Am I Wrong for Banning My Husband From the Bedroom?

Pal, it looks like you’ll be spending some time on Sofa City.

Hey, it happens sometimes, right?

And a woman wants to know if she’s wrong for making her husband sleep elsewhere on Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page.

Let’s take a look at her story and see how people responded to it.

AITA For Barring My Husband From The Bedroom Tonight?

“So here is the situation.

Me: nurse. Working 50ish hours a week in pediatric ICU. Cry at least once a week because that sh*t is hard. My salary pays our bills. All of them.

Husband: 25M. Has a degree but isn’t looking for a job. Works 2 days a week at the grocery store. Spends most of his time playing LoL.

Btw all events here are in accordance with Covid Legislation.

Today was supposed to be A Good Day. I had been begging my husband to swap his Saturday shift to literally anything else so that we could have days off together. We haven’t had a weekend together since our wedding, 18mo ago.

Today was supposed to be our first Saturday off together. We were going to go to an animal sanctuary.

He starts the day by going to breakfast. With his best mate. Leaving before I even wake up. I wake up around 9 and realize he is not home. Call. He says he’s helping his mate set up some lights and that the weather is too rainy for the animal sanctuary anyway.

He gets home at 1 ish. Lies around. Plays some video games, promising we would cook dinner together tonight.

Leaves again at 5 to help the same mate with something else.

I go grocery shopping. I don’t drive because of medical issues, but I walk there and back in the rain. I get home, realize I’ve left my keys inside. Call husband, knowing he’s 5min away.

He says he will leave in a minute. I sit in the rain and the cold (southern hemisphere). 45 min later, I call again. He hasn’t left yet. He finally agrees to come and let me in the house, so he drives up, presses the clicker to let me in the garage and leaves again.

At 10, I I called to see where he is. His friend answers. Says he is driving out to do something an hour away.

It’s 10.30. I am going to bed. I have sent him a txt that I am upset and don’t want to speak to him tonight and would rather he left me alone.

As far as I am concerned, if he can’t value me more than his best mate on the first day off he and I have shared in a year and a half, he can go sleep in his bed instead. (Btw, his friend doesn’t work, so they hang out all the time when I am at work).

He is going to be upset. And he is gonna tell his mate and his mate is going to tell him I’m being a b*tch.

AITA

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

One person said she should ban him for longer than one night for his behavior.

Another Reddit user thinks that she might want to think about getting rid of the guy altogether…

Person Wonders if They Have a Right to Be Mad After Getting Patted Down at Their Sister’s Wedding

I can’t say I’ve ever heard this one before…

Getting patted down at a wedding? That’s a new one!

But it happened and the woman who went through it took to Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page to see if she was wrong for getting upset about it.

Take a look.

AITA for getting upset that my sister’s fiancé pulled me aside and patted me down at their wedding?

“The title sounds so stupid but here we go anyways.

I’m 24 and I’m an addict who has been in recovery for the past six months.

I used and used until I was basically in poverty and my older sister helped bail me out more than once.

She’s my best friend and I know it hurt her a lot to see me like that.

She also met her fiancé two years ago and he really only knew me as the junkie brother then. He’s not my biggest fan to say the least considering how much I put my sister through.

Despite this she still invited me to her wedding last week because I am her brother and she wanted me to be there.

When I get to the reception, my brother in law is greeting people as they walk in.

When I walk by he pulls me to the side and in front of everyone starts patting me down and says that he needs to check me to make sure I “didn’t bring anything in”. I instinctively pull away, because why wouldn’t I, and I tell him not to touch me.

He tells me to “calm down” and that if I want to be here then he needs to do this. I tell him he’s being ridiculous and I try to push past him. He stops me and tells me that he doesn’t want to throw me out but he “will if he has to.” I told him that he’s trying to look tough but it’s just making him look stupid.

At this point I’m getting more and more angry and I’m practically yelling in his face at this point. Bystanders came between us and separated us and told my BIL to just “drop it.” He said he would but that “they can deal with it when I get out of hand.”

I just went to go find a seat after that.

After the reception, a lot of my family told me that I should’ve let him just do it and that I was acting like a huge *sshole and like I had “something to hide.”

I don’t think he had any right to pat me down, especially in front of people and I don’t think my reaction was over the top. If anything, he was the one acting like a huge douche by trying to start drama so he can look tough. My sister has refused to take any sides in this.

