Fuck anyone who tries to say I'm less of a man for relaxing in a hot bath after busting ass all day."

    –u/throwawaytrumper

    "If you've never lit some candles, got a nice glass (or a couple) of your favorite beverage, and sat in a bubble bath until the water starts to get a little chilly – possibly while watching Hallmark movies or something similar – you should. Treat yourself, King."

    17. "Romantic Comedies."

    Warner Bros.

    "My favorite are the three starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Joe Versus the Volcano, You've Got Mail, and Sleepless in Seattle. Damn, those are some mighty fine films! I will watch those movies on repeat. To be fair, most of the '80s and '90s rom-coms are good."
