Here are the original “how to” lists, unfortunately Some of the responses take the high road, taking the view that being considerate, developing respectable housekeeping skills and not talking over women or ordering them around are a better starting point for “how to be a man” because they fall under “how to be a decent person.” We also like the more surreal takes… following those instructions would be a good way to deal with people like the guy who wrote the original lists, especially the sword fighting part....

Oh, that heart-clenching moment of dropping when you drop a piece of your favorite food on the floor! You drop to the floor yourself, trying desperately to pick it up as quickly as possible only to save it from those nasty germs. And yes sure, you’re fully aware that your efforts are bottom line pointless as there’s probably not a huge difference whether you pick it up in 5 seconds or in 6....

Living next to a hospital has to be one of the most convenient and challenging things, especially when the boundary between medical facility and residential space is blurred. For today’s Original Poster (OP), who lived in a unique apartment complex, this blurred line led to an unexpected and unwelcome intrusion on what should have been a private sanctuary after discovering that hospital visitors had been routinely occupying their patio.

If you’ve ever watched Titanic and thought, “Sure, I’d live in that vibe,” Sarah Boll took it several steps further. The Manhattan-based model transformed her Chinatown two-bedroom rental into what’s essentially a walk-through movie set: portholes glowing “ocean” blue, gilded details, and a living room styled after the ship’s Verandah Café, right down to the moody lighting and period-inspired décor. And then there’s the part that really sells the illusion: fabric....

Imagine if some of the most renowned brands were forced to team up with their biggest rivals and produce a new company logo that’s a hybrid of the two. DesignCrowd ran a contest asking its community to do exactly that. It asked them to find high-resolution images of competing brand logos, and to then re-design them, to create a logo that’s a mixture of the two. Which entry is your favorite?...

Support and respect are crucial in building a happy marriage. As long as two people find balance and look after each other, their bond can flourish and blossom into a beautiful relationship. But if there’s no appreciation, let alone consideration for a much-needed sense of independence, things can quickly go sideways. Something that Redditor DorothyNoBrickRoad experienced firsthand when she simply searched for more meaning in her life. Two days ago, the 21-year-old woman reached out to the AITA community, wondering if she was being unreasonable for looking for a job....

There’s a reason that our partner turns into an “ex,” and after it happens, we don’t really want them around, do we? Much less, have them snooping around in our house behind our backs because god knows what they get up to. Even the original poster (OP) was skeptical when her ex-husband kept insisting that she take his stepson to use the bathroom in her house . She’s not stupid, so obviously, she figured out that there was some ulterior motive and refused....

I think it’s safe to say that Norah Jones wasn’t picturing something like this when she sang about the sunrise in our eyes. Photography enthusiast Elias Chasiotis had spent the last days of 2019 in Qatar and they were definitely worth the trip. You see, during one of these days, a solar eclipse was underway as the Sun began rising above the horizon, making it look like a devil rising from the waters....

When we care about someone, we tend to accept them as they are—flaws and all. That’s part of what love is. But even love has its limits, especially when your partner starts acting less like an adult and more like someone who needs constant supervision. These Redditors shared the exact moments they realized they were dating someone who couldn’t function in the real world—and let’s just say, some of these stories are jaw-dropping....

If there’s one universal truth any employee can relate to, it must be griping away about horrible bosses. As much as we yearn for a solid leader to guide us and let us prosper in the workplace, not everyone is lucky enough to have one. The corporate world is full of patronizing, micromanaging, and toxic managers who regularly go on power trips that benefit no one. In fact, this is the very reason many employees are handing in their resignation letters....

What is the reason for a long-term friendship falling apart ? There are situations when people simply “lose” each other after, for example, moving many miles away, and sometimes, life values and priorities change. Sometimes it happens that two people who were so “inseparable” before finally quarrel because of political overtones… But very often, just agree, friendships fall apart because of romantic relationships. For example, when friends find themselves involved in a kind of love triangle and one of the parties has to step aside, thereby losing both love and friendship....

Taylor Swift has a “tailored” workout routine so intense that, according to her personal trainer, Kirk Myers, it would leave most people barfing on the gym floor if they tried it.

To meet the demands of her energy-packed Eras Tour , the singer needed to be in great physical shape and had a carefully crafted workout regimen so she could powerfully belt out and dance to the 44 hit songs that make up the concert’s setlist....

The key factor that drives us to eat is, of course, hunger. But what we choose to consume is largely determined by our preferences. For this redditor’s guest, the enemy was broccoli. Unfortunately for him, the host wasn’t going to cater to his aversion, causing a whole fight over a vegetable. Scroll down to find the full story and a conversation with etiquette consultants Karen Thomas and Julia Esteve Boyd , who kindly agreed to tell us more about food preferences and guests....

Growing up, home-cooked meals were few and far between in my household. Not because my parents were incapable of cooking , but simply because the value of a meal made from scratch was completely lost on my brothers and I. Why spend hours chopping fresh veggies and baking extravagant casseroles if we were perfectly content eating frozen peas, boxed mashed potatoes and rolls that came from a can? Redditors have recently been discussing the foods that they ate growing up but rarely or never have today, so we’ve gathered some of their “ nostalgia meals " down below....

People process childhood trauma differently. Some are lucky enough to be unaffected by it as they grow into adulthood. However, others have an altered perception of what is normal. The realization eventually comes later in life, and it can be as sobering as a splash of cold water in the face.