AITA?”

And here’s how folks responded.

This reader said that the man’s reaction was totally out of line and he made a scene for no reason.

Another person pointed out that this could have been handled in so many different ways.

Another reader had a totally different opinion and said that everyone was to blame in this situation.

They pointed out that the woman has been violent in the past but it probably could have been handled differently.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another reader said that the woman is to blame for getting that angry and that addicts just can’t be trusted at all.

Photo Credit: Reddit

One reader made a great point: if they didn’t want the drama, they probably just shouldn’t have invited the woman in the first place.

Well, that sure was a weird one…

And now we want to get your take.

Was I Wrong for Kicking My Cousin off My Sister’s Wedding Zoom Call? Here’s How Folks Responded.

Family drama alert! And it’s comin’ in really hot!

And, because of the world we currently live in, we’re having family drama on Zoom! Of course, this was going to happen…

Anyway, take a look at this person’s story about what went down during a monumental zoom call and check out the reactions from Reddit users on the other side.

Let’s check it out.

AITA for kicking my cousin off of my sister’s wedding Zoom call?

“My [27M] older sister [30F] and her fiancé [31M] were planning for over a year for their wedding to be this month.

Obviously, they can’t have the wedding as planned, but they still would like to get married, so they decided on a “Zoom” wedding where all of the family/friends would just call in to watch the officiant, my sister, and her fiancé.

My sister didn’t want to be in charge of hosting the Zoom call because she thought it would stress her out, so she asked me to and I gladly accepted.

She and her fiancé decided to invite everyone they originally wanted to, and it was a very big list. When we were going over the list, my sister mentioned to me that she wanted everyone else to be muted for the majority of the wedding as she was worried that others would talk over her and her fiancé and quote “overshadow” them on their big day “that was already scaled down”.

However, her and her fiancé said that I should unmute everyone at one point so everyone could talk and have a nice time with each other.

Fast-forward to the day of the wedding—everyone is muted during the ceremony which goes great, and so I then unmute everyone and ask to please raise a hand if they’d like to talk so it doesn’t get confusing. My cousin (around my age) starts waving his hand crazily, and he’s with his longtime girlfriend (also similar age I guess).

He’s a very gregarious guy, so I was not surprised. Then, he says stuff like “(my sister) and (her husband) are such an inspiration, it’s given me the courage to do this….” then turns to his girlfriend and pulls out a box that is the size of an engagement ring box??

I immediately saw this as him trying to steal the spotlight (something that he’s done since we were kids, ex: he would secretly mess up my sister and I’s drawings if the adults would praise ours) and booted him off of the call.

Then I quickly announced that my cousin had technical difficulties and would not be joining again. Everyone else accepted this and went about talking, and my sister and her husband did too.

The rest of the wedding went smoothly—except for the fact that my cousin kept texting me angrily saying that he finally wanted to propose as a surprise with family all around and I ruined it.

My aunt and uncle texted me the same. AITA??”

And here’s what people on Reddit had to say about what happened…

This person praised the Lord Almighty that the cousin was banished from the call!

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another Reddit user said that the person did the right thing for their sister…and I’m inclined to agree with them.

Photo Credit: Reddit

A reader said that it’s a good thing the wedding was on Zoom, because if the cousin had pulled this in-person it could have been a lot worse.

A reader commented that people who make these kinds of huge gestures on someone else’s special day are 100% wrong all the time.

A Waitress Asked if She Was a Jerk for Refusing to Return a Tip to a Customer

Waiters and waitresses really have to put up with a lot of bullsh*t, don’t they?

The folks who work in the back of the house in restaurants have their own sets of problems, but those who are out front and center have to deal with all the drama from customers…and you better believe that there is plenty of it.

A waitress shared a story on Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page about dealing with certain customers that frankly sounds like kind of a nightmare.

Let’s take a look.

AITA for refusing to return a tip AND telling a couple that I don’t have time to play mediator?

“I’m a 22 year old, female waitress at Texas Roadhouse. This is one of my two jobs to put myself through college. Most days are fine but other days are a living hell.

Yesterday I was assigned a table that had a husband, wife and what appeared to be a teenage daughter (maybe 17). Everything was going smooth at first and the wife ordered a margarita. The husband then tried ordering a beer. The wife instantly lost her noodles and said “Uh, no. He will not have a beer. He will have a water.”

