Funny rejections
Rejection is bad enough without witnesses. Funny rejections make it worse by adding timing, confidence, and absolute brutality. These are not gentle letdowns. These are moments where someone swung for the fences and immediately tripped over the bat.
What makes these stories sting is how avoidable most of them were. A crush introducing you as a sibling is not subtle. A parent telling you they would not be friends with you either is not helpful. Speed dating rejecting you fourteen times feels statistically impressive in the worst way possible.
Each story ramps up the discomfort. The gala rejection hurts because of the effort involved. The sleepover eviction feels like villain origin lore.
Then you hit the speed dating massacre and realize efficiency is not always good. By the end, you are clenching your jaw, laughing through pain, and grateful these are screenshots and not your memories.
