A Utah teenager recently went viral on Reddit for posting their schedule for their part-time job . They are expected to work 32 hours a week, including four 6-hour shifts directly after already going to school for 8 hours. I know there are probably a bunch of angry people reading this and thinking, “that's not very much work! If this teen would hike up their bootstraps, they would be able to work these hours and finish their homework with no issues.” In some cases, they might be right. When I w…

Homeowners associations have a bad reputation for being annoying as hell, and for good reason. Of course, not all HOAs enforce some of the dumbest rules imaginable, but there are enough painfully petty HOAs out there to tarnish the names of the rest. Stories like u/3-2-1-backup 's are a delight for anyone who absolutely hates their HOA. In a recent r/maliciouscompliance post, u/3-2-1-backup recounts the time he checked the oil of his car in his friend's driveway. It was an act that took all of…

Many people in the comments pointed out that OP could simply let his daughter's little game backfire, using the situation as a teachable moment. A “f*ck around and find out” kind of moment, if you will. A “stupid games win stupid prizes” sort of thing.

Meeting a partner's family for the first time tends to be an anxiety-inducing situation. There's a lot of pressure to impress the people who raised or grew up with your “person.” But sometimes it's the family that should be concerned with the kind of impression that they're making. Recently, a Korean-American woman took to Reddit for some advice regarding sticky situation she had with her boyfriend's 13-year-old sister. In her posts, she describes visiting her boyfriend's family and meeting his…

The kids are not alright

These Baja Blast bandits know how to do the dew better than you

I can still smell it. I can see it. I can even taste it. The sweet soda flavor and subtle berry-colored tint made Bonne Bell's Dr. Pepper Lip Smackers a cult favorite from elementary school all the way into high school. The lip balm was mentioned all the time in our favorite teen magazines , and the popular girls at school applied and reapplied every five minutes. That sh*t smelled so good. While it took a while for me to convince anyone to buy it for me, once I had it, I was hooked. And I felt…

Working a thankless customer service job can be grueling. You get regularly disrespected by both customers and your boss . Customers might yell at you or even in rare situations throw a glass at your head, but they typically don't pose real danger to your safety. They come in, they ruin your night, and then they leave. Your boss is much more likely to put you in unsafe situations due to their negligence. Sure, they might not intend to hurt you, but they do hurt you just the same through inane p…
