kind of boring.”

Only compared to some of the stuff on the site. You have to admit that it’s a lousy date.

The materialistic ending made a boring story even more boring. Someone who’s carrying sunglasses despite going to a dinner and house party, both presumably at night, deserves to end up losing them. It’s like going to a club wearing a big jacket, what else is going to happen to something you don’t need to wear?

Heather: I agree that this story is kind of boring, but what universe do you live in that you never need sunglasses to go to dinner? Where I live, it stays light until after 9:00 in the summer, so yeah, if I’m going out to dinner, I bring my sunglasses, at least for the walk or ride to the restaurant. I don’t think that means I deserve to lose my sunglasses. It means I’m using my sunglasses when it’s sunny.

Also, most clubs have coat checks. I don’t really go to clubs anymore, but if I did, you can bet I’d rather bring a coat and check it than be one of those girls who line up outside in sleeveless tops and miniskirts, knocking their knees together and freezing their asses off.

Garter Snake, didn’t you know that if you’re disappointed that you lost something that you like and have to replace it, you’re shallow and stupid and materialistic and deserve to be set aflame by hyenas? Jeez, when will you learn?

Also, I’m glad to know that those of us who with fucked up eyes who have to wear sunglasses until practically nightfall are also materialistic and deserve to have to continually replace our protection from the sun. (What? Hyperbole? I would never do such a thing!)

Haha!

yyyeah…I am highly sunlight sensitive as well. I think the whole “they’re obviously materialistic so they must deserve it” sentiment is bullshit. it’s very puerile, for someone to go about finding at least *one* thing to criticize per post, worse, it’s really obvious when that is the case because wishing someone to lose their sunglasses over *perceived* materialism is so fucking silly and childish and very last resort in the area of needlessly nitpicking. couldn’t it be that the sunglasses were prescription, and that’s why they’re expensive? why is she automatically materialistic? or maybe its that she is independent and paid for them herself, tends to take care of her shit and plain doesn’t wish to shell out for another pair…?

besides that, some of us just fucking like our sunglasses. when did it become such a fucking hassle for everyone if someone wears sunglasses right until sun set? how is that even slightly offensive or obtrusive? scratch that – why do people CHOOSE to be offended over some outdated social etiquette, that wearing sunglasses unless is bright as fuck is rude? I don’t subscribe to that one.

I wear my sunglasses at night.
I wear my sunglasses at night.
I wear my sunglasses at night.

And I do

I think the sunglasses thing was more of a “…and to add insult to injury…” sort of thing, not meant to carry much weight.

Yeah, this was a crap date, certainly one that’s more likely to happen to us (or maybe already has, in some variation). Don’t forget it’s “MY” worst date…one person’s worst may be another’s yawn-fest, but that’s the way it rolls.

Hey, it could have been worse. She could have later run into S’s ex-girlfriend who was wearing the expensive sunglasses, or, gone back to get them only to find them crushed to pieces in the bed where S. and the ex had been.

Just sayin’.

know what, if i was a guy i would totally date that girl. Sure she might be totally wacky, but she obviously has a sense of humour. I bet she watches Dr. Who as well… damned… got her number still?