She then turned to him and said something along the lines of him not needing to drink because he was driving. He said no, the daughter could drive. It was childish.

Anyways, he keeps telling me he wants a beer. She keeps telling me no. In this industry, situations like this are a lose/lose for waitresses. If I get him the beer, wife wont tip. If I dont get him the beer, he wont tip. D*mned if I do, d*mned if I dont. So while they were arguing AT me, I said “Listen, I really dont have time to play mediator here.”

They went silent. I went and got both of them their alcohol. Daughter gives me an apologetic look upon my return, presumably because her mother was acting batsh*t crazy upon seeing me bring a beer in tow.

Flash forward to after their meals. Husband has had 2 beers at this point. Wife has stopped drinking and glares at me everytime I return. Wife and daughter go to the car while husband pays. Husband drops me a $40 tip on a $68 tab. I told him I couldnt accept it. He insisted. Eventually I pocketed it.

Wife comes in an hour or so later demanding that I give her the $40 her husband gave me, stating that I was a terrible host and went against her and I dknt deserve a tip.

She got my manager involved who said “She is not obligated to give you her tip. You left the restaurant and the tip has already been processed. Have a nice night.” She was fuming, screaming at me about how much of an AH I was for supplying her husband alcohol after she said no.

Other guests started chiming in saying that she was being ignorant and that I was doing my job, which is to provide guests with what they want and said that it wasnt MY fault that she was a controlling wife. She storms out.

Given the fact that I was put on the spot like that, I feel insanely guilty. AITA?”

And here’s what people had to say about her story.

One person brought up how bad they feel for the couple’s child.

Another person said the woman did the exact right thing in this strange situation.

This individual said there is absolutely no way the woman was wrong in this situation.

And this person pointed out that she was just doing her job and that she didn’t do anything wrong.

Finally, this Reddit user said that they also feel sorry for the husband in this situation.

The wife sounds like a real treat, huh…?

Am I a Jerk for Being Mad at My Husband Who Was Going to Give $10,000 to His Sister Without Asking Me? Here’s What People Said.

When money gets involved in any situation, things can go off the rails in a hurry.

And this story is a doozy.

A woman shared her story on the “Am I the *sshole” forum on Reddit to ask the readers there if she was wrong for getting mad at her husband for going behind her back to give a family member A LOT of money.

Here’s how it all went down…

AITA For being mad at my husband who was going to give away $10,000 to his sister without even asking me about it?

“On Saturday morning, I noticed my husband was sending a lot of text messages back and forth. He is usually not much of a texter. He left the phone next to me to charge while he as in the other room.

The phone kept lighting up with text messages when I decided to open it up to see what the big discussion was about.

I know some couples view it as big breach of trust to read through a significant other’s phone, but my husband and I do it regularly so this was not a huge invasion of privacy on my end. We both have nothing to hide and it has never been an issue before.

Anyway, of course I saw something on the phone that I shouldn’t have that got me upset. For background, my husband is 34, I am 32, and his sister is 31 (she’s in this story). Husband and I have been together for 10 years, married for the last four years.

We are all college educated with jobs now. My husband and I each make good salaries around $150k each. We own our house. I still have about $60,000 in student loans I am working to pay off (luckily low interest rates so I just pay the minimum).

We have about $40k liquid in savings. So we are doing good financially but still need to build up more savings as we will probably try to start a family in the next 1-2 years and want to be prepared for an emergency and have a rainy day fund. Anyway, my husband’s sister is trying to buy a 1 bedroom apartment in NYC.

I saw in the text messages that my husband offered to give her $10,000 for her down payment. The money is our savings is OUR money. Our bank accounts are 100% combined. My husband manages 99% of the finances because I prefer not to deal with it. However, it is understood we consult each other regularly on major purchases.

He did not ask me if I was OK with him giving this money to his sister. She didn’t ask, he offered. I immediately confronted him (calmly) and was like, “Hey – Did you tell your sister you would give her $10,000?” He said yes. I asked him when he was going to tell me.

He said, he probably wasn’t. He figured I wouldn’t notice and said he didn’t think I would care about “the details”. I said, “Um, do you think $10,000 is a detail?” He said, “No, that is lot of money. I should have told you about it. Are you OK with it?” I said, “No, I don’t think I am.”

Anyway we decided in that moment not to give the money. He said he would tell his sister and she would understand. He wanted the issue to go away after that.

