Good-option dilemma

The good-option dilemma is that typical scenario where—for example—some evil authority figure holding you hostage gives you two options: one where you suffer the most and the other where you don't suffer as long as you give them what they want. Obviously you pick the second option out of desperation, but the dilemma here is that no matter what option you choose, in the end the evil figure will still make you suffer (typically by being killed or watching your loved ones die).
I had a good-option dilemma today where my computer's SSD got corrupted and I either had two options: wipe everything and do a clean reinstall of Windows, or pay a few hundred bucks to have some specialist recover the contents. So I paid for the recovery but the people shipped back the wrong drive with somebody else's files! So in the end, I had to wipe my drive no matter which option I went for. This is the good-option dilemma in a nutshell.

Good Job Jeff

An error, mistake or severe lack of knowledge. A screw up of historic proportions by a person who ruins everything.
When Jeff requests a song in Nashville and upon hearing the song being played, Janet responds, “I don’t even like Dave Matthew’s, who requested this?”, and it was Jeff…

And all the friends respond - Good Job Jeff!

Good soul

You are a good soul. You are always good. It's sad to see the good in you and your family in the endless lives you have to say that you are appreciated as you are not to be a good friend of a person who sees you in a world full of children that have been there for you and I. I hate good souls for not being able to make a difference in this universe.
You are always a good soul you just have to face your fears arlo.
