Really?

It's not foolproof

When I was a bartender, customers would often rack up huge tabs over several hours, ordering martinis at the busiest moments and shots for everyone at the bar minutes before closing. The most ostentatious customers were usually the ones who would ditch the bar without closing their tabs, and 90% of the time, those cards would decline. It's a risky scam, but people who work in the service industry know better than most that customers can be shockingly audacious. As much as we wish we could expos…

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…

If you get promoted without a wage increase, is it really a promotion? Or is it just extra work ? Sure, the promotion might come with a better title, but a cool job title doesn't exactly pay tomorrow's bills. When redditor u/InterestedObserver20 was told by their employer that their new promotion didn't come with a pay raise due to budget issues, OP figured out how to use the company's own rules to get a 50% pay bump anyway.

Disney couples are a very specific sort of cringe . My own aunt and uncle had their honeymoon at Disney World (and collect Disney watches) but that's nothing compared to the cringe of people who opt to get married at the park itself. I knew one such couple, and all of their savings would go to a yearly visit, which to me is inconceivable. Even that couple cannot hold a candle to another that got absolutely roasted on both Twitter and Reddit this past weekend.

There are a million ways someone can accidentally mess up their kid , and no one in their right mind is under the impression that parenting is easy in any way, but some things are just common sense. Making sure your kid has a healthy diet and is knowledgable about nutrition is good. Being a weird dictator about food and prohibiting your kid from enjoying a slice of cake on a special occasion? Not so good. When one redditor asked r/AmItheAsshole whether she was in the wrong for demanding “conseq…

Ideas to use next time someone calls about your extended warranty

There's nothing worse than a boss who has it out for you for weird personal reasons. In a satisfying tale of malicious compliance, redditor u/Vanna-Black explains how she became the object of her manager's jealousy, and how she was able to escape.

Food for thought

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…
