People Talk About the Worst Legal Things That You Can Do

Just because something happens to be legal doesn’t mean that it’s right or moral in any way, shape, or form.

All you have to do is look back at things THAT USED to be legal in this country and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.

And there are still plenty of things that are legal today that are still messed up.

“What’s the worst LEGAL thing you can do?”

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say about this.

1. Happens all the time.

“Fire all your employees and move your business to East Asia so you can essentially use slave labor.”

2. That’s disturbing.

“As a fertility doctor, in most states, it’s totally legal for you to inseminate a patient with your own sperm instead of their selected donor.”

3. Thank you!

“Listening to music and/or talking on the phone with volume up in public with no headphones.”

4. Who the hell would do this?

“Put your dog down because it’s inconvenient.

I know a woman who had a perfectly fine Yorkie put down because she was moving and didn’t want to deal with a dog during the transition. Then she immediately buys a maltipoo puppy upon arrival at the new destination.

Now she’s moved again and has a new dog, but no longer posts about the maltipoo. I suspect the worst, and it’s a shame because we would have gladly taken him if she didn’t want to move with him.”

5. People still smoke inside?

“Smoke in the same house that your children live in, forcing them to inhale toxic chemicals that damage their bodies.”

6. Enough of this.

“Bully someone. Mentally abuse someone.

Make them feel bad about themselves their whole life.”

7. So terrible.

“Claim that access to water isn’t a human right and then forcing people in third world countries to buy your shitty products at exorbitant prices because there’s no alternative.”

8. Messed up.

“Hire employees to temporary casual positions so you don’t have to pay them benefits but make them work full time hours.

Bonus: Dangle full-time employment in front of them, then fire them just before they would have gotten it, and since they’re a temp, they don’t qualify for unemployment benefits.

Happened to my husband. It took him a year to find another job.”

9. Does this sound familiar?

“Put your $$ in an offshore account so you can avoid paying BILLIONS in taxes.

Then complain that the lower classes are mooching off YOUR money.”

10. These people are scum.

“Protesting and insulting somebody who sacrificed their life in the military at their funeral.

Regardless of your stance on the military, that’s pretty fucking bad.

Looking at you Westboro Baptist Church…”

11. Don’t do this, men.

“Strolling up to a bank of a dozen urinals, all of them except the one someone else is using being empty, and choosing the urinal next to that person.

Then proceeding to try to have a conversation with them.”

12. Terrible parents.

“Have too many kids, raise them to blame everyone else for their problems, kick them out as soon as they graduate high school/turn 18.

Whichever comes first.”

13. And repeat…

“Crash the housing market, receive a taxpayer bailout, pay yourself an obscene bonus, invest while market is down, use that wealth to fund legislative rollbacks of restrictions.

Repeat?”

14. They need to be socialized.

“Homeschool your child since birth, prevent them from ever leaving the house or socializing with others. (My house, my rules).

On their 18th birthday, kick them out of the house with nothing in their pocket.”

15. Don’t do it!

“Farting in an elevator.”

16. That is scary.

“Buy drug companies, remove their entire research & development team/staff, then inflate the cost of the drug 5000%

This is what drug company Valeant did regularly (just like Martin Shkreli did but on a much bigger scale)

There’s a whole documentary about it on Netflix called “dirty money”. Nobody went to jail, but thousands of people died from not being able to afford new prices, and the whole US population had to pay higher healthcare premiums because of this tactic. A few people did get filthy fucking rich though.”

How would you answer this question?

Tell us what you think in the comments!

We look forward to hearing from you!

People Share What You Should Say If You Get Rejected for a Date

Rejection is never any fun.

No one wants to go through with it, but unfortunately, it’s part of life.

Especially when it comes to asking a person out who you are interested in.

Then what do you say?

Do you really want to know?

Here’s what folks on AskReddit had to say.

1. Huh…

“An actual response of mine from high school: “Huh. Well that sucks.”

The girl in question laughed, I laughed, and it smoothed over. And then she proceeded in the following months to cling to me and pretend i was her boyfriend.

Oh yea. I know how to pick ’em, chief.”

2. This isn’t bad.

“Ok, no problem.

See you around.”

