People Think Things Are Romantic Dealbreakers

When you go through a breakup and you tell your friends and family about it, the first question is usually, “what happened?”

But often, there’s no big specific thing that “happened” just a trait that made one or both of you realize you just couldn’t be together. Traits like the ones discussed here:

What opinion or behaviour would stop you being romantically interested in someone even if they ticked every other box? from AskReddit

Let’s see what some of the big turn offs are for the people of Reddit.

1. Mind your manners.

Someone who is a bad guest at someone else’s house.

– Cyllev

2. Things happen.

A girl told me she had been engaged six times. She was 29.

I know things happen. But that’s a lot of things.

– J*ckingOffToTragedy

3.  A matter of expression.

“How come you don’t express yourself?”

*proceeds to express myself*

“You’re being too emotional!”.

F*ck outta here with that sh*t.

– Some_Hot_Garbage

4. A little bit.

If the person you are dating makes you feel small. Not in a physical sense but like you’re less than them.

I’ve learned thats my first sign to book it out of there.

– abbyfromhr

5. Don’t look down.

Being condescending. I hate it. It makes me angry.

Be nice to people. Accept they may not be as knowledgeable as you on a subject. Don’t condescend.

– Crazyboutdogs

6. Prized possessions.

Hoarding – I made this mistake once, I got into a relationship with a hoarder.

I eventually realized that her deeply dysfunctional relationship to objects extended to the people around her.

I was not an actual person, I was just another acquisition that was acquired and subsequently treated shabbily.

I’m not sure if this is common but I won’t take the chance again.

– nibo001

7. So shallow.

Extreme materialism.

– ace985

8. Going deep.

He told me he would much rather make small talk with a stranger then have a deep conversation with good friends.

I don’t know why I didn’t see it before but that described perfectly why we never connected on a deeper level after being together for two years.

We tried but I couldn’t make it work after that realization

– yuffieisathief

9. The company you keep.

If they have toxic friends. For a lot of reasons.

– Insane_Membranes

10. Phoning it in.

The need to constantly be on your phone.

Totally fine with spending a lot of time on it, but if you can’t put it down to watch a movie or have a conversation then it’s a problem.

– Fisherman_Gabe

11. Lies.

Dishonesty.

If you notice the person you’re interested in tells fibs or little white lies early on, it’s only going to be catastrophic once you clear the honeymoon phase

– drknockb00ts

12. You stink.

Bad hygiene

– _Yanu_

13. So full of yourself.

Entitled behavior.

People who act like the world owes them everything when they were raised with more than most people.

People who demand respect but treat others poorly.

– bangcamaroxx

14. Talk talk talk.

Someone who always talks but never really says anything.

Say what you mean, mean what you say

– reddicyoulous

15. Going clear.

Scientology

– CandyRepresentative4

Yeah, I can see pretty much any of those ending an otherwise good thing.

These Women Realized Right Away Their Weddings Were a Mistake

There are a ton of romantic comedies out there. Rom coms, if you like. Or if you feel like being a reductive, vaguely chauvinist dude bro, “chick flicks.” They’re a pretty big cultural force and they have been for decades, and so many of them have one central trope in common: the wedding reveal.

You know the kind of scene that I mean. It’s the day of the wedding, she’s going to marry the handsome jerk who doesn’t really care about her, but instead the actually more handsome but nominally less wealthy true love shows up, or maybe she just runs off, or a couple stands up and proposes in the middle of another marriage, etc.

Setting a major plot point in the midst of a wedding is a great way to make the thing feel big and high stakes. It’s fun! But what about when those kinds of doubts and twists and shifts in perspectives occur in real-life weddings?

The results are…not as spectacular.

10. “I took a chance on love.”

When someone shows you who they are, best not to argue with it.

Source: Whisper

9. “The biggest mistake of my life.”

Love isn’t magic.

Source: Whisper

8. “I’m more miserable.”

Shotgun weddings have always been a bad call.

Source: Whisper

7. “I do”

“Er…I guess maybe I don’t.”

Source: Whisper

6. “His ex’s name”

Woof, that is a big ol’ yikes.

Source: Whisper

5. “Too deep in”

That’s called sunk cost thinking.

Source: Whisper

4. “I was a coward”

Trust yourself.

