There are a lot of actions that people commit within our society that defy unspoken common etiquette. Well, not even unspoken, sometimes people just refuse to abide by established etiquette . I'm no saint, but I try to be as respectful and decent to the individuals around me as possible. You definitely have a few specific pet peeves. Myself? Well, I'm not a fan of littering, you should always clean up after your pet and understand the common convenience rules for operating within a grocery stor…

That was fast

Personally, it's quite difficult to distinguish the difference between an ugly newborn baby and a cute one. They all sort of just look like small, malformed creatures to me. For others, apparently, it's quite easy to distinguish that difference. Now, I've only ever been in the position once where I was in the same room as a nearly newborn baby. It was my cousin's. I didn't get particularly close to it, but I could tell from a distance that it wasn't exactly cute. That being said, five years lat…

Sure, dad

Look, I'm not a parent. I can't speak to how difficult it truly is to raise a child. I'm not necessarily a source of authority when it comes to parenting advice, but if your child is continuously loud, do everything in your power to stop the noise. If you're actively making your child shriek, understand why the people around you might be irritated . Here we have an example of a parent doing the exact opposite of what was just outlined. Reddit user /u/Plane_Ad5416 posed a question in the /r/amit…

Spoiler alert: it's most of them

It goes without saying, there is a lot of evil in this world. For the most part, companies and businesses are rewarded for bad behavior . The end goal of any operation is to make money, so with that in mind, you can imagine that a lot of the largest, most successful businesses engage in less-than-ethical behavior often. It doesn't take a genius to realize that. The only way we're going to improve the world, even marginally, is going to be by discussing the actions of the guilty. There are a lot…

Now, I don't have the biggest stomach of all time, but when I go out, I'll order what I order based on what I want. Maybe I worked out that morning; I'm going to order something heavy and hearty. Maybe I'm not feeling particularly peckish, so I'll order something light. That's my decision and unless it goes against a strict dietary restraint, then I'm going to make my own choice as to what I eat. In a thread on the /r/amitheasshole subreddit, user /u/dragonflysouth4310 explained the dilemma tha…

All kinds of funny

Siblings and only children discuss all the subtle behavioral differences

“Selling out” is a far less cogent cultural concept than it was during the 20th century. At least, that's how it seems

Have you ever had something happen to you where the odds of it occurring were unbelievable? It doesn't have to be something positive. Sure, some incredibly lucky people win the lottery and some people become famous musicians. Props to them, but we're talking about anything and everything statistically improbable. Things like getting struck by lightning or being attacked by multiple birds throughout a single day. On the /r/askreddit Subreddit, Reddit user yankeevandal asked this very question, “…

Family secrets can range from being horribly painful to being the juiciest gossip ever concocted . I definitely don't want anyone to have to deal with the trauma of finding out their father has a secret family or their aunt committed vehicular manslaughter in 1992. However, these stories are interesting for a reason. We don't tend to advertise our family's most heinous classified deeds. There's a sense of relief when you learn the family secrets because it can explain many things that were prev…

It's not fair

Declawing a cat is, in itself, an extremely cruel act. Claws are integral to a cat's life. Besides that, the process of declawing literally amputates part of the cat's paw. It's undoubtedly animal cruelty. The proper treatment of our feline friends is incredibly important to internet users, which brings us to the story. On Reddit's /r/amitheasshole subreddit , /u/Weickzj explains that he adopted a cat from his sister. According to him, the cat had stopped using the litter box after being declaw…

I know without a hint of doubt that I never want to be a parent. I just don’t have it in me. I’m terrible with children. They annoy me, they’re sometimes gross, and they make huge messes. I don’t know how you’re supposed to talk to kids without patronizing them. The overall arrangement wouldn’t be good for me or the child. But that doesn’t mean other people shouldn’t become parents. There are so many responsible, incredible individuals out there who would make perfect parents. There are also th…
