‘Most likely saved her life’: Woman attends friend’s bachelorette party. She accidentally ends up getting the wedding canceled

It’s normal for a bride-to-be to get cold feet before her big day. But are you a bad friend if you influence her one way or the other? That’s the question at the heart of a viral AITAH Reddit post.

In the post, Redditor u/FrostGlistenss, a 27-year-old woman, says she’s been friends with the bride, 28-year-old Amy, for years. Amy has been with her partner Jake for around three years, and OP describes him as “a walking red flag.” She says he is “super controlling, jealous, and always checking her location.” She even reports that he once called Amy nine times while they were just having a girls’ shopping trip at Target. Amy constantly comes to his defense, saying he is just overprotective because he cares so much.

‘Who is telling you to buy these?’: Woman tries to buy 7 gift cards at Walmart. Then a worker intervenes with an unusual question

Usually, buying a gift card is a simple transaction. You pick the one for the store the recipient would like best, or a Visa Vanilla if you want to give them the most choice, and head over to the checkout line where the cashier activates it for you. Simple, right? Well, not always. One Walmart shopper says trying to buy seven gift cards for the busy “Maycember” season almost turned out to be more hassle than it’s worth.

‘Who knew buying gift cards would be this intense?’

In a viral video, TikToker Twin Mom Life (@lifeinlincoln) says when she went to the cash register with her stack of gift cards, the cashier told her she would have to check out at customer service to buy “that many.” She obliged and was surprised when the worker began asking her a series of seemingly invasive questions.

‘I just know the staff had a team meeting after this’: Woman tries to buy rope at Home Depot while crying. Then a worker intervenes

In the clip, Watkins subjects a poor, unassuming Home Depot worker to mental distress, all in an attempt to buy some rope. However, context is everything.

‘This is a way for them to make money‘: Customer shares how restaurants are tricking you by giving you free chips, bread when you first sit down

There’s something so primal and satisfying about sharing a warm loaf of bread or basket of chips fresh from the fryer before a good meal.

But have you ever stopped to wonder why restaurants hand out free food? They literally have to sell you food to make a profit, so it does seem rather counterintuitive that they give some of their wares away for free.