Source: Whisper

3. “I left the mistake”

That’s a lot quicker than a lot of people manage to do it.

Source: Whisper

2. “A mistake I needed to make”

It’s good to be able to recognize the silver linings where they shine.

Source: Whisper

1. “A do over button”

The stuff of movies eludes us again.

Source: Whisper

It’s scary stuff. All the more reason to really make sure you’re ready before you tie the knot.

Nice Tweets About Best Friends Being Besties

When Harry Nilsson wanted to tell us about his best friend, he did so through song, and he expressed his feelings thusly:

People, let me tell you ’bout my best friend
He’s a warm-hearted person who’ll love me to the end
People let me tell you ’bout my best friend
He’s a one-boy, cuddly toy
My up, my down, my pride and joy

I think we should probably bring back the use of “one-boy cuddle toy” as a general signal of affection, but I don’t know if we’ve all got time to write entire bouncy songs about our friends these days, so instead, we use stuff like these tweets.

Let’s take a look!

10. Coming through

Come on, ya still gotta let them eat cake.

9. Brain meld

We don’t even have to speak, but when we do, it’s magic.

8. Words of encouragement

You are the alpha. You are the omega. The one that is and is to come.

7. I dare you

Oh, things are about to get spicy in here.

6. Petty much right

Oh yeah, it’s all coming together.

5. Take a break

This is a totally healthy and normal approach to relationships, right guys?

4. Hour by hour

Wait, do you mean to tell me that people still have, like, phone calls?

3. Ex-cellent

No, sir. I am here to protect you from yourself. You’re coming with me.

2. We’re on the case

This mystery will be wrapped up quick.

1. Sole mates

We are together in victory and da feet.

 

A good friend tweet is worth a thousand songs.

How would you describe your best friend?

Give it a whirl in the comments.

These Movies Were Explained So Badly, We Couldn’t Help But Laugh

It’s kind of wild how much movie trailers have changed. Back in the 1980s, the details a movie trailer would give you about a plot were so immense that you basically got the entire story told to you before you’d even seen the thing. Better hope there was a lot of spectacle, because otherwise the whole thing is pretty much spoiled, right?

Compare that to the blockbuster trailers of today, which are often little more than brief, out of context snippets, a little stirring music, and are a bunch of blackouts. They really hype up the mystery of the experience now.

I suppose either one is better than the approach taken by this subreddit, which intentionally explains the plot to you, but really badly.

Here are 11 movie plots hilariously misexplained (original taglines included for contrast.)

11. Titanic (1997)

“Nothing On Earth Could Come Between Them.”

10. The Lord of the Rings (2001)

“One Ring To Rule Them All”

9. Deadpool (2016)

“Sit on this”

8. Speed (1994)

“Get ready for rush hour.”

7. The Martian (2015)

“Help is only 140 million miles away”

6. Finding Nemo (2003)

“71% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. That’s a lot of space to find one fish.”

5. The Shining (1980)

“He came as the caretaker, but this hotel had its own guardians – who’d been there a long time”

4. Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

“There’s No Room for Mistakes”

3. Harry Potter (2001)

“Journey beyond your imagination”

2. WALL·E (2008)

“After 700 years of doing what he was built for – he’ll discover what he’s meant for.”

1. Every Adam Sandler Movie

“HURRBIDY DOOOO!”

Man. Can’t wait to get back in those theaters.

What movie would you like to explain badly?

Hilariously Dumb Movie Character Tropes That Will Look Familiar To You

Wanna know what drives me crazy with movie characters?

When there’s some kind of conflict arising from a misunderstanding, and Character A says to Character B “How could you!” B and A have known each other for a while, and B has given A no reason not to trust him before now, but A jumps right to assuming the worst. “I can explain!” shouts B, “Save it!” says A, and leaves in a huff.

B really could have explained. But he won’t get a chance to, because we need to save that resolution for the final act. In the meantime, try to somehow not think of A as an absolute sociopath.

Oh look, here’s Twitter to pick apart some more tropes!

10. Phony phone

I also leave gaps in my conversation that are way too short for me to be getting the information I’m getting.

9. Carry on

I get everything I need with just the look on my face.

8. Shoot up

Yeah that’s not how guns work.

7. Afraid of the dark

“Let me just unload these groceries I’m carrying for some reason in the darkness.”

