I worked with a woman that was living check to check and had very little money after her bills. She got a "free" horse that cost her 800 a month in bills. Wtf is it with horses that make people so foolish?

That said, a horse like that is by absolutely no account worth $7,500+. That horse is worth glue. I love horses, but people will give you a decent-quality horse. I've been offered perfectly fine horses a number of times. They will probably have to pay someone to take it. All three of those people have no business with a horse.

So, that 16 YO boy is going on a tour of East Asia next year with his globetrotting 25 YO Cool AuntTM? She's totally going to buy him a hooker and get him high as poo poo in some opium den.

Are horses big in furry circles, or is more of a "just you" thing?

"Let's buy a horse together" must like the all-female version of when idiot couples have a baby to "help bring them closer together".

I love the Lego guy story. Because he told her, "I would rather do nothing or play with toys than travel with you" - which may be the most honest answer given in the history of r/relationships; but her mind just can believe he's that lame, and thinks he's withholding something.

There is only one answer and it is calling her sobbing about your murdered friend.

54 40 or gently caress posted:Lol, projecting much? I would have thought that regardless. Sometimes partners can be flawed would have sufficed. I mean maybe, but your reaction to the story was to cast doubt on a completely plausible scenario and suggest the OP was omitting information about their own failings, which just so happened to correspond to a well-known gender stereotype and had no other supporting evidence whatsoever. Given a gender-flipped counterfactual of the situation outlined in the initial post, would your initial reaction really have been suggesting that a woman who had abandoned her job and sold her home to support her partner's career, and was working hard but failing to get a business off the ground in a foreign country, was probably just attracting justified ire because they're slovenly and a poor homemaker?

They actually have services for hiring people to act as your friend for selfies and stuff, so he should do that once and have his imagibuddy tell his realiofriend that he's moving immediately to Budapest to pursue his new life as a lion tamer. I mean seriously, she's gonna at least want to see his Facebook page so might as well go all out.

The tacit understanding with all Christmas gifts is that even if you don't like them, you act grateful and thank the person. Then you place the aforementioned gift somewhere in your house where you never have to use it. How is that so hard for her to figure out?

They already have 24 chairs! They don't need 8 more! Also this "gift" sounds like he's just trying to insist on how they decorate their home.

Holy poo poo nothing in this thread has made me as mad as this story. As a former professional woodworker, these people clearly have no idea just how labor and skill is required to make chairs from scratch. If someone makes you a chair, let alone an entire set, it means they loving love the hell out of you. Also, their "dark cherry" stained furniture is probably absolute horse poo poo next to whatever dad made and I'm sure their house is an encyclopedia of bad design decisions if they can't even appreciate the gesture of handmade loving chairs.

Adam Vegas posted:The tacit understanding with all Christmas gifts is that even if you don't like them, you act grateful and thank the person. It isn't, but 8 wooden chairs can eat up a lot of storage space and they're the kind of thing the person giving them would expect to see out when they visit which will be the awkward part, if they can't lie through Christmas they're just dumb it's a super nice gesture/gift on the father-in-law's part, but it's also definitely an imposition and the reason some categories of gifts probably shouldn't be surprises

These handmade hardwood chairs don't match my laminate furniture though! Seriously though getting an entire set of furniture to look exactly the same makes your house look like poo poo. I was in the business for awhile. Any designer will tell you the same thing.

Also I guarantee that "dark cherry" looks like horseshit. That is the most incorrigibly nouveau-riche wood hue in the entire loving known universe since the beginning of loving time.

Its really easy to say "Be grateful for the giant expensive labor intensive present" when you are NOT the one having to receive the unwanted, unhidable, ruins the aesthetic of your lives biggest investment present. Its exactly the same as how people always claim they would NEVER change *sports team* just because they were offered 100 million dollars. Easy to claim when its never going to be tested.

No you see I would rather have a bunch of dusty old creaky pieces of poo poo from a dead person than a lovingly handcrafted gift from a dear family member.

Their aesthetic is poo poo and they are dumb. Go find any interior designer/decorator and tell them you want every piece of furniture in your dining room to be from the same set. Notice the sharp intake of breath and the tightening around the eyes.
