19 people describe the most inappropriate outfits they've seen coworkers wear to work.

Unless you work from home (shout out to my fellow pants-less professionals!), there are certain explicit or unspoken rules about what's considered "appropriate" work attire. These rules tend to vary depending on what kind of job you have and what your HR department has deemed acceptable. But whatever the dress code is, every work environment has an employee who likes to break or bend the rules. And thank God for them, because nothing spices up the monotony of a work week like the opportunity to cast judgment on a co-worker.

People on Reddit are sharing the most Not Safe For Work attire they've seen their co-workers wear to work, ranging from X-rated to straight-up dangerous.

Here are 19 stories about employees who wore wildly inappropriate outfits to work, for me to judge as I sit here in coffee-stained sweatpants (at least I put on pants today):

1.) From Altephor1:

Girl came into the lab with open toed shoes. Fucking psycho.

2.) From Back2Bach:

On Valentine's Day, a new hire dressed like "Cupid."

He wore a white shirt decorated with red hearts and a white tie with a large heart on the center of it.

Then, his pants were also white, but with angels going up and down the legs. Everyone loved it, especially the female employees. But his supervisor told him to go home and change because it was a "distraction."

3.) From Buckalaw:

Hospice central office. Secretary is looking to catch some doctor.

Fish net stockings. Skirt that shows the bottom of her ass. No underwear, maybe a g-string.

MD comes in and states “what is this a strip club now?”

I about fell outta my chair.

4.) From gamergirl118:

One of the agents I was teaching in a call centre wore a dress so low cut and so short that when she moved the wrong way I saw /everything/.

Another girl liked wearing corsets to make her boobs spill out of her shirt and hoodies that said inappropriate things like "Blow me." She couldn't understand why HR kept pulling her in for meetings.

5.) From JohnnyBrillcream:

Not really NSFW but not really for work either.

Had a client coming in and the office Manager told everyone to please dress very nice. A girl came in dressed in her prom dress.

6.) From G0dPikachu:

No tits and ass here but many moons ago i worked for Royal mail as a postman. Had a new hire that came into work wearing high heel platform boots. She didnt come back the next day because she didn't seem to understand that those items of footwear are not conducive to the amount of walking posties do, and managed to knacker her ankle. Also complained that carrying bags and putting mail through letter boxes was damaging her nails.

Never saw her again.

7.) From Hishnegreb2:

I saw a PA wearing a full on porn actress school girl uniform and walking up and down the office over and over. All the men were acting like like dogs watching tennis on tv

8.) From mellameemz:

A girl I knew wore a see through mesh top to work without a bra in a call centre I once worked at .. oddly enough she wore it about 3 times before she was eventually pulled up about it (cant think why)

9.) From knottingknotter_:

The receptionist at a profesional office I worked at thought it was OK to wear an oversized Tupac t-shit with no pants and slippers to the office for her first official day. Overall very confusing because she wore a beautiful outfit for her interview,

10.) From Prexadym:

I worked for an instrument supplier and was installing equipment at a customer site (pharmaceutical company.) It was around Halloween and Hugh Hefner had just died. Lots of employees were going around (including in the lab space) dressed like playboy bunnies. Not that their outfits were that skimpy (especially those who were in labs) but it was still weird seeing a bunch of scientists at work in bunny ears, bowties, and cotton tails paying tribute to playboy

11.) From DrDisastor:

Halloween party one year and a guy I worked with came in dressed as a cowboy and his technician, who he was having an affair with and was 20 years younger than he was, came in as a very scantily clad native american.

12.) From Moar_Wattz:

Mechanic wearing Flip-flops...

That shit ain't safe for work!

13.) From AgentOmegaNM:

One girl wore a pair of black leggings that were so thin you could see the color and pattern of her underwear from 50 feet back.

14.) From Mors_ad_mods:

In a fairly formal office, the owner was holding an employee-appreciation luncheon, spouses welcomed.

One guy's wife showed up in jeans so low cut you'd have been able to tell if she had a brazilian or not except for the g-string covering the area. She had the body for it, but it wasn't the place to be showing it.

15.) From IceMan339:

I worked in a very stuffy, old, and famous law firm. Last year on Halloween a very attractive young female attorney came in wearing a skin-tight black cat suit with cat ears on. It didn’t show any skin. But it didn’t need to. She was clearly not wearing a bra and her nipples were VERY visible, so was the fact that she was wearing a lace thong underneath.

This was the kind of office where men wore ties every day and women wore skirt suits or pant suits at all times. Nobody said anything to her as far as I know, but it was whispered about for a while.

I try very hard not to sexualize my coworkers, who are all brilliant and accomplished lawyers and not objects of fantasy. But that costume made me ask “why not both?”

16.) From Cavesmasher:

When I was doing my teaching internship, the 2nd grade teacher next door wore a leather miniskirt with black fishnet stockings. It was ... questionable, to say the least.

17.) From Dandywhatsoever:

NSFW in a different way - I worked in a law firm with a fairly casual dress code - jeans and t-shirt were acceptable, but just barely. The legal assistants regularly took documents to the local county courthouse for filing. One legal assistant came in wearing a "Fuck the Police" t-shirt. I wasn't his boss but I couldn't resist telling him he couldn't wear that shirt to the courthouse. He borrowed a sweater from someone.

18.) From Ganglebot:

When I was in college working for our student government, one of my coworkers showed up in tights that were so small you could clearly see every outline of her vagina. Not to be graphic but she was a small girl, with a larger area - there was a lot to notice. Our boss told her to go home and get changed. She got her back up about slut shaming.

What proceeded was an embarrassing hour long meeting with her, our boss, the student government president, the dean, our internal ombudsmen and legal counsel. Like, on the spot.

It was in an office, which didn't have good sound proofing so I heard the whole affair. She sounded willing to concede defeat after 5 minutes, but that shit kept going. I wasn't even involved nor had to deal with any of it, but listening to it gave me chest palpitations from second-hand embarrassment.

19.) From Logistics515:

My first job was at Wal-Mart doing stockwork. After getting trained in my boss starts disappearing for longer and longer periods of time, to the point I was running my little area. One day he's gone entirely, and I figure I need a new boss. He shows up next day wearing an American flag bandana...and nothing else. Right before I get to have a chat, 2 police round the corner and off he goes to the drunk tank. I did need a new boss... at least she was prettier.

Woman asks if it's okay to confront her boyfriend for giving $60 tip instead of buying gas to see her.

A long distance relationship? In THIS economy?

A recent Reddit story captured the difficulties of dating long distance. The Original Poster (aka OP) hooked everyone in with a solid clickbait headline:"[Would I Be The A**hole] if I confronted my boyfriend for tipping a waiter $60 instead of spending the money on me?"

That sounds like an easy "You're the A**hole," but low and behold, the situation's a lot more nuanced than that.

The post started with jess9577 giving us context on their love story. It's a classic "Boy Meets Girl, Boy And Girl Become Friends, Boy and Girl Become Friends With Benefits, Boy And Girl Become Boyfriend And Girlfriend" story.

My Bf (20M) and I (18F) have been dating for going on a year now. We started out as FWB but then we both developed feelings. In the beginning stage of our relationship he would constantly take me out to dinner and buy me random things he found and thought that I would like (nothing ever expensive just a cute stuffed animal or figurine that he saw for example). At the same point in this relationship I would reciprocate these actions. I would bring him food to work when I went into visit him, I would buy him random presents and would surprise him with random dinners just so he knew that I cared about him.

Her boyfriend lost his job, so naturally the gestures came infrequently.

Fast forward a couple months and he’s still doing everything listed above just less frequently. He developed financial struggles and eventually quit his job and was unemployed for about a month. During this time he completely stopped spending any money on me and it was entirely me spending money when we went out or did something together. This didn’t bother me at all as I understood it was only a temporary situation and I loved him.

He got his job back, but the couple is still long distance.

He got his job back about three months ago making decent money (we make about the same amount) and I have recently moved about an hour and a half away to go to college so we only see each other every two weeks.

