I wish you were a lady, because by your logic, that rant would have been two to three paragraphs shorter.

I used to be your husband. When I was growing up holidays were kind of like, “Oh no, not again.”

My Valentine’s was also ruined. My boyfriend was raging drunk when I got home from work and wanted to go confront the neighbors because allegedly they had been banging on the ceiling. I figured he had actually heard me banging on the door because I had forgotten my key and had to wake him up. I told him I would handle…

That was Gus Kenworthy, not Adam Rippon.

This is how my travel conversations go: Friend- “How was your trip? Did you go see[important cultural thing]?” Me: “Yeah, yeah, it was fine, let me tell you about this thing I ate”

Despite their shared heritage Icelandic (by virtue of evolving so far away from the other Scandinavian countries for many hundreds of years), unlike the other languages you mention aren’t mutually intelligible. Hello and thanks were about all I could understand, anyway.

My story is just, ugh. My one sister who is married sent a group text to all of my other sisters (in our 40s) and her 19 year old son “Happy Singles Awareness Day.” It is true 99.99% of the time I am perfectly happy being single, but the last few weeks I’ve been a little salty. I waited a couple of hours and…

Drop him.

Umm. Maybe just keep repeating this in your head over and over and over? Don’t reach out to him, don’t be that person.

If anyone wants a thread to debrief from a miserable Valentine’s Day, this is it.

Um, no they didn’t invent it. Ireland did. Uisce = Whiskey. It stems from another drink, but Ireland has the first and oldest distillery and we named it, so don’t even bother with that tripe about Scotland.

Middleton is far superior to Macallan, I like Old Van Winkle though. Never tried the Pappy and honestly couldn’t be bothered.

But it wasn’t invented in Scotland, so they’re just wrong.
Uisce Beatha, water of life = whiskey. We invented and named it so they can shut it with their crappy misspellings.

I think the “beer” comment wins the “infuriating the know-things” contest.

I thank my lucky stars I bought so many bottles 7-10 years ago. But I am having the opposite problem with this insane price inflation - What the hell do I do with a $10,000 bottle of scotch (that I paid $200 for). Probably wish I drank it already.

Whisk(e)y = fermented prior to being distilled

I am like 99.9% sure that was a joke on Clover’s part, but because people don’t understand jokes I am starring you for being informative. Education is good! Even (maybe especially) when others decide that knowledge is “snobby”.

Inciting comments that angrily miss the point should be scored as part of the competition, IMO. *popcorn gif*
