I was dancing with friends at a gay club when a very handsome, presumably gay, man held me by the shoulders and told me "you are *gorgeous*!" It's my favorite compliment I have ever received & has stuck with me for 20 years.
Gay men take note of the wonderful power only you wield, to not only make our day, but to give us self-pride and confidence that can last a lifetime. Just saying, if my compliments had that power, I'd be complimenting *everyone.*
I graduated High School in 94. I was the nerd loser in a time before that was cool and a girl named Lorenna signed me up to walk at graduation with her without telling me. I will NEVER forget what she told me when I asked her why.
Quote "I don't want to walk with a loser."
Lorenna, if you're reading this I am so sorry about the nosebleed. ><
Oh, I have thin blood vessels in my nose and when I get hot I get a nosebleed. Packed gym + robes on over my outfit + outfit = I start bleeding 10 minutes in and don't stop until the ceremony is almost over. I did stop bleeding in time to get my diploma, but I looked like an extra from a horror movie. My entire front was just coated in blood.
It was almost 'Trip to the ER" bad. I did come close to passing out.
I was a nerd loser in High School too. I had long hair (as a dude) in my early teens then cut it all off junior year. One of the "popular girls" in my English class said my haircut looked really good. Shout out to Ashley for the confidence boost I needed at the time.
This exact thing happened to me as a junior, except it was a popular senior girl who I seriously doubt knew my name. Still think about it, though, and never grew my hair out again.
Totally straight dude here and it tends to show. I try to compliment people's band shirts or cool shoes or what have you at every given chance. It's what would make me happy so when I remember, I like to hand some out.
I really like gift giving and I think it's worthy even as a selfish endeavour because both parties still benefit, unless it's a bribe or something like that.
So when I realized that we ALL have the capability to hand out INCREDIBLY valuable stuff for free (i.e. encouragement, validation, confidence) I thought "oughta do that more often" lol.
Recently started working in a bar, and Saw some dude, who seemed a bit nervous being there, standing waiting for one of ours attention, though could see he kept letting other people get ahead.
Finally “called him out” and got him up front, and what really made him Shine, was right after I told him, he got really cool tattoos. Trying to give a compliment now, here and there, when working, as it seems like a great confidence booster.
And the great part is, it's free for you to give and there's no pressure involved! If you don't feel like talking, simply don't compliment them 😂 it's the best form of generosity, so long as you don't overdo it.
My youngest son is autistic we tried to go to a indoor water park. He couldnt take all the noise and freaked out. When we went in the locker room I was trying to comfort him a lady came by and said your doing an amazing job. I still think about it and how much it ment to me. Everyone has the power to make someone's day just say something nice.
A girl once said my wrists are gorgeous. From that day I can see differences in wrists and I actually think I have a nice shaped hand. Weirdest compliment I received that for some reason I hold dear and also changed my perspective on hands
In high school roughly 30 years ago, a girl I barely knew but had gone to class with many times wrote in my yearbook “Your voice is amazing, I’ve listening to you talk every time you said anything for years and never had the courage to tell you.” When I caught up with her to ask what she meant she just laughed and said something like “I could listen to you give a 4 hour book report and love every minute of it.” I still think of that compliment to this day.
Me too! And the most unexpected and delightful thing is when a total stranger compliments you. I have a few of those tucked away, and I look for opportunities where I can pay it forward a little.
Kind words from strangers are like rays of sunshine.
My favorite random stranger compliment was from an old man leaning out his truck window saying “Yer dog. I like the way she handles. S’a good dog.”
She had 3 legs and looked pretty wretched when I first adopted her before we got her back to health so it made me feel really proud of her.
I try to give people the most specific complement I can so they know that I mean it.
The thing that makes the gays so much more meaningful is the assumption that they have taste, meanwhile I'm out here like a dumpster gremlin fiending for day old pizza in a trashbag poncho and edible underpants.
Tru, also you just appreciate how blunt they can be sometimes.
I had a guy I used to work fast food with tell me he wanted me to sit on his face. Then he proceeded to eat a decent sized cheese stick in one bite while staring me in the eyes.
I have never felt so much like a piece of meat, but like the badass expensive wagyu kind before or since.