Here's where the problem comes in: long distance relationships are expensive, and the guy doesn't seem inclined to cover the expenses.

The problem for me comes in because I am the only one making an effort to drive the hour and a half to either visit home for the weekend or take him up to my dorm. This costs quite a lot in gas. After I make the drive I am the only one who spends money on dates or anything we decide to do when we hang out and he frequently asks me if I can buy him food. His excuse for this is that we always hang out right before he gets paid (he gets paid on Monday and we always hang out the weekend before due to work schedules) and at that point all of the money from his paycheck is gone. He never makes any effort to save money even though he knows this is going to happen every time we see each other.

Now here's the kicker:

Today, he called me and told me that he went out with friends and tipped a waiter $60 because it was “the best service he had ever received.” I have not said that this hurt me or anything regarding the situation at all because I don’t know if I’m being an ass. WIBTA if I did confront him for this?

Well, now that you know the whole story, what do you think: is she an a**hole?

The comments on Reddit are surprisingly nice, as people are assuring her that no, she's not evil.

AnorhiDemarche even had some good, practical advice:

NTA, but do your best not to tie it to this incident If you do, it'll be a discussion about how it's fine for him to tip big and whatever. This problem isn't about this incident. It's so much bigger.

You are hurt because you feel the relationship is one sided. He doesn't save up to be able to date on the weekend or travel to see you. You feel like an after though/unimportant/taken advantage of.

HoneyNJ2000 said that she's not the a**hole, but blames her for letting herself be taken advantage of:

NTA. You're dating a little boy. He's a mere 20 year old man-child who still has no basic clue about the value of a dollar. And he apparently has no pride either, constantly thinking there's any dignity at ALL in mooching off his girlfriend. How can even respect this little fool?

Maybe you'll meet a slightly more mature young man at college who doesn't have the emotional maturity of a fruit fly. Your child boyfriend is going nowhere while you're bettering yourself at college. Think about that. A lot.

And the reason the little snake never bothers to spend a CENT when you visit is because you keep on showing up at his place and not only taking on the entire expense for your trip AND the dates yourself, but you're buying him food on TOP of it! Come on! You're a college student - is that really rocket science????? He takes advantage because you let him!

One thing is certain, and it's that we all know who the real winner of this relationship is: the waiter who got that huge tip.

People are making fun of a tweet claiming a family of four is 'struggling' on $350k a year.

The concept of financially struggling varies greatly depending on your background. Some of us are overjoyed to be able to afford a beer and a taco truck dinner, others are working day and night to barely feed their kids, still others bemoan the fact that their lush lifestyle doesn't include Gucci.

While it's human nature to hold different ideas of "struggle" based on your privilege and the community you live in, claiming you're middle class when you make over $350k a year is bound to get you roasted.

So, people on Twitter had a field day when MarketWatch posted an article from Sam Dogen's Financial Samurai blog that claimed a 350,000 dollar salary “barely qualifies as middle class.”

The article used data collected by Dogen to create a comprehensive budget for a family of four living in an "expensive metropolitan area" on $350,000 a year. The budget, as noted by people on Twitter, includes a lot of excessive expenses such as $24,000 in preschool costs, a minimum of $400 on clothes a month, and a mandatory 3 weeks of vacation.

People were quick to point out just how much money this family had, and how the concept of "struggling" was far from anyone with $350,000 and no school debt.

People also noted some inconsistencies in the budget, and that the data representing the family in the article also suggested the privilege of generational wealth.

The concept of this lifestyle being considered struggle was so outlandish even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez swooped in to roast the tweet.

To be fair, the article in no way claims the family is struggling to survive, but instead focuses on the concept of building massive wealth and retiring early, which would require better budgeting on their part.

"Unfortunately, despite making $350,000 a year, this couple will be unable to retire before 60 because they aren’t building an after-tax investment portfolio to generate passive income. In order for this couple to achieve financial independence, they need to accumulate a net worth equal to at least 25 times their annual expenses - or 20 times their annual gross income," Dogen writes on his blog.

However, the family in question could definitely reach their goals of amassing wealth and retiring early if they cut down a few basic costs.

If there's anything to be learned from Twitter's reaction to this nuclear family's struggle, it's that many of us would kill to budget on $350k a year.

Even if you wake up every morning in a sunlit marble room, where a personal chef hand-feeds you freshly steamed breakfast dumplings, your personal texts with loved ones are just as ridiculous as the next person's.

Celebrities might be inoculated against poverty and a cloying fear of paying next month's rent, but beyond the sheen of fame and lavish lifestyles, they are just like the rest of us: anxiously waiting for a text back.

One of the primary beauties of personal text exchanges is the privacy, you can get as weird and vulnerable as you need without the dramatic backlash of social media. After all, what even IS the internet if not a moat full of alligators eager to snap up the flesh of anyone they deem unworthy?!

However, there are times a text exchange is too good to keep contained to secrecy, at which point a screenshot snakes its way onto Twitter or Instagram. Here are just 22 times celebrities texted each other and needed the rest of us to know about it.

1. Kim Kardashian's wholesome good morning text from Kanye.

2. Actress Alex Borstein's appropriate response to (evil) Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos.

3. Erin Foster's sister text chain.

Women share the creepy things men do without realizing it.

If you think Halloween is spooky, imagine being a woman in a world full of men! Of course, #notallmen are creeps. But a lot of men are—and many of them without even realizing it. Someone recently asked women of Reddit: "what do men do that they think is okay but is actually creepy?"

These 26 women weigh in on common creepy behaviors from men that they seem to think are perfectly acceptable (they aren't!):

1.) From changingoftheseasons:

Maybe it's just me but, asking if I live alone.

Now if at this point of inquiry there was an already established friendship I suppose it's okay.

But if you are a stranger or an acquaintance that would freak me out.

2.) From kupoface:

Touching my tattoos when they ask to see them. It's crazy how many don't understand personal space/boundaries. Just, why? I assure you, they're real.

3.) From hypersp00p:

Follow you around while you're out, because they want to keep talking to you after you've already made 2 attempts to end the conversation.

4.) From terribleverything:

When I am walking down the sidewalk, follow me slowly in a car while trying to talk to me. I fucking hate this.

5.) From -kez:

"If I was x years younger.."

6.) From i_just_haveaquestion:

When men I don’t know well at all do random favors for me without me asking. I know it can come from an innocent place, but I’ve had enough buildups to creepy behavior that started with small things, that I’m immediately suspicious.

Example, (not terribly dark), a previous neighbor of mine who was around 45 (I was 25). We lived in a house split into apartments so we shared a yard. He would water my flowers, spread mulch onto my flowerbeds, clean my gutters, etc. without asking beforehand if I wanted or needed him to help, but he’d always tell me afterward he’d done it. (I was already kind of wary about what he expected from me, so I thanked him with a 6-pack, which seemed to disappoint him.) He also said numerous times that he worries about me living alone and he’d protect me if I ever had an intruder or anything. Which, okay, thanks?

I decided he was just a generous person. He introduced me to the other neighbors, and once in a while we’d all go out for a drink at the pub down the road, and he’d pay for everyone’s drinks, regardless of whose idea it was to go out. So I thought “Ok this is just how he is.”

And I thought that until I looked up from my couch around 11pm and he was standing in my flower bed staring through my window with his hands cupped around his eyes. He grinned and tapped on the glass like “Hey cmere let’s talk.”

So I went outside (I was waiting on a friend to come pick me up) to find him wearing what I think was a suit, swaying, very drunk, and he says “Let’s go out. Where do you want to go?” I was like hey, sorry, I’ve got plans with a friend tonight. So he interrogates me about what kind of friend (it was a guy), then out comes the list of all the things he’s done for me, how he’d never let anyone hurt me, how even though he’s old enough to be my father.......(then he kind of trailed off). I asked “Do you mean go out on a date?” Mumbles yeah kind of. I said I didn’t think of him that way, and that he was right, I kind of did put him in the category of people my father’s age. Then he got mad saying things like “Woooww, so that’s how you’re gonna be huh” and I was just so surprised and had no idea what to do so I just started apologizing.

