Entitled bridesmaid invites her sister to her friend's wedding unprompted then backs out, bride disinvites the sister: 'Now Stacy doesn’t talk to me anymore'
In every wedding party, there is at least one person who manages to make the entire ceremony about themselves, and it's often not the person getting married.
For those of you who have had the sometimes fortunate and oftentimes unfortunate experience of being a part of a bridal party, you likely know that the organization of a wedding with a group like that can reveal people's true colors. Sure, we tend to discuss how this manifests in the bride and groom's behavior, but it can also come from friends and family from childhood, school, and everywhere in between.
In this instance, the author's bridesmaid insisted that her sister come to her friend's wedding, despite the fact that the two barely knew one another. At first, the author was fine with it because she thought the sister would be the bridesmaid's plus one. Then, the bridesmaid revealed that her spouse was, in fact, coming as well. So this was an additional guest that she just felt entitled to invite.
Eventually, as the wedding approached, the bridesmaid needed to pull out of the ceremony because she was very pregnant at the time. Not a problem, but the sister decided that she still needed to come. This drove the bride understandably insane.
'She came to us, screaming because she couldn't see': Wonderful woman saves blind kitten from the street, heals her sight while the cat heals her heart
Saving kittens from the street is one thing. A noble thing indeed, don't get us wrong about this statement for one second. Saving kittens from the street and giving them a loving home, a safe space, and an opportunity to grow up and enjoy life is one of the best things people can do. Such a compassionate deed, such a wholesome experience. Every person who saved a kitten it's like they saved a whole world, full of fluff, love, and affection. And we're so proud of these people.
But it's a whole other, transcendental level of compassion to save sickly kittens, with such low chances of survival. But that's where the meowsterious magic of the Cat Distribution System comes into play - this unseen force of nature knows which cat to send to which human. And when it comes to sickly kittens, like this blind little floofball below, the CDS knew to read the heart of the human who saved her. And this woman needed saving just as much as that smol kitten needed. The bond that was bound between these two is so strong, it will last more than a lifetime.
When a person is in need of some emotional support, there's nothing like the meowntal health boost a cat can bring. And this kitten, once blind and sick, is now a seeing and healthy cat, loved and supported by the woman who saved her, and being saved by her cat every day again.
Mechanic orders 18,000 Euros in parts after the shop foreman approves, then his boss threatens to cut his wages and blames him for following the process: ‘The only reason I did not quit on the spot is that I'm in the process of buying a house’
This shop manager accused an employee of costing the company eighteen thousand euros by ordering parts without approval, threatening to take the sum out of their pay, while the rest of the staff pretended not to hear a thing as the foreman backed up the paperwork. This is just another shift at a place where shouting counts as workflow management and following instructions is a gamble taken daily with someone else's money. Everyday drama in a repair shop where ordering parts turns into a professional hazard and basic workplace skills get punished on a whim.
23 Feline Funnies for People Who Wish They Were More Cat Than Cats
Ah, to be a cat. To move around the house as the sun moves slowly in the sky, looking for the next optimal sunbeam spot to nap in. To loaf in any spot you'd like, just to assert dominance by being that chill. To look at every room you enter and think for yourself "I can spot at least five comfortable nap places, and there's nothing and no one that can stop me from reaching there". To know that if you make cute sounds treats come in packets, but honestly? They come even if you're just… kind of there. Cats live their best cozy life, and we're standing on the sidelines, adoring them.
And, oh boy, do we adore cats. We love their floofy fur and how they let us pet it. We appreciate their biscuit-making skills, especially if they do it on our laps. And we adore their supreme reign over our houses, gardens, and streets. Cats are the kings and queens of this Earth, and we are but their humble hooman servants, purroud catslaves, ever loyal subjects in their eternal kingdoms that we call "our homes".
We just wish we could be cats, even if only for one day. Cats are so majestic, so meowgnificent, so purrecious. How could anybody not want to be a cat?
Woman decides she is no longer hosting Christmas for her extended family of 15+ people, leading her family to declare that she is being a "Grinch": 'The whole family is acting like I have cancelled Christmas.'
It can be satisfying to host a large-scale event, but only once all is said and done—everyone has long gone, and you can finally take a seat and decompress and debrief with the closest friends and family who still remain. All that planning, and coordinating, and executing, and cooking, and cleaning… all that energy and time just to make sure that everyone has had a good time, all of that now behind you, you can finally enjoy it retrospectively.
It really goes without saying that a large event is absolutely exhausting. Especially so when it's with family, since you put all that effort in just to create what is a veritable powder keg waiting to detonate, carefully avoiding topics that will light up the room in all the wrong ways and cautiously disengaging from when those relatives bring up controversial subjects or try to stick to a
It's all glamorous on paper: warm smiles, everyone laughing together, and remembering things that happened years ago, all in the setting of good food and decorations like it's some sort of Hallmark holiday movie.
