Back in the day, when mythical pensions existed and companies took care of their employees, workers would typically stay at their job and work for their company for decades, oftentimes riding out their first entry-level position all the way to retirement. Nowadays, celebrating a 2 year anniversary with a company is a huge accomplishment and most employees just don't have the same kind of loyalty anymore. In this case, one part-time employee had just celebrated his 30 year anniversary before...

This husband thought he was being a nice guy, but he really hurt his wife's feelings with the gift he decided to give her. The husband, u/Level-Parsley2953, was wondering if he's really a jerk for the gift he gave his wife. They're married and starting a family, with two babies on the way. The OP even got a second job to support their growing family, but this means his wife has been taking on more of the household burdens. That includes “nothing too major,” the OP writes. But the “nothing too m…

'Handing artists random objects while performing should be standard'

Sometimes it only takes one little thing to break apart a friendship . It could be something as simple as a text message — or the lack thereof, in this person's case. One thing you realize the older you get is that it isn't what people say that matters so much as what they do. That whole “actions speak louder than words” sentiment is totally accurate. There are only 24 hours in a day, and if someone makes you a priority, they're taking time from their day to include you in their life. People ce…

Ax throwing is such a fun activity, it's no wonder the person in this tale decided to host a birthday party there. If you've never done ax throwing before, it's about as simple as it sounds. You show up to the location, get your own lane to throw axes down, and then an instructor teaches you the proper throwing techniques. You can learn to throw axes in just a few minutes, and then you have quite some time to spend trying to hit targets, pop balloons, or play other target-practice games. The ho…

Who doesn't love getting presents? When you have a pet, you get lots of presents - some you didn't want (like coming home to an explosion of toilet paper on the floor ), and some that make you want to cry out of love (like when they bring you their favorite toy to play with them). Our pets have brought us lots of things over the years, and some of them we had to document because they were so ridiculous. We don't know where these derpy doggie divas found some of these “gifts” (we've never before…

Weddings are expensive, so planning a nuptial on a budget can make a person lose sight of appropriate ethics when it comes to money matters. Although everyone wants to make their wedding the event of their dreams, sometimes we're just not rich enough for that. One woman, a 40 something who was finally ready to walk down the aisle, recently planned an enormous wedding on a skimpy budget; then, she did the unthinkable...

No one knows how to push your buttons better than your own family members . It starts when you're children, but even once you're grown up, the same people who you love more than anything can still get on your last nerve. This wedding planner found himself quite frustrated with his sister as she planned her dream wedding. Like lots of creative jobs, his sister seems to be under the impression that his job is easy and inexpensive, when in reality it's just the opposite. This guy helped her choose…

Like Santa Claus, but if Santa Claus stole every present first

Don't mess with this mom, who's on the warpath after her daughter didn't celebrate Mother's Day in the right way. Mother's Day is important to many people — it's the day you show your appreciation for everything Mom did for you. Moms raise us and nurture us, so it's lovely to have at least one day a year to show how much she means to you. Lots of people either spend the day with Mom or give her a phone call. However, this Mom wasn't happy with any of the Mother's Day presents she received. Then…

That escalated quickly

Geeks and nerds are the easiest people to buy presents to

One last gift

Give the gift that keeps on giving

Unashamed and ruthless

The algorithm king is at it again
