The things we do for love

Imagine this scenario… You want to do something nice for your partner, so you plan some time away with them. Even as a bonus, you organize and pay for their son to come too after plans fall through to have someone watch him. This is no short trip either; we're not talking about a three-day holiday over Memorial Day weekend or anything like that; we're talking about a full ten days. So, you book the tickets and pay for the accommodation—when you get there, your partner ditches you with their kid…

Live, laugh, love

Your kids should always come first in your life. But what if you secretly knew that you should stick to your child's schedule—including potty training—despite the fact that it would cause inconvenience to everyone around you? The original poster (OP) has a lovely 2-year-old daughter. OP and his husband recently decided that their little daughter was ready to begin potty training. At first, everything was going rather well, but all changed when their family took a vacation to Hawaii. Without any…

Not going to lie, we'd probably get emotional too

I love being Gen-X . It means I am old enough to remember a time when we didn't have the internet, the TV only had 3 channels, there were no cell phones and it was considered okay to just walk around your town looking for stuff to do. It makes me appreciate all the comforts of life we have today while also making me less anxious about life in general. people are so afraid of everything today but I still remember drinking from the garden hose and going to my friend's house without any actual way…

Friendship betrayals are legit like breakups. The pain you endure when you find out a friend has been talking badly of you behind your back is unlike anything else. A hurt bridesmaid took to r/aita to discuss an incident that had happened while she was accompanying her good friend to shop for wedding dresses. Her friend Shelly was getting married, and being the good friend she was, the bridesmaid came along to help her pick out a dress. Unfortunately, things quickly went south after Shelly hand…

Pawsitive vibes only

Welcome to the wild world of wonky trademarks , where the 'Just Do It' spirit gets a little lost in translation and designer logos take a detour into the absurd. Picture this: you're strolling down the market aisles when you spot something familiar yet unmistakably odd. It's a pair of 'Abibas' sneakers, complete with the iconic three stripes, but just a bit... off. Or maybe it's the 'Specialman' action figure, fighting for justice and the best bargain bin deal. These brand doppelgängers are the…

For every nosy neighbor, there's the one whose clever hijinks you can't help but admire. Here, we have a particularly private resident who did not enjoy the slim possibility of Peeping Toms getting a closer look at his backyard. Naturally, he decided that the best way to combat the new neighbors moving in next door was to install a tall fence to keep them out. Well, apparently, an eight-foot fence was too high for the local HOA to permit, so they tried to throw a ton of fees his way. That's whe…