3. Very lucky!

“If they explain that they have a girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/partner I’ll usually say “Oh! They’re very lucky then!”, smile through the pain, and walk away.

It establishes that I respect not just them, but their relationship and perhaps they will go home and think “Yeah, I guess I’m pretty lucky too!””

4. Rock it.

“They said they had already been asked out by someone else. So I wished them good luck and to “rock that shit”.

I don’t fail half way.”

5. Nice and easy.

“”Okay, thanks for being honest”

I have seen too many situations where someone says yes because they feel bad or awkward. Don’t lead someone on because you “feel bad”.”

6. Don’t do this.

“Break into a sad musical number.

“MEEEEEEMORIEEEES ALL ALOOOOONE IN THE MOOOOONLIGHHHT”

7. Show ’em who’s boss.

“Finger guns and a moonwalk outta there.”

8. There you go.

““Haha no worries” and then you go about your business.”

9. Moving on.

“I just say “I respect that” and move the fuck on.”

10. You’ll sound like a psycho, but why not?

“Fine.

YOUR LOSS! I’M A FUCKING CATCH!

You’re gonna rue the day you passed up on dating me. YOU WILL RUE IT!”

11. A high school story.

“My sophomore year of high school I had a couple of classes with this girl I had a crush on. Because teachers loved using alphabetical order there she and I ended up sitting next to each other in those classes.

We start passing notes in those classes talking about random stuff and being a bit flirty.

One day I decide to get the courage to ask if she wanted to go out with me to a movie or something. So, I ask her out in one of our notes. She replies saying that she’s really sorry but she doesn’t like me in that type of way.

I was devastated of course, but I also liked her as a friend and didn’t want to lose that, so I replied saying that was okay and asking if we could just forget I asked and keep things the way they were because class would be so boring without our talks. She said yeah that was fine and we stayed note buddies throughout the year.

Not sure if this would work for everyone, but it worked for me.”

12. That works.

“The best I’ve heard is, “Alright. Well take it as a compliment then.”

13. Make it weird.

“Awkwaaaard”

The higher your pitch and the longer you can stretch it out, the better.”

14. You obviously didn’t hear them…

“Perfect.

Pick you up Saturday at 7pm, bring nothing.”

15. Why not?

“Ok, I figured I’d ask.”

16. Keep it professional.

“Well, you’ve got my resume, so please consider me for any future positions. Thank you for your time.”

And assuming this is post-Corona, offer a firm handshake, three pumps, no more, and exit the room.”

17. Maybe it could work?

“She responded with “I have a boyfriend” (sounded genuine)
I told her she’s so pretty, she could use two boyfriends.

Her face went cherry red and with a smile said maybe I’ll see you next year. Asked her on the last day of school).”

18. Leave it right there.

“All good. You seem like a great person I just had to ask. Thank you for being honest.

Acknowledge, compliment, and leave it there.”

19. Remember to be nice.

“That’s alright. I hope we can still be friends.”

20. Laughs galore.

“My friend used to ask guys “you wanna date?” and if they said no, she would pull out a bag of dates and say “cool more for me then”.

It was hilarious every time.”

Now we want to hear from you!

What do you think is the best thing to say to someone after they reject you for a date?

People Share What They Think Is GOOD About the United States

I’ve been lucky to travel a lot in my life and I’ve been overseas a few times.

I totally understand why there is anti-American sentiment around the world (and here at home) because of some of our policies and our terrible leaders, but I really do believe that we live in a great country and there are many positives about the U.S.

We just have a lot of work to do and we’re gonna get there together!

Here’s what people on AskReddit had to say regarding what’s good about the United States.

1. From an international student.

“I’m an International student in the USA from a 3rd world country. It’s basically a different universe. Everything is so cheap when you earn in dollars.

Large convenience stores like Target or Walmart are (as the name suggests) incredibly convenient. Electricity is dirt cheap. Amazon packages can arrive in 2 days. High school system (from what I gathered talking to friends) facilitates students pursuing specific interests, while higher education also gives enough flexibility to do a complete 180.

Public transport (where it exists) is great. People are incredibly diverse. Idk, the USA has a lot going for it.”