But I am still mad. I said this was a big breach of trust. I let him control all finances because I trust him to never, ever take advantage of my ignorance. Shouldn’t you be able to trust your husband?

So now, I don’t have that full amount of trust I had before and I want to open my own bank account (which frankly, I should have anyway). But AITA for being totally upset and feeling betrayed about this?

I grew up poor and $10,000 is a ton of money to me (I mean, to most people right?!). I am horrified he would consider gifting it away and not even telling me.

Wow…let’s see what folks on Reddit said about this.

This person didn’t think the woman was wrong at all for being angry at her husband.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another person made a good point: what else has her husband done with their money…?

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another reader called the husband’s actions “a lie by omission”, and I think they’re right about that.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This Reddit user called it “financial infidelity.” I’ve never heard that one before…

Photo Credit: Reddit

And finally, this reader said that $10,000 is a huge chunk of money and that the woman and her husband might want to think about getting separate accounts after this incident because there are clearly some trust issues here…

Now we want to get your take on the situation.

Do you think this woman was justified in her anger or did she overreact?

People Share Uses and Features of Products That You Might Not Be Familiar With

I never realized until the last year or so how many uses gasoline has.

Gasoline!

I mean, besides putting it in my car and making it go…but I’m assuming you already know about that one.

My point is, that a lot of products we use can be used for all kinds of different stuff.

What are some uses and features of common products that a lot of people don’t know about?

Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about this.

1. Free air!

“Most gas station coin operated air compressors have a button on the back.

Press this button three times and the pump starts automatically.”

2. Good one!

“Baby onesies have the overlap at the shoulders so you can pull it down the kids and off if they have a diaper blow out.

So much better than trying to get a sh*t covered onesie over their head.

I’m so annoyed that I found out about this after I was done with the baby stage.”

3. Warm it up!

“There’s sometimes a “warming” drawer underneath some ovens. Looks like a regular cabinet/skirting that people overlook.

Obviously depends on what kind of oven and where it’s positioned, but is quite common in UK households, especially with smaller kitchens.”

4. Perfect portions.

“Most spaghetti forks (that funky utensil you use to pick up cooked spaghetti) have one large round hole in the center.

Aside from helping it drain, it is also sized to be exactly one serving of uncooked spaghetti.”

5. Very handy!

“Find parking function on Google Maps.

When you park in a stadium or airport parking lot or a city you unfamiliar with: Open Google Maps, hit bullseye (location) then the blue dot.

Pinpoints location and gives option to add notes for garage level etc.”

6. Make your life a little easier.

“Many dustpans for brooms have a jagged section for scraping clumps of hair off the broom bristles.

I didn’t know this for the longest time but since I figured it out it’s made sweeping up all the fur in the house much easier!”

7. Saves time!

“Vegetable peelers work in both directions.

Most of the time you don’t have to lift them up, you can just go all the way back and keep peeling.”

8. Brilliant!

“Soda cans.

The tab can be turned around and used to hold a straw in place after popping open the can.”

9. For foggy driving.

“If your vehicle has fog lights, (those lights on the bottom of your bumper), those lights are meant for driving in fog.

A simple experiment, go out at night, stop your car, turn your low beams on, fog lights off, see where your eyes are drawn to. Now, turn your fog lights on, and watch your eyes get drawn to a point closer to your vehicle. You can actually see less when you have your fog lights on, when it isn’t foggy.

I think vehicles shouldn’t even have fog lights, because the majority of people don’t seem to understand them.”

10. Booyah!

“You can lift the silverware basket OUT of the dishwasher to put away your utensils or make more space if you don’t have utensils to wash that round.”

11. Just in case.

“Not sure if this has been posted but your seatbelt buckle is designed to break your car window if and when underwater or trapped in the vehicle.”

12. Find the leak.

“If you think you have a leak in your house, shut off everything inside. Even the washer.

Go outside to your water meter. All water meters have a spinning shape that signifies when water is going through.

So if everything is shut off in the house and the shape is spinning you have a leak.”

13. And then there’s this…

“If you put a toothbrush to the the top of your vibrator, it’s a free vibrating toothbrush.”

Do you know about any cool uses or features for products?

If so, please tell us about them in the comments.

Thanks a lot!

Mothers-in-Law Shared Their Crazy Stories About Daughters-in-Law

We always hear about “crazy mother-in-law” stories, but now the tables are about to be turned, everyone!