My friend arrived with flawless timing.

7.) From DaughterEarth:

It's not most men at all but there was one man who acted super creepy and seemed to think it was fine.

I worked with this guy back when I was 18. The two of us as well as some other coworkers would hang out all the time and I was generally friendly with the guy. Same sort of friendly as I'd use with anyone else but I guess it made him obsessed with me.

For about 5 years he would constantly message me telling me how amazing I am. He clearly seemed to think that was a good idea and it would make me feel good and I guess make me in to him? Or maybe he already thought I was in to him?

Point is if someone turns you down they probably aren't playing hard to get. Try once. If they turn you down and you suspect they're playing the stupid hard to get game then ask them directly. Don't pester them constantly for years. That is scary behavior.

And yes, I did block the guy eventually. Then he started making alternative accounts to add me with. That's where we are getting in to stalker territory though.

tl;dr// when someone says no you should back off, not turn in to a stalker

*some people are still coming in with confusion. Let me reword it: Someone messaging you daily about how beautiful you are is not a nice compliment. It's scary, especially after making it clear nothing's going to happen.

8.) From landho54:

Block an exit while trying to start a conversation. Just.don't do it EVER.

9.) From BuckingFutters78:

My wife had a boss that would come up behind the ladies and start giving them shoulder massages... not cool dude

Edit: Wow this blew up... No she didn't work for Joe Biden lol. She was a resident at a hospital. The guy doing it was an attending physician. He did it to all the female residents. Not that it matters but he was in his 50's and kind of looked like Danny Devitos Penguin. It was bad because the power dynamic between residents and attending made it hard to say much, especially at the time.

10.) From florley:

Consistent pursuit.

My senior year of high school, a junior guy kept pursuing me. We were in an algebra 2 class together and had after school practices for theater. This was my first year in any production. My goals that year were to try something new and maybe make some new friends. Enter "junior."

It started off as friendly conversations. Things we had in common. He was nice and funny, but not my type. There was no spark for me. He asked me out. I said no. He was polite about my rejection and I figured we'd be friends. About two months into the school year, he said that he was having a bunch of the cast over for a party that weekend. Sure. Who doesn't like a party.

When I got to his house it was just him, his family, and me. I thought I was early. No problem. I sat in the living room and we talked. Fifteen minutes later I texted a friend and told her to call me ASAP and fake an emergency because my gut felt off. By the time she calls: I've been there about 35 minutes, his mom is almost done cooking dinner, no one else has shown up, and his dad had made a passing remark about his son bringing "such a nice girl for dinner." That was the official red flag. I knew "junior" hadn't invited anyone else over.

I noped out of there saying my "sister" had locked herself out of the house and she needed my key.

I ignored him as much as I could after that. One word responses when he asked me things. Minimal interaction during class and practice. He asked me out three more times that year either oblivious or ignorant to my retraction. The last time was to prom and he knew I had started dating someone. He played it off as "oh no, i meant both of you come with me." Not a group mind you, just him. I had to drop out of theater that Spring due to a band conflict and it ended up being a blessing because it got me away from him. It's a tame example, but it still gives me the creeps when I remember him.

11.) From Pengauno:

Grabbing my wrists

It is a huge ultimate fuck no

12.) From naughtydismutase:

"you're cute when you're angry"

13.) From lisbethsalamander:

Getting sexually explicit in the first message.

14.) From weemuree:

I've got curly hair and I'm sick of men thinking they can just come and grab a coil of hair and pull it, like I'm some kind of slinky spring! Don't touch my fucking hair and don't call me moody when I tell you to stop!

ETA: Seems like it's people with curly hair, coloured hair, long hair, no hair and facial hair all suffering together here! Also, I've not had many women reach for my hair but obviously they do! Please don't touch our hair (without permission), it's such an intimate thing to do for a lot of us.

15.) From flwestwinds:

My workplace is mostly men. There are 3 women and approximately 25 men. I used to bring in homemade baked goods a lot...pumpkin bread, brownies, cookies, smores bars and the like. I enjoy being in the kitchen. It's a nice gesture to share. One guy started drawing me borderline inappropriate Minnie Mouse drawings. Not done well. Traced images but with small changes like her bloomers too short. Weird to explain. I'm the exact opposite of a person you'd think would like anything Disney related, let alone sexy Minnie. He said he drew them to thank me for the treats. I stopped bringing in treats which resulted in everyone else questioning why I quit baking. Very awkward all around.

16.) From T7Ley:

Honking, yelling or some form of catcalling while I'm running or even just walking down the street.

17.) From ookaminaku:

I have a large tattoo on my shoulder, and I've had several men come up from behind, and move my tank top strap and bra strap to see it better. It's been mostly in grocery stores and Lowe's of all places.

18.) From thatboiii2468:

Constantly pushing for a date after saying we aren’t interested. Like a high school boy having a crush and the girl saying “I just like you as a friend...” and they keep pushing like she’ll fall in love. Sorry that’s just a fairytale. Please stop after we say we don’t like you. No hard feelings! We just don’t want to date you.

19.) From gvf77:

I've come across a few men who don't seem to understand that "I have a boyfriend" means I'm not single and I don't want to be pursued or flirted with.

20.) From YourTransJesus:

Saying anything along the lines of “you’re perfect” upon minutes of meeting

21.) From womble863:

Thinking it's OK to send dick pics by way of introduction. Maybe I'll want to see it at some point eventually, but try saying hi first.

22.) From RyanaDjamila:

Gay men who grope you and say 'it's ok! I'm gay! and not attracted to women at all!'

So step the fuck off my dress Mary, and keep your fucking hands to yourself like a normal gay person then.

23.) From Armacdonald94:

1.) Flirting with me in a position where I can’t leave, like an uber or a taxi. It’s terrifying. One time I had an Uber driver flirt with me the entire time I was in the car late on a Friday night after a party, I tried to stop responding and he kept telling me how beautiful I was and how I needed a nice man, etc. He actually ended up skipping my street and I thought I was going to die that night. Most of the times when women don’t want to talk with you / aren’t interested and you keep pushing it, we get scared that we’re gonna get assaulted or killed! A real possibility at any time!

2.) I’ve had men who have been on FaceTime in public follow me with their phones talking to their friends about how I look and such and it’s just really uncomfortable because I didn’t consent for my body to be recorded and sent to your pals when I’m just trying to get my fucking groceries.

24.) From PlantPrincess3337:

I don't have air in my car but it's so hot where I live so my windows are always down. When I come to a red light men try to talk to me from their vehicles and it makes me wildly uncomfortable because I obviously can't get away.

25.) From ceresdaniela:

"Dare" me to kiss my girlfriend in front of him to "prove" I'm lesbian/bi. Disgusting and daily

26.) From ukhoneybee:

That hassling you for a date because you don't have a bf is not okay.

'But you don't have a bf...'

The point is dude, I'd rather be single than date you. Take the bloody hint.

27.) From Scrappy_Larue:

"Where's my hug?"

28.) From suspicious_niffler:

Tell you to smile.

It used to make me really uncomfortable, now I just grin manically at them.

Kylie Jenner criticized for 'upstaging bride' with gold dress at Justin and Hailey Bieber’s wedding.

If you were planning on inviting Kylie Jenner to your wedding, you might want to reconsider after seeing what she wears on other people's special days.

On Sunday, teeny bopper pop star-turned-human tattoo canvas Justin Bieber married model Hailey Baldwin in South Carolina. They obviously don't have that many Jewish friends, as that was also the first night of Rosh Hashanah.

The star-studded crowd included many prominent gentiles, including Hailey's fellow supermodels, Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

Kendall's dress was rather tasteful for a Kardashian, featuring no elaborate necklines and actually touching the floor.

She shared photos on Twitter too, taking the opportunity to plug her cosmetics line and tastefully cup her breast.

The sexy tinfoil look was criticized on Twitter, with people calling the extremely extra display "disrespectful" and potentially upstaging the bride.