2. It’s HUGE.

“The size of the US is what makes it so diverse . I’ve lived in the Deep South (AL, MS) and the total opposite northwest areas (Colorado ,Washington state)

If anyone has visited multiple regions it’s so easy to realize how night & day the cultures and customs can be. Yet we are all Americans.

And people wonder why all of America can’t agree on anything (politics, etc.) It’s all perspective…”

3. Welcome!

“As someone who has visited both the northwest and southeast, you Americans sure know your hospitality and how to make tourists feel welcome.

Your rollercoasters and theme parks are great, your love for bubble gum and cinnamon flavored treats is endearing, and your forests, mountains and national conservation areas are magnificent!

Oh, and despite them being unfashionable gas gulpers, I have a weak spot for classic American muscle cars.”

4. Well, that’s good.

“Years ago I stayed a few nights in a relative’s house on Long Island New York.

In their back yard they had a long low fridge. Inside this fridge were loads of cans of beer.

There was no lock on this fridge. Nobody hopped the fence and stole it.

They also had a scarecrow and various other Halloween things out the front of the house.

Nobody stole or destroyed this stuff!

Having lived all over Dublin I was shocked.”

5. So much shit…

“The US has so much shit. Great National parks, good music in all tastes, video games, technology, food.

Many cities that could be the capital in most countries. All those skyscrapers, all sorts of neighbourhood’s.

The US can literally define a generation. People in other countries use US definitions. E.g. Baby boomers, Gen X, Gen Z. Count yourselves lucky because other regions have next to nothing (economically).”

6. Very true…

“There are not many countries out there where you can openly mock the president and criticize their every move and not have the slightest fear of reprisal.”

7. Neighbors to the north.

“My experience as a Canadian is that Americans are generally chill, friendly people and are very approachable. I have long felt more comfortable talking to strangers there than in my own country.

Canadians can be very passive aggressive and reserved, while Americans as a generalization like to chat with strangers. I’ve seen that no matter what state I’ve visited. Customer service is also a million times better in the US than in Canada, whether it be at a restaurant or even Walmart.

I get tired of fellow Canadians dumping on the US just because they don’t like the current president. The country is the sum of all its people and not who’s in the White House at this moment.

I’m looking forward to visiting your country again once Coronavirus slows down. I had hoped to do some US travel this year; at least I got one trip in before the pandemic got bad and our land border closed.

Also, you guys produced Seinfeld.”

8. Interesting.

“The fact that as a woman of color, while I do experience racism, the bulk of people stand up when they see something wrong or unjust.

I may not be this lucky in a lot of other places.”

9. Be optimistic!

“I love my European bothers and sisters dearly, but you are a cynical bunch.

American optimism may not be based completely in reality but I believe to my core it has contributed to success in life.”

10. Our principles.

“I love that that one of our founding principles (life liberty and pursuit of happiness) are still our goals as a people. We still haven’t figured out how to do it right, but damn if everyone doesn’t fight for those rights every chance they get.

Our nationality is a concept, not a race. I guess that’s true of other countries in a way, but it feels so much more here. You could have a someone, say, with Sioux heritage, someone with Chinese heritage, someone with Dominican heritage, and someone with British heritage standing next to each other and they’re all American. And they all want to be treated with respect and dignity and believe that this country should stand for that.

We have a really awful history of not following up on our founding principles, but I think every population within the US fights for those principles and agrees on them as a concept. We differ on the exact interpretation, sure, but generally – we agree that America is a place where people should be free, respected, and able to build the life they want for themselves. I’m not saying it always happens, but I am saying that’s what holds us together.

While we don’t have our shit figured out with how we treat one another, we’re all in this country and we all are demanding to be treated justly and fairly like scrappy little revolutionaries.

11. The ultimate melting pot.

“It’s such an INCREDIBLY diverse place.

So many people from all walks of life, but I also love the thought of places like Chinatown, where you can get a real taste of a different culture and you don’t even need to get on a plane.”

12. An ongoing experiment.

“Nature, national parks and their protections

All kinds of music, including jazz, pop, … all one big continuous experiment. It’s nice.”

13. Fairly stable.

“Strong input in the arts. Americans, or their corporations, make high or old culture accessible for the masses.

