Looks Pretty Emo

| Romantic | September 2, 2013

(My boyfriend’s style is typically gothic, meaning head-to-toe black with lots of studs, spikes, and chains. My style is eclectic, so sometimes I dress very preppy on purpose just for the fun on it.)

Me: “I love this.”

Boyfriend: “Dressing in all pink just to see the looks on people’s faces when we walk around together?”

Me: “Yes! It’s too funny. It doesn’t bug you, does it?”

Boyfriend: “H*** no! Do you have any idea how many times guys come up to me asking how someone like me scored someone like you?”

Me: “What do you tell them?”

Boyfriend: “It just depends. My favorites are ‘Shh, I’m kidnapping her’ and ‘I sold my soul to the Devil.'”

Upon Reflection, He’s A Keeper

| Romantic | August 29, 2013

(I am at the mall with a guy who I have just started seeing.)

Boyfriend: “So we just passed by that store. I looked in and saw this really pretty girl! And then I realized it was you, and I was looking at a reflection on the window!”

Me: “Ha ha thanks. I can’t believe you just did that!”

Boyfriend: “Yeah, I can’t believe she was with that guy next to her; I’m way better looking than him.”

Give Them Food-Stamp For Thought

| Working | August 13, 2013

(My friend is in the ICU. I am babysitting her kids, and also have my own. It is Halloween, and I decide to take them trick or treating to cheer them up. In total I have nine children with me. We are in a group of stores that are in a mall that are having a Halloween party for kids to trick or treat at. Just as I pass by, an employee starts speaking loudly to me.)

Employee: “Think you got enough kids there, mom?”

Me: “What!”

Employee: “Ain’t welfare grand? The more you have the more food stamps you get. F****** welfare mama!”

My Son: “What’s food stamps? Why would anyone mail food?”

Friend’s Ten-Year-Old Son: *yelling* “She’s not my mom. My mom’s in the hospital in ICU, in a coma! And food stamps are the only way dad can feed us. My mom and dad have good jobs, and work hard, and I’m not gonna let some nosy bully like you talk like that to us!”

(The employee is white in the face and stuttering, when the manager walks up behind her.)

Manager: “Please clean out your things and leave.”

(The employee apologizes with tears streaming down her face.)

Friend’s Ten-Year-Old Son: “Please don’t fire her. Then her kids will cry when they need food stamps!”

Manager: *turns to the employee* “I guess we’re both having bad days.”

(The manager gives all the kids extra treat bags, and apologizes. He also agrees to only give his employee a warning. My friend does eventually recover, but is in a coma for three months. Ironically, she works as a case worker for the state in the food stamp division.)

Getting Her Knickers In A Twist

| Romantic | June 28, 2013

(I am in a long distance relationship with a woman who has a very low sex drive, and is rarely ever openly sexual. She has received a coupon to a large chain that specializes in underwear. She has spent the previous month hinting, and then flat-out saying that I will get to pick out what she uses it on, referring to it as my ‘early Christmas present’. The day we go, I spent the time playing pack mule through the mall before we arrive at the underwear store.)

Me: “How about these? They look pretty good to me, and they would look even better on you!”

Girlfriend: *very curtly* “No! Not those, find something else!”

(This process repeats until she lays out two pairs of ‘granny panties’ that I can pick.)

Me: “Well, not quite the selection I thought I had, but the blue ones I guess.”

Girlfriend: “Ugh! I knew you would try to pick something skimpy; you are such a perv!”

Me: “Well, I’m sorry. But when you said we were lingerie shopping for my ‘early Christmas present’, I thought you were being flirty.”

Girlfriend: “Men can be such pigs! Ever since we started dating, all you ever wanted to do is have sex!”

Me: “I’m going to stop you there. We’ve been dating two years now. We have never even come CLOSE to having sex. You said you wanted to wait till you were married, and I’m fine with that. I have NEVER said anything to pressure you. I am not, however, fine with being insulted and called a perv every time I so much as acknowledge that sex is a thing.”

Girlfriend: “You are just such a pig!”

(She then storms out of the store with the underwear in hand, and is arrested for shoplifting. Six-months later I hear that she is pregnant, and unsure as to who the father is.)

Putting The Relation Into Relationship, Part 6

| Right | June 20, 2013

(My boyfriend and I are going shopping for my brother’s seventh birthday. A middle age customer walks up to us.)

Customer: “Aww, isn’t that cute?”

Me: “What is?”

Customer: “Brother and sister shopping together. You both look like twins!”

(My boyfriend laughs.)

Me: “Sorry, but we aren’t related at all. We’re dating; you know, boyfriend and girlfriend.”

Customer: “No, you’re not! You haven’t held hands or hugged each other. Show me!”

Boyfriend: “Well, let’s not keep her waiting…”

(I give him a kiss, which throws the customer into a rage.)

Customer: “HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD?! THAT IS INCEST!”