Twitter user BinweA discussed it in her group chat, and she issued a warning to her friends.

"Don't upstage the bride" is a common rule in most cultures.

We have yet to see what the bride wore, but it wasn't metallic gold.

The Biebers shared kissing pics on their respective Instagrams so we know they're not spending their honeymoons being pissed at Kylie.

People who have rented their homes on AirBnB share the worst things guests have done.

Renting out your home on AirBnB might seem like an easy way to make some extra cash. But it's always a risk letting a complete stranger crash at your place. Even if they are technically "vetted" in advance, there's no way to tell for sure that someone isn't a total wack job, or a terrible tenant. These 24 AirBnB hosts, who shared their AirBnB horror stories on Reddit, learned that lesson the hard way:

1.) From PMMeParkingTickets:

Found a web cam in the bathroom. Not well hidden, can't really prove which guest it was, but it scared the **** out of me because I'd probably be liable if a guest found it.

2.) From Robotmurloc14:

Not me but my sister.

She was visiting her boyfriend who lived in France at the time, and figured it was a good idea to put her apartment on air b&b.

There were 2 guys that ended up renting it for 9 days of the 3ish weeks she would be gone. Day 2 she got complaints from neighbours about garbage being thrown out the window, she lives on the 5th floor. She tried getting them to stop, when that didn't work she tried getting them to leave, didn't work either ofc. She ended up calling our parents to get them to help with calling the police as she was still in another country. When the officer showed up they spit in his face and tried punching him. He got reinforcements and got them removed, idk what happened to them afterwards sadly.

As a side note: Air b&b was surprisingly helpful, and even handled all the legal things with the guys still paying for the full 9 day stay, without more than a quick call to describe what was happening.

3.) From dantooine1977:

Pre-AirBnB, my grandparents would rent out their house for the Winter while they were in Florida. The last time they did this the tenant turned out to be a drug dealer and escort and let's just say that Grandma's bed was never the same

4.) From cookingwithsmitty:

My friend has an Air BnB and told me one time this lady took a massive toilet clogging shit in the bathroom connected to his room because she didn't feel comfortable in the guest bathroom.

5.) From Snuffleupagus03:

Steal the cable for the tv. The next guests asked about the tv not working, and upon inspection we found that the physical cable from the tv to the cable was missing - taken by the previous guests.

wtf?

6.) From WhiskTheCouch:

Only rented a few times. Nothing rude, but I had a no-show once. They never cancelled and I kept their money. I would have refunded had they messaged me with even the slightest excuse... but nope, just never heard from them at all. It was weird.

Edit: To everyone speculating - In my case, my Air BnB was a unique space. I’m talking, clearly not for everyone. It’s highly unlikely it was a company or client situation due to the space and the location. I suspect the guest got cold feet about it and backed out at the last minute.

Edit 2: Not BDSM. Not even close. hahahaha omg

7.) From gunbunnycb:

1st time was my last time.

But, rented to a young lady and her 5 year old son. Was supposed to be an overnight then she would return in a week for a second night.

We met the lady and her son, showed her around, she told us she would likely be gone by noon at the latest.

Wife and I showed up at house around 1:30 to clean up. Her car was still in the driveway, we knocked on the door, the little boy answers. Tells us his mommy wont wake up.

We found her lying on the floor next to the bed.

Apparently she had a heart attack in the night and tried to get to her cell phone.

The cops contacted her family, they came and got the little boy.

Lots of tears and emotion.

Wife and I decided that we didn't want that ever again. So, we took it off the site.

8.) From ckp010:

When I used to work for Airbnb, my job was to meet hosts and talk to them in person about their experience. One guy told me how some dude locked himself in the room he was renting and wouldn't come out for days. The host eventually called the cops to have the guy removed because he overstayed his visit and wasn't opening the door. When he finally was removed, the host found feathers everywhere. He couldn't figure out where they were coming from until he opened the closet door and saw blood and more feathers smeared all over the wall. Dude had been practicing voodoo or santeria or something in the closet, sacrificing chickens.

9.) From rostoffario:

Had a guest from NYC stay in our VRBO apt for a week. She was a bit snooty and bragged that she was coming to sell high end seafood to high end restaurants. She asked me to make sure and accept a large package of frozen seafood that was being overnighted to the house prior to her arrival. I did and put it in her apartment. She arrived and we didn't see her until the day she left. She told told all went well and she got several new clients. Then she presented us with a HUGE fillet of Tuna as a gift.

Once she left we went in to the unit to start cleaning and prepping for new guests arriving a few days later. The place was FILTHY! She threw her trash on the floor rather than in the trash cans. All of the washcloths were missing from the linen closet but none were in the laundry pile. I found three bloody wash clothes under a paper towel in the bathroom trash. It was the only thing in it. There was this bad smell and we couldn't figure out where it was coming from. After a thorough search we found it. She had been broiling seafood in the oven. That new oven was disgusting! The inside was caked in grease, fish scales and god knows what else. It took me one entire afternoon to get it clean.

10.) From soysaucepapi:

My sister rents out a unit that's attached to 2 other units. She told me about a guy who was a first time renter on the app. He seemed nice enough, but she got complaints from the neighbors about partying and loud music late at night. She spoke to him the next day, he was super chill about it, but when he left, she found a mess. Beer cans and food everywhere and on top of that he spilled beer all over the mattress so she had to get a new one. She charged him for it and wasn't sure if he was gonna pay up, but he did. Wasn't super bad, but it was incredibly stressful for her.

11.) From saamii_xx:

Not me personally but there was an article in the newspaper of my hometown about an Air B&B that was turned into a brothel for about two weeks. When the owner returned home he still had men show up at his door looking for the girls.

12.) From i_fuckin_luv_it_mate:

I had Family that put up their second place as Airbnb. They we're pretty remote so they catered mainly to families and groups. They recently stopped doing Bachelor and Bachelorettes as they've noticed they get too wild and they always leave the place a mess for check out. One time a woman brought their tiny dog to a bachelorette party, which is fine - they're dog friendly, but the owner had passed out early and no one let the dog out so it just pissed and shit all over the hardwood and no one cleaned it up before leaving. They got charged extra, but the thing is with Airbnb, this isn't a hotel where staff don't care personally and one mess out of 100 rooms isn't necessarily a significant deal. This is someone's house

13.) From NitnoYT:

Relative of mine has an AirBnb - Tenant decided they didn't like the place for some reason and took a can of emergency bear mace and sprayed all over the AirBnB before leaving.

Relative had to clean the place, eyes stinging the whole time, before a new AirBnb Tenant was to show up the next day.

14.) From L1A1:

Organised a massive drug deal and got raided by a rival gang. My partner currently manages about 15 AirBnB's, we occasionally get assorted crazies, but the most recent incident was a doozy. Basically, from what we can work out, it was booked by a gang (about 7-10 of them, apparently) of drug dealers from another major city, who travelled over to distribute product to local dealers.

At some point after lots of coming and going, a rival gang turned up, kicked the front door in and attacked them all, and I can only assume stole the drugs in question. Blood everywhere, smashed furniture, ambulances and a hell of a lot of police then ensued. Even though the police went through the place and searched it, we still ended up with some free weed, so it wasn't all bad.

15.) From cliffy348801:

The longer term rental. I hate them. Once they went past the $500 security deposit line, they stopped caring.

Two broken picture frames

The kids used my lightbulbs as targets for their airsoft guns

The kids went through my attic and dumped every box upside down looking for drugs? Money? porn?

