One man's trash is another man's... yeah no, it's just trash

The Karen version of a date...

Working at a restaurant as a server on a busy night makes you rethink your life choices. Not only do you run about 15 miles back-and-fourth over the curse of the night, endlessly going from the hostess stand to the kitchen, but you're almost always treated poorly by the customers, the kitchen is raging with stress, and nobody is happy. To put it lightly, it's a war zone. One depraved server experienced the worst of the worst one evening when his restaurant was not only slammed with giant groups…

This has some serious Walmart energy

It's been years since I actually used Quora. My profile photo features my ex-boyfriend from back in 2013, and the account is tied to my most spam-filled email address. Despite this, I regularly get emails from them featuring questions about George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, as well as queries about living with narcissists. Spoiler alert: Dude from the profile pic happens to be one. While the emails don't really prompt me to peruse the question-and-answer website, sometimes ther…

I thought I could make it through retrograde unbothered

Please excuse me while I have a conference with my other personalities...

We should all know less about each other. This mantra has popped up on Twitter recently, often in response to people sharing graphic personal details online, particularly on TikTok. With the advent of social media, we have become conditioned to share so much of our lives with strangers. We're not just showing the shiny and cool parts of our lives with strangers: we're sharing everything! We post a picture every day because an app told us to “be real.” We share our traumas on TikTok because thos…

Like all establishments, an automobile company has rules and policies. It seems entirely plausible (generally speaking,) that people would understand a little thing called the 'rule of thumb'. AKA, the unspoken agreement. But unfortunately, not everyone is very bright. There are many possible conclusions one may come to when a car seemingly evaporates into thin air. When you disappear for two hours when taking a car out for a test drive, and ignore all of the staff's attempts at reaching out to…

Audacious

It's my turn to be in retrograde now

Known as the “French Spiderman”, Alain Robert has achieved legendary status as he continues to risk his life climbing insanely difficult faces. Serving up athletes half his age with style and ease, Alain has revamped his notoriety online by sharing his flashy fearlessness. Even though he only has about 10 stringy white hairs on his head, this Frenchman cannot be stopped. Also, instead of climbing in any sort of athletic gear or with any safety harnesses, Alain choses to climb in snake print ves…

Anyone who's been on TikTok in the past four years knows that it's a deep dark place. I joined the app in the fall of 2019 and could feel it affecting my brain chemistry at an astronomical rate. It felt like one of the few uncensored social media sites back then. What rattled me the most was how cruel and insane TikTok comments were. People, primarily kids, were saying horrible things to people on an unprecedented scale. Since then, TikTok has only grown bigger. The worst and best part about Ti…

The support of your parents can be extremely determinant of your own success—the trade-off being that their support in raising you out of diapers will be repaid when they return to them. It's a fair trade—when the parents uphold their end of the deal and aren't depraved and selfish narcissists—or otherwise toxic and destructive to be around. Now, we're all complicated people, and none of us are without our flaws, but some people are better off far away… and out of your life. Take this delightfu…

Eating food that has touched unsanitary surfaces is revolting for some people and, as far as gross environments go, motel bathrooms are arguably the most disgusting communal areas known to man. Motel bathrooms are basically a receptacle for all human excretions and it's not always cleaned (or nuked?) appropriately. However, for one non-discriminating foodie has combined the horrors of motel bathrooms with the culinary arts, building his entire social media platform on creating elaborate recipes…

It's surprising how colossal secrets are kept for so long within companies themselves, but more so when you think about how many employees have since left said company, and kept their mouths shut. Perhaps they signed an NDA, or they're afraid that they'll be sued regardless. Maybe they don't care, or they think others won't. Either way, it is of paramount importance for the world to find out about certain (bad) things, so that individuals can work together to put a stop to them. We all play an…
