So satisfying.

Parenting is tough. What might seem like a mundane little parenting mistake to a parent could very well negatively affect a child's behavior for years to come. Not gonna lie, when I read u/tycjy 's post inquiring whether he was an a-hole for secretly eating cupcakes before his 10-year-old daughter could get to the frosting, I thought, “what's the big deal?” But what do I know? I've not yet been blessed with the miracle of children. Plenty of parents didn't hesitate to critique OP's parenting sk…

I don't know who needs to hear this, but your boss is not your friend. When your boss inquires about your health or wellbeing, it isn't because they care about you as a person. They only care about you as an asset of the company—a tool whose labor generates value for the ones at the top. Case in point, when u/SadLilBb13 texted their boss to let them know that they'd been stranded in blizzard after getting into a car accident, their boss initially asked if they were okay. If it had ended there,…

Quitting a job is hard. I've only done it twice in my life, and it's not as simple as waltzing in and yelling, “I quit!” It's much harder to leave a toxic workplace than a well functioning one. Nobody tries to guilt you when you're leaving a well-functioning workplace because they know that one less employee is not going to make much of a difference. The hardest jobs to quit are ones that beg you to stay. Each time I quit jobs, I tried to be as professional as possible because I wanted to maint…

Most decent able-bodied human beings out there don't even have to think before offering their seat on the bus to an elderly person or someone with a disability. It's one of those basic unspoken rules in society that everyone ought to understand. Of course, there are always people who won't get up for one reason or another, whether out of sheer absentmindedness or maybe just not giving a shit, but it's pretty rare to experience someone so entitled that they actually have the audacity to ask a pe…

How does one kill that which has no life?

At a certain point it's just bullying

Doesn't it seem like some of the hardest, most labor-intensive, (and often most important) jobs in the world pay the worst while some of the most useless ones somehow pay the best? Coincidence? I'm not so sure. Lots of redditors got together on good ol' r/AskReddit to make a comprehensive list of all the most overpaid and overvalued jobs that exist today. My question is: where can I find these “ jobs ” and how do I sign up?

Ever dated someone who acts like a giant toddler when they're told they can't just do whatever they want? Redditor u/throwawaycakegf 's girlfriend is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. u/throwawaycakegf recently posted to r/AmItheAsshole after getting into an ongoing argument with his girlfriend over some cake mix. In his post, OP explains that he was helping his baker sister with her business by making wedding cake mix at home so she wouldn't have so much to do in the shop. He notice…

There's nothing worse than getting laid off . Just kidding, there is something objectively worse than that: finding out you're getting laid off from an outside source days before it happens. Being terminated without pay is possibly worse than getting let go, but getting let go always feels somewhat slimy, especially when your department is seemingly cut for no reason. Getting laid off is like saying, “we'll give you a little unemployment as a treat.” It's seemingly innocuous, but it's just anot…

Family secrets are hit or miss. You can either discover something super rad about the people you see during Christmas and Thanksgiving or realize that they really are horrible people deep down. When you're a kid, every piece of new information you learn about your extended family feels like a long-hidden family secret. Even if this is not true by definition, I believe that anything once unknown to you that you learn about your family counts as a family secret. My grandma worked for a TV station…

She dodged a bullet

A good insult is a beautiful thing, and anyone who has spent some time on Reddit knows that many patrons of the infamous website understand the art of the roast. One user recently asked the people of Reddit to share their favorite cuss word-free insults, and boy did r/AskReddit deliver. We've put together a collection of some of our favorite rude remarks from the entertaining thread.

It is not hard to be a good roommate. You do your dishes, clean the apartment, avoid being disruptive , and communicate. That's all it takes. Unfortunately, some people cannot execute the most straightforward tenant of being a good roommate, which in my opinion, is doing the dishes. Washing dishes is so easy, and it baffles me that this is one of the most argued-about topics among roommates. On one hand, it makes sense. If your roommate doesn't do their dishes, you will know. The tangible proof…

If you've ever scrolled through subreddits like r/AmITheAsshole, you might have noticed that there are way too many examples of spouses choosing their controlling parents ' needs over their partner's . But once in a while you come across a refreshing instance of someone standing by their significant other, even in the face of an entitled in-law from hell. When u/dadof2throwWay 's mother decided to throw away his pregnant wife's rotisserie chicken (that she'd been craving for days), he wasn't ab…

It's hard to let the baby bird leave the nest. Many parents struggle to balance being involved in their kids' lives and being overly involved. I understand the struggle! At one point, you had to work day in and day out to ensure this young human survived. Flash forward a few years, and they seem like they don't need you anymore. This transition can be challenging for parents, but it's of the utmost importance that parents give kids, especially their adult kids, space to function without them. T…
