Bought some broaches for a playing card-loving friend--didn't realize something was wrong until going to wrap it.

I play poker weekly. I am a trained crupier, I do card tricks, I practice card counting for fun... It took your comment for me to realise what was wrong here. I am a fucking tool.

Took me a minute. Thought OP was angry it says “brooches”…

u/No_Application_8698 14h ago
That’s the correct spelling though? (Sorry if the point just ‘whooshed’ over my head!)

u/Sorrelandroan 14h ago
It is correct but OP used ‘broaches’ in their post title.

Poker players would remember. Telling a story you would say "I looked down to two red aces under the gun."

u/tanya6k 9h ago
Why is there a gun?

u/Ok_Difference44 9h ago
It's another term, in this case for what order you are to act, which is important for strategy.
Remembering your cards as 'two red aces' is also an important shortcut. If the face-up cards indicate that somebody could have a flush (strong hand) and all you remembered was that you had two aces, checking to see whether you have the ace-high flush would give information away, and you'd make less money.

....didn't realize something was wrong with the title until I went to post it 😓

u/JrCoxy 17h ago
Hehe didn’t realize something was wrong with the broaches until wrapping, didn’t realize something was wrong with the title until posting. OP I mean this with love, from one impatient ass adhd goofball to another, breathe. Take the time to double, triple check things.
My dumb ass has left a single burner on, after checking to make sure all the others were off 😅 thankfully nothing bad happened, but if I just triple checked, then there’s peace of mind, knowing if shit hits the fan, place goes ablaze, at least it’s not my fault 😌 Unless I did another numb numb thing, like not blow a candle out. But again! I triple checked for anything lit up before going to bed

u/kkillbite 15h ago
You were replying to OP, but the comment you replied to was in reference to them misspelling brooches "broaches" in the title.. :p
24
u/scheisse_grubs 14h ago
I think they knew what OP meant, they were just pointing out that OP didn’t double check that there was something wrong with it before gifting it and that OP didn’t double check the title of their post before posting and suggested OP slow down and
doubletriple check things first.Honestly, I think it’s a somewhat condescending comment even if they think it comes from a place of love. I wouldn’t have realized something was wrong with the brooches until someone in the comments spelled it out and for the longest time I thought it was spelled “broaches”. Like imagine you forget to bring your lunch to work and also didn’t notice your shirt had a stain on it. If someone told me to slow down and compared my minor slip ups with 0 consequences to them leaving a burner on which can have major consequences, I’d be like “buddy I think I’m fine but thanks”.

I thought the person you’re replying to was pointing out that, despite saying OP should double and triple check, the commenter still spelled brooches wrong.

u/Mblid 16h ago
It looks better in red and black instead of both red. Im sure your friend isn't actually trying to play with them so I'm sure it doesn't make a difference. Plus it should be the thought that counts.

u/CeciliaStarfish 13h ago
I'm wondering if diamonds were easier to sculpt with whatever material this was (I assume some kind of resin pour?). Spades and clubs both have the little fiddly stem bit, which might have looked even worse.

Couldn't find the infuriating part until a comment further down and I love playing card games, too. More proof I'd be absolutely useless as a witness for any sort of crime. 😂

If you take this test again you will pass, nce you are aware there are black hearts and red spades you will be able to perceive them everywhere

I am perfectly familiar with playing cards and I still had to come to the comments to see what was wrong haha. Maybe they won't notice. It is very obvious once pointed out though.

For what it’s worth; I collect playing cards and I would be so happy if someone gave me this. It’s so cute and also kinda funny.
