Linguistic diversity is something that is not always praised in the workplace. Being bilingual is often seen as a boon for white-collar workers who know languages with reputations of being cosmopolitan or good to know for business. On the flip side, bilingual service workers tend to be perceived as being less intelligent when speaking in their native language.

She's onto something

Contradictory, much?

Being the sober friend in the crew can come with some pretty annoying disadvantages, like becoming the default designated driver at every boozy social engagement. One sober redditor decided to make it a little better for herself by imposing a “designated driver tax” on her drunk friends whenever they expected her to drive everyone home at the end of the night. She didn't expect anything too crazy–a few sodas here and there, or a covered dinner once in a while–but one friend was positively scand…

Weddings…a time of love and romance, not drama, chaos, madness, confusion, and betrayal, right? It's not an easy task for getting hitched to go off without a hitch. Some weddings are plagued with bridezillas who try to control their guests in a demanding and inconsiderate way. However, this goes two ways, and sometimes reasonable requests made by the wedding party are ignored by selfish and rude individuals, ruining the wedding for the couple. The latter is true for Redditor u/babyweddingthrowa…

Unchecked insecurity can ruin relationships and transform otherwise rational people into jealous monsters. When redditor u/abarbiegirl2021 changed her phone's background and home screen wallpaper to an image of Willem Dafoe as Klaus Daimler from The Life Aquatic, she didn't expect her husband to feel strongly about it. On the contrary, he was pretty upset. When taking her story at face value, u/abarbiegirl2021's husband seems totally unreasonable, but let's be honest—don't most of us have the p…

Every culture has it's own “thing” where food is concerned. Just as food varies from region to region, so does the etiquette surrounding both eating grub and serving it to guests. For example, in China it's considered rude to finish all of your food because it implies that the host didn't serve you enough. In Japan, the slurping our elders chided us for is perfectly normal, and even encouraged - the noisy practice actually helps to cool down hot noodle soups. Guest-related etiquette is a little…

Every couple has their mundane problems, but what does it say about your relationship when you start to suspect your partner of conspiring against you? Either some underlying trust issues have always been lurking just under the surface of your otherwise healthy relationship, or maybe you really have been living with a duplicitous psychopath all along. Redditor u/ThrowRAissuesRA turned to Reddit for advice after a series of seemingly harmless games with their husband took an unsettling turn.

Boomers of the mainstream media love to accuse millennials of being lazy, spoiled brats who love quitting jobs and spending all their money on Netflix and avocado toast. Boomers always told us that if we worked hard enough, a prosperous and comfortable life was more than possible—it was a promise. Well, turns out that was total bullshit. It's plain to see why, all you have to do is compare inflation and the growth in median rents to the growth in median income over time. In today's economy, "wo…

Oops

Horrible bosses are a dime a dozen, but in certain industries, hiring responsible managers is a matter of life and death. When u/Burnandmurder and their coworkers noticed that a couple of their bosses had a habit of getting wasted on the job, they knew they had to do something about it. In OP's line of work, being sober and attentive is of the utmost importance. At first, OP's coworkers didn't have a plan for how they were going to bust their bosses . They needed proof. But then one day, the bo…