In this case, after being the de facto host for a great many family holiday events, this woman decided that she was no longer going to shoulder the burden of making everything work for her entire family. She announced that she would not be hosting the next Christmas, giving her family plenty of time to sort out an alternative. They, however, thought that she was being a "grinch" and "cancelling" Christmas, and seemed unwilling and unable to start planning an alternative for themselves.
All anyone else saw was the perfectly executed event, and since everything seemed effortless, they assumed that it was so. Or, maybe they knew more than they were willing to admit to, owing to the fact that nobody else is willing to host. The fact that the entire rest of the family has been blithely unable to organize one gathering without this one member's input speaks volumes to the amount of weight that was being placed on her hosting.
Hosting is, of course, much easier if everyone is willing to chip in and help out. But when the groupthink leads everyone to decide that they can just show up without contributing, it can become a massive burden.
‘[He] doesn't do anything but buy the cat food': Boss mistreats his “pet” cat, so his employees come together to take care of the cute kitty and save it from a life of neglect
We were shocked to learn that not everyone treats their cats like royalty. What do you mean you don't cater to your cat's every whim and desire? What do you mean you don't change up their treats every few days so they don't get bored with the same ones? Does that mean that you also don't have certain meowsical playlists for them depending on their mood? Some people actually treat them like pets, and some, even worse.
The life of a bodega cat isn't always glamorous, but it works for some of them. If the owner takes care of them, gives them a litter box and plenty of food, some of them don't mind. But not every bodega cat lives a purrfectly fulfilling life. Some shop owners treat them like mascots, there to pull people into their shop with their feline charm, but the cats don't get anything in return. Lucky for the cute kitty below, the boss's employees have been cleaning up after the bodega kitty, telling his "owner" when he's sick, and caring for him as he should be.
But they've had enough. They're sick of seeing this boss neglect the cat that makes his store feel homey, who is being used like a prop and not treated like a beloved pet, and they're considering helping the cat "escape". Cats escape all the time, right? It wouldn't be so meowtrageous to come in one day, and the cat is no longer there… wink wink.
15+ Receptionists who got even with their entitled customers: 'It felt so good to stand up to him'
Receptionists are powerful people, so don't get on their bad sides!
People believe that those with power are like, CEOs and other higher-ups. But those with the real power in a workplace are the ones managing them, like their assistants, and in many cases, the front desk receptionists. These workers have a vast control over the day-to-day flow of the workspace, and it can make a huge difference in how the entire company operates.
You've probably experienced this firsthand. At some doctor's offices, the receptionist is calm and composed, and the office runs like a smoothly oiled machine because of it. But then sometimes you go to another place where the receptionist is overwhelmed and dealing with irritating customers, and you can just tell they're frazzled. Things don't run nearly as smoothly, and stuff falls through the cracks.
After working in reception for some time, these front desk workers have seen it all, and they're sharing their stories. They know exactly how to deal with clients who come in all worked up — how to calm them down, or if that doesn't work, how to get them to leave and never come back!

Home seller forced to leave smart home devices behind, despite insisting to buyers they won't work anymore, leading seller to mess with the system: ‘I thought to have fun with it’
When you decide to sell your house and move to a different home, you do it knowing that some of your beloved belongings will have to stay behind. Moving always forces you to look at all the stuff you've accumulated so far and consider what must come with you and what is no longer needed.
Now, smart home devices are a tricky one. On one hand, you probably want your next home to be a "smart" one as well, and those devices usually cost a lot of money. On the other hand, those devices might not work as well in your new home, and removing and then re-installing them might amount to more work than just buying a new system.
That is why the home seller in the story below planned on selling these devices to the buyers and even offered to help them figure out how to use them. The buyers, however, refuse to pay any money and insist that the seller just leave the devices for them to figure out alone.
The seller complied, knowing fully well the system would not work without their involvement. Then they decided to prove that to the entitled buyers…

Colleague rectifies accountant's failure to chase their customers' payments dating back over a year, accountant gets mad when they stop doing her work for her: ‘I caught her scowling at me’
You know that one coworker who keeps their job against all odds? Yeah, the one who doesn't know anything about the role they are supposed to be working in, but still, somehow stays afloat by the skin of their teeth? Why do we cover for those colleagues? A combination of factors will prompt us hard workers to cover the tracks of those who do not know how to do it themselves. However, mainly, you never want to assume someone is purposely falling behind because they don't want to work. You hope that they will appreciate your help and apply your teachings accordingly, rather than taking advantage of your intellect and kindness, and try to make you do their work for the rest of your time at the company.
Wishful thinking is a disease, and we must all get well soon if we are going to persevere in the rough waters of corporate America. Corporate wherever, really.
