Interesting how 4 of the 6 audience members have more or less the same expression.

I wonder how foolish they feel now.

Ah! The 90s.

Decoy321,

My favorite part of this picture is the expressions on everyone else’s faces. It’s a nice mixture of “'I’m never getting these hours of my life back” and "hmmm, interesting choice, i wonder how they’ll counter that decision.

Got_Bent,

My last girlfriend took all my band stickers that I had spent decades collecting.

They’re of no monetary value, but they can’t be replaced.

People get petty in breakups.

Wrench,

My best friend broke up with his fiancee a month before the wedding.

She moved out while he was at work. She took all the toilet paper, and left him 2 squares.

"I graduated law school for this," muttered the judge.

Pons_Aelius,

"I'm still charging the full rate for this." Muses the divorce lawyer.

How do I go about turning this picture into an NFT?

sir_pronoun,

This seems fantastically sad. Maybe it wasn’t that big of an emotional deal for them, but it triggers something.

Hackerman_uwu,

Often, to gaze upon the bewildered is to gaze into the void.