Disney has adapted many old stories, legends and fairy tales to modern times. The US comic book culture has created new heroes that are loved almost universally (Spider-Man, Superman, Batman).

You have a fairly stable constitution of the country. In the almost 250 years you exist you have seen one Civil War. Compare this to the rest of the world in the same time frame and your Civil War looks like a bar fight.”

14. Abundance.

“We have an absolutely incredible amount of living space that just sits there unused, and we’ve had one of the luckiest startup locations in human history.

Abundance is very American. We can afford it.”

15. It’s true.

“At the end of the day. It is still one of the best places to have an opportunity for success. People like to shit in the US, meanwhile people waiting for their visas and looking for ways to migrate.

And the food. LA, NY, SF. Whatever kind of food you’re craving for, there’s a good restaurant out there.”

Okay, let’s hear from all of you.

Tell us what you think is good and positive about the U.S.

A Tumblr Writing Prompt About Monsters Provoked an Interesting Short Story

Getting an interesting prompt can really jumpstart your creativity if you’re a writer. You never know where it’s going to take you, and generally speaking, if you give the same prompt to a hundred writers, they would all come up with a totally different story.

Tumblr does regular writing prompts, but this one, about a kid who had sent all of the monsters assigned to lurk under her bed back crying, really inspired some (tragic) genius.

In it, a supervisor at the scary monster facility tells us about a little girl, Charlotte, who has vexed every monster that was sent to frighten her.

She describes a few of the monsters who failed, and then realizes that she’s the only monster left in the bag of tricks.

She goes herself, slithering under the bed and tipping her hat to the monsters lurking under Charlotte’s brother Daniel’s crib.

The monster tries to scare Charlotte, but she says she’s not afraid.

But as she starts to tremble, the monster realizes she is afraid…and that’s when they hear a man come home.

He’s loud, he’s stinky, he yells.

And as he stomps up the stairs, Charlotte climbs under the bed with the monster.

The man tries to grab Charlotte, but as the monster realizes what the little girl fears more than monsters under the bed, she slithers out to confront him herself.

She threatens the man, who runs off crapping his pants, and promises to return every night to keep Charlotte safe.

You never know what sort of stories you’re going to get when you assign a prompt. This one probably inspired some tales that were similar to Monsters, Inc.

This one, though, is terrifying and sad and poignant all at once – a real tribute to the power of stories to change the way we see things!

People Share the Absolute Creepiest Things They’ve Seen While Driving at Night

I’ve always been creeped out by scary movies and true crime books and articles that revolve around driving at night in a lonely place.

Maybe it’s on a remote stretch of highway, or maybe it’s an old country road where there isn’t another person around for miles.

Either way, it’s scary stuff and it makes you think about what you’d do if you saw something strange on the road or you encountered a terrifying situation.

And those creepy things really DO happen out there on the highways and byways.

Here are some interesting stories from folks on AskReddit.

1. Road kill.

“A fucking owl standing on the carcass of a large buck in the mountains at 3-5am.

All you see as you approach are two glowing red orbs, then slowly a becomes huge dark form standing on the edge of the road with eyes of fire. Then you get close enough and this massive fucking owl just gives you the death stare as you go past. You realize it was just a large ass owl standing on the remains of fresh road kill.

Freaked me out for the rest of the dark part of the drive.”

2. Bad accident.

“I was following a grey Toyota Tundra in a massive blizzard through Montana on McDonald pass. He was going pretty quick most of the way but must have been unfamiliar with how steep the final few miles are.

He got away from me as I slowed down to about 35. Not 5 min later I passed his tire marks in the fresh snow that went off the side of the mountain. Pulled over and looked down to see his truck upside down and on fire about 300 yards down.

Called 911. He didn’t die but was burnt up pretty bad. Sad and scary and don’t go 50 in the snow just because you have a truck or 4wd!!!”

3. Scooters.

“I had just finished driving for Uber and was driving down the access road to my home around 3am when I saw a body lying completely lifeless next to one of those motorized scooters.

I pulled over and flagged down his buddies who were drunk and kept going without realizing their friend was lying on the ground. Ambulance arrived and took the kid away, but I never came to find out if he made it.

F*ck those scooters man.”

