Burger King launched a $40 million ad campaign in November 1985 called “Where’s Herb?” The idea was to find a character named Herb who’d never been to BK. Other chains pointed out that if Herb wasn’t at BK, it meant he probably liked other chains’ burgers more. Burger King profits fell 40% in 1986.

People who work in customer service roles are truly saints. Human beings, at least some of them, are determined to be as difficult as possible about every little thing.

I am slow clapping for the people who came up with and posted these! Because they’re the true heroes. Well, and the nurses and doctors and health care workers. Them too.
Heh.
Honestly, they would make me want to patronize these places more.

It can be hard lately to find reasons to believe that people are still inherently good and worth saving, don’t you think?
And while dark, humorous content certainly has its place on the internet and in our lives, the truth is that we can also use reminders of why we love other people.
These 14 recent moments are sure to make your heart grow at least a couple of sizes.

It’s good for children to hear their parents debate, split up chores, make compromises, and even argue, as long as it’s done with respect and apologies are also made public later on.
That said, a stable home and a solid partnership between parents is important to children’s development and emotional well-being, so here are 5 things you should never, ever say unless you’re in private.

Even if you feel uncomfortable or have gained a few pounds, making comments about your weight can have a negative effect on your child’s self-image.
Don’t talk about being “fat” or “skinny,” but it’s ok to say things about making healthy and good choices most of the time.
Your kids are always watching and listening, and they will internalize the messages you post about yourself.

We’re never allowed to tell other people how they can feel.
Saying something like this invalidates the other person’s feelings and tells them they’re wrong to feel upset.

Work-life balance, and the unpaid labor we all have to do at home, is a sensitive topic.
In front of your kids, though, you should always strive to acknowledge how each partner contributes in different ways – even if the same person always makes dinner or takes out the trash.

If your partner is asking for your opinion, there are better and more polite ways to say you’re indifferent rather than saying “I don’t care.”
Try to give at least a little feedback.

This phrase makes the mistake into a big deal, which is rude and disheartening to the person who made it. Instead, you can try focusing on a) how the mistake can be fixed, and b) what we can learn from it for the future.
I’d like to think most of us didn’t need to be told, but you never know!

There are people in the world who still hate on Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice, but if you as me, it mostly just smacks of either envy or somehow thinking it makes you cool and superior to not like the thing everyone else enjoys.
Because the story, the characters, and the adaptations have endured for so long, there’s really no arguing they don’t have merit!
There are also ample jokes, which of course means you’ve made it, and we really love these 16.
They existed only in her mind.
I love that the GIF is Colin Firth.
But here we are.
Especially when you are out of other options.

Not the first time around, anyway.
Or your customers, I guess.
But no, not most things.
It’s like an old friend and a new lover at the same time.