The kids broke the lock into my storage room and

Took my toolkits outside into the woods, left the tools

opened a pack of roofing shingles to make a mat under the hammock from the storage room

used my plastic windows from the jeep as a door mat for the broken storage room entrance

removed the metal doggie door and pounded it into a metal bowl to burn things from my storage room

removed the concrete stones from my walkway and made a path in the woods

Left their fish hooks in the carpet

Threw their trash behind my televisions

used my televisions as targets for their airsoft guns

Ran the AC with the windows open; left the windows open with the AC running while they were out of town for the week

Took family heirlooms locked in a storage room into the woods to use as targets for their BB guns

Used my white towels and kitchen knives to clean their baseball cleats

Did not take their trash to the street for removal but rather, left it in the garbage cans outside the house with concrete blocks to keep raccoons out of the trash

Took the toilet paper, detergent, and paper towels left for cleaning

Brought a dog with fleas when they said no pets

Broke a coffee table

Broke an end table

Broke a hammock

Broke a bed frame and propped it up with books

Cursed at my neighbors

Left their penis extension device in the bathroom closet covered in poo, beside their container of Horny Goat Weed sex pills

Left their penis extension device in the bathroom closet covered in poo, beside their container of Horny Goat Weed sex pills

Left their penis extension device in the bathroom closet covered in poo, beside their container of Horny Goat Weed sex pills

Left their penis extension device in the bathroom closet covered in poo, beside their container of Horny Goat Weed sex pills

LEFT A PENIS EXTENSION DEVICE IN THE BATHROOM CLOSET

EDIT: forgot to mention they moved the fire pit from the concrete pad to the wooden porch and got pissed when I asked them not to have a fire on the wooden deck.

I'm still finding random things hidden in the house, like firecrackers in coffee mugs... drinking glasses were found in the woods where they were used for target practice. The house is back to shape but my new AirBnB renters complain about my strict fee schedule.

16.) From McFeely_Smackup:

A friend of mine rented out his condo to a family for 3 months solid. When the rental period was up, they refused to leave and he had to call the police out to get them to go.

Then he found out they had ruined the flooring in the kitchen by keeping a dog water bowl on the floor and letting water just get trapped under it until it soaked in day after day, week after week.

He said the kitchen looked like they'd been running a commercial restaurant because there was no way normal family meals could have accounted for the amount of grease and curry staining the walls.

They'd also left rotting food on the counters that had maggots crawling on it.

the kicker was he filed a complaint with AirBNB demanding a full refund of his 3 months rent because he wasn't happy with the rental.

17.) From Desideratta:

A guest once rearranged all the furniture to suit them, including putting our suede dining chairs in the very roomy shower.

In doing so, they broke our 300lb glass coffee table too.

All the books they moved into the mud room.

Just weird.

18.) From shmatt19:

My girlfriend and I went backpacking through South America for 3 weeks over the summer and we Air B&B'ed our apartment to a super nice Greek couple. I guess in Greece their plumbing system isn't that great, so they weren't accustomed to flushing toilet paper down the drain. The smell hit us the second we walked through the door and we just ended up throwing away the bathroom trash can and all its contents. I wouldn't necessarily call it rude/f*cked up, but just one of those weird cultural differences.

19.) From Akiwuffle:

I can't get into specifics, but my job had to step out of a file where we had booked an Airbnb for someone. This lady went from the usual terrible person behavior- trashing the property, letting her animals and kids run the place into ruin- to full on Single White Female. She started impersonating the owner to install new security equipment, file renovations with the city, basically trying to get everything involving this property under her name. Last I heard before we cut our ties, she was inviting her entire family to move in so someone would be there at all times to chase the owner off every time they came by to talk or assess things. I feel so bad for that owner, and I hope she finally took legal action to get her life back.

20.) From LadimJaja:

We rent apartments in our house, we live upstairs. It's a pretty big house so there isn't any privacy issue.

One night, my mom and I fell asleep watching the TV - nothing unusual. At 6 am I am woken up by a dude (guest, cca 20yo) just standing in the middle of the living room. Completely freaked out I just say "MOM!" she turns also completely shook, dude is still just standing, finally he tells us their taxi never showed up and they are late to the bus station. Mom tells him to go back to the apt and she'll drive them in 5 mins.

So it was quite innocent, but shit man, how do you even think of coming into someones House like that? From then on, we made sure to double check every night if all the doors are locked.

21.) From trina-cria:

I had a friend who used to AirBnb her one bedroom apartment. One day when she returned the place was a mess like there had been a rager. There were a bunch of full garbage bags left so she peaked inside one to see what kind of party there had been. She found a Costco-sized box of enemas all used.

She never used AirBnb again. Her poor cat was a witness to the butt s&x @rgy.

22.) From PintsizedPachyderm:

My parent's rent out their villa in mainland Europe to friends and family.

Mum's beginning to rethink after coming back and finding: ALL her forks in the outside flowerbed; the dishwasher broken as it's full of fishbones; missing bedsheets and towels; broken decorations; broken crockery and glasses; missing items that we've had since childhood, sometimes her childhood; much more but I can't remember right now.

They charge a really low relative amount and no deposit, so maybe they're asking for it, but last time she was out, she was almost in tears about it all. She doesn't know who's done it, but isn't keen on letting it out any more, particularly as fixing the dishwasher cost almost as much as a week's stay.

As someone said above, some guests seem to not realise it's someone's home, not just an impersonal hotel.

23.) From excti2:

I had a guest get so drunk at a wedding that he lost control of his bladder while sleeping. Then, after 100% ruining a $2000 mattress refused to cover the damages beyond his $100 security deposit. He thought that absolved him of any responsibility.

He said, “I had an accident.”

“No,” I replied, “Five year olds have accidents. You’re a grown man with a drinking problem.”

24.) From Houned:

Asked me to shoot a porno with them...... can’t say I refused.

Bride asks if she was wrong to 'fire' 8-year-old flower girl on wedding day for bullying.

$
0
0

Flower girls have been a staple in traditional weddings for centuries. In ancient times, they often scattered herbs to ward off evil spirits, while in recent decades they regularly stick to flower petals.

Regardless of what they're scattering, flower girls were first added to weddings as a visual representation of the bride's growth from child into adult (which is why they often wear white), and the flowers themselves represent fertility.

In theory, picking a niece or family friend to dress up and throw flowers in front of people should be a joyful, low-stress part of wedding planning. A lot of weddings have multiple flower girls, and there are times when an older woman or a little boy takes on the role instead.

However, every wedding is different - and larger family dynamics can taint even the most fun parts of planning.

In a recent post on the Am I The *sshole subreddit, a bride asked if she was wrong for how she handled dividing up flower girl duties at her wedding.

"AITA for taking away my niece's flower girl duty the day of the wedding?"

"Got married last weekend and had a lovely day, but had some commotion early on the wedding day."

OP kicked off the post by sharing that she had to choose one of her 8-year-old nieces for flower girl duty.

After much deliberating, OP decided to choose Amber over Katie because she has a "typical angelic" cute appearance and gets good grades.

"For flower girl, we had a choice between my two nieces, Amber and Katie. They're both eight and it was a tough decision. Unfortunately for my perfect day I felt shallow and since Amber has more of a typical angelic ''cute'' appearance (very long hair, glasses, big smile) I picked her. Her parents also convinced me she deserved it because she got top marks in some assessment her school did."

However, the situation heated up when OP's brother (father to Katie) revealed that Amber had been bullying Katie during wedding prep.

"During the wedding prep Katie and her dad (my brother) kept telling me that Amber had been bullying her about the fact she didn't get the job. The girls have never liked each other for reasons I don't know. I didn't pay too much mind to it since I was too caught up in myself."

At first, OP ignored the claims because she was too busy preparing to be a bride, but on the morning of the ceremony she saw a glimpse of Amber bullying Katie.

Amber was taunting Katie for not being flower girl, and told her she'd never get married because she's "too ugly."

"On the wedding morning I got to witness the bullying myself and it was pretty cruel. Amber (and keep in mind this is an eight year old child) told Katie that she'd never get married because she's too ugly. I could imagine how upsetting this would be for a child and I made Amber apologize and also took away the flower girl job and gave it to Katie. Amber was crying throughout the wedding day, and for the past days I haven't heard anything from her dad my other brother."

Alarmed by the scene, OP reprimanded Amber and let Katie be flower girl instead.

This caused a rift with her other broth, Amber's dad.