6. Period piece

What a perfect world.

5. Good police work

We’re all better cops than movie cops.

4. Seek and ye shall find

“Good thing they have it filed under ‘I’ for ‘incriminating evidence.’”

3. Do the twist

The first day you become cool they teach you how to do that neck thing.

2. Fit me in

Lose the attitude.

1. Secret surprise

GOTTA SAVE IT FOR ACT III.

Hows come movies so dumb, yanno?

What other tropes should we dig into?

If You’re Super Weird, You Should Consider These Personal Warning Labels

There’s pretty much a warning label on anything you come across anymore – except for the one place where we probably need to see more warnings, and that’s on our fellow human people.

So it comes to no surprise that the fine folks over at reddit asked the following question…

If people came with a warning tag, what would yours be? from AskReddit

For the good of those around you, consider these warning labels (courtesy of the people of Reddit) to apply to yourself if you fit one of the following descriptions:

Tweets For People Who Are Sick of Work

Let’s revisit the immortal words of Todd Rundgren:

“Take this, every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated the boss is a jerk,
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed,
And I pound on that drum like it was the boss’ head because
I don’t want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day.”

This lighthearted tune about an employer head trauma fantasy rings true with most of us, especially with the people who wrote these tweets.

Though I’d rather nobody bang on drums while I’m trying to relax. You can take that elsewhere, please.

10. Dead serious

Cool, cool cool cool, our society is broken.

9. Me time

How about mind your own business, Carol?

8. Tears in rain

Now THAT’S what I call freedom.

7. Code of conduct

Now I shall go to heaven.

6. Tow the line

It’s the delicate balance that binds us all together.

5. Growing accustomed

I don’t even need to see the rest of ya’ll.

4. See no evil

We’ve been speaking with our voices for millenia, we can just keep doing that.

3. The dream

Let me know if you figure it out.

2. Enthusiasm

I too have an inescapable guilt complex.

1. Many worries

Watch your language.

Nobody wants to work. But we gotta. At least we can all tweet about it!

What’s the best job you’ve ever had? What’s the worst job you’ve ever had? What made them unique?

Memes For People Who Don’t Really Like People

Do you ever feel like you just don’t like people very much?

Do you ever have like, a few thousand of those days in a row?

Do you ever think that maybe it’s not the day’s fault, and that maybe it’s more a matter of you just genuinely not liking people because people suck a whole bunch?

Well, you’re not alone. Unfortunately. Let’s look at some memes about it.

15. Take a break

This is my home. I live here now.

Once you hit a certain age, why hide it?

So say we all.

This is what we came here for, right? To anti-socialize?

Via: Someecards

11. Surrounded!

It’s like every place I look, there’s another.

Via: Someecards

10. Checking in

Yup, still pretty bogus out here.

Via: Someecards

9. Pick-me-up

Are you sure you’re not all just doing drugs?

There have been some major overhauls recently.

These Tweets Are the Best of the Best

Twitter, what would I do without you? Be productive? Do my work? Clean my apartment? Get back in contact with loved ones?

That all sounds lame. I’d much rather scroll endlessly through the strangeness scape that is Twitter. Especially now that they’ve sort of done some housecleaning of their own. Without the absolute worst bottom 5% of users or so, it’s all in all a much more pleasant place to be. It’s easier to find cool and funny tweets, like these ones here.

12. 101 demands

Also you might wanna just go ahead and organize some protests against the fur industry.

11. Dang libs

The bald hypocrisy and apathy is just absolutely stunning.

10. Among gus

It’s darker than you could possibly imagine.

9. How the cookie crumbles

You monster – that’s the most evil thing I can imagine.

8. What gives?

“I am so firing our travel agent.” – birds who still have travel agents, I guess.

7. Mind the gap

You know that’s how we do.

6. Incorporeal hotness

It’s a beauty that surpasses even my understanding.

5. Valentimes

Time to get involved in everybody’s business!

4. Level up!

Wake me when it’s time for the twos.

3. Babe?

This is it, this wins, the meme is over now.

2. Stay with me

You’ll never leave…not while I have anything to say about it.

1. In theory

You laugh but I’ve heard people really say crap like this.

I can’t imagine what I would do without Twitter, and I don’t have to, because it’s here.

Who are your favorite people to follow?
