Simple Questions That Reveal A Lot About People


Asking questions is how we get to know each other, and some totally innocuous questions have a way of revealing more about people than you'd think. Sometimes they're good for revealing red flags during job interviews or getting to the bottom of an awkward and bad first date. Also, definitely make sure anyone in your social circle is on the right side of the shopping cart theory of morality.

After they were introduced he asked my FIL what kind of animal he would be.

Do they take it too seriously and get competitive or angry if they don't do well? Does he act disinterested or bored of the game? Do they try to teach me how to play or do they just try to be goofy have fun with it? Do they order two pitchers of beer and get totally smashed? In my opinion you can learn

Font - pandaaadrew 11 hours ago When I was a manager in retail I used to ask the question "What was the last thing you've ever stolen?" during interviews. I was asked it during a previous interview for a job and I asked my manager why she asked it. It's a good way to tell if someone is capable of being honest and accountable in a situation that may not have favorable results (i.e. "screwing" up the interview). I noticed that most of my associates that answered the question honestly would usually

This is great because both extremes take pride in their answer and so will answer honestly. The no/low vacation boss is proud of how hard she or he works, but really it's bad if they don't take time off. They're coming in when they're sick, they're not recharging by taking vacation, and the expectation -- even if unstated -- is

A few will tell a story where they were a total jackass, but use it as an excuse to brag. It's rare you get someone who admits to a time they well and truly fucked up and were in the wrong.

Entitled Neighbor Refuses To Move Car, Righteous Towing Ensues


This isn't the first time we've encountered an entitled neighbor who refused to move their car out of a spot that it never should've been in. Honestly, we doubt it'll be the last time. You just never know if you're going to end up living next to a wildly unreasonable, and grossly entitled neighbor who refuses to play nice and get along. If this tale of petty revenge on a nasty neighbor got you going, check out another recent petty revenge story we ran about some nasty neighbors that vanquished a man's tomatoes, so he unleashed an ants army.

Since the snow people have been very haphazard and lax about moving their cars for when friends come over, which means my roommates and I (who each have a car so 4 cars for 2 spots) have at most had one spot open for us to park in. It's been a pain and the next door neighbors have been wayyyyy worse about leaving space for people, and don't move their cars when we ask anymor

You can afford to park in a marked spot that isn't yours? You can afford the tow bill. My happy ass pulled up into my cozy spot as the tow truck left a few minutes later. Oh, and I doubt it's just $150. I was feeling nosy and called the tow company the next morning to find out how much it cost to get the car out. $480.

Entitled People With Their Childish Demands


Nothing stirs the blood and busts out a wicked riff on the heartstrings quite like people who make insane demands of people while displaying absolutely no self reflection.

Tumblr Post: Brother Learns Lesson In Not Irritating The Chef


If you're going to insist on being rude to the very person that's going through the trouble of graciously whipping up a meal for you, then you're probably not going to get any food. Or, if you do get the food you'd best brace yourself for the food to be a little iffy at best.