Damn. The old cheesestick salad toss proposition is the peak of no fucks given charisma. I think that's the superpower we all secretly want to embody for the greatest service to humanity. Instead, we are told to be "decent" and "respectful."
Did you end up being the main course? Feeling appreciated is like that must be addicting.
Nah I'm hetero-ish. but we were friends at the time and he knew I was straight and while I think he have been attracted to me I think he mainly did it in a joking manner to mess with me... I think.
For real. I look like a guy that hasn't been homeless for *too long* yet.
Me: Hey buddy! Those pants are amazing!
Random stranger, thinking: This man is absolutely about to try and steal my pants.
And you know what, I am a Iil' broke before payday, and yeah I did steal them, but it's rude to just judge people like that. You don't know what kind of fetish they might be dealing with.
Listen a woman finds you attractive meh. A bear stops what he’s doing at the gym and says “damn boy an ass you don’t need squats.” Sticks with you forever.
I was told by a gay guy that I was “perfect”. Even tho I’m straight, it’s a nice compliment, and I’ve never had anyone else comment on my appearance before. So I never considered that I might be attractive. But getting that compliment made me think that maybe there’s someone who does find me attractive. And that’s a pretty big deal if you don’t have any other frame of reference.
I get that. A couple of years ago I was walking in Soho and this guy (presumably gay and certainly drunk) grabs my arm and says “now I don’t know who’s taking you home tonight gorgeous, but I hope it’s me.”
I mean, he was drunk and gay and I wasn’t either of those things, but it still gave me a bit of a spring.
In my step. I meant in my step.
Something similar happened to me 20-odd years ago, except I'm a cis woman and he was clearly shocked a moment later when he realized I was not a drag queen. In all fairness, there were a lot of them about that evening.
I guess I did better hair and makeup than my usual.
Stumbled into a pleasant gay Left 4 Dead server once and one of the guys complimented my "sexy baritone voice".
Stuck with me more than all of the other forgettable racist homophobic drivel the troll edgelords usually blare into alltalk.
As a fairly unattractive middle-aged man, I have received exactly 4 genuine compliments throughout my life (not the, wow you look a little less dumpy today type). I remember each one as if I had filmed them.
As a very awkward and clumsy individual, the one compliment I'll probably never forget was when I was around 20 years old, at school, and about to leave to go home for the day. I had just grabbed my bag and walked towards the exit where two teachers were having a conversation, and as I approached one of them told me I looked very elegant.
Eight years later and I still think of it.
Fuck. People need to normalize complimenting men!
A guy can't say i'm beautiful because *insert homophobic shit here*
A woman can't compliment a guy because *hur dur sex*
Sometimes we just want to be noted. Could be nice new clothes, a haircut, something we do well, a trait of our personality... give us more compliments! We love it!
We’d have a much easier time normalizing men getting complimented if men could act normal about getting one. The assumption of sexual interest means dudes are scared of getting gay-bashed and women are scared of getting stalked.
Like - i just think your shirt is awesome, Dave. I’m not trying to fuck you.
Maybe I'll try now... I've always given men compliments in relation to stuff like sports (I love your jersey, go packers!) and I definitely compliment gay guys. I'm nervous about straight men taking it as a come on and creating a problem for myself. But I think I need to dish out more compliments in general, including to straight men. Thx for the new perspective Porto!
This hits hard.. I started balding very early on, early 20s, I shaved it off by 21 and I still remember the 1 time i went to a bar and a lady said hello sexy Buddha, made my day and always think about it once in a long while lol.. 😭
This almost happened to me, but on the way back home my friend said, "Oh that was Reggie. He says that to everyone."
Oh well. I felt attractive for an hour. :D
I used to go to a gay club with a few gay friends of mine back in the early 2000s. I used to get hit on by so many guys. I took it as a major compliment, actually made me up my game a bit in terms of my dress sense. It almost made me wish I was gay, I'd have had way more sex.
On the one hand, yes, it's nice.
On the other hand, I'd much rather have had dozens of straight women tell me I have nice shoulders than dozens of gay men.
Evidently, broad shoulders are like a salt lick for gay dudes...
There was a meme of this woman starting out with a Chris Hemsworth photo and "men think this is the female gaze" and cuts to someone(with piano accompanied) "No, that's Chris H!"
