It’s nice when you’re celebrating a special occasion and a restaurant goes out of its way to enhance the experience by providing you with a freebie like a dessert.

As a woman, there are only so many signals you can send to men that you don’t want to be approached. Some use the ubiquitous headphones-in-the-subway trick, others pretend to be on the phone when walking alone at night, or many simply stick to themselves and try not to draw too much attention. The latter might still fail, though, as one TikToker experienced firsthand. 

Melissa Garza (@melissagarzam) was minding her business inside an H-E-B in McAllen, Texas, when another woman handed her a napkin with a message written on it.

While drivers may have a favorite gas station, many are not above just going to the nearest one in a pinch. However, that may be a habit you want to halt because, according to one mechanic, where you get your gas from is important. 

In a viral TikTok posted by Pennsylvania Toyota Dealership South Hills Toyota (@south.hills.toyot), a man behind the camera asks a mechanic in front of the camera whether using “regular” gas messes up your engine. The mechanic responds that if your car calls for 87 grade, you won’t damage your engine using regular gas. But, what you should pay attention to is where you get your gas.

Ordering items for delivery or curbside pickup is supposed to be a convenience, but it can be frustrating when you get a message that your items are out of stock so you have to go in-store, potentially to a further location, to get the products you need. That’s what happened to a Walmart shopper who says she caught the pickup worker in a lie. 

In a viral video, Casey Hudson (@caseycakesssss) says, “The people who do your shopping for you at Walmart when you do curbside order pickup lie sometimes.”
