Playing with fire

They're cheapskates

A rollercoaster from start to finish

All of us have admitted to occasionally telling white lies. Could we just be honest and tell the truth? Probably..., if we could, would we want to go back in time and behave differently? absolutely not. Unfortunately, there are times when, for whatever reason, the truth is far worse than the lie. In the story below, a frustrated woman has had enough of her sister-in-law's shenanigans. The sister-in-law has finally pushed OP to the brink after years of disrespect. What did the sister-in-law do t…

Starting off the marriage on the wrong foot

I moved out of my parent's house for the first time when I started university. When I arrived at the dorms, I made sure to clean every square inch of that filthy apartment since I had no idea how the previous tenants—a group of teenage boys—had managed to live in such a filthy space. When my roommates arrived, I introduced myself and apologized ahead of time since I'm not much of a chef and won't be able to help with the cooking. The story below involves a woman who aspires to get better in the…

How many of these were you taught?

Just pay it on and go

So many falsehoods

What could go wrong?

I've watched enough gender reveal party videos to know that some parents are super particular about the sex of their baby. This desire for a boy or a girl doesn't always come from a nefarious place. Sometimes you build up an idea in your head about who your baby is going to be, and when the biological forces at be don't conform to that expectation, you're a little upset. There's truly nothing wrong with that. However, if you act angry or indignant towards your partner because you didn't get the…

If you keep making that face, it'll get stuck that way

One of the lamest things about working is the inequality of it all. Somebody can have the exact same job as you, work as hard as you, and have comparable experience to you and still get paid more for some reason. It might be because they were hired a few months later or because they made a better first impression in the job interview . No matter what the reason, it's a sucky part of working. There are a few things you can do when you find out your coworker makes more money than you. You can tal…

There's only so much you can do to get a job when your resume is not up to par. You can change the verbiage you use to describe your job-hopping as much as you'd like, but employers are just going to see the same thing: an unreliable person who can't be trusted to stay at their company for longer than a year. In this economy, it makes sense why someone would be a job hopper . Loyalty to a position or a company is rarely rewarded with more money, and sending out hundreds of applications and gett…

Despite our negative outlook and potent pessimism, there are actually things that we enjoy in this world. There's raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens. We're into bright copper kettles and warm, woolen mittens. We can really get behind brown paper packages tied up with string. But most of all, we love watching lying pieces of sh!t get called out for their bullshit. We love it when it happens to scummy lowlifes trying to trash local businesses (it's usually the owner of a competitor) as m…