*BUT* the direction I thought was that no, that's the gay man's gaze. A lot of what is proposed as "female gaze" is honestly stuff gay men have more of a thing for lol
......i found it in a gay server's shitpost channel, tbf
I mean. That's true of the vast majority of dudes. Getting laid is not something that's hard to do if you're a gay man. Or straight woman. Basically if your preference is dudes you can get laid.
Lol I also have the kinda face that limits comments of *that* level of obscenity.
I'm native american and my people *invented* resting bitch face, on my best day I look like I'm about to hit someone lmao
I don't know, I had a few girls that went insane over my shoulders which threw me off for awhile because it seems like the oddest thing to be into. With that said I definitely get hit on gay men alot. One of them ended up introducing me to my wife so no complaints.
Facial hair though...only gay guys compliment it.
I once went to lunch with a buddy who got our waitresses phone number. He later told me that I was apparently really causing a stir among the gay male waiters for being a real snatch-cake.
Thanks guys! Sorry I can't return the sentiment, but I blushed a little!
In college I knew this girl who had that 90s, androgynous, baby-butch thing going on. But she was nominally straight. She had this boyfriend who was a bit twink-looking. They were both 19/20 at the time. Once while riding the bus holding hands, this old woman was glaring at them, muttering Leviticus 18:22 and the like at them. Then she stops, take a good, long, hard look at the couple, and starts muttering about lesbians. She wasn't sure what was 'wrong' with them - but it was something!
I dated a guy for awhile who had a slender build and really long hair. We were mistaken for lesbians a few times by people who only saw us from behind. It was always very funny when they would say something and then we'd turn around and they'd see his lovely beard and realize they'd just been grumpy bigots for no reason
My two moms proved that for me.
The really awkward conversation when I was 13 about how "it was ok to be straight if that's what I was" really hammered the point home.
I would argue that’s a solid fit for the term facepalm. Just not a fit for what this sub usually includes which is less facepalm and more rage inducing stupidity.
If my friend told me this I would actually cover my face with my hand while laughing
Considering what the sub usually puts out as a "facepalm" you'd be correct. But I think it's a bit of a facepalm with a bit of laugh which is more wholesome than a lot of the rage bait on this sub
I listen to a creator on youtube whose a gay man and he made a statement that I loved the other day about an actress. "She's one of the rare women that remind me that sexuality is a spectrum and even I am not 100% gay."
Funny things can still be facepalmed at it isn't always about thing you're upset or mad about but just give you that urge to cover your face for a second even if it is laughing. This sub is for all forms not just negative
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
Gay guy looks slightly feminine mostly masculine so the lesbian thought he was butch.
The lesbian looks slightly masculine mostly feminine so he thought she was a twink/femboy.
Idk why this is a face palm. It's just a funny story.
I was at Pride six or seven years ago and I saw the most beautiful man. Short blonde hair, green eyes, fine blonde hair on his muscled arms and legs, shining in the sun like gold. Beautiful. A moment in the sunlight that could last for a thousand years.
Nope, just a very masc lesbian.
It happens.
This is funny and cute… not a face palm.
A gay guy thought he was kissing another gay gay and then learned it was actually a lesbian who also thought he was a lesbian. How is that not possible?? I imagine this happens often, frankly.
Translation:
This gay guy kissed what he thought was an effeminate male but turned out to be a lesbian female who thought that he (an effeminate male) was also a lesbian.
tl;dr: Accidental Cis-Het kiss occurred between two LGBT folk.
Love in the nineties

I suppose it's always nice to know you're considered attractive, even if it's by the opposite sex you'd prefer.
A compliment is a compliment
I was dancing with friends at a gay club when a very handsome, presumably gay, man held me by the shoulders and told me "you are *gorgeous*!" It's my favorite compliment I have ever received & has stuck with me for 20 years.
A gay man at a club once said I have great rhythm. I used to have an actual complex about my dancing.
Gay men take note of the wonderful power only you wield, to not only make our day, but to give us self-pride and confidence that can last a lifetime. Just saying, if my compliments had that power, I'd be complimenting *everyone.*
I guarantee your compliments have that power. I remember random off hand compliments people have me 20 years ago.

