Veganism is a spectrum on which every person holds their standards differently. Some vegans only care about the food they consume, while others are also concerned with the utensils they use and potential cross-contamination with non-vegan products. Since vegan restaurants need to respect and cater to all ends of the spectrum, they typically have a 'no non-vegan products allowed' policy to avoid cross-contamination. So when one family brought a ham sandwich into a vegan restaurant and put it on one of the restaurant's plates, they were understandably asked to leave. Unsurprisingly, the family didn't take kindly to being kicked out, which makes sense considering they thought it was appropriate to bring ham inside in the first place. The internet had a lot to say about it.

On Mother's Day, we appreciate the immense amount of patience our mothers have for being able to put up with all of our BS through the years. Honestly, they probably deserve a whole month of appreciation, but since that's not the case, it just means we should all go extra hard today. Moms, we love you. Hopefully these sarcastic memes are up to your standards.
Mamas go through a whole lot of sh*t, and they never really seem to get a break. Not even on weekends - the horror! Mother's Day is the one day a year that we shower them in hugs, kisses, and gifts, even though they deserve the world at all times. If you totally forgot that it's Mother's Day today, but are looking to celebrate your mom properly, we've compiled a concise list of quirky gifts to get her at the last minute. We're the last people to judge you for being last minute. Scroll on down to check 'em out, and have a lovely Mother's Day!
It's always a tough decision what to get your beloved mother for Mother's Day. There are go-to gifts, flowers, chocolate, candles. But that stuff can get so boring. Also, in these trying times, there are limited places you can go to celebrate. This all means it's time to get creative. What better place is there to start than asking a bunch of moms what they actually want for Mother's Day. Lucky for you, there's already a Reddit thread full of answers!
Being married into a family is always difficult. But it is even harder when your new spouse has already been married and everyone prefers or rather misses, their old wife. There are little things a family can do to make someone feel included, like invite them to events, include them in the yearly Christmas card, or give them the secret family recipes. But sometimes family members get protective, especially when a new person enters the scene with no blood relation.
If you have a sister, then you have probably been locked in a battle of wills with her since you were kids over the stain you got on her shirt at the middle school homecoming dance. I know I have been! (Sis, if you're reading this, that shirt cost me HALF of my allowance. Just pay it BACK already!! I don't care HOW many decades have passed, I want my five dollars!!!)
But even though it can foster conflict, those of us with a sister know the secret of any outfit: nothing looks better than whatever you can grab from your sister's closet. (Or her bedroom floor, or the hamper...it really depends what's most accessible.) Such as…
Everyone dreams of marrying someone with the perfect parents, but unfortunately, most sets of in-laws come with their flaws. Whether they're over-involved, overstep your boundaries, or just overall toxic people, navigating the relationships with your in-laws can be highly complicated. They say you don't just marry a person; you marry their family as well, and so it's important to try and maintain as good a relationship with your in-laws as possible. Unfortunately, some don't make this an easy task. One woman posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole asking what to do about her in-laws, who refused to compromise on eating healthier meals whenever she and her husband visited. She explained how all her in-law's food choices were extremely unhealthy, and when the OP tried making healthier alternatives, they complained and found her cooking equally as disgusting as she found theirs.
When I was about seven years old, a kid in my grade said something nasty to me, which I casually mentioned to my mom when I got home from school. By the next day, I had forgotten about it, and we went back to being friends. My mom, however, still hates her to this day, and every time that girl's name comes up, you can bet my mom will snarkily remind me of the time that said something nasty to me when we were seven. SEVEN! Equally, I have never forgotten when my sister wouldn't let me borrow her earrings for my high school prom, which would have totally made my outfit a million times better. In short, family holds grudges against each other for decades, however stupid the original fight was. These funny tweets about family holding grudges might make you feel a little better about your family's weird feuds.
