During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

Why is it that the crazies on the train are always quiet until the doors close and we are trapped with them.

That is also terrible. I cringe when I see Lorin. That just looks like some over the counter medicine.

At a former place of work, I went to go collect someone to meet with my boss regarding a job opening and when we got to the elevator, he touched my back to let me go in first. My boss said he was a definite no after that.

I’m really tired of seeing the two of them on my social media. It’s nauseating at this point.

It's pissing me off enough to go back to social media!

Maybe it's me, but if I worked at the @mta.info, I would wait until the week was over to be sure it wasn't a bad week before announcing the train fare is rising because this week has been absolute shit for every single train line. There is still tomorrow.

The @mta.info needs to get their shit together. It’s ridiculous that I have to wait 34 minutes for an N train or 24 minutes for a D train. Those times are longer than the actual trip would take me.

This is nauseating

aitah for denying oral after surgery?

throwaway because my boyfriend uses reddit

so i (24f) just got my wisdom teeth out about a week ago. it was very painful and really complicated for many reasons. because of this i have been taking vicodin and other medications to help with the pain.

my bf (32m) was very helpful the first few days. he doted on me and really picked up my slack around the house. i told him how much i appreciated him, and he asked if i could go down on him to "show just how much i appreciated it". i told him my mouth was really hurting and i wasn't interested, but maybe when my stitches were healed. he got a little upset and has been ignoring me since. i tried to bring it up and apologized, but he said it was fine. however he has been acting very distant and making passive aggressive comments.

i do feel bad, because usually i am very accommodating when he's in the mood, and i can understand it's frustrating. but honestly im already feeling really out of it with the amount of pain killers im taking, and i also don't want to make the healing process slower.

aitah for not wanting to rush back to out normal sex life after getting my wisdom teeth removed?

NTA. No is a full sentence. Him being upset that you turned him down after having teeth pulled is wild. You still have open wounds in your mouth. His lack of empathy is concerning.

This x1000. Imagine when it's a more involved surgery.

Like this is red flag GTFO level concerning.

Trying to get this house ready to sell has been the most stressful thing ever. I cannot wait to get it on the market and just worry about it being sold and finding a condo.

I will never understand parents who chat on the phone while their children are howling. Like it’s literally a distress cry so get off your fucking phone and pay attention to your child.

Who at the @mta.info thought 25 minutes between D trains is acceptable? Why is it going to take me almost an hour to go 7 train stops? So glad I’m going to be late for work!

Why do people yell into their cell phones on the subway? It’s annoying enough hearing your conversation without having to hear you yell it.

Feeling like I am never going to finish packing up this house so I can sell it. So tired of this.

For any teenager not able to access books in their aream from bannings, remember that the Brooklyn Public Library has your back no matter where you live. You can get a card and read any digital book available.

Bought some packing boxes from Amazon and only one set arrived. When I called to tell them it was missing, the guy thought I said Tampax and now I am sitting here laughing my ass off.