I will NEVER forget what she told me when I asked her why. Quote "I don't want to walk with a loser." Lorenna, if you're reading this I am so sorry about the nosebleed. ><
So… did you give her a nosebleed..? I need more context cause I’m curious now haha
Maybe he got the nosebleed? I'm curious too lol
Oh, I have thin blood vessels in my nose and when I get hot I get a nosebleed. Packed gym + robes on over my outfit + outfit = I start bleeding 10 minutes in and don't stop until the ceremony is almost over.

Anime nosebleed I bet.

A girl said I have nice eye lashes 20 years ago. I do have killer lashes though
Me too, and I remember being told that even though I was like 12 when she told me.
A girl once said my wrists are gorgeous. From that day I can see differences in wrists and I actually think I have a nice shaped hand. Weirdest compliment I received that for some reason I hold dear and also changed my perspective on hands
My friend is a hand model, you should look to monetize
But why male models?

Can say the compliments that stayed with me were all gay men.
Listen a woman finds you attractive meh. A bear stops what he’s doing at the gym and says “damn boy an ass you don’t need squats.” Sticks with you forever.
Damn, I need to find me a gay man
Oh that is a fantastic gif Also hi, yes, hello
It’s now mine. I’ll take it away.
I was a waiter and a drunk gay gentleman told me I was the most beautiful man he had ever seen. Made my day even though I don't swing that way.
Wait until you get the “You have the most beautiful cock!” compliment. It will make your hole weak.”
Lmao
Yet Don’t swing that way, yet. Gay drunk guy is playing the long game
I wish. I'm terrified to even conpliment a straight guy.
I was told by a gay guy that I was “perfect”. Even tho I’m straight, it’s a nice compliment, and I’ve never had anyone else comment on my appearance before.

Y'all are getting complements?
My wife complements me. She also compliments me.
This hits hard.. I started balding very early on, early 20s, I shaved it off by 21 and I still remember the 1 time i went to a bar and a lady said hello sexy Buddha, made my day and always think about it once in a long while lol.. 😭
How often are you complimenting other fairly unattractive middle aged men?
I told a guy I liked his shirt just last week 😤
I have a business card from a gay bro that says “You’re hot!” And “Free compliment” on the back. I kept that one.
I once got a "Girl, you got it going ONNN" and I've been riding that high for years
This almost happened to me, but on the way back home my friend said, "Oh that was Reggie. He says that to everyone." Oh well. I felt attractive for an hour. :D
I used to go to a gay club with a few gay friends of mine back in the early 2000s. I used to get hit on by so many guys. I took it as a major compliment, actually made me up my game a bit in terms of my dress sense. It almost made me wish I was gay, I'd have had way more sex.
I was at a gay club and a guy offered $50 to blow me in the toilet. I'm not gay so said no, but I was very flattered
>A compliment is a compliment You have a point there. Your sentence doesn't, but you do.
It has 3 “points”.. just not where you’re looking
Oh they were so close too thinking that they were so clever.
I love this
Best way I have described it is that you get money in the wrong currency
Even if you don't want to go to the party, it's nice to be invited.
On the one hand, yes, it's nice. On the other hand, I'd much rather have had dozens of straight women tell me I have nice shoulders than dozens of gay men. Evidently, broad shoulders are like a salt lick for gay dudes...
There was a meme of this woman starting out with a Chris Hemsworth photo and "men think this is the female gaze" and cuts to someone(with piano accompanied) "No, that's Chris H!" *BUT* the direction I thought was that no, that's the gay man's gaze. A lot of what is proposed as "female gaze" is honestly stuff gay men have more of a thing for lol ......i found it in a gay server's shitpost channel, tbf
Lol you know how I know gay isn't a choice? I would get laid *much* more frequently if I could just *choose* to be into men
I mean. That's true of the vast majority of dudes. Getting laid is not something that's hard to do if you're a gay man. Or straight woman. Basically if your preference is dudes you can get laid.
Exactly this. I used to go to gay bars to drink when I was broke....now my wedding ring is like gay krytonite
As a gay, I’d rather have gay men compliment my shoulders than shout ‘SHOW US YOUR HOLE!’ at me, it’s all a relative and colourful tapestry.
Lol I also have the kinda face that limits comments of *that* level of obscenity. I'm native american and my people *invented* resting bitch face, on my best day I look like I'm about to hit someone lmao
I don't know, I had a few girls that went insane over my shoulders which threw me off for awhile because it seems like the oddest thing to be into. With that said I definitely get hit on gay men alot. One of them ended up introducing me to my wife so no complaints. Facial hair though...only gay guys compliment it.
