A school suspended a 14-year-old student for recording a teacher yelling at him. The recording was the only reason his parents found out what had been happening.

The boy had been coming home unusually quiet for weeks. His father assumed it was normal teenage behavior until the school called to report that he had been disrespectful in class.

The parents asked what happened. The principal said the student had disrupted a lesson and refused to follow instructions. Then the boy showed his father a 42-second recording on his phone.
In it, the teacher could be heard shouting, "If you think you're smarter than everybody else, teach the class yourself."
The boy responded, "I was only asking why my answer was marked wrong."
The teacher told him to leave the classroom.

Watching the doorbell cam footage back of my porch tonight and I love kids.

One kid says, “bro, it says take one!”
Other kid says, “I know but my sister loves ring pops I gotta get her one!”
First kid thinks for a minute then says, “yeah that’s probably okay.”
It is. It’s okay.

I was still on the phone with my sister when he bent me over the counter and pushed in raw.
She was talking about her weekend. I had the phone on speaker. He came up behind me, skirt up, panties aside, and slid in deep. Slow at first so I wouldn’t gasp. Then harder. One hand over my mouth. The other on my hip. I kept answering her. Voice steady. Came once with my forehead on the counter, trying not to moan. He didn’t stop. Stayed buried and filled me while she kept talking.

When was the last time you sat quietly for 10 minutes without checking your phone, worrying about tomorrow, or thinking about yesterday?

Just you, your breath, and the present moment.

Could you do that today?

친구랑 밥 먹으러 갔다가
계산대에서 내가 협찬 구걸한 사람이 돼 있었음.
나는 그냥 취미로 맛집 블로그 하는데
방문자 하루 백 명도 안 됨.
친구도 그거 알고 있었고.

그날 친구가 가보고 싶은 식당 있다길래 같이 갔음.
파스타 두 개에 피자 하나 시켜서 잘 먹었는데
계산할 때 친구가 갑자기 사장님한테 그러더라.
“아까 말씀드린 블로거가 얘예요.”
뭔 소린가 해서 쳐다봤더니
사장님이 좀 난처한 얼굴로

“네. 그런데 말씀드렸듯이 저희가 따로 협찬은 안 해서요.”
알고 보니까 내가 주차하는 동안
친구가 먼저 들어가서
블로거 데려왔으니까 식사 제공해줄 수 있냐고 물어봤던 거임.
사장님은 그때 이미 거절했고.

근데 친구가 내 팔을 툭 치면서

“얘가 사진도 엄청 많이 찍었는데
그래도 좀 빼주실 수는 없어요?”
나는 음식 나오면 원래 사진 찍음.
그걸 할인 협상 자료로 쓰고 있었던 거.

그래서 바로 말했음.

“저는 그런 얘기 한 줄 몰랐어요.
그냥 계산해주세요.”
그랬더니 친구가 웃으면서
“아, 얘가 이런 얘기를 직접 하는 걸 좀 쑥스러워해서.”

진짜 그 말 듣고 확 짜증 나더라.

“쑥스러운 게 아니라 부탁한 적이 없다고.
너 거절당한 거 알고도 왜 또 그래?”

그제야 카드 꺼내는데
지갑을 얼마나 세게 여는지
자기 돈 누가 뺏어가는 줄 알았음.
각자 계산하고 나왔더니
친구가 나한테 서운하대.

“내가 뭐 나 혼자 공짜로 먹겠다고 그랬어?
너도 좋으라고 한 건데
사람들 앞에서 그렇게 선을 그어?”
그러고는 집에 가는 길에 톡이 옴.

‘후기 쓸 때 사장 불친절했다고는 꼭 써.
말투 진짜 별로였음.’

내가 사진 찍기 편하게 접시까지 돌려주시던 분인데.
그래서 답했음.

‘그럼 계산할 때 있었던 일도 그대로 쓸게.’

한참 입력 중 뜨더니 답장이 왔음.

‘내 얘기는 왜 써?’

[BayoX @realbayoX]

My ex and I broke up five months ago, but I was still using his DoorDash account. He had the DashPass, so delivery was free, and I kept telling myself I'd make my own account "once things calmed down at work." Things did not calm down at work.

One Thursday night I opened the app to order dinner and noticed the delivery address had a new label. It used to say "Home." Now it said "Please Stop Eating On My Subscription."

I laughed so hard I almost dropped my phone, because I knew exactly who had done it……

[Sophia ❣️ @KeruboSk]

My daughter called me three days before her graduation.
“Mom, I don’t think you should come.”
I was confused.
“I’ve already booked my ticket.”
She sighed.
“It’s complicated. Please don’t make this difficult.”
I had raised her alone after her father left us.
I had worked extra shifts to pay her tuition.
And now she was telling me not to attend the biggest day of her life.
I asked her why.
She refused to explain.
I eventually agreed not to go.
But on graduation day, one of her classmates posted a photograph online.
I opened it.
My daughter was standing on stage with her diploma.
And in the front row sat a woman wearing my daughter’s favorite color.
The caption read, “So proud of my second mom.”
I stared at the screen.
I recognized the woman.
It was my former husband’s new wife.
The same woman he had started a new life with years ago.
I called my daughter.
She didn’t answer.
I sent her the photograph.
A few minutes later, she called back.
“Mom, please don’t misunderstand.”
I asked her one question.

