Dear readers,

It’s a common enough practice at the checkout for the clerk to ask if you’d like to donate to a specific charity drive, usually by rounding up your total to the nearest dollar (or ¥, ₱, £, €, ₪, ₭, ฿, or many others!). We understand that some people are running a tight budget and can’t donate, or already donate to other charities so can’t stretch anymore, and most of these people provide a polite “no” and move on.

And then there are these people, who are so vehemently anti-charity that it makes us wonder if they were personally wronged by them! We’ve rounded up 23 stories of checkout customers who don’t like to… uh… roundup, among other negative views to charity.

Unnatural Attitude – Looks like “natural selection” guy’s plan to be unhelpful backfired.

Doesn’t Understand The ‘A Time For Giving’ Part – This boy’s parents must be very proud.

Dear readers,

For this particular editor, September is a busy month. My parents, my partner, two close friends, and I all have birthdays this month, and we celebrate two family anniversaries, too. And tomorrow, September 4, is the birthday of the Queen Bee herself, Beyoncé!

In honor of Mrs. Knowles-Carter and the many, many people celebrating birthdays this month (and all year round!) we’ve put together 18 stories about businesses that cater to birthday parties, and about the people who make those parties particularly problematic. (Spoiler alert: they’re usually the parents!)

The Odds Are Not In Their Favor – “My children, who don’t know they play on a graveyard.”

That Hit You For Six – Something doesn’t add up here.

Making You Wish They Had Never Been Horn – Nooooooooooo!

Dear readers,

Long flights can often be uncomfortable. We get it, cramped seats, recirculated air, crying babies, delayed departures, we’ve all experienced these stresses, yet most of us know how to behave like decent human beings. Not so the offenders on this list! We’ve rounded up 23 stories from our archives about airline passengers who should have their seat moved to the wing!

They Are First-Class Jerks – Some passengers are so entitled that if you give them an inch, they’ll take all your air-miles!

Don’t Knock Exit Doors – Some passengers are so stupid you wonder how they even got on the plane.

To Them, Immigrants Are A One-Way Street – Funny how foreigners in your country are immigrants but when you go to theirs you’re a guest of honor…

Dear readers,

The creepy kid is a familiar trope in horror movies, but we have a feeling those scriptwriters must have had some inspiration from the terrifying toddlers in this list. Some children come out with the uncanniest things, and others can be expected to say things out of context that can leave more than the parents a little concerned, but hey, kids are weird.

We’ve gone through our archive and exorcised 23 stories about little kids with active imaginations, that tend to be a little dark. Be careful!

All Little Girls Dream Of Their Red Wedding – Ooooh, someone’s dad is in trouble…

Bad Grandpa Meets Grand Theft Auto – In about twelve years, stay off the roads!

A Scarred Childhood – Nooooooooooo!

Dear readers,

Sometimes cousins can be a best friend, closer than a sibling, an older role-model to look up to, or a younger family member to look after. And then sometimes, they can be one of the examples found in the 23 stories we have listed here! We’re sure these cousins aren’t terrible people all the time, but they certainly come up with some terrible situations!

Where Politically Correct Dreams (Don’t) Come True – These Disney+ edits are going too far!

On A Different Animal Planet – She would have said Jabiru next!

WMDs: Women Of Massive Delusions – Soooo much re-education is required!
