A woman's attempt to sell her engagement ring has gone viral after her hilarious explanation for selling it. Although the reason she is selling it — because her disgusting fiancé slept with a prostitute, tried strangling her, and stole from his dementia-stricken father — wasn't the funny part, the way she told the story was. Lisa J Sconey posted her engagement ring on the Facebook group 'Rotherham Swap, Sell or Buy,' asking for £500, which equates to around $665. A fellow member of the group, Pam, asked her why she was selling it, which is when Lisa launched into the long-winded horror story of her repulsive ex-fiancé. Her blunt, heartbreaking, but hilarious way with words spoke to people's hearts, especially to Pam's. Pam launched a fundraiser titled: Raising £500 for the Lisa J Sconey. It has so far raised even more than that, and it's still going. Below is Lisa's crazy explanation.
You have probably heard this at least once before, but men and women get treated quite differently. I think it's called inequality? I don't know, it's so embedded into our culture it's hard to even recognize it sometimes.
Seriously, you can see the inequality in almost every context. It's the kind of thing where, once somebody points it out to you, you can't go back to ignoring it. This woman shared on Tumblr how it is especially apparent in the media.
There are so many movies and shows about American high schools. They seem extremely cheesy on the TV, but what a lot of non-Americans might not realize is how much of it is kind of accurate. Yes, we do say the pledge every day. We do have hall monitors. We also have cheerleaders and school presidents.
It already feels like I am writing the plot of a new TV show because that is just how ridiculous some of our norms seem.
If you're a woman who likes men, then you've probably been in a relationship, a situationship, or on a date with a man who disappointed you in some way. Because, well... men! And I'll bet you also never really got the opportunity to tell them precisely what you thought of them, and you're still holding onto a little of that anger. It sucks not to get the closure you need when a relationship ends, and the Instagram account To The Guys I've Dated is helping women to take care of that. They post funny and real letters of disappointment from girls to their "exes." Each week, we bring you a fresh batch of these letters, so dive in and scroll through this latest haul, and then check out last week's in case you missed them.
Parenting can be fun, but sometimes it can be a real pain in the a**. Kids don't mean to push your buttons, but somehow they know exactly which ones to push and when.

Another day, another divorce. But not just any run-of-the-mill divorce - Microsoft power couple Bill and Melinda Gates have announced that they are officially splitting up. Twitter is obviously all over the divorce, with many single ladies shooting their shot with the billionaire himself in hopes of getting a piece of that Microsoft fortune.

Drinking and letting loose at the end of a long, hard week can be so rejuvenating. After all, there's nothing like a crazy Saturday night with friends to lift our spirits in preparation for another week. However, nights spent drinking are often followed by regretdepending on how the night goes. We often send very wrong things to very wrong people, and there's no way to take back what we sent. But we can stand together in solidarity and laugh at ourselves and the stupid sh*t we sent out. This week's batch of horrifying drunk texts are from an iconic 4-year-old Reddit thread, and suddenly I don't feel so bad about all the idiotic acts I've committed in my own life thus far. Scroll down to see what I mean.
Walmart might have great prices, but it also attracts some real characters through its doors. And when we say characters, we really mean something a lot less pleasant. But hey, at least they give us something to laugh about right? So while you're sitting home during quarantine missing your daily shopping trips, here are some pics to scroll through to remind you that staying home might not be all that bad.
Generation Z is all over the place these days. They decide the trends, cancel the millennials, and make very questionable decisions online. I think many of them have not fully internalized the idea that everything they put on the internet is permanent. If they're going to go around cancelling people, they need to make sure everything they post is extremely woke and correct. It can be very difficult to do so when your entire life is plastered all over social media.
But at least it's entertaining for the rest of us.

It takes a lot of confidence to go on a date. There are a million ways it can go wrong, and yet we still manage to sum up the power to do it all the frickin time. I believe we all deserve a round of applause for consistently putting ourselves out there. Most of the time our dates do not lead to something bigger, but we learn from each one. We gain lessons from every person we open ourselves up to. But sometimes that lesson is just: Stop going after a-holes.

Good sex isn't just about the act itself; the nuances before and after can help determine whether you have a positive sexual experience. From engaging in foreplay before sex to having good pillow talk after, it all adds up. Some people don't quite understand the social rules of post-sex conversation, however, and it turns out that it's pretty easy to kill the mood once sex is over with one short sentence. Redditors share some of the most awkward things a partner has said to them immediately post-sex, and if these don't turn you off someone, I don't know what will.
Dating has evolved over time, and somehow we've arrived at the age of dating apps. It's so wonderful to be here together... right? If you've been on the apps as long as I have, it's actually the opposite of wonderful. Just hearing the words Tinder, OkCupid, and Hinge makes me physically ill. Okay, so maybe I'm being a bit of a drama queen, but try one day on the apps and you'll see what I mean. The singles of Twitter know exactly what I'm talking about. Check out this week's funniest tweets about people's ridiculous experiences on dating apps below.
