In his "last" Brotherhood 2.0 video, John Green said once, "life is about doing things that don't suck with people that don't suck."
So, it got me to thinking: Which is better: Doing things that suck with people who don't suck, or doing things that don't suck with people that suck?
I was thinking, if you're going to play Laser Tag with a bunch of people who don't really like you, you're not going to have a good time.
But, if you have to go clean up a stable with a bunch of your best friends, you guys might make jokes to pass the time, and things will be way more pleasant.
I think it also has to do with the expectations. Things that go better than expected are said to go "well", while things that go worse go "bad". Playing Laser Tag would be under the "good expectations" category. Cleaning a stable would probably not. The people who you're with is a part of the experience as well.