Because it’s time for the mothers-in-law out there to let loose on the daughters-in-law of the world and tell us how those younger women can also be nuts sometimes.

This should be fun!

Let’s dig into some crazy stories about daughters-in-law from mothers-in-law from AskReddit users.

1. Wish they’d never met.

“We lived on the other side of the country from them so we didn’t have many visits — one or two a year. When we visited, all was well — the house was clean, the kids were cared for, etc. She was fun to be around.

However, once we left, life went back to “normal” for my son and grandkids. She would say she was going to the store and would not come home for 2 to 4 days. She did drugs. She did not clean — anything.

My son traveled for business and when he was gone she had many different men in the house. He would come home to a trashed house, trashed car, trashed everything. She would put the kids to bed, then leave to party. She kept the two oldest kids home from school when he traveled — she was too busy sleeping from partying all night to take them to school.

As he was making plans to leave her and take the kids, she killed the youngest child and is now in jail awaiting trial. all of this came out after she died. I wish they had never met.”

2. Hateful.

“When I first met her, she was a tweaker.

She knew I knew and she hated me. Now she stays home and knits and crafts and I have not seen my grandson in 3 years.

She still hates me.”

3. Walking out.

“My DEL decided, after years of manipulating my son, to walk out on him and their two kids.

A few hours later she changes her mind and bombards him with all kinds of cr*p for a week. And then she gains access to the house when he’s out and changes the locks causing him and their two young kids to be homeless.

She sucks!”

4. A tight leash.

“The stories I’ve heard of my aunt’s DIL are the worst. She’s kept my cousin on a tight leash after marriage.

Banned my aunt from communicating with him from any social media acct. It’s so bad whenever my cousin happens to see my aunt he acts like he doesn’t know her.

All this due to the DIL. Just hurts to see my aunt not see her own grandkids.”

5. I’ll take it from here.

“I will respond for my mother.

She hates the fact that her daughter in law does not respond to phone calls or texts. She understands that she is a new mom but how long does it take to reply to a text message.

I also want to add that she’s turned the holidays from a casual wear you PJs & bust out your paper plates into a sit down event with formal place settings. I don’t enjoy getting together to eat with my family during Thanksgiving and Christmas anymore.

This year I was at least smart enough to bring salt packets.”

6. Sounds like a real treat.

“My sons GF practically lives with us. After she graduates from college they will get married.

Things I HATE: I text him; she responds like she’s him.

We are doing major renovations on the house. She didn’t help AT ALL. I understand if renovation is not your thing. But I was running in and out of the house switching laundry and cleaning up little messes.

She didn’t even offer to help.”

7. Scary lady.

“Happened to a friend. Her brother married this girl who was his college friend.

Very happy, have a baby girl… Suddenly her father passed away so her mother went to stay with son and DIL. At first she was ok. But after like a month, DIL started to lock the fridge ( in india fridges come with internal locks) and pantry doors.

She started cutting down MIL’s food. When my friend came to know about this, we went to her brothers place, packed her mom’s stuff and brought her back to my friends house.

Scary lady that DIL. Brother didn’t say sh*t to his wife.”

8. A real catch.

“I’m gonna speak for my aunt: my cousin is a party guy. He married a party girl.

I met her the day of my grandfather’s funeral. She was dressed like Betty Boop; too much makeup and balloon-sized fake t*ts in a sheer, black tube dress stretched too far for the imagination. She was sitting at my grandparents’ table as I walked bleary-eyed into the kitchen for a bowl of cereal; half-awake, I barely stopped myself from exclaiming “what the f*ck!?”

After the funeral, we held a sort of Irish wake at my uncle’s house, whereupon she tried to hook up with every male cousin, one-by-one asking them to do shots with her. I avoided her, so I was last. She got to me when I was having a beer in the driveway with two other cousins. One she’d already tried. She went to my more attractive cousin-in-law first.

He shot her down with “The Mother. Of. My. Newborn. Child. Is. Inside.” (I like him) I’m less assertive, so I tried the “if you ignore bullies, they’ll get bored and leave you alone.” She tried grinding up and down my front. I ignored her and hoped she would leave me alone. She moved around to try slithering up and down my back. I pretended she wasn’t there. She slithered down my back one last time, and then-She bit my *ss.

