Stuff I saw on the internet last week: "Always take time to cry before making important decisions"
Happy Monday, all! Time once again to round up some cool and weird and interesting things I saw on the internet last week. Stop resting your chin in your hand, sit up straight, un-hunch your shoulders, and let’s get to it!

On last week’s episode of I Hate It But I Love It, Jocelyn and I celebrated our 200th episode (!!!) by talking about Contact, a movie we really loved even as we thought Matthew McConaughey’s character suuuuuucked. And in this Wednesday’s episode, we’ll be talking about Cocktail, a truly wild film neither of us had ever seen before! You should subscribe, if you wanna be cool.

Ummmmm…:
My wife on the other hand works at a bank and she recently got promoted as a manager. She came home one day and decided to rub it in my face. She started bragging about it. At first when she was bragging, I didn’t really react. I didn’t act all excited and cheery. I just said: k good for you. After that, she looked at me like I was crazy and said, aren’t you happy ? I don’t get any congratulations or anything? I responded by saying: it’s your win, not mine. She responded by saying: it’s not only my win, it’s our win, wake up ! That line really pissed me off and I told her: it’s not my win ! It’s yours. I get it ! You had your fucking promotion, good for you ! What do you want me to say ? You want me to act excited like this is something special ?? Why don’t you fuck off ! She argued back saying: what the hell is wrong with you ? After that I just walked away.
Just a normal Sunday morning in Toronto.
Steven has always complained about less attention compared to his two siblings, and accuses me constantly of favoring them and liking them more because I "have more in common with them". I even "took him out of soccer for them multiple times" and "forced him out of it for good over them", which "ruined his chances at a scholarship". I'm tired of Steven constantly acting like a victim, and we had it out and I screamed at him to stop guilting me for things he's too young to understand.
This post is old, but new to me, and it made me laugh:
my wife loses her cool. "HOW MANY COOKIES DID YOU EAT?!" she demands.
"Whoa, easy there, Torquemada," I respond, somewhat horrified at her outburst. "I had a few cookies, but keep it down. I don't want your parents to know how fucked up I am right now."
"REALLY?! THEY ARE SITTING TWO FEET AWAY FROM YOU. THEY KNOW."
I look up and for the first time notice both of my in-laws just staring at me... for what literally felt like an eternity.
A thread of the most bonkers “rich person” behaviour people have witnessed:
A client we had years ago told us that he downgraded his private 747 to a 737 because he didn't like the way the chandeliers rattled on take off.
What a sweet smile:
TUMBLR!
