I am super disappointed there’s no pattern. I would go for this.

It depends how intricate the piece is and how detailed you want it to be. Since he was clearly determined to make an exact duplication down to colors, it totally takes this long, and I’m sure it’s worth it just to see it come out exactly like he wanted.

Well, let’s see, he has a blanket that he clearly enjoyed working on and also a way to keep warm in winter. Seems pretty fun and useful to me. Of course, I’m one of those crocheters who makes “worthless” stuff all the time. Like cosplays.

I ended up just telling him to enjoy being an emotionally stunted fuck for the rest of his shitty life and hung up the phone on him. We have not talked since. Can't say I've lost any great conversations for that fact.

My forever grieving at the loss of regresty deepens on this day. April would have had a field day with this, and rightly so.

I was gonna say "are you sure you blocked him," but then I saw that you had, and now, I just want to buy you a stiff drink. He should not be getting through if you've locked him out. Something is iffy. (I semi-recently ended a friendship and unfriended said person and learned the hard way I had to block the person…

My ex did the same thing! When I started dating my now-husband, my ex flipped shit and wanted to know what was so “inferior” (his word) about him that my now-husband was a better choice. He loved me so much! He could only imagine being with me! Didn’t I see we were perfect together?

My now-husband’s ex took GREAT offense to the idea that he started dating me and accused me of stealing him from her (note: they were broken up before he and I started dating). When we got engaged, my now-husband made sure we changed our status on facebook from “in a relationship” to “engaged” because he was so…

We exist (5'3", 30H), but not for him.

Similar to Mom voice, definitely. It's got a hard edge on it and generally scares whoever it's aimed at. Part of its effectiveness is that I'm a generally upbeat, cheerful person, so people are surprised when the voice comes out because they just can't believe I had it in me to sound like that. Which is hilarious to…

Can we count the fact that my husband and I decided not to have one because a working car was more important and some people in my family STILL won't shut up about it almost seven years later? "But when are you having a honeymoon?" "Um...we have a weekly date night that's lovely." "But you need a honeymoon." "I don't…

He made the mistake of getting pissy one day and accusing me of being useless. I shut him down so hard he spent a week trying to buy me coffee to apologize. I refused.

In general, no, men don't get called on it. I have heard male co-workers swearing at clients in meetings, making sexist jokes, and constantly overrunning other people in meetings, and never getting taken to task for their tone or their behavior. I got murder-voice on a client ONCE (at the request of my supervisor, no…

He touched you without your permission. It does.

I have had people just assume my last name is my husband's. I had a supervisor actually come up short once because I corrected him when he referred to my husband using my last name. And the number of people who ask WHY when they find out. "Oh, you didn't take your husband's name?" "Nope." "Why not?" Because fuck you,…

Oh, god, I had a similar thing happen with a comic book related question, and even when the person recording answers REFUSED to change the answer, and it turned out to be RIGHT, the guy would not shut up about how no one ever listens to him and how I could have just as easily been wrong.

I totally feel you. It works the same with figuring out if you should push back on the behavior when it happens to you in the first place. I've got a male co-worker who made multiple jokes about how I was CLEARLY going to see 50 Shades of Gray, even though I had never mentioned it in any capacity (because I have zero…

My dad and I have a very similar relationship except the cussing doesn't bother him. But the fact I didn't want kids? That one got trotted out on the regular until I asked how often he bugged my brothers about whether they were going to have them.

No, but seriously, I have a friend who moved departments, and when she left, she sent out an extremely detailed "here's all the ways you unfuck the copier before calling support" email to our male coworkers (who were the only ones left in that department), and the first time it jammed, they fucking called her and…

In my case, it's a combination of things. A previous higher up was a demeaning shit who loved to try and get people fired, so I just had to put up with him because I was a contractor and had no job protection. I do sometimes point out that an action is sexist, but most of the time now, I just flat refuse to do the…