I hopped across the driveway doing the Goofy yell. I honestly don’t remember what happened after that. Somehow she left. I had a dental impression in purple bruise on my *ss cheek the next morning. Let me remind you, this was my grandfather’s funeral.

I’m told that the morning of their wedding, my aunt offered to pay for 100% of the wedding if he wanted to back out.”

9. Let’s mix it up a little bit.

“How about a crazy daughter, son-in-law story?

So I have one daughter who at 20 “came out” to me. As gay? No. As a polygamist. A pregnant one. Pregnant by a 40 year old dude with a wife and three grown kids. I was 44 at the time. Long story short, the original wife got sick of all the crazy and left.

Now my daughter and the son in law are monogamous with five kids and I have a son-in-law who is 4 years younger than me.”

10. On behalf of my mother.

“I’m writing on behalf of my mother.

My SIL is a lazy, obnoxious cow. She hasn’t worked in 10 years, while my brother works 60 hrs a week minimum. Even though she gets an allowance for being a stay at home mum, that goes to cigarettes and until recently a sh*tload of pot. My brother went years without a birthday/Christmas/fathers day card or gift from her. (Like… not even a card?!?!)

So my mum used to come down for weeks at a time whenever my SIL was ‘unwell’ (read: withdrawing). Last year, my mum bought my brother a big, expensive, kick *ss birthday present. He’s worth it, we always try n show him what he’s worth. Well, Mrs SIL chucked a wobbly. “You need to stop buying him sh*t, or you n me will be having words OUT THE FRONT!!”

Mum looked dead at her, “you wanna beat me up because I treat your husband better than you?!” That’s just one story.”

11. Almost there.

“Not a DIL yet (my stepsons girlfriend and mother of my 2 grand babies) but I’m 19 years younger than my husband but 12 years older than my stepson.

She thinks I want to sleep with my stepson ( never gave her any reason to think this, I do not want to). She keeps the babies from us, rarely we get to see them unless of course she has a circumstance that were her only option for a babysitter. We’ve tried very hard to have a good relationship but she just hates me.

I once even stopped by their house to visit, she was cordial but my stepson got an earful when he got home from work. Just sad all around- she doesn’t want us in their lives.”

Okay, all the ladies out there, it’s your time to shine!

Do you have any crazy stories about your mother-in-law or your daughter-in-law?

What Product Has a Feature or a Use Not Everyone Is Aware Of? Here’s What People Said.

You might just learn something today

How many times have you heard that in your life from a parent or a teacher?

Well, today it’s gonna come true! Because a bunch of people weighed in on an AskReddit question that we think will be of interest to a bunch of you.

AskReddit folks talked about uses and features for products that you might not know about.

1. That’s helpful.

“Baking soda is really good at removing baked on grease and soap scum.”

2. What?!?!

“When you are writing in Microsoft word or Outlook and accidentally leave caps lock on, select the text and press Shift F3.

It will change the text between upper and lower case, and there’s a third option to make the first letter of each word upper case too.

Always seems to blow peoples minds when I tell them.”

3. Be careful with that.

“With many car key remotes, you can make all the windows go down at once by pushing the “unlock” button 3 times.

I learned this the hard way, sat on my keys, all my windows and sunroof openned in the middle of a snowstorm.”

4. Use it!

“GoJo hand cleaner (the white gelatinous goop mechanics use) is a great for removing oily/greasy stains from clothes.

Rub it in with a retired toothbrush before you toss it in the washer. I’ve found it works a little better than dish soap.”

5. A lot of people don’t know this.

“Most ceiling fans have a switch to reverse direction of the blades.

Set to clockwise at low speed in winter for an updraft that redistributes warmed air at the ceiling downward.

Then switch to counter-clockwise at higher speed in summer to create a cooling downdraft.”

6. I had no idea!

“There’s a part at the end of a stapler where you can reverse so the staples bend out instead of in.

It’s a less permanent stapling that is easier to remove by hand.”

7. Take that thing off.

“Oven doors come off.

Just open till the first stop and pull straight up.

I don’t know how many people i’ve seen stretching to clean the back.”

8. Shortcuts.

“YouTube hotkeys

K – toggles pause/play on the video no matter where you last clicked on the page (except the URL bar)

The buttons to either side of it, J and L, skip forward or back by 10 seconds.

The arrow keys skip forward and back by 5 seconds.

