MarcusSA posted:It would be loving hilarious if this ring was like worth 50k or some poo poo but she was just too much of a moron to realize it. Although I wonder how much that would change if you just bought it as a generic ring and didn't get the "this is for marriage" surcharge attached.

I would venture a guess that engagement rings depreciate in value precisely because of people like the woman here who don’t want to get a secondhand ring

Yeah if they're just complaining about the size and cost, they're jerks, but if they're complaining about aesthetics or function*, idk it seems kind of legit to care about something you'll be wearing and staring at 24/7 for hopefully the rest of your life *like rings with protruding prongs or things can snag on stuff, vs. low-profile ones

I know all the stuff around wedding rings is pretty dumb, but I can't stop laughing at the idea someone would think an engagement ring is only worn during the engagement and then just shoved in the back of a jewelry box until you die. We're not quite at the "disposable diamond ring" level of capitalist hell yet. Midnight Voyager fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Feb 27, 2019 |

the engagement ring is hidden inside an egg, in a duck, in a hare, locked in an iron chest buried under the roots of a mighty tree, on an island with no name, from which it must be retrieved by any brave soul who wishes to initiate divorce

How dare a woman have opinions about a piece of jewelry that she’ll be expected and hoping to wear for the rest of her married life. Whose sentimentality is entirely one sided. She handled the proposal like a huge rear end in a top hat though. Men are delicate creatures that need to be coddled and lied to because the truth is too painful. Should have tucked the heirloom into the back of a jewelry box and gotten a shiny new placeholder that can withstand everyday wear and tear.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:yeah I was all set up to get mad at her for being awful but! in a shocking twist! You're actually with her mentality that because he can afford to pay artificial DeBeers diamond prices, he's obligated to? As in, proposing with anything other than a tacky oversided impractical-for-daily wear rock is unacceptable and makes him a lesser man? Because that's how much an investment banker makes in 3 months, the advertised minimum-spend to show he's serious. Remember, if her complaints where about it being ugly, impractical, uncomfortable etc they'd have merit. But no need to project, she says exactly what's wrong: "It looked old and the stones looked average at best". She's already recanted and admitted how wrong she was/is in the comments. People in this thread defending her previous stance are total fuckwits without a leg to stand on. EDIT: cock hero flux posted:it's an engagement ring, you wear it for like, a few months

I agreed, and uh, this story kind of validates what she said, even if it was years ago... Seriously though, how hard is it to wash your drat dick? I'm circumcised and I try my best to make sure it's clean in the shower every single day.

For adults it's just another part of the shower routine to pull back and wash. I have no loving clue how someone neglects to wash their dick ever and doesn't have a constant urinary tract infection.

I’m not all gung ho on murdering dogs but you can bet your rear end those types of situations can turn in an instant. Especially supported by the cop afterward, it sounds like everything is on the up and up. The only monster in that story is that piece of human waste neighbor that apparently lets her untrained aggressive dogs just run around the neighborhood. That dog’s blood is on her.

But I was kind of implying that gross rear end idiots (of which there appears to be more than a few of them based on this thread) who don't clean their dingalings properly are much more likely to be smelly and gross down there relative to if they're circumcised and don't wash it.

AITA for literally running away from a date? This was a while back but I went to some swanky bar in San Fran and this cute girl started talking to me. She was a little bit forward, which was somewhat unsettling. But we went back to my place and things got weird from there. She started demanding that I order pizza because she was hungry. And then she grabbed my laptop and put on some really obscure movie. When the pizza got here, she started jamming it into her face with no plate or anything. On my bed. The next morning I offer to buy her breakfast. Really I just wanted to get her out of my apartment because I was becoming increasingly unattracted to her. Problem was that every restaurant was closed. So after about the 3rd restaurant she started saying that I could just take her home. So I agreed and started headed to the next block over where my car was parked. She must have liked me and been nervous. But the stuff she was saying was just... weird. I tried to blow it off but then she said words I'll never forget, "What kind of car do you have? If I like it I might just have to steal it!" I mean. Of course. Of course she's kidding. Right? But it was the maniacal cackle that followed that made me start thinking. What if she liked me and I didn't like her back...how would she handle that? I nervously decided against bringing her to my car. I just didn't like the idea of night after night having my car parked out on the street completely vulnerable. Instead of bringing it up, my instinct was to think of some way out of this. I was spinning myself up thinking of all the crazy horror stories I've heard on Reddit. That's when I resorted to drastic measures. I kept insisting that I treat her to breakfast. That it was the right thing to do. Wouldn't take no for an answer. My plan was to invite her to sit down, go to use the men's room, and then simply never return to the table. I didn't know what else to do. But after literally the 8th restaurant we went to was closed (wtf), I began to panic. How was I going to get away from this woman without taking her to my car? That's when I saw the shining beacon. A tiny convenience mart. I walked in, grabbed a frozen steak sandwich, some kinda potato, and an orange juice. I told her to get whatever she wants and I set my stuff on the counter. She was in back of the store. I was in the front. I put my index finger up at the clerk to signal like I just received a phone call. I held my hand over the phone and said, "gotta take this, put everything on my tab." He looked confused. I didn't care. I walked out slowly. As soon as I was out of sight, I shoved my phone in my pocket and ran faster than I ever ran before. I heard her call after me like 30 seconds later. She said, "wait, where are you going!?" Without looking back or slowing down I yelled, "it's an emergency!" She was pissed. Started sending me angry texts. I just apologized and said it was a personal emergency. But at least she doesn't know what my car looks like.
