We wander through life surrounded by so many people all jockeying for position based on their own motivations. Hopefully, we try to be kind to each other throughout the whole chaotic mess.

But things happen. People get slighted, forgotten, or plain abused by others. It's sucks, and we'd better accept that possibility if we plan to stay sane at all.


Ideally, we move one after someone steps on our toes. We might even forgive. If not, life afterwards is spent carrying just a little extra weight.

Unfortunately, we don't always behave ideally. Sometimes, we fester and hold grudges even when it's not in our best interest.

After all, we're emotional beings with a reptilian core in our brain. Old habits die hard and we act on impulse all the time.

Sleep With One Eye Open, Ashley

"In 8th grade, Ashley stole my really nice lipstick that I'd saved up for. And the color didn't even look good on her."

A Very Bold Guest

"I hadn't been home all day, just got off work and was just burnt out."

"My roommate invited two friends over to hang out and drink some wine in the kitchen which was in the same area as the living room (open floor plan)."

"I didn't wanna join so said I was just gonna relax with my dinner and watch my show - we are both fine with this plan."

"Anyways, I'm sitting there watching my show (at a normal volume) minding my own business and one of her friends starts complaining about 'the atmosphere not being fun' and saying she was bothered that she could hear my show."

"I ignored it and pretended I couldn't hear it and my roommate asked her friend if it was too loud and her friend said 'it isn't loud but I just don't wanna hear it at all you know? It's girls night.'"

"She asks me to turn it down so I say sure and turn it down a few clicks."

"This girl then walks over, grabs the remote AND TURNS OFF THE TV. Then lectures me about how 'it's rude to watch TV while people are socializing' and says I need to just get over myself and be social."

"Bi*** WTF?! THIS IS MY HOUSE - YOU DON'T LIVE HERE, AND IT IS A WEDNESDAY."

"It's been years and my petty ass still gets pissed thinking about it haha"

An Eternal Lesson

"How social networking and likability will generally advance your career faster than competence and work ethic will."

"Not in all cases or careers, but I used to be bitter watching brown nosers and yes-men shoot past me while I thought my work ethic would speak for itself."

-- New_Game_P1us

"One of my school principals told a pupil in my class to write down everything questionable that I said/did over the course of a month and submit it to her without my knowledge."

"The snitch submitted her letter and the teacher straight away mailed it to my mom and dad."

-- Mahershalalhashbazz

An Unfortunate Likeness

"Someone told me they thought I was attractive because I look like Ed Sheeran."

"A second someone told me Ed Sheeran was better looking than me."

"Now, I don't think I'm God's gift to your retinas, but I neither look like that butt gnome, nor look worse than that butt gnome."

"I look like Rupert Grint's and Matt Mercer's love child not Ed pubic beard Sheeran."

"Game of Thrones last season. It's like eating the best meal of your life and then you find a piece of sh** in it" -- IammYourDAD

"I always think about how much money that series must have lost in 'the entire series'-DVD sales. Like, based on seasons 1-6, buying the entire series was going to be absolutely mandatory for me."

"Probably 150 bucks or more for the whole show on blu-ray and probably a couple more formats in the future and I would have been happy to buy it."

"Then that series ended with an absolute dumpster fire. I will never buy a single season of that show on any format, never mind the entire thing. And I doubt I'm alone in that." -- BigNikiStyle

"This was six months ago and I'm still mad."

-- FriendlySlytherin

Don't Choke

"When I was 9 we had swim class and I was a very good swimmer for my age."

"To pass the final test we had to do some swimming underwater. I misheard what we had to do and did it wrong, I also went first so no one to compare it too."

"The swim teacher fails me and does not let me do it again. However the poor swimmers who were physically unable to do it got to retake it."

Ralph Fiennes Got Absolutely Shredded For His Next Film Role—And Fans Are Impressed

You really have to hand it to method actors: when they commit to a role, it seems like there's nothing they won't do to become the character they're portraying on the screen or stage.

Ralph Fiennes, for example, is no stranger to method acting. Back when he worked on Schindler's List as Amon Goeth, Steven Spielberg commented on his commitment to the part, both studying historical documents and published diary entries and gaining weight for the part.

Mike Johnson Just Tried To Blame Medicaid Cuts On Video Games—And It Didn't Go Over Well

House Speaker Mike Johnson was called out after he erroneously claimed that Medicaid cuts are happening due to "young men" who play video games "all day" instead of going to work.

Medicaid, the joint federal-state program that provides health coverage to low-income Americans, children, pregnant women, and people with disabilities, has long been in the GOP’s crosshairs. Critics within the party argue it discourages work, particularly among younger adults.