"My husband and I are going away on our honeymoon on Thursday, and i was anxious to get in touch with my brother before we leave. He finally called me and was extremely angry at me for taking the job away from his daughter. He said Amber has been crying the past two days and felt really humiliated, and was really looking forward to the job."

Despite the protests of Amber and her parents, OP believes she did the right thing by letting Katie be flower girl, but wants outside perspective from the internet.

"As someone who was bullied myself growing up, it felt like the right thing to do after Amber's behaviour towards Katie. I can't imagine how upsetting those comments would be, and at that point Katie, who had never been anything other than well behaved deserved it more than Amber."

Shakespearian_Rumba thinks OP is at fault for not having both of them in the first place.

"YTA for not just having two flower girls. Like, why was this even an issue in the first place?"

wobblebase thinks Amber was just picking up on OP's favoritism.

"YTA for making it so incredibly obvious that you were picking Amber over Katie in the first place that you gave credibility to Amber's bullying. There was no reason you couldn't have 2 flower girls. You played favorites, then realized it was problematic when Amber exaggerated the same reasoning that lead to your initial decision."

SleepFlower80 thinks bullying runs in the family.

"YTA for choosing your flower girl based on who was cuter. Who the hell are you to be judging an 8 year old kid on how cute she is? Sounds like bullying runs in the family."

RedheadedWildling had all four of their nieces in the wedding.

"YTA. I have 4 nieces and all 4 of them were flower girls at my wedding. Why choose just one, and the "cute" one at that? Sounds like you created your own drama just for pretty pictures"

Youhavemyaxeee thinks everyone except Katie sucks.

"ESH except Katie. Why didn't you choose them both? They wear pretty dresses and throw a few flowers. The parents bask in reflected glory. You get married. Why choose one over the other. Amber sucks for bullying. Her dad sucks for not having your back over his daughter's behaviour."

Given the drama, it seems it would've been much easier to have both nieces as flower girls, or cut out the flower girl portion completely. Hopefully, moving forward, Amber and Katie won't be pinned against each other at family functions.

Trump's 'meltdown' during meetings with Finnish president gets memed.

$
0
0

Here's what you need to know about Donald Trump's meeting with the President of Finland today: #TrumpMeltdown was the number one trend on Twitter for hours.

Finnish president Sauli Niinistö was the latest luminary brought into the play pen known as the Oval Office, and he was basically the third wheel as Trump ranted and ranted and raved at reporters.

In his many soliloquies, Trump baselessly accused House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff of treason, insisted that the whistleblower was "totally wrong," and contradicted the transcript of the call with the Ukranian president that ~his own White House~ put out.

Niinistö was certainly Serving Face, because the human body can't help but react when in the company of Trump.

People joked about how Niinistö appeared to look directly at the camera like Jim from The Office (or, if you're a feminist, like Fleabag from Fleabag).

It was more than just the face. Niinistö, like dozens of women before him, swatted away Trump's hand when it touched his knee. Today was the day Sauli Niinistö finally became the First Lady.

That was just the Oval Office spray.

Things got shady out loud when, at the official press conference, Niinistö mentioned the glory of American democracy and the severity of global warming. Those are two facts of life in most eras, but standing next to Trump, it counts as shade.

"I used to say that if we lose the Arctic, we lose the globe," Niinistö said, a reminder to Trump that the damage he's doing by drilling and denying climate change is irreversible.

Not once, but TWICE, the Finnish president said to Trump, "You have a great democracy. Keep it going on."

If that's still too subtle for Trump, here's Niinistö laughing in his face during a rant about the media. You can hear him chuckling off-camera, giving a voice to the voiceless.

FIN.

16 tweets from parents about the things people who don't have kids don't understand.

As a mom to an 8-lb Chihuahua who sleeps all day and demands almost nothing from me, I understand one thing about being a human parent, which is that I don't understand it at all. Truly, I have nothing but respect for everyone out there raising one or more tiny humans. I have enough friends with kids to know that y'all are living in an alternate reality I can barely even begin to wrap my mind around. But not every non-parent feels the same way. And a lot of people think they understand what it's like to be a parent just because they have parents, or because they've seen parents on TV and in the movies. Well, we don't.

Here are 17 tweets from parents about the things non-parents have said to them that prove you can't understand what it's like to have human children unless you've been there yourself.

Good luck out there, parents! Now excuse me I'm going to get a 2nd IUD.

1.) Having kids changes everything.

2.) No household item is safe.

3.) There is no spare time.

4.) The poop is everywhere, you can't fight it.

5.) Sometimes you just have to scream in a Target.

6.) Grapes are a horror movie.

7.) Your concept of "fun" is different now.

8.) You've earned the right to complain.

9.) Sometimes a gift is actually a curse.

10.) Parenthood ages you.

11.) You're the superhero now.

12.) Names are a luxury.

13.) You have no idea the things you'll do.

14.) It's worse than you think.

15.) Time is different now.

16.) Don't try to offer advice, because you don't f*cking know.

15 wedding planners share things that went wrong that 'brides must never know.'

$
0
0

Planning a wedding can be a real challenge.

Luckily, plenty of people are professional wedding planners dedicated to making sure the bride doesn't cry or run off on a horse into the sunset. While we often hear stories about bridezillas tormenting their mothers, friends, or maids of honor, the real VIPs on the wedding day are planners and day-of event managers.

It's hard enough making sure that your drunk uncle isn't flirting with the bridesmaids and that the groom's mother isn't micro-managing the bride's hairstyle without also worrying that everyone at the venue is doing their job and you're still "being in the moment" on the "happiest day of your life." While weddings should be a simple celebration of love with people they love, these days they're more like very expensive beauty pageants...

When a recent Reddit user asked, "Wedding Planners of Reddit: What is your best ‘the bride must never know’ story?'" the internet was ready to share the secrets that were just better kept from the bride...

1. Oh no! "glastonbury13."

Groom here, I forgot the rings....

Sent a groomsmen in a taxi, they were handed to the Best man with less than a minute to go

2. Don't smoke on the job, "smellykellyx3."

at my best friends wedding we were a little delayed getting introduced to the reception. she thinks it’s because they were letting people get seated - really her father in law was running around setting up their cupcakes because the catering company had to fire an employee on the spot for being high (idk what drug). she still has no idea two years later.

3. Damn, "zoe_in_the_wild."

Not a wedding planner. But the wedding planner for one of my good friend's wedding went above and beyond.

Friend's mother was a horrid woman. Very self centered. Narcissistic. The way you feel about Umbridge the first minute into the HP movie. You feel that way in 2 seconds meeting her.

She was banned by friend and uninvited a week before the big day. The final straw being her mother was going to wear a wedding dress (not a white dress which is bad enough. No. Actual wedding gown.) To her daughter's wedding.

It was a hell of a week doing everything we could all do to help friend and her soon to be husband relax, enjoy and get that witch out of their heads.

Day of wedding. It's beautiful. In a beautiful church. Everything is fantastic. The wedding planner, he was like some magical fairy godfather. Just guiding and leading and managing one transition into another flawlessly. If there were hiccups, nobody knew or saw it. He even had set up professional child care in the church's children room for those there with young ones. The vows ceremony flowed into the reception room.

Then the horrid beast showed up. Stomping up the hallway, wearing that dress looking like tore up colfax hooker.

She didn't even make it to the reception hall way. The WEDDING PLANNER JUMPED HER LIKE A SECRET SERVICE AGENT! I don't even know where he came out of. One moment, crazy lady, next Wedding Planner silent ninja strike!

Hand over her mouth and dragged her out so fast that us maids and the groomsmen didn't have time to even gasp.

Bride and groom never found out she got in. They think she was arrested in the church's lot. (She probably shouldn't have done what she did having out of state warrants out for her.) And they didn't find out even that much till after their month long honeymoon, which was probably due to even the rest of friend's family wanting nothing to do with her mother.

All of us have countinued to recommend him or use his business for own events back in CO since then.

He looked bat shit crazy in the eyes, took it on like a badass and then went about the rest of the day like a pro Disney Cast member.

