The Things We Do For Love
Love makes people do all sorts of strange things, but Reddit user Damnit_Bird might’ve taken it a step too far. In an attempt to impress their crush, they agreed to play a brutal game of bloody knuckles—a painful game where players take turns hitting each other’s fists until someone gives up. Spoiler: it’s not a cute bonding moment.
Unsurprisingly, the game left them with sore, aching hands and zero romance to show for it. It turns out that playing a violent game isn’t the best way to spark chemistry. Instead of earning admiration, they walked away with bruises and a story that makes them wince to this day. Lesson learned: love hurts, but it doesn’t have to involve actual injuries.
