Hallmark movies are awesome. They’re hilariously, reliably formulaic. They have stilted acting and even more stilted dialogue. They have names like «The Other Christmas Wife» or «Winter Is For Loving, and Christmas.» They’re my favorite thing to watch when I’m in a hotel room. Nothing hits like a terrible movie and a room service BLT. …

Selfish girlfriend and friends stick boyfriend with $550 dinner bill despite having no prior discussion about who would pay: ‘I didn’t let the other guests leave before paying’
Splitting the bill can be an uncomfortable affair. There’s a Portlandia sketch where a group is out for a birthday dinner, and they call in a «Fixer» type that comes in and helps them settle the bill. Who got what entree, who was drinking, how much are we tipping? Bang, boom, there ya go. It’s …

Thoughtless husband gets a fast food burger for his wife and puts it in the fridge, lashes out when wife doesn’t thank him for his ‘grand gesture’: ‘What gesture? You picked up fast food’
Fast food can be endlessly comforting. We know it’s not really nutritionally sound, but we don’t always care. Sometimes it’s about convenience, and that quick, cheap hit of salt, fat, and deliciousness on your tongue. When you’re craving it, nothing else will do. Whatever chemicals they put in a fast food burger can’t be easily …

Dishonest woman consistently asks situationship for $400 or more, expects him to pay up without question: ‘She’s scamming you’
Love, or infatuation, can sometimes shield us from reality. We put on our rose colored glasses and in the words of BoJack Horseman, «All the red flags just look like flags.» You don’t see people for who they truly are, you want to see the best in them. We think that the reason they’re not …

‘Dating apps turn us all into HR managers’: Singles bemoan having to ‘reject so many people’ on dating apps

Boorish mother calls son-in-law’s anniversary gift ‘cheap,’ daughter kicks her out of the party: ‘Was it the alcohol?’
Gift-giving can be a loaded scenario. Give the wrong gift, and you’ve ruined the moment. In an episode of Seinfeld when Jerry gives Elaine $182 for her birthday, cash. The joke is that it’s a pretty thoughtless gift to give a close friend, and shows you really know nothing about them. Other things in that …

Bitter ex-boyfriend buys $200 worth of Nutella to get back at hypercritical ex-girlfriend: ‘I knew it would REALLY bother her’
When you’re going through a breakup, your brain isn’t quite right. Your mind will play tricks on you and exploit your weakness. You will send texts you will regret.

‘This is called a task-based interview’: Industrious woman invites first date over to help her weed her garden, date is hesitant
In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, «First dates are like job interviews with cocktails.» They’re usually stilted, awkward, and usually just a volley back and forth of questions and answers. «What do you do for work? Do you like it? Where did you grow up? Do you have any siblings?» Back and forth until you’re …
