That's a perfectly reasonable way to show her what she's missing

Eric Smith got himself dumped and promptly did the only thing that would mend his heart: buy a custom-made Master Chief outfit. Now he can lurk in the streets while crying on the inside.

Shortlist via Buzzfeed: "It all started with the decision to propose to his girlfriend. Unlike the majority of guys, Smith went to great efforts to have a special ring designed just for her. She'd described her ideal ring and he'd followed it down to the very finest detail, including a canary yellow diamond. But before he'd had the chance to propose, she broke it to him that she was actually leaving to be with someone else. Smith was now stuck with a broken heart and an expensive, niche ring which he couldn't bear to look at. Even after selling it on eBay, he needed to get rid of the money and be done with the whole sorry situation. So, he did what any sane gamer would do: have an artist create a full-scale suit of armour modelled after Master Chief from Halo. It's something he'd always wanted and without any other major responsibilities, he made one of the most significant purchases he'd ever made."

Why is it I think it's a good thing that I have no clue who or what Master Chief is (and yes I am under 40). Might explain why I have a wife...
