It always brings a smile to my face and a warmth in my heart when a parent stands up for their kid rather than taking the side of an unreasonable school administrator. I wasn't a troublemaker in elementary school, but I wasn't exactly… normal either. Luckily, I had pretty accepting parents. Whenever my mom got a phone call from a teacher complaining that I was pretending to be a dinosaur again, my mom responded the same way every time. “Good,” she'd say, “kids are supposed to be kids.” One redd…

Customer service employees want others to see this as an example of how you should actually react when something goes wrong with your order—after all, we're all only human.

It's not necessarily uncommon for parents to offload certain responsibilities to their offspring, but it's important to ensure that these responsibilities are appropriate for a kid. When parents make one child responsible for their sibling, it can create an unfair and imbalanced dynamic that can lead to resentment and frustration. While it's totally natural for older siblings to help out and look after their younger siblings, it's important for parents to avoid overburdening one child at the ex…

Take that one to the grave

Urban legends have been around since, well, time immemorial. They spread like wildfire, and are somehow accepted as fact by multiple generations. While fascinating (and sometimes even completely silly), many urban legends are firmly rooted in fallacy. We're not talking about the small-town rumors of high school heroes. We're talking widely accepted and distributed tales that are simply not true. Recently, a curious soul took to Reddit's r/AskReddit community and asked its members "What urban le…

Vacations are not a piece of cake. Everybody has a different idea of how to be on vacation, and if you force your standards onto others, it can easily breed resentment. There's a clear middle ground between waking up at 6 AM daily to do everything you could possibly do and sleeping until 3 PM every day, wasting your vacation away in an expensive hotel room. Disney vacations are uniquely stressful. There are some rides that you need to get in line for at 7 AM if you want a chance in hell of not…

The USA has a lot of things that its neighbors (even the far away ones) should adopt, but the country is also lacking in some areas, and that is what this popular Reddit thread is here to discuss. Let's state a few of the obvious, like the tax system, the bathroom stalls, and public transportation… see, in the comment section, Japan was mentioned more than once, and we can't help but wonder why. Japan is pretty rad, that we already know, but still, why was it brought up so frequently? So we did…

Everyone gets some sick satisfaction from overhearing someone talking smack about you, especially someone you've been suspicious about from the jump. When someone talks about you behind their back, they have all the power. However, when you overhear the sh*t talking, you get some of the power back and are at least able to defend yourself against their claims about you. This Uno Reverse Card puts the sh*t-talker in an awkward position because you were never really supposed to know what they felt…
