Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Whilst in a relationship, some people express their love through giving gifts. We’re all familiar with the five different love languages, and gift giving is definitely among the ways of conveying one’s affection and appreciation. It feels so good to surprise someone with something small, but special. It’s a way o f saying ‘I’m thinking about you. ’ I remember in one of my relationships, I would always surprise my boyfriend with homemade cakes w…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. As they say, revenge is a dish best served cold. Or is revenge a dish best served covered in truffle oil, buffalo mozzarella, and prosciutto? According to this Reddit thread, it’s the latter. In this Reddit piece, the original poster (OP) is a woman who’s sick of being left out of the office. Everyday, their office orders lunch together and eats together. Not only do they continually forget her order, but her lunch time has been pushed to a tim…

Thanksgiving is hands down a ubiquitous holiday favorite. I think we can admit how much we love the warmth of the fireplace, decorative leaves everywhere, and the myriad of smells emitting from the kitchen. Your mother has been cooking up a storm since 5 am, turkey basting in the oven, potatoes boiling on the stove, pecan and pumpkin pies set aside for dessert. It’s a magical holiday of sensory wonders, and you get to see the whole family too. Not having the privilege to be with your family for…

"I just wish he would leave me alone and never ask me for anything again."

The phrases ‘work wife’ and ‘work husband’ have entered our colloquial vernacular overnight. Who decided this is okay? Personally, I think it’s a little cringe. If you’re both single, it just comes off as immature and withholding. Just date if you are already calling them husband and wife. But if you’re in a relationship …it’s even weirder. Imagine calling a male friend, ‘second boyfriend,’ to your partner? This nomenclature isn’t meaningless. If it’s just friends, then why does their title imp…

Asking someone to be the head of your wedding party is a HUGE favor.

It went from 'a work thing' to 'an emotional one-on-one with my coworker that you're not allowed to join.'

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Hostility between coworkers can affect one’s quality of life to such an extent that they don’t even want to go to the office anymore. And unfortunately, every workplace has that one ‘Karen’ type . The one who’s in everybody’s business , the one who causes the HR fumbles, and the one who everyone hates. If you have a Karen in your office, it’s time to be on the lookout. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who’s accidentall…

If she quits, they lose $20K of their annual joint income and she loses her independence.

It's funny how some people resent others for not wanting exactly the same things they do, or for living life differently. For example, there are many parents out there who end up resenting those who are not interested in having kids, and act as if those who do not become parents are insulting those who do. The entitled mother in this Reddit story acts exactly like that when she accuses OP (original poster) of being lazy because she doesn't have any kids. What is even more ridiculous is that the…

Is it break time yet?

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. There are certain things in life that we feel possessive about, and rightfully so. Someone touching our phone may feel like a violation worthy of the guillotine, and someone sitting at our work desk may make us feel like we’re going insane. Our belongings and our spaces should never be intruded upon, no matter how much audacity someone has. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a man who lives his stuff, his privacy, and wants people to respect hi…
