What Fashion Trend Did You Hate?

There are rumblings within the deep crevices of society that 2000’s fashion trends like low rise jeans and skintight clothing. For some, it’s deeply concerning as they are reminded of these atrocities thanks to Facebook memories and Buzzfeed articles already. For others, they have a very valid concern that these trends aren’t inclusive of all body types.

Stowaway Legend Arrested Again at O’Hare

Marilyn Hartman, the woman who snuck onto a London-bound flight in 2018, was caught attempting to do the same thing yesterday at O’Hare. She claims to have taken more than 30 flights without a ticket in her lifetime. She doesn’t need a ticket to paradise, she’s living it.

Why Did Elon Musk Turn Down $1 Million Dollars?

NFT’s are all the rage right now, but not even the world’s newly crowned richest man can fully get in on the action. Musk announced that he was going to sell one of his tweets as a NFT, but when a bidder offered him $1.1 million for the rights to the non-fungible token, Musk balked at the idea and revoked his offer, noting that it “just didn’t feel right”.

Get Free Sandwiches for Wearing a Mask

As we (hopefully) hit the tail end of this pandemic, Manny’s Deli in the South Loop is issuing a challenge to continue to keep customers safe. They said, “if we go 30 days without having to ask anyone to put a mask on or properly wear your mask, we will give away free sandwiches for the day.” The location has struggled making it past a few hours without reminding customers of their mask rule for most of the pandemic.

Please, Chicago, we need this! Mask up and eat up!

How Were You Ripped Off?

A man in Florida is feeling the brunt of a bad decision. After seeing a woman for months for botox injections, the man suggested that he get a nose job. One problem, the woman giving him the botox had no license. The amateur surgeon botched the man’s nose job not once, but twice, and then prescribed him painkillers under another doctor’s name. SKETCHY!

Have You Ever Cheated to Win?

A mother in Florida has been charged with a variety of digital-based crimes after she hacked into her daughter’s school district’s computers to manipulate votes in her daughter’s favor for Homecoming Court. Police say they found 170 votes going towards her daughter coming from the same IP address. To make matters worse, the mother responsible for this was an assistant principal at an elementary school in the same district.

Have you ever cheated to win anything? Maybe you haven’t cheated, but the way you won was shady. We want to hear all about it. Hit us up on Facebook and let us know what went down!

Karen’s Strike in Sacramento!

“This neighborhood is full of Karen’s” reads a sign hanging out in front of a home in Sacramento. A mother of 7 is sick of people calling the cops on her kids for skateboarding in front of their own house, as she should be. Skateboarding is exercise, skateboarding is fun, and skateboarding is creative. LET KIDS SKATEBOARD IN FRONT OF THEIR OWN HOME.

The Male Karen that is interviewed is completely at fault. You didn’t move into a library, pal, people live around you and they’re living their life.

You’ve Been Sitting On Your Toilet Incorrectly

For years, humans have dealt with immense discomfort and have found extreme comfort while sitting on the humble toilet. It is a device crafted by masters and used by every day citizens. As a society, we thought we had mastered the toilet. We were horribly mistaken, though, as you can see from the video below.

Do you have any toilet tricks? What hidden hacks go on in the bathroom? Let us know over on our Facebook page!

Do You Have a Hazing Story?

An Indiana University sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma Delta, is facing serious allegations of hazing after a recruit exposed their “blow or blow” ritual, which forced recruits to choose between a sex act and doing cocaine. The sisters of the house claim it was all a joke and that no one was forced to do either, but the whistleblower also noted that she was struck in the back of the head with a paddle.

Do you have a hazing story? It’s an unfortunate part of life that so many people have to go through. Let us know on Facebook what it is that you had to do!

Six “Red Flags” You Need to Be Aware Of

Emma Davey, a narcissistic abuse recovery coach at My Trauma Therapy has developed a list of signs to avoid when it comes to relationships. These are all based the idea that your partner could be dangerously narcissistic.

  1. Lying: narcissists never tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Everything has to be spun in their own way.
  2. Manipulation and Control: believe it or not, a narcissist wants everything to be about them!
  3. The Need for Validation: Any form of a relationship involves give-and-take when it comes to affirmation, but someone that is constantly prying at you for more and more validation could be dangerously affecting your mental health.
  4. Lack of Empathy and Inability to Apologize: despite what Timbaland and One Republic might tell you, it’s not too late to apologize. That is, if you’re capable of doing it in the first place. We’re all going to be wrong eventually. Take it on the chin and say you’re sorry when you need to.
  5. Gaslighting: gaslighting is when a person tries to convince somebody else (the victim) that they are wrong about something, when in fact they are not. A narcissist will use this tactic to brainwash their victims.
  6. Lack of Respect for Boundaries: Narcissists know no bounds. They will constantly push and push until they have sent you over the edge. Even in the closest of relationships, boundaries are an absolute necessity.

If any of these sound like your partner, it might be time to sit down and have a talk with them. If any of these sound like you, then just remember it’s not too late to steer the ship in a different direction.
