The sad thing here is that he technically didn't go over his per diem, just this ridiculous "dinner" timing BS. It's always a big reminder that life is absurd when you find yourself being billed for pennies, like this guy who got hounded over a trivial debt and mailed them a dime. It's at least sort of satisfying to make the payment itself a hassle, like this tenant who paid off an unfair fee in 37 installments.
For the hopeless romantics among us, there are few more nerve-wracking in a relationship than perfecting the proposal you're going to make to The One. Whether it's a meticulously planned date or an off the cuff decision, you want the moment to be a special one that you can fondly look back on. Center stage to all of this is usually the ring. You've got to have something to lead off the Insta announcement, after all. While this might not be the most important part of the package, it's unorthodox to get rid of it altogether.
Nonetheless, one intrepid Redditor did exactly that in a proposal with his girlfriend. He replaced it with something he considered infinitely more valuable: an Non-fungible token. Using much of his life savings to purchase it, u/HandHoldingClub considered the token to be significant to their shared life together. However, the proposal itself left his girlfriend horrified at the gesture — not least because he had previously lost a lot of their joint money investing in cryptocurrency. Not surprisingly, he gained little sympathy on social media, with almost everyone questioning his dubious reasoning about the NFT being a sound investment. Sometimes, it really is just best to stick to tradition.

It's super cool to be bilingual, but if you only speak English, that's also cool. We can't all have one parent from a foreign country, or be really good at picking up languages quickly. Apparently, a woman in a recent 'Am I The A$$hole?' thread didn't get the memo. OP, who is Swedish, talked about how excited he was when he discovered a friend of his girlfriend spoke Swedish because he's been out of his home country for way too long, and therefore rarely got the opportunity to speak it. When he tried to speak to her in Swedish at his GF's birthday dinner, he quickly discovered that she had no idea had to speak it other than a few words. Because she'd been telling all her friends she knew how to speak Swedish for ages, she was obviously embarrassed. However, that's definitely on her, not on him. Let's just not pretend we know how to speak other languages when we don't, alright? Alright, cool. Glad we're all on the same page.
She thought that sense she had a personal relationship with this person that they would gladly screw over their other patients to fit her kid in, but as it turns out, things don't work that way. How is it that all these entitled people think they can destroy someone's professional reputation over a pretty common inconvenience?
The chaotic world of TikTok can feel overwhelmingly insular to anyone who doesn't live on the app, and outsiders tend to assume that few over the age of 25 use it. But despite the fact that TikTok is heavily associated with Gen Z, the young cohort only makes up about 20% of the social network's user demographics. So why has Gen Z seemingly conquered TikTok? Maybe it's the sheer volume of content they're somehow able to churn out. Or maybe it's their idiosyncratic and ever-changing coded language they rapidly adapt to as it morphs in realtime with the latest trends and viral phrases. Whatever they're doing on the internet, it's either impossibly cringe or some brilliantly nuanced satire. We've collected some perplexing screenshots from Twitter account @genzmoments—take a gander and decide for yourself.
The Cheezcake ladies are generally all about laughing our butts off and having grand times together. But sometimes, we just need a good cry We have a lot of feelings, and we need to let them out. On an AskWomen thread, women shared the movies they watch when they just need to release the waterworks. As expected, we got some Disney and Pixar representation on the list, because those movies are just designed to make us cry. If you're having an emotional day and need to have a good cry, these are what the ladies of Reddit recommend.
Every school worth its salt has that story of "the kid who convinced a substitute they were the janitor" or "the guy who rode a bathtub through assembly." Some of the wild things students did to become legends is completely unadvisable, but that doesn't mean it's not memorable. For instance, don't be remembered for pooping your pants real bad.
If we're being honest with ourselves, the weather is probably the dullest part of most TV news broadcasts. These days, our phones can tell us everything from whether it's time for a light jacket or a hurricane is fast approaching. It's not like we need some dude pointing at a map to hammer home the point.
It would appear that no one is more aware of this than the reporters themselves, at least when it comes to one Canadian station. When @dianekoko1 watched the weather forecast recently, she was pleasantly surprised by an unexpected addition of the canine variety. While the weatherman was in the middle of explaining the forecast, a dog wandered on-screen and remained there for the duration.
While at first the presenter appears to take no notice of his companion, he eventually orders the dog to move when he stands in front of the part of the green screen showing the temperature. The cherry on the cake? His name is Storm, fitting in with the meteorological theme. Clearly, it is a career path he has been groomed for.
A whole lotta sh*t could go down in a marriage, and a whole lot of sh*t can go down at work. But what about when the two collide and create an explosion of cringe and awkwardness? That's exactly what happened on the well-known Reddit thread 'Am I The Asshole?' this week. A man posted about how his wife felt it was completely okay to invade his privacy and break into his personal Facebook account in order to fire a coworker that she had a problem with. Scroll down to hear about the drama that ensued.