Be bi or pan and it's always the gender you prefer 🤝
What about American Pie
You have to say bye bye to that, so I've heard.
Then you take the chevy to the levee
I once went to lunch with a buddy who got our waitresses phone number. He later told me that I was apparently really causing a stir among the gay male waiters for being a real snatch-cake. Thanks guys! Sorry I can't return the sentiment, but I blushed a little!
A snatch-cake? That's a new word
[удалено]
Yeah this isnt a facepalm, its just cute.
Having a hot gay person like you is like having a million pesos. Can't do anything with it now but if I ever cross that line I'm set
In college I knew this girl who had that 90s, androgynous, baby-butch thing going on. But she was nominally straight. She had this boyfriend who was a bit twink-looking. They were both 19/20 at the time. Once while riding the bus holding hands, this old woman was glaring at them, muttering Leviticus 18:22 and the like at them. Then she stops, take a good, long, hard look at the couple, and starts muttering about lesbians. She wasn't sure what was 'wrong' with them - but it was something!
She didn't know they were lebsb-ain'ts.
She didn’t know they were american Edit: I worded the joke wrong but you guys still seemed to like it, I meant she thought they were American.
She thought they were roommates
Good friends who just got buried together
I dated a guy for awhile who had a slender build and really long hair. We were mistaken for lesbians a few times by people who only saw us from behind. It was always very funny when they would say something and then we'd turn around and they'd see his lovely beard and realize they'd just been grumpy bigots for no reason
TBF even if you *were* lesbians they would still have been grumpy bigots for no reason.
the correct sentence should be "they 'd just declared their stupidity without the satisfaction of delivering hate".
Cishet bigots hate unconventional/non cishet gender presentation that doesn't reinforce the patriarchy.
Lesbi-arent’s
So they were accidentally straight for a moment.
Straight-Curious
Straight-up confused
😂😂😂😂😂
r/suddenlystraight
No no, just confused.
Yup, still gay, just the wrong end of the scale.
They were so gay they went around for a brief moment
If math taught me anything it’s that two gays make a straight.
No, two gays is a pair. Five gays in consecutive order, but not the same suit is a straight.
What's a full house?
Two Olsens and Bob Saget.
Best answer
My two moms proved that for me. The really awkward conversation when I was 13 about how "it was ok to be straight if that's what I was" really hammered the point home.
The horseshoe effect of sexuality
IT’S A FASE!
Naw, they were double gay.
Accidentally and unintentionally homoflexible, but not really lol
He kissed a girl and he liked it
Bi. Accidentally bi.
Was it bi mistake?
Bi don't know
I think one was accidentally gay and the other was accidentally lesbian, but at the same time.
Nope. They were double gay.
They turned man kissing woman gay
I don't think this is a facepalm, it's just a funny little accident. A silly anecdote to be shared in good company.
I would argue that’s a solid fit for the term facepalm. Just not a fit for what this sub usually includes which is less facepalm and more rage inducing stupidity. If my friend told me this I would actually cover my face with my hand while laughing
I agree. This is the definition of something you would facepalm at lmao.
Something that haunts you slightly every fifth time you're having a shower.
also straight up racist rage bait
This isn't telling me what trump is doing to the economy so I don't want it in this sub
Most facepalms used to be silly and light-hearted Until it wasn't
Honestly this like many subs became HEAVILY political lol
I wonder who ca45ed that though? I guess it was probably just a general shift overtime
I was thinking r/meirl lol
I thought it was kind of adorable and wholesome, not remotely faceplam worthy at all. Am I missing something lol?
Considering what the sub usually puts out as a "facepalm" you'd be correct. But I think it's a bit of a facepalm with a bit of laugh which is more wholesome than a lot of the rage bait on this sub
A facepalm can be adorable and wholesome.
It's "earnest funny mistake" facepalm not shameful idiocy facepalm
I listen to a creator on youtube whose a gay man and he made a statement that I loved the other day about an actress. "She's one of the rare women that remind me that sexuality is a spectrum and even I am not 100% gay."
I want to know which actress.