The number keys skip you to whichever tenth of the video they correspond to (“0″ to go to the start)

M is mute, and C toggles the captions.”

9. Okay!

“Rubbing alcohol kills bed bugs.

Actually it kills most spiders and bugs, dries fast too so you don’t have to worry about a pet or kid getting sick.”

10. Use it or lose it.

“There are push in tabs on most aluminum foil and plastic wrap boxes to keep the roll from falling out.”

11. You never know…

“If you get kidnapped and stuffed in the trunk of a modern car, there is an emergency trunk release lever to help you escape.”

12. Ahhhh…

“The swtch on your car’s rear view mirror is to toggle between day/night-time driving.

It’s meant to dim the glare of headlights behind you.”

13. The more you know…

“Coffee cup lids have that small hole at the back to avoid you creating a vacumm when you take a sip.

It allows the air to flow and stops you getting a big glug of hot coffee down your front.

I always make sure the hole is open and not melted shut and people are often confused why I do it.”

People Talk About Red Flags to Look Out for That Signal You Should Drop a Class

I remember I tried to take Biology 101 not once, but twice, and about two weeks in BOTH TIMES I realized it seemed like I was taking a foreign language class and I decided to drop them.

I don’t know why I bothered the second time…maybe I’m not too bright…

Anyway, you gotta keep your eyes and ears open when you start a class so you can be aware of the warning signs that you should probably get the hell out of there.

What are some red flags that should make you want to drop a class ASAP?

Here’s what people on AskReddit had to say about this.

1. Nope.

“Assigning an unreasonable amount of classwork because, “you should treat my class like your only class.”

That is the only time I ever dropped a class, and after talking to my classmates who stayed in.

I made the right call.”

2. Biased.

“When the lecturer constantly tries to find ways to plug their ideology when it’s tangentially related, at best.”

3. William who?

“I signed up for a Shakespeare course.

In the first class, the professor talked about himself the entire time and didn’t utter the name Shakespeare once.

I dropped it that night and signed up for Chaucer instead.”

4. Oh, great…

“At the end of the semester, I’ll grade all your work and then you’ll see your grade.”

5. Enough of that!

“In art and design classes, if the teacher focuses more on what you write about your art than developing your skills, they have no clue what they’re talking about.

Unless your work ends up in displays and museums (unlikely) then nobody is going to care about the 3 page essay of bullsh*t you made up about metaphors.

Your teacher is just a pretentious *sshole who doesn’t actually know what they’re doing.”

6. Bored to tears.

“When the teacher is really, really f*cking boring and clearly doesn’t give a sh*t.

It’s hard to learn well if you don’t have a teacher that tries to do their job well. Here, it’s not so much about the lesson, more about a teacher who cannot do their job.

It’s good to know things, but in order to teach them well you need more than that.”

7. A real charmer.

“I had a low level math class as a Freshman in college where the professor said we were “retarded” for not being able to get in to a higher level math course, and that he would learn us real good

. Yeah, I knew I was going to major in History, this was just a gen ed requirement.

Dropped that class after a week.”

8. Okay, I’ll leave.

“I had an intro to chemistry teacher write some equation on the board and say, “if you don’t understand what that means, you should leave this class now.”

I thought for a minute, then grabbed my things and left. On the way out he said, “Wow, no one has every actually left.”

My friend who stayed in the class studied his tail off and got a C. He now has a degree in chemical engineering, and still says that particular chemistry class was one of the hardest he’s ever had.”

9. That’s not good.

“The professor starts making v*gina jokes and professing the moral superiority of a specific race.”

10. That sucks.

“Professors that have a clear bias. I had one that wanted to know everyone’s political affiliations. Who they voted for, if they supported a party, etc. That was the first day.

After that she spent the rest of the semester looking at anyone that didn’t tell her who they voted for that they better vote a certain way. Grades reflected this.

My Bio teacher spent a good portion of lecture on tangents about her personal life, her kid, her business. It was pointless to go but attendance counted. Some questions on her exams included her personal sh*t. It was my final semester so I didn’t give a sh*t at that point.

11. Treat me like an adult.

“If the professor has a policy that you automatically fail if you show up late or miss too many classes.

I’m an adult. Sometime stuff comes up with work or my wife. No college class is that important.

Ironically, the professor with that policy was always showing up late and canceling class.”

12. Cashing in.

“”The book is required. I wrote it. It is spectacularly expensive. I update it a little every year, so a used copy will not be adaquate.”

