Those memes are a play on people's insecurities regarding their love life. The "she" in question is your girlfriend/wife.

The "you" in the meme is always inferior in one way or another, usually ridiculously/comically so compared to the "guy she tells you not to worry about."

The "guy she tells you not to worry about" is a reference to a male friend or acquaintance of your girlfriend/wife that is way better looking than you, or more successful, has more money, etc.



It's weird explaining memes. Those know your meme people must have an interesting time writing all those entries.

Flashbacks to to having to run on unmaintained blacktop in the middle of a an unmaintained field in the middle of summer in Northern California. I seriously didn’t know what golden state meant I always thought it meant they were rich not that everything dries out and dies during the hell blast summer. Even gently tapping any of the fried grass and weeds would turn them to dust which made breathing even without asthma fun but there was this one girl they dragged out there every pt day and every pt day she would have an asthma attack and use her emergency inhaler and every time her symptoms got under control they would make her run through more dust. This was a medical squadron that included the pulmonary clinic.

I have to get back to studying but when I get back I tell (maybe retell?) the story of the aerial gunner who couldn’t tell his left from his right.

They let people in who have inhalers now? When I was in high school I was thinking about enlisting but that was a showstopper. Dodged a bullet in retrospect.

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

We had a kid who was left/right blind. The nicest kid I ever met, wouldn't even kill mosquitoes, always had funny stories to tell. But, fun fact about chainsaws, bar oil (heavy duty lube for chains)goes in the left tank and 2-stroke mix goes in the right tank and if that order is reversed, it's a monstrous bitch to fix. The third saw he put bar oil in, we took him off saw and gave him a double bit axe. He learned after that to look in the tank and see what was in it before he poured.

Is this some sort of medical condition I've never heard of? I'm having trouble imagining how a relatively high functioning adult could not know left from right.

It's not uncommon and doesn't work like you think.

Mines not as severe as that writer's.

You tell me to raise my right hand, you got it. You tell me to go right, and I got to remember which hand that is on my body first.

I developed a couple of little tricks as a kid, but I typically wiggle my fingers on the correct hand when i hear the direction now.

Speaking of childhood, it didn't usually get me in too much trouble at school because it didn't seem to give me any dyslexia, but I think it messed up my ability to remember numbers longer than 3 digits -- my mental image of the number starts to shift around.

I got faster at remembering left and right because I started to get muscle memory though JROTC and military schools, like stepping off on the left foot, but it took a lot of frustration to get there, because I have to have that half second "which one's that" thought.

As an adult, it usually only messes me up driving and I get a little extra u-turn practice than most people. It annoys the wife sometimes, taking a small detour, but I also don't dive across Lanes to exit like the writer.

It’s different when you’re running with a 40kg ruck uphill or through soft sand with a boat on your head.

poo poo I’ve seen fat corpsmen cook themselves to like 105 just a few miles into a ruck on a cool and cloudy day but that was just a conditioning issue.

I was real bad about it as a kid because I misunderstood the entire concept and thought it was an absolute reference like east and west. Every time I needed to reference left/right I'd imagine my first grade classroom on a map, mentally walk from there to where I was while keeping track of the turns, and then after all these mental gymnastics determin that actually, "left" is, at this time, in this place, 6 oclock directly behind me.

Then one day somebody told me "ey kid your left hand is the one whats shaped like a L"

I had that until some point in my mid-20's, when I suddenly realized I didn't need to use the mnemonic anymore (in my case writing hand->left hand!).
