Since voting seems to be the in thing right now, we are going to have ourselves another one.
Over the weekend I attended the wedding of my cousin. It was a lavish affair where assloads of fun was had. Many amazing and hilarious things happened including one of my cousins riding up and down in the hotel elevator at 3 AM cleaning the floor with a vacuum he found in a closet. But, these are tales for another time because today we vote on what level of a dick I am.
As you may have realized, I am clueless about everything. My brother isn't much better. Since I am aware of our mental deficiencies, I often consult my parents just to be sure I am not being a complete moron. So before the wedding I had asked, with my brother present, how much money would be an appropriate gift. Their answer was around what I had figured.
Now shortly before leaving for the festivities, I began to think that, due to a recent influx of cash, I should give more because this was a very big event for my cousin and the entire family. Additional money was placed into the card. I told no one of this.
It only just occured to me yesterday that this generous increase in my gift may have caused a problem. In my haze of sentimentality and benevolence I failed to realize that I may have just pulled an incredible dick move on my brother (I hope that sentence doesn't show up in a keyowrd search).
Here are some painful facts to consider before you vote. My brother and I make approximately the same amount of money. I don't really have a closer relationship with my cousin than he does, but I have had more recent contact with him. What I gave as a gift was 50% more than my brother did. A full $37.50.
That's about it. I'm not feeling very confident. Remember I was doing it for good reasons! I'm just very dumb.

well, did you put quarters in the card or what?
I don't think you're a dick. It was for your cousin... your brother has nothing to do with it and if your cousin is the grateful type he shouldn't think twice about it.
I think you're only a dick if you consider the extra money as a down payment on future adulterous relations with your cousin's wife. Unless of course your cousin is the wife, in which case you sicken me.
I don't think you're a dick at all. It was nice of you to be a little extra generous.
And how will your brother ever even know?
Did the do a dollar dance where they pin money to the bride's dress?
You're right, it was a dick move on your brother.
It shouldn't be that way, cause you're doin something nice & it's coming from a nice, kind, warm place. (I mean that in the most holistic way possible).
I think it was nice, but I think your bro might think you purposefully slighted him (esp. since you asked how much in the 1st place).
Hey, whatdya know! I googled "pull an incredible dick move on my brother" and this site popped up!
