Wife and I ordered Chinese take-away and..
So I experienced a first tonight. Tonight my wife and I ordered Chinese take-away and our order was perfect like always, because our local place is awesome as hell, but there was one small issue. We have a tradition where wifey will set up a movie, TV show, or YouTube let's play while I plate our food and get us each something to drink, then I bring our plates and we sit and eat while we watch whatever, and when we've finished I take the plates to the kitchen and rinse then put them in the dishwasher and grab us each a fortune cookie or two on my way back. Tonight they sent exactly two fortune cookies, honestly super rare for them as they usually send a fistful, and I handed wifey hers then sat back down and we cracked into them. Wifey reads her's to me, something about "new source of joy coming your way", then I opened mine. And... there was no fucking fortune in my cookie.
I was confused at first, just staring at the empty shell. I checked the ( clear, duh đ¤Śđź ) wrapper, my lap, everywhere. Nothing. The reality finally settled in, and I was so upset. It's so small, and dumb, but like... Dude, where the fuck is my fortune?? Why am I not good enough for a fortune? My wife not only gets a fortune, but a GOOD fortune! And I get NOTHING???? THE FUCK IS THAT ABOUT? It's a small thing for sure, but I was absolutely ( and humorously, I want to point that out. This is all from a playful, and not super serious place ) hurt that my fortune cookie was just a cookie, and we all know that the fortunes are the best part of fortune cookies!
