yeah by the barry, other than you should know by now that men arent in charge anymore and that you can get off your fat ass and make food for yourself and whatever, did it ever occour to you that the hoody might be falling apart or maybe not washed in weeks? clothes do have their limits as to when its time to throw them away, or are you too busy playing games in your moms basement wearing a potatosack to notice ?
WTH would happen to a guy if he attempted to throw out some favored clothing item of his girlfriend? Shit would hit the fan without a doubt.
But somehow, girls think it’s alright to throw out anything and everything their boyfriend likes. Or have it somehow have an ‘accident’ that necessitates throwing it out. It doesn’t matter if it’s ‘falling apart’, it’s HIS, not HERS. Women are easily replaced. Replacing a hoodie or shirt or jeans or whatever that you’ve broken in and like? Not so much.
Yes, however, you’re kind of missing the point that it’s HIS property, and therefore HIS say-so on whether or not, and when, it gets thrown out. Would you like someone arbitarily deciding whether your stuff stays or goes? No, you wouldn’t. Sure, talk to him, say “that hoodie’s getting a bit old and tatty, it’s stained, and it smells even when you DO wash it – don’t you think it’s time you got a new one?”. Maybe he’ll actually go along with it; he may even have been thinking about it for some time but didn’t know if he (or the two of you, if you’re on a joint budget) could afford it right now, and the suggestion will be the excuse he needs to splash out. Or maybe it’s a sentimental thing – he’s had it since he was at college and it’s a reminder of those halcyon days, and possibly friends that have been lost along the way. (My uni scuba club one certainly is both of those, and anyone who threatens it will meet with deadly force).
I don’t often feel like – or feel comfortable – saying sexist things, but that post is either a deliberate troll or written by the same kind of selfish, arrogant woman who thinks that she knows what’s right for everyone else in the world, and will go ahead and do it without asking or further contemplating whether she really should. Often said “right thing” comes down to throwing away / replacing the target’s things, or interfering with their social life behind the scenes… even though the woman in question may not be too good at keeping her own sh*t together. Probably because her nose is stuck in too many other pies that are, strictly speaking, none of her f*cking business.
We all know at least one, I bet (whether or not we realise it yet)…… luckily I only know a couple, and have managed to fight back enough that this sort of infuriating nonsense isn’t the issue it once was (vigourous bouts of “see this stuff? MINE. You don’t touch. Else I start playing games with YOUR stuff as well. Same thing goes for my friends, anyone I’m dating, and their friends too.” seem to do the trick).
The other women and girls I know are a bit better-adjusted and we all get on fine most days, apart from the occasional blowup that seems to happen about the same point in a 4-week rotation (but not EVERY 4 weeks…). The “battle of the sexes” isn’t that fierce a thing any more, but some of the soliders don’t seem to have got the news about the armistice. And some are just psychos who don’t care, and have little concern for others’ feelings – like Meghan.
(and yes… men like this exist as well… and I know at least one… but for some reason they seem less common. Maybe it’s a glass ceiling effect – they end up becoming heads of business (or state), removed from the everyday world quite a bit so they can’t spread the un-love in a concentrated, personal way, but instead add small particles of misery to millions of other people’s lives instead)
It depends on how you wash your whites… Personally I don’t wash ‘em with bleach – so in such a case the blue’d turn all my whites baby blue or grey… The idea that white stuff’ll bleach the blue zip up on it’s own is a laughable, epic fail…
And in any case, thinking he’ll throw it out after that treatment is pretty short sighted, if it’s got beaten-up enough that she’s thinking about summarily throwing it in the trash.
Mind you we can tell she’s unhinged in how she KNOWS that this course of action will cause stress and drama, but is going to forge ahead with it by underhand means instead.
Now if you don’t mind me I need to go find out what’s happened to my 12-year-old Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt I got from Reykjavic on a group trip up to Iceland… took it out from the archive end of my cupboard to wear to a Rammstein gig last week… gone in the washer but haven’t seen it since, as I wasn’t the one emptying it.
I’d never do that to a guy. I always hated it when my mom would do that to me. I’d ask him to consider donating it to the Salvation Army or Goodwill and buy him nicer ones, but I’d never toss it or have an intentional accident with it.
Am I the only woman who thinks this way? And if I am then why am I single?
Gee, and here I thought it was because I’m fat, or because I believe in God, or because I’m a republican, or because I listen to big band and disco music, or because I like Star Trek, or because I read comic books, or because I refuse to watch Sex In The City and What Not To Wear, or because I play role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons….
But I still wouldn’t throw out my man’s favorite clothing without his permission.
I’d never do do this to a guy (partly b/c I myself have a blue hoodie I wear that I’ve had since i was 12 (am not 19), still fits, been thinking about fixing up some) but mostly because it’s not right. If he likes it it shouldn’t be any business of hers, and if its ripped up she could surprise him and fix it up a bit. I’m glad she got caught lol
Yeah,I agree. Going behind his back and throwing it away or staging an “accident” is mean.
If she really hates it that much,she should just talk to him about it or just go shopping with him for new hoodies.
Gj defending all females lol. Even though im a guy putting down girls is the opposite of what to do. Who put up with you being in their stomach making them sick, and other stuff needed not to be said. A WOMAN. So respect them and they respect you…… Even though it is wrong for her to do that….for example go to the bottom to read my other comment by “LOL”. She shoulda atleast talked to him about it first.
This is some pretty sexist thinking by the woman in question and sets women back 50 years. Other than that, it’s just wrong to take someone else’s possessions without their permission. Sheesh…where does she get off?? FAIL.
If this guy were into comfort and not fashion, then he wouldn’t have gotten ROCCAWEAR jacket. I mean, what the fuck? He would have gone to wal mart or target like any other person and gotten some random no-name no-label jacket.
It’s a common IRC and messageboard trope to treat typed text as something a person has “said”. There’s not really any good words for noting in short or elegant form that you can see what someone has written, so we act like synaesthetes to pretend that it’s speech instead.
Hence, he’s on her friendslist (as you would be), she’s posted a public status update, he of course can see it – and it’s basically the same effect as his sitting in the same room as her and her friends, she forgets he’s there somehow, starts talking about him “behind his back” to the circle… “ahem – i’m still here…”
lol……pwned
Lolz. That sexist crap never gets old, does it?
Its spelt ‘Sammich’.
Not always, to some it’s ‘sandvich’. Nao gb2/tf2/

