Re: Sandwiches for a ring

  • I think she's a writer, and it's a sorta cute, sorta pot-stirring "theme" for a blog. All publicity is good publicity in the blogosphere, right?

  • I would have left if I were in that situation, but that's just me.

  • I can't even read the whole thing because this girl is infuriating. If anyone ever said that to me, I would lose my shit on them. Seriously.
  • I'm interested to see the reactions to this...

  • Both.  She got her name out there and is getting all this publicity. So, good for her.  Her boyfriend is an asshat and she's an idiot for putting up with it.  If you wanna make your man a sandwich every morning because you know he likes it, great.  But he shouldn't be demanding it or guilting her into it. If you want a sandwich so bad, make it your damn self!

    PHAHAHA!! If I'd been drinking my water when I read this, it'd be ALL OVER my computer right now. 

    For the rest of the article, yeah I was sitting there with my mouth hanging wide open. WTF?! It takes me 15 minutes just to get my coffee consumption started in the morning, and don't even ask me to do anything before that!

  • I feel bad for the poor guy... Just based on what I read, it sounds like he made an outrageous declaration just to show appreciation for a dumb sandwich and his girl took it seriously. It sounds marginally entertaining, but not enough to make me read the blog!

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