Kris Jenner has always been and will forever be iconic. I don't know what it is about her, but she can literally breathe and somebody will make a meme about it. The best part is, though, that she plays along with it. She knows she's hilarious and hasn't really changed her humor in the past 20 years. Why fix what's not broken?
She has one of the biggest hearts I've seen on reality TV, but it doesn't mean she is not savage when it comes to roasting her family.
Keep going Kris, you're doing great!
You can find a whole lotta love within families, but you could also find a whole lotta drama in 'em too. Some families are super wholesome, some are batsh*t crazy, and some fall somewhere in the middle. On Reddit's infamous 'Am I The A**hole' thread, we're analyzing quite the complicated family this week. The story begins with two sisters - one a mother, the other one childless - plus she's never having on planning kids and frankly isn't a fan of children at all, including her sister's kids. To make a long story short, the sister's parents only allowed access to the inheritance money to their kids that had children, so when they passed on, the childless sister received none of the inheritance money. She asked her sister to lend her some money for surgery after her battle with cancer, alas she's not exactly in a giving mood considering her sister's nasty attitude towards her children.
Hands down, mothers-in-law have a terrible reputation. They are usually said to be nosy, judg-y, and disapproving. Most TV show and movie plotlines include some crazy mother-in-law. But it's time to talk about the other side, because let's be honest, crazy people attract other crazy people. So to every ridiculous mother-in-law, there is a father-in-law who is equally off the rails. Isn't that romantic?
This thread is in honor of all of the insane fathers-in-law out there, you make our lives equally as difficult.
It will never stop being impressive how the Kardashians, a family worth billions of dollars collectively, are somehow so relatable. How do they do it? Khloe Kardashian has received a lot of backlash recently for... well existing. Okay, actually for her photoshopping and plastic surgery, but basically just for existing. She used to be the favorite because she was the only one who allegedly didn't set unrealistic standards for women, but then she gradually lost that reputation once she began her weight loss journey.
To be real though, regardless of how her look has changed, she has been, and will always be unapologetically hilarious.
These gifs exemplify how her humor has truly always been on point.
There are so many stereotypes about mothers-in-law and their relationships with their children's spouses. Often they don't approve, but that is to be expected. They believe their kids are the best in the world, so who could measure up? Constant disapproval will be a nuisance to anyone, but what is even more toxic is when a mother-in-law completely disregards boundaries. Many will just see them as mere suggestions and choose to go out of their way to interfere in every situation. Sound familiar?
MIL's are just one of the many joys of married life.
Being a mother, or a guardian in general, is not an easy job. Every experience is a major learning experience for your child, and you have to try to model for them what it means to be a kind and honest person. Basically, you don't get a break. But some parents definitely seem to have it all figured out, like Dr. Chae, an educator, and mother, equipped with a beautiful amount of patience. She has received much praise for being direct and asking her daughter why she was behaving rudely. The way she got on her daughter's level while speaking with her was very impressive to the Twittersphere.
We all have those secrets that we can only hope and pray will never come out unintentionally. Some secrets are innocent, like having a hidden sexuality, or a niche hobby. But some secrets are literally incriminating, like fcking somebody you know damn well you shouldn't have fcked, or filming something you know damn well you shouldn't have filmed. Sometimes we spend years hiding these events, and we have to gradually convince ourselves that these stories are forever in the past, but then you get drunk one night and tell someone, and suddenly the secret is not only yours to hide anymore.
If you've ever known something about someone that eats away at you at night, you might relate to this Reddit thread.
Every parent knows that you can never really get a break. Sure you can say, "Hey kids, Mommy is taking a nap, play nice!" But how much sleep can you really get knowing that these devil children have the whole house to themselves? The traumatic scenarios that could ensue are limitless. You can baby proof a house all you want, but once your child hits those danger-craving years there's nothing that can stop them, except maybe you of course... if you're lucky.
These Tweets perfectly encapsulate just about how on-guard parents have to be 24/7.