by the way **
no, I prefer “by the barry”

Stfu and go get in the kitchen and make me a sammich
Not to mention the act of willfully discarding an item of somebody else’s is considered theft.
What if a previous girlfriend gave it to him and it’s his favorite one?? How is that supposed to make her feel.
(That’s my situation right now. And I’m his wife. I think the “accidental” bleaching is a terrific idea. Bye, bye Fender jacket
)
It’s a comfy Hoodie, Trhowing it away would be a crime!

She could at least spell “attempt” right…
Oh shit! Her plan is a fail! The boyfriend knows.
And why did she wrote this in a status when she has her boyfriend for facebook friend, I will never understand these situations.
She thinks washing it with whites will bleach it white … best laugh I’ve had all day!
You don’t really get how bleach works, do you?
It depends on how you wash your whites… Personally I don’t wash ‘em with bleach – so in such a case the blue’d turn all my whites baby blue or grey… The idea that white stuff’ll bleach the blue zip up on it’s own is a laughable, epic fail…

Maybe you think too much…?
Gee, and here I thought it was because I’m fat, or because I believe in God, or because I’m a republican, or because I listen to big band and disco music, or because I like Star Trek, or because I read comic books, or because I refuse to watch Sex In The City and What Not To Wear, or because I play role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons….

What if talking didn’t work?
@ Jamisings:
You’re a gem among shit, don’t ever change.
Lame…
FAIL
As a female chef, I will be more than happy to make you a sandwich. It’ll cost you $12 plus tax and an 18% gratuity. Sides are extra.
Awesome response to the troll without taking the flame-bait!

What sandwich is worth $12??
This is some pretty sexist thinking by the woman in question and sets women back 50 years. Other than that, it’s just wrong to take someone else’s possessions without their permission. Sheesh…where does she get off?? FAIL.
If this guy were into comfort and not fashion, then he wouldn’t have gotten ROCCAWEAR jacket. I mean, what the fuck? He would have gone to wal mart or target like any other person and gotten some random no-name no-label jacket.
What concerns me is the fact that he posted he could “hear” her. i don’t understand that part at all. (text to speech maybe?)
It’s a common IRC and messageboard trope to treat typed text as something a person has “said”. There’s not really any good words for noting in short or elegant form that you can see what someone has written, so we act like synaesthetes to pretend that it’s speech instead.
