10 Items Of His We'd Like To Toss
A lonely girlfriend destroys her boyfriend's Xbox, making us all daydream about the items we'd toss.
Recently, the girlfriend of men's nightmares took a golf club to her boyfriend's Xbox 360, simply because he wasn't showing her enough attention. A small (OK, a large) part of us gave a mental fist pump. After all, we know what it's like to be overshadowed by our man's favorite toys. The other part of us wanted to tell this guy to get a restraining order. Still, it's fun to daydream about what we'd demolish, if only we weren't afraid of incurring psycho status. And so, here are the top 10 items of his we wish we could toss out the window:
1) His New Laptop
Because when he buys a laptop (or any other shiny, new gadget), it is inevitable that he will spend the rest of the weekend installing the latest, geek-chic operating system, playing around with Skype, and fiddling with the display theme instead of spending time with you.
2) His Gaming System Du Jour
Because we sympathize with Xbox Girl. We really do. Especially because we experienced a similarly frustrating scenario when our man became addicted to World of Warcraft. We were so tempted to sneak into his system and delete his account. (But we didn't!) Come on, man. At least indulge us with some two-player games! Study: Men More Likely To Be Video Game Addicts
3) His iPod
Because he often fiddles with it in the car instead of watching the road, and we fear for our lives. For the love of god.
4) His Red Bull
Because it makes his breath smell like cough medicine. No kisses for him! Slim Jims could go, too, come to think of it.
5) His "Adult Entertainment" Collection
Because... well... we have nothing against pornography. Heck, we even have our own naughty drawer. But the sheer volume of your Penthouse stash makes us nervous, and we totally wish that you'd invest in something naughty that we could enjoy together. Porn: When It Helps & When It Hurts
6) His Bedspread That Looks Like a Throwback to the '70s
And the gargoyle he made in elementary school. And everything else that effs up the feng shui we so carefully created in our shared abode.
Discussion
I think its wrong to assume that no woman likes video games or technology. Cant a woman just be happy her man is around at all even if he's on his labtop. Women set themselves up for misery.
No one is assuming women don't like technology. I am the worst laptop offender of all. But if a guy is going to be in a room with me, he should be in the room with me and not be ignoring me. An no I am not going to lower my standards and say "well at least he's around." That's pretty degrading to both parties. Why even be in a relationship? If I wanted to be ignored, I wouldn't be married.
I want you all to know that when I told my husband I was writing this post, he immediately guessed the bulk of the list without any prompting. You see, men know when they're being annoying. hey just don't care! ;)
agreed on the world of Warcraft I get ditched so he can play, I hate that game
This is one of those topics that make me wish my gal was on here...it would be interesting to see what she says, although I'm pretty sure her first item would be anything having to do with an ex, even though nothing like that is out in the open in the room!
- His marijuana leaf poster
- Pictures of his ex-girlfriend that he still keeps in sight
- His weird-smelling cologne
- His collection of gratuitous hair products
- His jacket with the fur-lined hood
- His unintentionally cheesy music collection ("Maniac"? Really?)
- His Dummy's Guide to Romance book
