Why Men Pee in the Sink

A couple years back, women on the internet were astounded and repulsed to learn that a significant number of men regularly pee in sinks. (Like the sinks where you wash your hands and face, and brush your teeth.) If you know a substantial number of men, there’s...

You Can’t ‘Make Up’ for Lost Sleep

Here’s a polite reminder that you can’t “catch up” on sleep. That is, if you didn’t sleep well several nights this week — because you were out late partying; had some long nights at the office; tried to get a full night’s sleep, but tossed and turned instead; or...

You’re Wiping Your Butt All Wrong and Probably Injuring Yourself

People are so bad at wiping their butts, doctors have coined a condition to mock them for it. It’s called PAS, or “polished anus syndrome,” and it comes from, in part, our abysmal bathroom hygiene. After doing our business, we take dry, rough toilet paper and smear...

The People with the Most Legitimate Reasons Not to Text You Back from Work

I am, by my own admission, a terrible (but improving!) texter. Receiving a text almost always feels like an imposition to me, and nowhere does text feel like a bigger intrusion than when I’m at work. It doesn’t matter if I’m engaged in a legitimate heads-down jam...

Why Do I Have the Same Body Odour as My Dad?

The other day I got a hearty whiff of myself after a workout, only to come to the terrifying realisation that I now have the same body odour as my father. I have vivid memories of walking by my dad’s soiled jogging clothes as a kid, and...

You’ve Been Drinking Your Protein Shakes at All the Wrong Times

The post-workout protein powder shake is a staple of gym bro culture. In fact, almost the moment a man gets into weightlifting, he also starts scouring the internet and Reddit forums for advice on the right protein supplements to take, and in which amounts. He stalks the...

What Do You Do When Your Friend Wants a Reference—but You Know They Suck?

Your former colleague Ralph asks you to recommend him for a job he is interviewing for at a new company. You like this person. In fact, you’d go so far as to consider him a friend. You often attended happy hour together when you were coworkers, and...

PSA: Yes, You Need to Wash That Disgusting Water Glass

I just discovered I might have been drinking faeces the past few years, and my world has never felt like more of a lie. For pretty much my entire adulthood, I’ve operated under the belief that you almost never need to clean a water glass. Currently, I...

The Closer You Sit to Your Boss, the Higher Your Chances for Success

When I was a dumb 22-year-old working my first job out of college, I got assigned to sit within 10 feet of the startup’s founder/CEO. It was miserable. Aside from absolutely hating the work I was doing, I had to sit under the watchful eye of the guy who...

The tech startup era has gifted us with an abundance of ridiculous job titles, including Chief Happiness Officer, Hacker in Residence and Galactic Viceroy of Research Excellence.
