As you tiredly settle into your seat on the plane, the hum of the engines fills the cabin, creating a soothing backdrop for the long flight that awaits. Two seconds later, you notice the person who will occupy the seat next to yours… And you can already tell it won't be a fun flight. Oblivious to the unwritten rules of airplane etiquette, they take up the empty seats between you. That is exactly what happened to u/Leather_Ad_5602, who told their story about an annoying passenger on Reddit. This…

Plumbing is one of those professions that white-collar workers love to bring up as an example of jobs that makes lots of money without a college degree. Contrary to popular belief, plumbing is not easy money . Unlike most modern jobs, you have to complete a long and arduous apprenticeship before you can start making the big bucks. Plumbing requires a willingness to get dirty, which most people are unwilling to do for eight hours daily. It's hard work, and if you can stomach it, you've got a gre…

We're just a bunch of daggy kids doing our thing, no? Australian culture has always fascinated me. From the first time I saw The Wiggles on my TV screen, I knew this was an incredible country.

Wikipedia ; the fountain of forbidden knowledge. Is it accurate? Is it all made up? Who cares! Wikipedia was founded in 2001 and has been an essential tool for researchers of the online persuasion ever since. If you grew up in the 2000s, you remember being told by your teachers not to use Wikipedia unless you want to get a big fat F on your paper. That threat put the fear of God into many young Wikipedia users. Although not peer-reviewed in the technical sense, Wikipedia is a very convenient so…
