Remember the old adage “nice guys finish last”?
It ends up that it’s not always true. Especially when you replace the word “nice” with “popular”. Because weren’t the most popular kids in school the nicest ones? (Don’t answer that… just go with the concept here).

How unique is your name?
Sure, you may have replaced a “y” with an “i” (let alone decided that dotting the i with a smiley face would be “your thing”). Your parents may have given you a unique spelling of a typical name, in order to differentiate you as being “special” when you finally go off to school… much to the chagrin of those confused teachers, or the future ability for your child to every find a personalized license plate at SOUTH OF THE BORDER souvenir shop.

“I smell old people,” says many kids upon their first visit to see Grandma and Grandpa.
It’s an unforgetable scent – that of medicinal cremes, ointments, mothballs.
And it’s a sensation that many people tend to find memorable, and not in a good way.

Be honest – have you ever tasted your own pee, either on purpose or by accident?
Don’t be shy – we know that there’s at least one of you out there who’ve done it. Astronauts have – their on-board drinking water is partially made from recycled urine.

Bosses: are you looking for what type of corporate holiday gifts you should be handing out to your employees at the end of the year?
It can be tough to choose – many organizations have extremely strict limits on how much of monetary value an individual can receive as a gift. Web Watch knows of one company that gave each employee a $50 gift card last year… along with the appropriate paperwork so the proper taxable amount was reported to the IRS.
Yup, it was the classic “here’s a gift, and don’t forget to pay taxes on it” scam that’s all the rage these days.

People say that running a bar or restaurant is one of the hardest careers that one can have. In essence, you’re responsible for your customers’ happiness – which is completely different from being sure you provide good customer service.
People expect their food (or drink) to make them happy and content. A good meal can bring a level of satisfaction that can only be met by very few other things in this world. Web Watch will let you choose what those are for you.
Watching Top Chef, Iron Chef, or even the Next Food Network Star pale in comparison to MASTERCHEF, the program that takes “home cooks” and shows that complicated dishes can be made by anyone.

Would you have sex with a stranger?
It’s a common thought, honestly. Many of you think it over almost every single minute of the day, as you’re driving in rush-hour traffic and take a casual glance at the person driving next to you. Walking down the street and getting a glance from someone at the coffee shop. Passing someone going the other direction on the escalator.
It may be a fleeting moment, but you think it – just for a second. “What if…”. And then, like that, the moment has passed and you’ve moved on with your task at hand.

Bosses have it tough, much tougher than the employees they manage.
They have to lead, teach, motivate, advise, and occasional discipline their staff – their family – and do so in such a way as to still maintain that boss-employee relationship instead of delving into that questionable world of boss-but-friend awkwardness that can occasionally rear its ugly head.
