Being an employee means adhering to specific workplace rules and risking inevitable consequences if you don't. Included in those policies is the dress-code, which will, of course, differ depending on where you work. However, sometimes the rules aren't so clear-cut and can be left open to the employee's interpretation—for example, deciding whether or not wearing a bra is necessary. One woman faced this very problem and posted on Reddit's Am I The A**hole after receiving complaints from her new coworkers about her refusal to wear a bra in the office. She stresses that she didn't wear a bra at her previous job, her nipples weren't on show, and a sweater hid her 'large boobs,' and she was, in her opinion, entirely appropriate. Redditors, however, disagreed and argued that, although it sucks, it was unprofessional and if she didn't like the policy at her new workplace, she should find another job. What do you think?
Reddit is a social network platform that allows users to discuss and vote on content. Most of the content on Reddit's site are User Generated Content (UGC). Reddit is ranking as the No. 5 most visited website in U.S.
Planning a wedding can be very stressful. The more you plan, the more things can go wrong, and, well, it can take a village to ensure that everything goes seamlessly. If you're lucky you have a supportive circle of family and friends by your side to help you through it. It's normal to expect some help, but that doesn't mean you can start acting overly entitled and expect the world from each person you know. You may be getting married, but everyone else also has a life and in our humble opinion, it's not their job to drop everything for your 'happy day.'
Everybody has cringy stories from hookups that probably didn't need to happen. Noses get bumped, tongues get bitten, and well, sometimes people get way too in the mood and some extremely awkward words slip out of their mouths. If this has happened to you, it's completely normal, sometimes we just feel the need to speak when it's really just not necessary. But if you're not actually interested in the person you're smooching, saying something cringy af could be a very efficient way to get them to leave you alone. In case you're looking for some inspo, here are some of the worst things to say after a kiss.
As a parent, you never stop worrying about your children. They could be at school, at a party, at the doctor's office, across the world, even chilling upstairs in their bedroom, and there will always be a little part of you that wants to make sure that they're okay. Parents are meant to protect their children after all. But at some point, you need to loosen your grip a little bit. You don't have to throw them out the window like a little bird you nursed to health, but you do have to grant them partial freedom at some point to grow on their own.
Parenting is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, especially when you're a single parent. Parents don't always get it right; in fact, most of the time, they screw up. But the sign of a good parent is one who can admit their mistakes and apologize to their kids when they get it wrong. One dad posted on Reddit, wanting to know how badly he had f*cked up when he cut his daughter's hair. He explained that he is a single parent and struggles to maintain his seven-year-old daughter's hair, which she refuses to take any responsibility for herself. After many discussions with her, he finally cut her hair, which she found very distressing. His mother and sister told him that it was the wrong move, but he is unsure. Redditors gave mixed responses, with many telling him that his reasoning was fair, but the way he carried it out wasn't OK. Below is his account; scroll through and tell us what you think. Is this bad parenting, or were his actions justified?
Being married to someone, you kind of become a team, especially in social gatherings. You are in charge of taking careof each other, reading the other person's expression to see when they want to go home, and helping to make the other person look good in front of their friends. Although teasing is a form of flirting, nobody wants to be humiliated by their significant other in public. However, if you're some kind of compulsive liar, there is simply no way you can expect your partner to keep up with your literal BS. Here's an idea, maybe try honesty?
When you hear the words '10 to 5' your brain probably takes you to some kind of a work schedule. But luckily that's not what we're talking about here today. We're talking about ratings. Although we don't want to encourage the act of rating people solely based on shallow things like physical traits, we're slightly more okay with rating people based on their personalities, because that has more to do with chemistry than anything.
Anyway, people are sharing the things that people can do that immediately make them go from a 10 to a 5, or sometimes even lower. So enjoy this ick list, maybe you'll relate or get offended. Who knows?
Hey, we have all learned our lesson the hard way that what you put on the internet is permanent. Some of us have accidentally posted less-than-desirable selfies, sent a DM to the completely wrong person, or had a friend upload a super embarrassing video of us that nearly went viral. You cannot control the internet, it works in mysterious ways.
One thing is for sure though, some Americans really have a way with words. Sometimes they can't help but expose their... lack of worldliness whenever they post (with much confidence) some serious BS. We American's know that they are not the majority, but it still can be really embarrassing. Maybe this list can be used as motivation to increase funding for public schools? Just a thought.
I wonder who started high school reunions. Is the purpose of them just so people can show off how successful they are? Is it a chance for the kids to show that they've glowed up? What happens if you didn't? It could be really fun I suppose. I bet there are a lot of throwback songs and reignited love triangles. Who doesn't love a little drama in a school gym?
It is natural to unintentionally take a lot of things for granted in life. Especially if you don't realize a lot of the priveledges in your life are no accessible to everyone else. Things as simple as 3 meals a day, running water, parents, although we wouldn't call them luxuries, they're definitely not guaranteed for everyone. In case you're interested in thinking about some of the things you are lucky to have access to, here is a whole list of them.
Women's clothing definitely gets more attention than men's, however, one thing they are not known for is being comfortable. Most women's brands lack practicality in their designs. How many times can we complain about not have functional pockets before designers start restructuring their pants? Also, it really seems like everyone and their mother has the same issues with jeans, too tight on the butt and too loose on the waist. Have y'all clothing brands never seen a female figure before? Get with it.
Having a period has always been something that holds women back since so many men are unable to fully understand how they work. For whatever reason, it is still a cringy topic to bring up and girls are still expected to hide their tampons in their sleeves as they excuse themselves from class.
For this teen though, that wasn't even an option. Even in Zoom High School, some teachers still refuse to let their kids 'leave' to go to the bathroom. I guess power-hungry teachers have found new ways to make their students' lives miserable. Refreshing, isn't it?
The 16-year-old eventually reported her teacher and realized that he may lose his job. Now she's asking if she's an A-hole on Reddit for potentially jeopardizing his career. What do you think?
It's normal to feel in competition with your siblings, you have usually been compared to them a lot. And the idea of sibling rivalries are nothing new, they're almost natural as everyone wants the most attention and to have their parents be proud of them. But at what point do sibling rivalries cross the line? You can steal each other's clothes, hobbies, but baby names? That might be the line, especially if it's a child that's no longer with us. That's what you call toxic.
We have come a long way in terms of bringing the two genders closer together, but there are still a hefty amount of double standards that we all have to deal with each day. Obviously, both genders benefit from some of them, but a lot of them are particularly annoying. Even the ones that may seem positive can actually be limiting as well. Like, for example, how men are supposed to be the breadwinners in the family. Sure it's motivating knowing people expect you to be successful, but what if you find someone who happens to be making a larger income, are you suddenly now inferior?
You've probably already begun to think of more annoying double standards so let's get into it.
Gender double standards are everywhere. Children still call certain colors 'boy colors' and 'girl colors.' Most women's jeans still have un-functional pockets, and men still get judged for caring about things like fashion, beauty, cooking. Obviously, this isn't the situation in every single community around the world... But these ridiculous double standards are clearly not dead. It's especially frustrating these days because there has been so much progress made in the past 100 years, but unfortunately, there's still a long way to go.
Some issues are so multi-faceted you don't even know where to start. You can try to address the smaller things but sometimes there simply are no smaller things and you have to just take the problem as it is. Also, there will be cases where everybody is the bad guy and nobody really learns their lesson. Unfortunately, life isn't a movie, so you can't really wait around for people to get their just desserts. All you can do is live your life and try to avoid as much drama as you can.