Being busy and being productive are two completely different thing.

[Ella @EllasArchive1]

Our HR manager nearly fainted when she discovered who had applied for the vacant receptionist position.

It was our CEO.

Not someone with the same name.

Not a prank.

Our actual CEO.

It started on a Tuesday morning when HR received an application through the company’s recruitment portal.

The applicant’s name was David Williams.

Previous experience: 18 years in corporate management.

Expected salary: Negotiable.

Reason for applying: “I believe in understanding an organisation from every level.”

HR found it strange but didn’t think much of it.

Until she opened the CV.

The photograph was unmistakable.

It was the CEO.

She immediately called the Finance Director.

HR: “Please come to my office.”

Finance Director: “What’s wrong?”

She turned her laptop around.

He stared at the screen.

Finance Director: “Is that…?”

HR: “Yes.”

Finance Director: “Why is he applying for receptionist?”

HR: “That’s exactly what I’m trying to understand.”

They decided to investigate.

But the CEO had already scheduled an interview.

And HR was instructed to conduct it without knowing anything about the applicant.

Apparently, he wanted to see how the recruitment process worked.

[CitizensObs @kufrekoffi]

The cooperative society deducted ₦7,500 from every member’s salary every month for a “housing savings scheme.”

There were 412 members.

The monthly total was ₦3.09 million.

After two years the treasurer announced that the society had acquired land and that members could begin to apply for allocation.

Only 28 members were allocated plots.

All 28 were either related to the exco or worked in the same department as the treasurer.

The remaining members were told the land had been exhausted.

A member who kept her payslips for three years calculated the total contribution at ₦74.16 million.

She asked for the survey plan and the deed of assignment.

The treasurer said the documents were still being processed at the land registry.

She visited the registry herself.

No application had been filed in the society’s name.

She photographed the search result and shared it with 60 other members.

They contributed money and hired a lawyer.

The lawyer wrote to the society’s bank and requested the statements for the entire period.

When I was out of a job, damn broke, could not afford to feed my family.

I decided to use my car to do bolt, to sustain my family since I can’t beg people for food.

The first day, I picked a girl and her friend at Gwarimpa to Wuse.

One of the girls insulted my life that day, when my app stopped working and I missed my route.

A small girl for that matter.

This was the conversation:

Small girl: Oga, wetin dey worry you? You no sabi road.

Me: My app just stopped working and I don’t know this road, I will figure it out.

Small girl: So you don’t know the road and you’re doing Bolt?

Me: I’m sorry, today is my first day.

Small girl: Who even gave you a car to be driving?

Me: It’s my car. I needed money to support my family.

Small girl: I didn’t even ask you all this. You’re just salaye, rubbish.

I felt like slapping but just have to keep calm.

Shortly, my app restored and I reconnected to the fast route.

I dropped her somewhere in Wuse and drove straight home.

I’m done for the day.

That insult was too much for me to go for another trip, and I don’t have food stuff at home for my family.

Please be kind to those ride hailing drivers, na condition make some of them to hustle in that situation.

A woman contacted me one afternoon and asked for the price of rice.

I gave her the price, and her response was, “Ah! Let me check somewhere else first.”

I smiled and told her no problem.

A few hours later, she came back with a different story.

Apparently, she had bought rice somewhere else because it was cheaper. But when she got home and measured what she bought, she realised the quantity wasn’t what she expected.

She called me again and said, “I should have just bought from you.”

That day reminded me of something: cheap is not always affordable, and quality is not something you should gamble with.

At Accurate Measure Food Items Store, I don’t just want to sell foodstuff. I want you to get value for every naira you spend.

Rice, beans, garri, palm oil, groundnut oil, pasta and more.

We sell wholesale and retail.

Women don't want you to take them seriously.
​
​If you take a woman seriously,
​She will take you lightly.
​If you take a woman lightly,
​She will take you seriously.
​
​Even if she says otherwise,
​She actually doesn't want you to take her too seriously.
​Women love being treated like a child.
​Women love turning off their brain and trusting their man's lead.
​Women love being goofy.
​
​All she craves is a man who's a leader, takes accountability, and never loses his composure,
​So she can bring out her inner child and relax into her femininity.
​
​Whether it's a first date or a lifetime together,
​Every woman is screening for a man who has those capabilities (leadership, emotional intelligence, composure, etc.).
​If you have these traits,
​The game is simple for you.
​
​If you don't have these traits,
​Develop them.
​Not just with women.
​As a man, this is the bare minimum.

The local newspaper refused to publish a teenager's obituary because he was still alive.

His family had submitted it themselves, insisting the newspaper had misunderstood the situation.
Then the editor read the final paragraph.