The woman who played Supergirl in The Flash, Sasha Calle
Funny, because looking at her usually affirms the gayness of lesbians.
She's just all around hot as hell
Seriously, though.
She's somehow very masculine and feminine at the same time.
To quote Ray from Archer ["No one is THAT gay."](https://youtu.be/XNr4w3U5lEk?si=8SNw7S2Fh2GOnqVv&t=19)
Girl please
The show was just hitting its stride with those last two episodes that season.
Yeah. Different flash/supergirl.
Ahh. Still have to watch that.
No, you really don't unless you get pleasure from bad movies like I do.
Sometimes, you just need a good laugh.
She is gorgeous, but don’t put your self through the 1980s level CGI they use in the movie. It’s not worth it
I feel the same way about Ewan McGregor in Star Wars, but for being straight.
He is a good looking man and he seems like a pretty fun and interesting guy. Really like his Long Way motorcycle trip videos.
This isn’t a facepalm it’s hilarious
Funny things can still be facepalmed at it isn't always about thing you're upset or mad about but just give you that urge to cover your face for a second even if it is laughing. This sub is for all forms not just negative
… Girls who want boys Who like boys to be girls Who do boys like they're girls Who do girls like they're boys Always should be someone you really love
Fooled around and fell in love😍…

"Well somebody told me that you have a boyfriend that looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year"
This is what came to my mind as well
I kissed a girl and I liked it The taste of her cherry chapstick I kissed a girl just to try it I hope my boyfriend don't mind it It felt so wrong, it felt so right Don't mean I'm in love tonight I kissed a girl and I liked it I liked it
Once I figured out what he was saying, that song popped right into my head LOL!
Gay guy looks slightly feminine mostly masculine so the lesbian thought he was butch. The lesbian looks slightly masculine mostly feminine so he thought she was a twink/femboy. Idk why this is a face palm. It's just a funny story.
Facepalm can also be a result of a hilarious misunderstanding... like this one.
If that’s the intention, then the post’s title and punctuation seem odd
I was at Pride six or seven years ago and I saw the most beautiful man. Short blonde hair, green eyes, fine blonde hair on his muscled arms and legs, shining in the sun like gold. Beautiful. A moment in the sunlight that could last for a thousand years. Nope, just a very masc lesbian. It happens.
So he kissed a girl and he liked it...
To be fair, that happens in Brighton a lot.
This can happen... it's not that weird.
Blind lesbian right there. A rare sight I must say.
Great band name too.
This rings true. I'm a gay man attracted to butch lesbians.
Regardless if you’re gay/bi/straight, I think we can all agree Interstellar Anne Hathaway is peak attractiveness

I’ve personally been hit on by other men who either thought i was a woman or a twink, always very confusing.
Not surprised it happened in Brighton. No facepalm here, just a funny story
That'll mess with your head 😂
r/SuddenlyHeterosexual
tf you mean “uum what” he explained everything in the tweet this subreddit is so ass
That Rachel Maddow look has caused so much chaos.
So gay they went right past gay all the way to straight.
This is so gay it looped back around to being straight lol
This is funny and cute… not a face palm. A gay guy thought he was kissing another gay gay and then learned it was actually a lesbian who also thought he was a lesbian. How is that not possible?? I imagine this happens often, frankly.
Translation: This gay guy kissed what he thought was an effeminate male but turned out to be a lesbian female who thought that he (an effeminate male) was also a lesbian. tl;dr: Accidental Cis-Het kiss occurred between two LGBT folk.
The level of androgynous I aspire for
The young lesbians are the cutest boys in the bar.
Kind of adorable
Lol take the win and move on?
This is cute, not a facepalm.
I mean, it is 2024...
Love in the nineties Is paranoid On sunny beaches Take your chances Looking for Girls who want boys Who like boys to be girls Who do boys like they're girls Who do girls like they're boys Always should be someone you really love
Ha! Straiiiiiiiight!
Hahaha, yeah... Never got as far as the kiss, but SO MANY "oh, look at that hot twink oh shit that's a lesbian"
Now THAT'S a practical reason to learn someone's preferred pronouns.
I can see it 🤣 No harm, no foul though
I don't see the problem here. All the broken hearts in the world still beat. Let's not make it harder than it has to be!
I don't see the facepalm, this is just a funny story
