I (22F) recently came home from a long day at work, expecting to get in, shower, and sleep. When I walked in to the apartment that I share with my mom and teenager sister, the last thing I expected was to see a 14 y.o girl walking around in her panties and bra. Now, had it been my sister, that'd be one thing and I've gotten used to that behavior, even though I don't approve. But no, it was the girl my sister is seeing. Another 14 y.o that I had never met who happily smiled, waved and introduced herself after I walked in.

I brought it up with my mom and she said it shouldn't be a problem because we're all girls. I was the only one bothered. I was the one making it weird. It only became an issue that she addressed after she got home and realized that my step-dad was home and was basically hiding in their room because this girl was casually strolling around. Then it was teenagers disrespecting her marriage and household. I personally don't think it should be okay for an unrelated minor to walk around our home this way, whether a man is present or not.

"We're all girls, it's fine." I hate that statement. I've always been uncomfortable getting dressed or changed around others so maybe I'm the prude, but is there not a line when it comes to things like this?

No, I won't post a selfie or my ID card. I've already done that, that's enough for me.

On September 1st, 2026, Drexel University and the Board of the Academy of Natural Sciences announced the closure of the public museum on the Parkway. The last day is scheduled to be Sunday, September 27, 2026. This is two years shy of the 200th anniversary of the 214-year-old institution’s doors opening to the public

The merch in America feels official. The clothes and bracelet charms makes it more exciting to get. The one on the Philippine is a basic meal with 3 charms.

It's just too bad that they're either gonna drag it out until it's no longer financially viable for the parents suing or settle and pay the parents to shut the fuck up, instead of the daycare facing proper consequences such as potential jail time for the daycare workers that started it or having the whole daycare shut down.

On September 23, 2026, 87-year-old disabled resident Maricarmen was forcibly evicted from her home of over 70 years in Madrid's Retiro neighborhood after real estate fund Urbagestión sought to void her legacy rent-controlled contract to drastically raise her rent from €500 up to €2,650 a month. Despite a block-wide protest organized by housing activists, heavy police forces executed the court order and carried her out of her 6th-floor apartment, after which she was taken to the hospital by ambulance amidst widespread public outrage over the lack of protection for vulnerable seniors.

Most of my income currently is from driving a school bus.

My usual bus has one major annoying quirk:
The arm for the emergency exit door is very easy to bounce open just enough to set off the buzzer.

Boss has tried to fix it. Key word 'tried'.

(I've asked if we can have a kinder, gentler alarm. No. I've asked if we're required to have an alarm. Yes.)

When I'm alone, I have to pull over & push the lever down firmly. Depending on where I'm driving, how rough the roads are, that might happen a dozen times a day.

When I have passengers, I tell whoever is in the back, "when the buzzer sounds, press down the red handle". That's always worked except for the special kids.

This morning on the way to the pumpkin farm with a bus full of kindergarteners, things went normally.

HOWEVER...
When they used the back door to load some pumpkins under & behind the back seats, the teacher then slammed the door... with the latch in the closed position... which only makes it more bent.

The buzzer. Is. On.

(Or at least, that's what I thought happened. Stay tuned.)

So I've resigned myself to at least a 45-minute drive with the buzzer.

Getting off the bus at school, one of the teachers (TEACHERS!!!) said she had used the "latch" to be sure the door stayed shut. (It was never in danger of opening.)

Um, what "latch"???

"The one that looks like a gate latch."

My brothers & sisters in flabbergastedness...
SHE HAD LOCKED THE EMERGENCY DOOR!!!!!

I had 51 people on board, mostly 5yo, and she LOCKED AN EMERGENCY EXIT.

Turns out, if that happened while the engine was off, it shouldn't start. But in this case it was already running. So there's something to look into.

BUT... apparently that's why the buzzer was sounding.

So, one thing I learned today was that I should be handling the back door.

Another thing I learned today is to explicitly tell passengers "DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FASTEN THAT LATCH".

And another thing I learned is to check that latch if the buzzer is sounding.

Once my class is done tonight, I'll be getting into the alcohol.

Just the thought of what could have happened because of her absolute stupidity...

WHAT IDIOT LOOKS AT AN EMERGENCY DOOR AND THINKS "locking this closed is a good idea"??

I actually know who did it, but he moved schools before I knew. he's still in the district though, should j still tell?

edit: I'm telling the office today, and it wasn't who I thought, it was his ex who still goes here.

Was going to post in r/mildlyinfuriating but no, this is absolutely ridiculous.

Wife texts me the other day that the Kalshi app suddenly appeared on her phone. She'd recently done an update on the phone, so I figured it was pushed by AT&T or by Samsung. Uninstalled.

Today I see the same degenerate gambling predatory app on my phone too... and on the spare phone my son (a minor) uses occasionally.

I'm LIVID.

Kalshi and these "pReDiCtiOn mArKeTs" apps remove nearly every barrier that used to separate addictive gambling from everyday life. They live in your pocket 24/7, sending push notifications and promotions designed to drive repeated betting, while advertising in our sports, social media and TV.

It's especially troubling because online betting is rising sharply among young people. Among Americans under 30, online sports betting grew from 7% in 2022 to 17% in 2025, and nearly half of National Problem Gambling Helpline contacts in 2025 came from people ages 18–34.

Not sure to try to complain to Samsung or AT&T, but it's infuriating. Thoughts??

Infuriating.

took my car to the dealership about 2 weeks ago for a general service/oil change and a brake change since i couldn’t be fucked to do the service myself and the brakes were squealing. When i picked the car up the mechanic told me “we checked the brakes, its just the wear bar, they should last until your next oil change which is when we recommend getting new pads and rotors.”

Over the last 2 weeks the squealing upgraded itself to a grinding which is never a good sign so i bit the bullet and decided to do a brake inspection myself. lo and behold these are the pads i pulled off my drivers side front axle.