The accountant in the story below works in Accounts Receivable and reveals to a colleague that they haven't been chasing payments from several customers of the company. Essentially, her entire job. Now, her colleague decides to go through the work of learning new skills to clean up her mess. She receives praise for it, and the accountant complains about having to resume her job duties. Talk about entitled. What would you do in the colleague's position?
Dumpster kitten who was accidentally left behind after all her siblings were rescued spots her chosen human, runs right up to them and gets herself adopted: 'She was skinny, shivering, and SCREAMING'
Something that we always tell people when they rescue a kitten from the streets is to stop and look for others. Sometimes, kittens may wander off on their own into the world, and maybe that lonely one is the one that you will find. But more often than not, kittens run in groups, especially at such young ages. And when you rescue one kitten, there is a good chance that there might be another nearby. Look for more. Look carefully. Otherwise, things like this might happen.
This kitten's whole family was rescued, and she… was somehow missed. This little one probably wandered off on her own, went back, and suddenly couldn't find her siblings. Thankfully, the result for this kitty was a pawsitive one. She decided that she prefers not to live alone, that it's time to get adopted, so she chose her humans, did what she needed to do, and found herself a home. We hope every kitten's story ends like this one, but just in case it does not, go and have another look, make sure to not leave anyone behind.
18-year-old gets even with entitled stepfather for keeping the bathroom dirty, gives him a taste of his own medicine: 'After 2 good weeks, he started behaving and keeping the bathroom clean'
This 18-year-old returned home for her first Thanksgiving weekend with her family since starting college, and it did not take long for her to reignite her ongoing feud with her entitled stepfather.
This dude was a manchild, pure and simple. He completely lacked the ability to clean up after himself, often leaving the bathroom in a state of total disarray. It was as if he expected all the women in his household to fix his messes for him. His entitlement was unique. It wasn't like he ordered anyone around. It was just ingrained behavior.
Well, the author of this story was never a fan of his, and the way he frequently refused to clean the bathroom became emblematic of a larger problem within the family. So, she started tampering with his bath products and making his experience just as messy. She also constantly alerted her mother every time her stepfather left a gross mess in the house.
Eventually, his behavior improved, but as she states in her story, once she left for college, those old habits came back. Now that she's here for the weekend, she only has a limited amount of time to ensure that he takes care of his things again.
28 Funniest Feline Memes to Get You Warmed Up for the Weekend
We love our cats during every season; when it's hot outside, when it's cold, and any time in between. But, if you were to twist our arms, we might admit that we love our cats the most during the winter.
You see, when winter comes, a few changes embark upon our cats that simply make them purrfect–first, the cuddles. The chilly air makes our cats want to cuddle with us in bed and never leave. They go under the covers, they sit on top of our cold feet, and they warm us up better than any heater or blanket.
The second change actually relates to our cats' appearances. During the summer, our cats shed… a lot. They are hot, and they don't need all that fur, so that fur ends up as hairballs on the floor, next to our pillows, and in our food. But in the winter, that fur is necessary, so our cats hold on to every hair of it. That is why they become these majestic, beautiful fluff balls that we simply cannot ignore. We can pet them all day long and never get tired of it.
We can also scroll through these hissterical cat memes all day long, make sure you do the same!
31 Warm n' Fuzzy Memes for Cat Lovers Who Would Rather Spend the Holidays With Their Chosen Family (the Cat)
Friendly felines don't argue about politics over turkey supper; cats beg for a slice of the dark meat and purr on your lap after you chow down on some pumpkin pie.

Software developer discovers his friend's entire tech career and CV is built on "fictional" experience and fake references, questions how he's never been caught, whilst making tons of money: 'He knows his limits and makes sure it's work he can deliver'

'It’s almost like she fell from the sky': A cold, hungry kitten appears from nowhere and lands in the arms of the perfect person to rescue and adopt her
After more than 15 years working in the veterinary field, this rescuer has saved countless animals, but nothing compares to the night a kitten seemed to appear out of nowhere. Returning home around 10 p.m., they were closing the gate to their rural property when a faint sound interrupted the quiet. Turning around, they found a tiny kitten running toward them, meowing loudly and seemingly falling straight into their life. Cold, soaked from the weather, and immediately trusting, she practically leapt into their arms.
With no homes nearby, no car lights, and no sign of anyone else around, the situation felt almost magical. How did she end up there? Was she abandoned along the road? Or, did a mysterious kitten-delivering stork drop her off at just the right moment?
Regardless of how she arrived, one thing quickly became clear: this little cat landed in the purrfect place. Now warm, safe, and adored, she has become one of the sweetest, softest companions her rescuer has ever known. It's a reminder that sometimes the best pets find us, not the other way around and they arrive exactly when we need them most.