4. Freak out!

“Not me but a friend.

After dropping me off at my house around 2 am, my friend calls me and tells me to pick my doors. He said he saw a man standing in the middle of the road and that as he passed him the man kept staring through him. Not at him really, but like their was something behind him in his back seat. He also said he could barely make out anything about the man other than his large eyes and trench coat.

What really terrified me is that this happened on a street that only my family lives on and no one would have been out that night. Also we’re a solid mile and a half from the nearest neighbor. Freaked me the hell out.”

5. Poor animal.

“A dead, butchered horse laying in the road. Someone had completely skinned and butchered a horse, took the choice pieces of meat, and just dumped it on the highway.

I almost crashed into it.”

6. Don’t pick him up.

“3am on a lonely road and I was the passenger. An old man only wearing a bra, panties and high heals was casually walking down the road.

My friend who was driving didn’t believe me and went back around. Sure enough, he saw him and we were like WTF.”

7. Better safe than sorry.

“I was on I-70 in Colorado going towards Utah, pulled over at a gas station at 8pm. Fueling up I noticed a couple of attractive women pumping gas, on the other side of the pump was the man in his late 40s, just staring at these young women without notice of anything else going on around him.

I walk inside to go grab some food for the next few hours of driving, when I come out I see both the younger women’s car and the older man’s truck are gone. I decided to hang out at the gas station for the next hour to catch a little sleep before hitting the road again.

After driving for a few hours (I was speeding heavy) I pull over at yet another gas station, the young women are there getting gas and eating some food on a picnic table. Looked like they had been there for a while. I didn’t see any sign or the man in the truck but can’t say I was looking very hard for it. Well here is where it got creepy as hell….

Can’t say I didn’t stare at them a bit, I mean they were good looking women. As I am watching them leave I see in the next parking lot over some headlights turn on and it’s the same man as before…. He leaves when the women leave once again.

Okay that’s a bit weird but could just be a coincidence as there weren’t many places to pull over. I leave a few minutes later and catch up to them…now this guy is riding there ass with his high beams on.

I decided to slow down and stay a distance behind the truck. 10 minutes or so later the women pull over once again to most likely get this guy off their ass…

With a sign of relief the truck keeps going and I continue on my way. About 1 mile down the road the guy just pulls off to the side of the highway…. So I pull off a mile or so down the road again.

Sure enough the women drive by and the guy is still following them. At this point we are out in the middle of nowhere and too many coincidences have happened. I called the cops to alert them and about 15 minutes the cops pulled the guy over.

I could have just seen too many horror movies that started like this and over reacted but ya never know. Better safe than sorry.”

8. That’s terrifying.

“Driving down a 2 lane divided highway. I came up to a couple semi sand went into the left lane to pass. I did a shoulder check to get back into the right lane when I saw headlights in front of me.. in my lane. The car was going the wrong way.

I managed to swerve into the ditch, felt like i was mere centimeters from death. Thought my wife’s scream would be the last thing I ever hear… And I never want to hear it again. The semis I passed all pulled to the shoulder to come check on us. Didn’t see the car anywhere.. I think they just kept going.

Had to pull into a gas station after and collect myself.”

9. On a dark road…

“A hitchhiker almost leaping out in front of my car on a dark forest road late at night. The woman literally popped out of nowhere. Had to drift into the oncoming lane. Read a police report that she ended up getting hit  minutes after I drove by. She was intoxicated and running  from the police. Pretty f*cking creepy.

I hope she’s alright. I can’t imagine what the driver that hit her was thinking.”

10. OH MY GOD!

“When I first started learning to drive I was working for my dad, and one day after work he asked if I wanted to drive home, I was like alright! So I got on the highway headed for home, and while driving, I looked in the rearview and a guy on a crotchrocket was coming up behind me, I thought nothing of it I was sure he would pass or slow down.

I look ahead again and a few moments later I hear this sound, like metal scraping against the ground. I look around and then look back into the rear view, and the bike was on its side, spinning down the highway, and behind it I could see the biker on his back, legs and arms flailing kind of like a baby on its back in a crib, then I watched as he dissapeared under the vehicle behind him.

