change in our lives, and I don’t know what else, but it’s nuts. I can’t imagine going through all of that and...

Everyone experiences a weird coincidence here and there, if you live long enough they’ll always keep coming. Some are small and easily explained while others feel like they could never happen again in a million years. These 16 people have some doozies to share, and if you don’t already, these just might have you believing...

There are two types of people in this world – people who throw caution to the wind and buy what they want and need when they want and need it, and people who hem and haw over every purchase and every last penny, wondering whether or not it’s going to be worth it in the...

I think that there are a few professions in the world where people get access to people’s personal lives, but as a trucker, it’s all kind of accidental. You’re up there, driving above everyone and minding your own business, but you can’t help look around see what you see. These 15 truckers have gotten glimpses...

In almost every high school in America, there are popular kids. But also, there are popular kids and then there are popular kids – the ones who use their baseless power and privilege to make the lives of everyone else completely miserable. If you weren’t that popular kid there’s a good chance you remember who was...

I don’t know about you, but I’m one of those people who is kind of torn on whether or not I’d like to own an old home with lots of history (and potential hauntings). I mean, on the one hand I guess it could be scary but on the other, isn’t that what keeps things...

For the last couple hundred years, human beings have bought into the idea that, in order to live a happy life that contributes to society, you have to spend a large portion of your life working for someone who is not yourself. Of course it’s more than an idea now, since society is built around...

Even though it can feel a little less true these days, the facts are that we are still living in a society. There are norms and regular practices that most of us follow on a daily and weekly basis when interacting with others – even if sometimes we all know those norms are a total...

There’s this idea that most humans have that, if they play or perform or otherwise turn in their very best work, a win will always result. Whether it’s a game, a performance, an interview or other project at work, though, experience tells us that’s just not true. You can, in fact, lose no matter how...

It’s no secret by now that if you watch a Pixar movie more than once, you’ll start to see some pretty cool details that you missed the first time around. Like Disney, Pixar doesn’t miss a trick, and their fans love uncovering every last “easter egg” the company hides. No matter how big of a...

The media and certain celebrities have focused a lot recently on body positivity, but if we’re being honest, most of the conversations have centered around not judging female celebrities (and regular people) based on how thin and in shape they are (or aren’t). It can feel like men are still fair game when it comes...

Look, I know that’s a big claim in the headline. There are a ton of funny people out there, and a good number of those folks have figured out how to translate their sense of humor into Twitter’s particular short form. That said, I stand by my statement. Comedian and actor George Wallace does it...