F*cker is getting paid at both ends.”

Okay, now it’s your turn.

What’s Your Most Glaring “I’m Turning Into My Parents” Moment? People Responded.

Oh, boy, here we go…

Backing up into parking spaces. Filling the water in the coffee machine the night before so it will be ready in the morning. Getting to the airport four hours before my flight.

These are all things that I’ve found myself doing over the past couple of years…and it suddenly dawned on me that I’M TURNING INTO MY FATHER.

Which isn’t a bad thing. My dad’s a cool guy, but I definitely used to laugh at the kind of stuff that he did when I was younger…but here we are, people!

When did you realize that you were turning into your parents?

Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about this.

1. Gotta do it yourself.

“When I was cleaning the kitchen and didn’t want anyone else to help because I felt like it wouldn’t be done right.”

2. Dad joke!

“There is a shower in my basement that no one ever uses.

There are a couple dead bugs in it that I’ve never bothered to clean up. When our niece came to stay with us for a few days, she planned to stay in the basement.

My wife asked why I hadn’t cleaned the dead bugs out of the shower, I opened my mouth and heard my dad say, “They go with the decor.””

3. Uh oh…

“The first time I yelled at a kid that biked across my lawn I was 23…

The realization hit me like a brick wall..”

4. Caught yourself.

“Yelled at my kid and at the same time saw myself out the corner of my eye in the mirror.

I was yelling something my dad used to yell at me, and I look a lot like him.

I hated it when I was a kid, and immediately apologized to my kid.”

5. You’re doing it all wrong!

“I rearrange the plates in the dishwasher if my boyfriend put them “wrong” so I can do full loads and use up all the space.”

6. What the hell do you think you’re doing?

“Getting annoyed when my roommate was throwing Tupperware lids and containers into the cupboard without ANY organization.”

7. Lights out.

“When I went thru my house the other day, yelling to my two young kids, “When you leave a room, turn the LIGHTS OFF!! This costs money!!”

I’ve officially become my dad.”

8. A nice night in.

“Going grocery shopping or folding laundry on a Friday/Saturday night.

Thinking 8pm is too late to leave the house to do anything.

In my defense it IS a pandemic, so not much to do otherwise.

It’s also winter, and I’m pregnant.. so maybe I’ll be cool again someday.”

9. I was worried…

“Last night, when I got worried because my fiancé was 5 minutes late coming home from the gym and I caught myself saying “I can’t help it, I worry about you.”

Bam, I have become my mother.”

10. Oh, this looks nice!

“When I get takeout sometimes I think, this is a nice container I’m gonna keep this and add it to my Tupperware.”

11. An early riser.

“My parents were always early risers.

On Sunday they’re up and banging around in the kitchen by 7am. They made enough racket that even though we had a pretty big house that they’d always wake me up. Always pissed me off.

When i moved out six years ago i thought “finally, I’ll be able to sleep in.” But i can’t. Even without an alarm, on vacation, I’m awake by 7-7:30. If I’m really exhausted i might be able to sleep in until ALMOST 8:30, but no later.

It’s advantageous in a lot of ways but just once in a while I’d like to sleep in.”

12. No clutter allowed.

“I no longer tolerate clutter.

This past week alone, I sorted out the spice cabinet to the degree that I ended up trashing about 50 vials of expired herbs, spices and sauces, the oldest of which was a bottle of soy from 2013. It was a long overdue task and normally I HATE doing anything resembling housework but LAWDY, it was immensely satisfying to see everything neat, tidy and easily accessible.

I also have started a binder/folder system to store all important documents that were building up on the overstuffed noticeboard, I’m about to tackle the hoard of books under the coffee table and sometime during the weekend, I might even clear out the medicine cabinet.

I also spotted a box of “Microwave Cleaner” on sale in the store today and my first thought was “ooh, €1.50 a box! That’ll be handy.”

I can’t believe I’m saying this but doing housework has made me feel so much more productive in this pandemic along with giving my depression a bit of a kick up the arse.

It’s not an outright cure-all but I’m more happy going to bed exhausted by a busy day and feeling accomplished by the end of it rather than lying awake all night lamenting the fact that I’ve wasted my waking hours once again.”

13. Now I get it…

“I started falling asleep during movies.

I used to get so mad at my mom for doing that, but now I have a job and I understand why.”
