Bro’s thread

[Bbl87]

ETA: Personally, I would have asked someone in the store for a ladder, but that's something that's normal in my world. "Excuse me, mister. Can you reach that for me?"

That phrase is a normal part of any shopping trip for me. My wife even pimps me out sometimes without people having to ask.

This is one reason I would take my kids with me. They are both taller than me!

Haha, my mom is 5'3" so she did the same. My wife is 5'6" so not much more she can reach. I'm 6'5" so I'm a menace to that top shelf.

Where were you with the fucken balloon the other day??

 

[muddler35]

Bro question since we are talking about shopping. When you hold the door for a lady, which I’m sure we all do, and she doesn’t say thank you or smile at you, do you ever think about picking her up and setting her back outside?

Am I the only one?

Nah, just closing the door on her.

For real though, I don't really expect a thank you. For me it's something that I should be doing anyway, regardless of a thank you or not. Now, if I hold it for a fellow man I do expect a thank you or at least a nod.

Some may think that's chauvinist, I think it's just chivalrous.

How big is this lady?

This is my thought exactly. I do things for others because I want to and that doesn’t require thanks. If they ask me to do something for them and then don’t say thank you, that is a totally different matter

 

[TomTeacher19]

I hold the door open for people all the time. I like to think it might make their day better or easier and spreading some joy is cool. I don't mind if they don't say thanks. I do get annoyed when they won't just walk through because of some internal belief that doing so makes some kind of negative comment about themselves. Just keep walking.

You're the perfect height.
I'm not even 5' and the last guy I dated was 6'5". I love tall guys, except when they point out how dusty it is on top of the fridge.

As far as doors, even I will hold them open for older people or those with kids. Most times, if I'm walking through and someone is behind me, I'll keep it pushed open for others to grab. I just think of it as common courtesy. I have no expectations, except to make someone's day a little easier.

 

[AmberLGreen]

I like to hold doors open for you bro’s. That way I get to check out your asses as you walk through . That is thanks enough from you gorgeous pieces of meat

 

[Bbl87]

The people who make and sell clothing would disagree.

I can think of alternatives to clothing, my friend.

I love this approach to holding open doors for others who are behind you, but riddle me this, how far is too far to hold the door open. Have you ever had it where you are holding the door thinking that the person's going to come fast, and then they are super slow walker. You end up at the door for like 15 or 20 seconds, and it's just super awkward. I've run into that a few times, and it is just such a strange situation to be in.

Oh, believe me, when I get home I'm wearing the minimum. The whole reason I bought a house is to have somewhere I don't have to wear pants.

<remember the difference between UK pants and US pants. >

Carry on.

I was so excited for that when I got my place, except the bathroom is on the first floor, and when I walk out of it, I can see out of my massive living room window and it looks at a park that all the little kids play at.....
Every now and again I forget to close my blinds before hopping in the shower and there is this awkward dash that happens. If only my main floor was a little bit higher

Oh, I have a fun story about from the one trip I took to the UK. Have I never told that here?

 

[muddler35]

You ever get caught holding the door and then there is a goddamn human stampede? You’re just stuck there for like ten minutes?

 

[muddler35]

Please do.

I have, but I've also been in the opposite situation where I thought I've been a gentleman but the lady as soon her hand makes contact with the door has said "thank you" which paired with her facial expression might as well have been "fuck off" it's a fine line

 

[muddler35]

Unspoken bro rule that we all know. When there is a guy coming through the door behind you, you just kinda give the door a little push in their direction, give them the ol’ upnod, and get on with your day. It’s a long and well established tradition.

Is this like when you’re driving and you see someone you know, you kind of just raise two fingers up while you’re holding the steering wheel to say hey?

You're surprised she does?