4. The worst, "half-past-shoe."

Friends of friends got a call the night before the wedding from an invited guest 'could he bring his new girlfriend?' OK sure adjusted plans, Re arranged tables and ordered another place at a table. Wedding day those two didn't show up.

5. Oh my god, "TechniChara."

Was a bridesmaid who was in charge of save-the-dates, invitations, and anything else involving paper - I designed and hand-made their wedding invitations using home devices and DIY hacks. It was pretty complicated to do so on a home printer (I was doing layered printing) so I was very focused on getting the alignments right. About 60 invitation in, I realized that I spelled her name wrong - twice. I have known her for over a decade, and have witnessed many typos made by strangers, I never thought I'd be one of them.

I started over and ate the cost of the mistake (fortunately, pretty marginal).

6. YIKES, "HeyItsTheShanster."

I am a wedding planner who just got married this past month.

I messed up the date on my own wedding day. Yup, I do this for a living and I missed that the date was wrong on MONTHS of emails.

Turns out the bakery had made it a day early (complete with the gold painted pineapple topper) and had it at the venue before our post ceremony photos were done. Had I been the coordinator and not this bride 1)this never would have happened and 2) no way the bride ever would have found out.

7. Well done! "smellcat_69."

I was a wedding planner professionally for 2 years and stopped, but recently my sister asked that I plan/coordinate her wedding since I had the experience.

I hit it off really well with her now-husband’s brother. We slept together at the after party, and we’re both freaking out that my sister and his brother are gonna find out. If so, the holidays should be interesting!

8. A grandpa on the loose! "kaybeaner."

Not the wedding planner, but maid of honor. The brides grandfather wasn’t there for the ceremony. He got lost after insisting he knew the way and didn’t need to follow anyone from the hotel and didn’t make it in time. He was there for the reception however and the bride didn’t notice his absence in the audience during the vows

9. Ice sculptures are in? "criminalsunrise."

Obligatory not a wedding planner story. When my wife and I got married we chose a deep winter date. We had a friend make up all the button holes and bouquets and picked them up the day before the wedding as we were getting married in another town. My wife's bouquet was quite large and was in a bucket of water to keep it fresh. We stayed (in separate rooms obviously) in a small hotel in the town and I left the flowers in the car to ensure they stayed as fresh as possible. Unbeknownst to me at the time, that night was going to be the coldest of the year and plummet to about -12C. The following morning, my wife had got up early with her party and already gone to the venue to get ready. I got up and got ready then headed out to the car to drop the necessary flowers off with my father-in-law at the wedding venue before heading to the church. Got to the car ... the bucket with her bouquet had frozen solid! I headed up to the venue and got her dad out. Like a champ, he took over and got the wedding planner to find every hair dryer in the place to melt the ice so the bouquet could be used. I left him to it and when my wife turned up at the church she looked amazing, and was carrying an ice free, wonderful bouquet. She had no idea there was any problems at all!

10. WHAT? "Roaming_pete."

Walked in on the groom getting a bj from mil on the day of the wedding.

11. Amazing, "TsarKashmere."

Bride was a spoiled. Her brother in law is a multimillionaire and paid her way through college where she met her husband, whose also filthy rich. Wedding dress was $10k and husband bought her a diamond necklace and earrings worth $50k and also bought a house that they were furnishing before the wedding. She threw tantrums, scream, cry during appointments then would have her sister and mother rush over and get everything done. She was 27.

During the wedding, we had set up this tree with tags hanging from the branches and the guests can write nice words and such. Before I left, I wrote on 3 different tags ‘please use contraception’ in different handwriting on each so she’d gather that multiple people believe that she’s unfit to have children any time soon.

12. This is the lord's work, "inspire_provoke."

The girls in the family have made it tradition to wear my moms wedding dress for their weddings. It's a beautiful mid-1960s dress w/ tons of pearls and lace and things, and a crazy long train. It had been in a cedar chest for about 15 yrs since its last use and needed to be restored. Due to last minute errors, my niece was to pick it up the morning before the wedding. As a gift to her, I paid for the restoration and the restitching and sizing, whatever it's all called. She let me go with her to see it sized and fitted and it's one of my favorite memories, I love that girl so much.

I had doubts about how flippant and lackadaisical the dressmaker had been during the whole evolution. Way too many "no problems" and "of course" and "don't worry!" to make me feel like she knew what she was really doing. She finished two days early, sweet. I called her and paid, then asked her to hang on to it since I wanted it in safe keeping, not in my car or house.

I got there the next day, the day before the wedding and she didn't have it. She made a mistake and shipped it to St Louis from Richmond VA two days before. After a few minutes of finding out where it went and calling the recipient, another bride waiting for a dress, I checked googlemaps and got on the road, then and there, less than 30 hours until the wedding. I called my sister (mother of the bride) and told her what was happening and forbade her from telling my niece. There was a backup wedding dress so it wasn't a total catastrophe, but tradition is tradition.

26 straight hours of driving later, the dress was getting unwrapped and my niece was putting it on for the big day. It was perfect and looked amazing on her. Then the group photo of all the other ladies who had worn it was taken. My niece never knew until months after the wedding when the dressmaker called her to apologize for the mix up. Damn that daffy dressmaker for doing that.

My niece is expecting a baby soon and I'm so stoked, I'll go the extra mile for her too if needed.

13. Well done, "CautiousShower."

Best man was wasted. We hid all the booze and made him take a cold shower. Sobered him up enough he didn't fall over during the ceremony.

Bride was already a little bridezilla-ish. She was fine but nobody wanted to ruin her mood and make that the thing that she remembered about her wedding. So we all made a pact to not tell her about it at all.

14. Oh man, "atreeofnight."

An hour or two before the wedding, I was walking through the bar area and heard the site coordinator say "What are you doing?" in an angry tone. The best man was behind the bar guzzling one of the bar's bottles of vodka. It was a cash bar and even if the alcohol had been pre-paid, it would still have been disgusting as that bottle would have been poured for the guests. I'm sure the coordinator would have thrown him out if he wasn't the best man. The bride and groom had been worried about this guy's ability to keep it together. Knowing what had happened would have maxed our their stress levels, so it's my secret.

Demi Lovato faces criticism after receiving free trip to Israel in exchange for social media posts.

The singer Demi Lovato received a lot of backlash after her Instagram posts about a recent free trip to Israel.

Lovato wrote about how she was raised Christian and has Jewish ancestors, so traveling to get baptized in the Jordan river felt emotionally significant.

She wrote:

"I am an American singer. I was raised Christian and have Jewish ancestors. When I was offered an amazing opportunity to visit the places I’d read about in the Bible growing up, I said yes."


"There is something absolutely magical about Israel. I’ve never felt such a sense of spirituality or connection to God…something I’ve been missing for a few years now. Spirituality is so important to me…to be baptized in the Jordan river – the same place Jesus was baptized – I’ve never felt more renewed in my life."

"This trip has been so important for my well-being, my heart, and my soul. I’m grateful for the memories made and the opportunity to be able to fill the God-sized hole in my heart. Thank you for having me, Israel."

While Lovato felt emotionally fulfilled by the trip, fans and critics alike felt strange about how she didn't acknowledge Palestine in her post, many taking that as an endorsement of the violence against Palestinians.

Lovato quickly muted the comments following a flood of backlash, which only made matters escalate more.

However, not everyone agreed with the criticisms of Lovato, and some claimed that enjoying religious sites is a far cry from supporting genocide.

It wasn't long before Lovato posted an apology on her Instagram stories.

She wrote:

"I'm extremely frustrated. I accepted a free trip to Israel in exchange for a few posts. No one told me there would be anything wrong with going, or that I could possibly be offending anyone. With that being said, I'm sorry if I've hurt or offended anyone — that was not my intention."

"Sometimes people present you with opportunities and no one tells you the potential backlash you could face in return. This was meant to be a spiritual experience for me, not a political statement and now I realize it hurt people and for that I’m sorry."

