Woman Tells Boyfriend She'd Date His Twin


It's a truly puzzling matter as to how this woman's confused about her boyfriend and his twin being upset over her sharing that she'd date her boyfriend's twin. I mean, wildly inappropriate, no? We wish this was nothing more than a poorly constructed joke, but it doesn't appear so. Reddit's moral judges in the AITA community have spoken as well, and are in collective agreement that she was in the wrong.

The twin got busy last minute and gave the tickets to my boyfriend. 3 years later (Ilast week), my boyfriend's twin mentioned how crazy it is that my boyfriend wasn't even supposed to be at the place where we met, and how coincidence is wild. I laughed and said that I probably would've started dating the twin since they look so similar and the first topic of conversation that I had with my boyfriend is something the twi

Font - My boyfriend and his twin both got upset. My boyfriend was offended that I was attracted to a guy who looks just like him and is really similar to him. The twin was uncomfortable at the idea that I would be attracted to him, even though l'm literally dating someone who looks just like him. They both have been acting weird around me ever since the conversation. AITA for saying I would date my boyfriend's twin? 1 1.4k , 315 1 Share

I can understand what you said because I can see myself thinking about it too. you probably didn't meant it as anything other than a joke or silly comment of "oh wow things could have been so different!"

Unfair Manager Threatens Staff, They All Walk Out


It's everyone's fantasy at some point in time to be able to just say enough is enough and walk out the door of their job. These employees were put through enough that they felt it was a reasonable option. And not only that, they came back for burgers. For another satisfying walkout story, here's an employee who walked out but ended up getting promoted. And here are some "screw this, I'm out" moments.

Work a double and get written up...or oc M In high school a few friends and myself worked at a local chain restaurant. We were fully able to run the day shift but had never really broken down the equipment and closed up for the evening.

We turned in our hats, quit symbolically and left. It was really

Font - Later that same day, we decided return to our place of prior employment. To have dinner. The night shift must have still been sick as the entire restaurant was staffed with managers from nearby restaurants (same chain), including our day manager, who was now pulling her own double, and the night manager that had released us the prior evening. There was nothing better than eating our burgers and watching the management staff fail at every station and knowing that their pride, lack of ratio

Weirdest Things Teachers Had To Confiscate


One should fear the day that kids, being as dumb and weird as they are. start getting their own ideas about things. We remember the good old days of school, when someone got the bright idea to buy a gallon of soup or whatever and bring it to class. It was exciting to have weird and stupid contraband. But of course teachers have to do their job, so they end up having to confiscate some strange things. On the other side of things, here are teachers who pulled total bro moves.

Couple Hangs Shelf, Discovers Whole House Is Crooked


Maybe this couple's story about their unfortunate discovery will hit close to home for some folks. The reality is that there are a whole lot of apartments and homes out there that were built by folks that couldn't be bothered to do their one job correctly. So it goes, sometimes. Ignorance is really bliss though. The last thing you want to do is hang that shelf or picture on the wall and come to learn that your whole humble abode is just a little bit off kilter.
