'She said a lot of stuff...but I, well, just don't care?': Woman asked to financially support her brother's ex-wife despite barely knowing her


This woman learned from her parents that her brother, with whom she has a contentious relationship, to put it mildly, is going through a divorce. Not only that, but now his soon-to-be ex-wife has already reached out to her for money.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/AmIHerSister, who shared that she and her sister-in-law barely even knew each other. They only had polite interactions and rarely hung out (the Redditor's husband wasn't even invited to the wedding!). But what really set the Redditor off (and upset people in the comments section as well) was that her sister-in-law co-opted the "women support other women" rhetoric and applied it to this situation. It's a tough argument to make when the sister-in-law never extended that same courtesy herself to the Redditor. Additionally, the Redditor made it clear that she's not swimming in superfluous money and has her own family to take care of.

'Coworker told me that the reason I got a promotion was because of my breast size': Guy can't handle woman's response after making inappropriate workplace comments


There are just some things that should never be uttered out loud; heck, even thinking them is bad karma. Passing comments on any stranger's physical traits is one of these things that should never be done, especially if that person is someone who you have a professional relationship with… and ESPECIALLY if those comments have a sexual connotation. If you somehow manage to make all these mistakes at once, you're practically begging for a conversation with HR followed by a swift escort from the building.

This really should all go without saying; it's not even a conversation we should still need to have. 

Reddit user u/Oaks20173 was faced with such a comment when her coworker claimed (to her face) that she had received a promotion because of her breast size. She responded with a quick retort that most of us would only think about in the shower hours later, "And the reason you got a demotion was because of your brain size!!!" she reports saying. 

The coworker couldn't hack it and has been sulking ever since. Commenters in the thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A**hole) subreddit earlier this week, are encouraging the poster to take the issue to HR before she loses the chance.

Funniest Memes About Dating App Fails We Saw This Week


Dating apps are kind of like the wild wild west. Sure, there are some completely normal people who use them, but you will always be able to find your fair share of insane people. But maybe we kind of like the selection. Sometimes seeing someone who is terribly obnoxious makes us feel a little better about ourselves. After all, looking at beautiful people all day cannot be 100% good for you, especially if you aren't able to match with any of them. Then again, we've heard that the apps take track of who swipes right on you and they basically can make an assumption about how hot you are. Its that a bit humbling? Depends on what your feed looks like we guess.

 

Anyway, if you're amazingly gorgeous and you never have the luxury of seeing creepy profiles, well, today is your lucky day. Let's get into the dating app fail memes.