"Sorry I’m not more educated, and sorry for thinking this trip was just a spiritual experience. Going against all advice right now and apologizing because it feels right to me and I'd rather get in trouble for being authentic to myself, than staying quiet to please other people. I love my fans, all of them, from all over."

Unsurprisingly, Lovato's apology received mixed responses, with some admiring her transparency, while others didn't believe she went on the trip ignorant of the political implications.

It seems safe to say that Lovato might do more political homework before her next trip to a place charged with conflict.

It's the Obamas' 27th wedding anniversary, and their posts are making people nostalgic.

There are many glaring differences between President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump. Among the most obvious, and least consequential, is the fact that Obama actually loves his wife, and that Michelle lets him touch her and certainly loves him back.

October 3rd isn't just Mean Girls Day—it is also the Obamas' wedding anniversary. On October 3rd, 1992, the future First Couple was married in Chicago, and they continue to be adorable and in love to this day. Gross.

Like the gooeist, most in love couple you know, the Obamas shared tributes to one another on social media, and the cuteness is making people nostalgic.

Barack quoted The Beatles, and showed him and Michelle casually staring off into the sunset. He also revealed his special nickname for her: "babe."

Michelle's post included their faces, and cited the "magic" that brought them together years ago. She also revealed her special nickname for Barack: "this guy."

People are interpreting the Obamas' love for one another, Barack's quoting of "The Beatles," as a subtweet at Trump.

The Obamas are bigly missed.

The Obamas continue to be "relationship goals" for people in real marriages, and Melania Trump continues to be beautiful #inspo for everyone waiting for their husband to die so they can get the money.

Wedding photographer responds to criticism of ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ themed wedding photos.

It's bad enough people are dressing as "sexy handmaids" for Halloween, but a handmaid's tale wedding? No thanks.

When a photographer posted what was supposed to be a tribute to "The Handmaid's Tale" Cambridge setting, praise be it backfired. This is almost like when Kylie Jenner had a Handmaids birthday, but it might be even worse...

Praise be! Kendra & Torsten are married! 🙏🏻 If there’s any The Handmaid's Tale fans out there, you’ll know most of it is...

Posted by Van Daele & Russell on Wednesday, October 2, 2019

There are so many things wrong with this I don't even know where to begin. "The Handmaid's Tale" is set in a future dystopian nightmare American where the government has been overthrown by hyper-religious sexist monsters who trap fertile women into reproductive slavery. It's not exactly a romantic background for a wedding photo...

Also, what is this caption, "Along the hanging wall?" With a laughing emoji? WHAT IS HAPPENING? In the show, the hanging wall is where dead bodies are put on display to scare citizens of Gilead into following their insane rules. If you're a women who reads, you could end up on the wall. Sounds like the perfect background for your celebration of love!

Needless to say, people weren't into this idea...

Apparently the photographers responded to some comments claiming the reason for their photo shop job was activism:

Yikes. Under his eye!

Man who witnessed drive-by shooting as child asks if he's wrong to refuse fiance's request he go to therapy.

Healing from trauma is a long process that is neither linear or one-size-fits-all. Each person has a different way of coping with the most painful experiences in their life, and not even a partner can dictate that process for them.

On the other hand, therapy can be a great tool for anyone, no matter what they're going through. And if you're going to marry or partner with someone long-term, it's healthy for them to feel invested in your mental health and healing.

However, there is a firm line between expressing loving support to a partner, and becoming an armchair psychologist attempting to "fix" them. This line is different in every situation, but largely depends on open communication and an attentiveness to your partner's boundaries.

In a recent post on the Am I The *sshole subreddit, a man asked if he's wrong for refusing to start therapy after his fiance found out about a traumatic childhood experience.

"AITA for refusing to go to therapy after my fiance wanted me to go? She found out I saw someone die when I was 12 and thinks I am traumatized by it and need therapy."

"Me and my fiance went over her brothers last week and her brother had a gun of guns. I told him I was uncomfortable around guns because I grew up in a neighborhood that had a lot of gun violence and I would prefer if they didn't shoot any of them near me. One of them asked 'why it was so bad', and I told them how bad my old neighborhood was. I also mentioned I saw a drive by shooting when I was 12 that hit a guy and killed him."

The whole conversation was sparked when OP and his fiance visited her brother last weekend, and OP shared his discomfort around guns.

"My fiance sort of looked at me and said "how come you never told me this?" and I just said it never crossed my mind, and it was such a brief moment that I never thought it was a big deal. She was sour with me the entire night. At the end of the night, she asked me kind of angrily why I never told her that I saw someone get shot. I told her I never really thought it was a big deal and that it didn't affect me much because it was such a quick moment, and that I only found out he died the next day."

When OP opened up about the gun violence he grew up around, including a fatal drive by shooting he witnessed, his fiance got upset and demanded he go to therapy.

"She was quiet for a while, then asked again basically saying that its crazy I wouldn't think its a big deal to tell her something like that. She said that I could have PTSD and I need therapy and that she feels uncomfortable at the idea that I wouldn't tell her such a 'major part of my life' like that before we got married. Honestly, I just never thought about it that much. Some part of me thinks I shouldn't have even mentioned it at the table."

OP didn't appreciate his fiance's armchair diagnosis, and told her the drive-by wasn't even the most traumatizing part of his childhood.

"We've been arguing a bit on and off about this. She feels like she might have potentially married a traumatized person who was hiding their trauma, and that she feels like I have been dishonest with her on purpose, and she wants me to go to therapy. The thing is, she knew where I came from and how bad my neighborhood was. Seeing one guy get shot briefly was not the defining moment of the problems back then. I've also been to therapy for anxiety and she knows this, and I told her that I have mentioned my background, and she said I specifically need to see a trauma specialist."

OP's fiance suspects he kept this a secret on purpose, and feels it's imperative he sees a trauma specialist before they get married.

"I refused, almost on principle. Some part of me was kind of upset that I had this suburban wealthy girl telling me what is and what is not traumatizing about growing up in a high crime area. I know that sounds harsh, but the way she talks about it sometimes kinds of makes me think she views me as an inherently damaged person because of my upbringing and that nobody could possibly ever get past it."

However, for OP, this demand feels invasive and inappropriate, particularly since she has no idea what the emotional scope of his childhood was like.

Am I the a*shole for refusing? Am I the a*shole for not telling her sooner?"

k2dadub thinks OP and his fiance should go to couple's therapy.

"NAH- this sounds like a great time to do couples therapy so that you two can learn how to communicate more effectively before marriage."

iconoclast63 thinks OP's fiance is being completely inappropriate.

"NTA. Don't let her force you into a mental illness you don't have. There is a chance you may experience symptoms some time in the future or maybe never. It's up to you to decide when and how you deal with this."

Savbav only thinks OP should go to a trauma specialist if he wants to, or another professional urges him to.

"NTA. If the PROFESSIONAL you are seeing for your anxiety does not recognize PTSD symptoms in you and has not recommended a trauma specialist, then that's what matters. You probably don't need to see someone about your nonexistent PTSD. Your fiance is taking this out of proportion (because she provably has never been exposed to extreme neighborhhod violence- she's scared for you and is trying to sympathize for you), and it may be good to go to couples counseling instead- so she can learn what symptoms really are evident with people with PTSD and debilitating trauma. Good on you for seeing someone for your anxiety!"

greentea_macaron thinks it's a bad sign that OP's fiance made his trauma about her.

"NTA and seeing some red flags from her. A supportive partner should make the trauma about you. Instead she somehow made YOUR trauma about HER. I think you may have bigger problems if she has had other incidents like this."

vvousmevoyez pointed out how OP's fiance doesn't seem to grasp how differently people process trauma.

"It’s hard for some people to realize that traumatic events affect everybody differently. For some, witnessing a death might not even be traumatic at all. The girlfriend here is making some major assumptions that everybody should act and feel the same way when they witness something like death. There isn’t just one way for people react to something like that."

Hopefully, OP and his fiance are able to come to a mutual understanding and agreement about how to move forward. Couples therapy might be the healthiest move overall.
