Live right now

I made a full-blown PowerPoint presentation to prove my point in an argument with my girlfriend.

Relationships

My girlfriend and I have been having the same dumb argument for weeks about which of us is messier. I'm a visual learner and a problem solver, so I decided to present the evidence in a format she couldn't ignore.

A guest at my small party used Shazam on my playlist.

Social

I hosted a small get-together and spent a lot of time making a specific playlist to set a vibe. A friend of a friend I didn't know very well kept pulling out his phone to Shazam the songs, and it felt weirdly invasive.

My wife wants us to pay $4,000 to fly home for my father-in-law's 65th birthday.

Family

His health is fine, it's not a milestone like 60 or 70, and we just saw them a few months ago. With two kids in school and all the costs that come with that, spending thousands of dollars on a 4-day trip right now feels completely irresponsible.

I took a pay cut so my coworker could keep his job.

Work

We had layoffs. It was either he gets fired or I take a pay cut so the company can afford to keep us both. I said I'd do it.

My gf says playing old video games is a waste of time.

Gaming

She thinks if I'm going to spend hours gaming it should be on new stuff with friends like Fortnite or CoD. I tried to explain the glory of Ocarina of Time on the N64 and she just isn't getting it.

Why does everyone have an opinion on how much I tip for takeout?

Money

I posted a story of my sushi order and someone DMed me to say that my 10% tip on a pickup order was 'insulting' to the staff. It was a $40 order, so I tipped $4. I didn't think you had to tip the full 20% when you're not even sitting down and getting service.

We cannot agree on if you have to pay for food you ordered but didn't eat.

Friends

My friend group is fighting over a $20 appetizer. Someone ordered it, barely touched it, and now says she shouldn't have to chip in for it because she didn't 'really' eat it.

Hot take: The original 'You've Got Mail!' AIM notification sound was the peak of online communication.

Hot Takes

Every notification sound since has been trying to recapture that magic. Nothing will ever beat the little dopamine hit of hearing that voice after school.

My boyfriend's new 'culinary' hobby is just making adult Lunchables.

Food

He's suddenly decided he's a charcuterie expert after seeing a million TikToks. Now every time we have people over, instead of an actual dinner, he just arranges some sad-looking salami and cheese on a board and calls it a night.

My DnD group is threatening to kick me out over a font.

Internet

I'm the designated 'lore keeper' for our Dungeons & Dragons campaign, and I've been taking detailed notes for over a year. I use Comic Sans for all my documents because it's easy for me to read, but now the group is staging a coup.

My fantasy football league has a new 'anti-ghosting' rule and it's already a disaster.

Sports

The commissioner, my friend's very-serious-about-this boyfriend, implemented a rule where you get fined if you don't respond to a trade offer within 24 hours. I got hit with a $10 fine because I was on a flight and didn't see the ridiculous offer he sent me.

I had to call 911 on my roommate's boyfriend and now she wants to kick me out.

Who's in the Wrong

He was getting really aggressive and yelling at her and i got scared. Now my roommate is saying I overreacted and made things worse, and that I need to find a new place to live.

Remember when you could just mysteriously disappear online?

Nostalgia

Dating apps and social media have made it so everyone is expected to be available 24/7. I miss when logging off AIM meant you were just gone for the night, no explanation needed.

The most embarrassing thing just happened on my Hinge date.

Dating

My date and I were having a great time until the waiter brought the check and addressed me as 'ma'am' and him as 'your son.' My date is four years OLDER than me.

I refused to help my neighbor jump his car this morning.

Am I the Villain

He's a nice enough guy, but he's asked me three times in the last month. I have my own things to do in the morning, and I'm starting to feel like his personal AAA service.

The most embarrassing thing just happened at my own birthday dinner.

Was I Wrong

My girlfriend's sister decided to use my birthday dinner as the moment to announce her pregnancy. I barely know her and now my entire family thinks I'm going to be an uncle.

We cannot agree on the official 'leftover' etiquette in our apartment.

Petty or Nah

My roommate and I are trying to set house rules. I believe that any food in the main fridge (not in a personal marked bag) is fair game after 24 hours. He thinks all leftovers are off-limits unless explicitly offered.

I think I accidentally created a neighborhood mystery and now I don't know how to solve it.

Need Suggestions

I started leaving my retired neighbor's favorite snacks and magazines on his porch because I knew he was lonely. Now the whole street is trying to figure out who the 'Secret Santa of Summer' is and they want to throw a party to unmask them.

People don't appreciate a good 'no-skip' album anymore.

Music

Back in the day, you bought a CD and listened to the whole thing, in order. That's how you found the deep cuts and the hidden gems. Now everyone just throws singles into a playlist and calls it a day.

My girlfriend thinks I’m a bad person for how I use our Netflix profile.

Red Flag

they says my habit of deleting things from the 'Continue Watching' is a red flag. I think it's just basic streaming etiquette.

I had to drop a class because my ex is in it and won't stop staring at me.

School

We broke up two months ago and it was messy. I thought enough time had passed, but every time I look up in this seminar he's just looking at me and it makes my skin crawl. It's a required class for my major.

My roommate's boyfriend basically lives here rent-free and eats all our food.

Drama

My (23F) roommate's (24F) boyfriend (25M) is at our apartment 24/7. He doesn't pay for anything, eats food that I buy, and uses our utilities, and I'm getting really tired of it.

Superhero movie fatigue is a myth.

Culture

The problem isn't the genre, it's that most of the recent movies just haven't been very good.

I will never understand straight men's obsession with ranking women.

Relationships

My boyfriend and his friends were doing a 'draft' of celebrity women and i'm so weirded out by the whole thing. It feels so disrespectful and objectifying and he doesn't get why i'm mad.
