Pizzeria Charges Customer B*tching Fee: The NY Post says a restaurant customer in Indiana was recently surprised by a $5 “b******* fee” on their $24.78 bill. The complaining charge appeared after a minor mix-up with their drink order.  The customer didn’t complain but their friend did, leading to the unexpected charge. Reddit users found the fee amusing, with one suggesting it may have been a joke by the server.  The customer left without questioning the fee. He did post, “I ordered a Miller Lite and she [the server] gave me a Bud Light. But since she had already opened the Bud Light while walking towards my table she couldn’t just swap it out. She had to eat the Bud Light, giving it to me for free and then got me a Miller on top of it. Honestly, there wasn’t any b*tching involved so I don’t know what that was about. I wasn’t even going to complain, but my friend spoke up, forcing me to point out her mistake.”

A man in northern China recently had to be rushed into surgery after he picked his nose so hard, he hit an ARTERY. Minor nose-bleeds from picking are common. But you’d really have to get up in there to hit an artery. They’re way up inside, so he was really gettin’ after it. He showed up at a hospital after he couldn’t get the bleeding to stop. We’re only hearing about it because his own WIFE shamed him for it online. She posted a video on China’s version of TikTok, and revealed he’s a compulsive nose-picker who’d refused to stop picking. The video is in Chinese, and he’s lying in his hospital bed while she mocks him for not listening to her. Doctors repaired the torn artery, so thankfully he’s okay. On the list of most embarrassing ways to die, that might be #1…. More HERE

Cozy Pajamas Killing Love Lives: Newsweek Magazine says cozy pajamas may be hurting your love life. Relationship coach Channa Bromley says that comfort can kill urgency in a relationship. “They are not just nightwear. They are a signal. When someone trades in seduction for a fleece onesie, they are not prioritizing attraction. They are prioritizing ease. They erase the visual cues that ignite attraction and replace them with something softer. Something safer. If both partners are wrapped in layers of fleece and flannel,” continued the pro, “the real question is whether they are still seeing each other as lovers or if they have stopped seeing each other at all.” She suggests keeping bedtime attire steamy to maintain attraction. Bromley advises couples to get creative with their pajama choices to reignite intimacy.

Sleeping Next To Your Partner Good For Your Health: A recent study by Northwell Staten Island University reveals that couples who sleep together experience longer and better sleep. Researchers found that sharing a bed enhances physical and emotional security through increased REM sleep and synchronized heartbeats. Couples who sleep close trigger an oxytocin release. This promotes relaxation and decreased stress levels.

The Chicago Sun-Times says a love letter penned by Michael Jordan during his senior year at Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina, is being auctioned off. The letter, with a starting price of $10,000, expresses his affection for his then-girlfriend. Also available are a game-worn jersey and a rare collectible card.