I was so freaked out driving after that I didn’t want to drive for weeks following the incident. Then eventually got over it. Still I can see the guy in my mind just sliding along the ground flailing about then being swallowed under another car.”

11. Scary stuff.

“I was driving on the expressway around 2am and a semi hit a car and it went into the median. The car basically folded into itself and was beyond smashed. I can’t imagine that person survived.

It was incredibly sad and terrifying to see.”

12. About to get jacked.

“I was a very young woman driving home after clubbing, about 2 am through Hollywood. I was pulling up to a stop sign on Cahuenga, about 3 blocks from Hollywood Blvd., when a bunch of guys begin to casually stroll onto the crosswalk, coming from both sides.

I hit the gas and ran the stop sign without even thinking. They cursed and ran after me, but those boys were ready to jack me. My instincts took over before I even realized what was happening.”

13. Close call.

“Driving home one night from my fiancé’s house, normal night on the Florida highway.

It’s pretty dark, not too many lights, cruising at around 75 headed over a slight hill, just big enough that you can’t see the other side.

Get to the top and start making my way down the hill, and very suddenly in my headlight view I get a giant construction vehicle with all of its lights TURNED OFF, AND PARKED IN THE LEFT LANE OF THE HIGHWAY.

I really, seriously, pray to god that no one hit that parked construction vehicle (it was one of the ones that digs up dirt I think?) on the highway that day. I very, VERY narrowly avoided smacking right into the back of that thing.

I don’t know how the Cherokee I was driving at the time handled the sharp turn I made into the right lane to avoid the vehicle. Needless to say I was very nearly dead.

Immediately called Florida highway patrol and told them about it. I hope they got to it before someone got hurt, and I REALLY hope someone at that construction company lost their job. Because they could have killed multiple people.”

14. Funny/scary.

“Scariest and funniest at the same time.

I was working at a restaurant as a cook. We did full menu till 11:00 PM, then apps and burgers till 1:00 AM. I tended to pull the solo night shift, because I would walk out the door at 1:05 AM and the kitchen was stocked, clean, and perfect.

It was a long night. Stupid FoH kept sending back food orders after 1:00 AM, I didn’t leave till 2:00 AM. 30 minute drive home, and I was exceptionally tired.

I lived in the boonies of Wisconsin, at the time. A good 5km outside of town, which was 500 people, 2 churches, and 9 bars. I hit the little 24/7 truckstop just at the edge of that town for some munchies and smokes, and made the final trek home.

Encountering deer was not uncommon out there, so I was going slow. When what appeared before me, to my tired eyes, was a monster.

It had a huge, round body. This crazy long neck, a pointy head, and only 2 legs. Right in the middle of the road. Scared the ever loving fuck out of me in that state.

Thankfully, it stood there for a second. Brain re-engaged. It’s an ostrich. Ok, not a monster, heh, just… an…

What the fuck is an ostrich doing wandering around in Central Wisconsin?!?

I looked at it, it looked at me. I blinked. Nope, still there. Pretty sure it’s real. Finally, it trundled off into the forest.

What.

I grabbed my cellphone, and called the tiny little police station in town (non-emergency number).

“So… I’m really tired, so please laugh at me and tell me to go home and sleep and ignore the call… but I’m pretty sure I just saw an ostrich on Highway xx just outside $town.”

She started laughing hysterically, then assured me that:

No, I’m not hallucinating.

There’s an ostrich and emu farm on the other side of town, guy raises them for the kitch places in town for meat.

Some drunk driver felt that “turns are for pussies”, went up, over the berm, through the fence, and through most of the barn.

There’s still 4 animals, including the one I just spotted, unaccounted for.

Where are you exactly, and which way did it go so we can round it up?

I gave her the info, finished the last few miles home, and died in bed. Wild night, man.”

15. This is crazy and sad.

“Someone I knew locally came across a jeep that had just crashed into the ditch on a highway at night, flipped on it’s top, wheels still turning kind of thing.

He was the first on scene so called 911 and ran down into the ditch. The driver, who was badly mangled, had been tossed from the car and was dying. This guy held him and the driver died in his arms.

The weirdest part of it all was that he found out the next day that it was his cousin, but he hadn’t been able to recognize him.”

Shudder…

Now we want to hear your stories!
