It’s a funny thing, human nature. You meet someone who can tell you — in vivid, Oscar-worthy detail — exactly why everyone else in their life is the villain.
Ex-wife #1? A money-grabber.
Ex-wife #2? Also a money-grabber.
The neighbour? Suspiciously too interested in their fence.
The postman? Probably plotting something with the gas meter.

You start to wonder… what are the odds that lightning strikes in the exact same spot over and over again?

Especially when the “victim” in question has been “forced” to endure long days of fishing trips, tennis matches, and £500 fishing rods while their spouses heroically kept the household afloat on budgets so tight you could hear them squeak. Coffee? Too expensive. New curtains? Only if you buy them with your own money (preferably at a car boot sale).

Yet, when the relationship ends, they announce, “I’ll go back to my ex. She’ll have me.”
Cue dramatic pause.
Because in reality, she wouldn’t give him the time of day — and possibly not even the time of year.

And here’s where the math gets interesting. When two, three, or four people have the exact same complaint about you, there’s only one logical question:

Who’s the common denominator?
Hint: It’s not the ex-wives.

So next time someone’s pointing the finger at everyone else, remember — there are three fingers pointing right back at them. And maybe, just maybe, one hand holding a fishing rod they didn’t need in the first place.
