rant

[slightlyhuman]

Where to begin, I might not be near as pissed off if I would have known this two fvcking weeks ago. My gf's prom is this weekend, I've been out of highschool so I don't want to go to begin with but I go for her. Ok so two weeks ago we go pick out my tux, my mom said if I keep it under $100 she will pay for it and I told her if I go over I will pay the difference. Ok So I spend $139 on a suit. Ok, gf tells me I'm paying for dinner. I'm like whoa whoa whoa, who's prom is this? Did you pay for a mother fvcking thing for the dances you went to with me? I think when I went to the last dance with you(sadie hawkins) where the GIRLS TREAT THE GUYS, I still ended up paying for dinner. I'm by no means a cheap skate but I'm thinking a fvcking double standard is getting pulled on me?

So fast forward to today, my mom calls my dad at work and tells him I need to go pick up my suit and pay for it today. I'm like what? I'm paying for it now? Ok fine but you could have FVCKING TOLD ME BEFORE I PAID 300.00 DOLLARS ON MY CREDIT CARD SO I WOULD HAVE THE MONEY.

Ok well now I'm paying for dinner and the suit for a prom that we won't be there LONGER THAN 45 DAMN MINUTES...

Ok after mom called and told me about the suit she calls back and says she forgot to tell me about the $50 piece of sh1t plant that's going around her arm that will DIE OVER NIGHT.

By this time I'm pretty pissed and ready to smash a glass shop with my puma's I have on today. So I call the gf and ask why the fvck did she not tell me about the flower thingy(forgot what they're called). She didn't have a reason, just "your mom acted like she was paying for it." So I ask her if I need to call my mom and bitch her out for buying a plant for $50 and not telling me about it but yet I'm the one footing the fvcking bill.

Well she tells me I'm guy and all that bullshit and should pay for it. I'm like whoa, hold teh fvck up missy, this isn't 1967. You don't ever pay for sh1t, which is fine but when you try to tell me I should pay for something because I'm the guy? THAT'S SOME FRESH BULLSH1T.

I physically don't have the money to pay for a $50 flower that someone grew out of their fvcking backyard, dinner and the suit plus I'm sure you'll want to do something afterwards.. All my bills come in the same time of the month and guess what IT WAS THIS FVCKING WEEK!!!!!!!

I don't expect to a girl to pay for everything, not even half but the fact that she never pays for anything and the fact that I paid for my prom, homecoming, all that bullsh1t but I'm supposed to pay for her prom when SHE IS TAKING me?

Call me unsensitive, I'll try not to cry about it. For all I care you can take one of your pot smoking friends. I work hard for my money but yet 2 days before YOUR prom I get hit up with a $50 flower that neither MY GF or mom told me about? Someone is getting tore into like a hobo does a baloney sandwich.

well, put it this way, this weekend is going to the best piece of ass I have ever received in my life to compensate or someone is going to be sweeping their feelings up in with a broom.


I'm going home now so I won't reply for 30 minutes, hopefully some tunse on my psp can calm me down. I might be overreacting but I can't stand not being told sh1t until the day it happens.



cliff notes:

prom sucks ass

this is the first revision so there are typos and sh1t probably doesn't make sense.

 

[SynthDude2001]

Have a :beer: and relax.

 

[sixone]

Dude, you need to relax. Seriously, you are headed for a heart attack.

 

[Gravity]

This too shall pass. Try to stay in the moment and make the memory as positive as possible. It might suck now but think if looking back after 25 years....have something happy to look back too.

 

[chuckywang]

It's called a corsage.

 

[destined]

prom is fun. i regret missing mine. just get really drunk.

 

[Sluggo]

You know she is going to end up puking in the toilet, and you wont be getting any coochie all weekend.


EDIT:

She will also puke on your tux as you are holding her hair, and you will have quite the hefty cleaning bill for that too.

 

[DrPizza]

I pray to God that your gf knows you post on ATOT and that she reads that.

You, of course, realize (I hope) that you deserve to be flamed for that rant. I don't know where to begin.

Should I start with the fact that you wanted mommy to pay for your tux rental in the first place?
That your mommy apparently was taking care of the details that you should have been taking care of yourself?
Now... you're out of high school. Did you graduate? Or did you drop out?

Sorry, I just find your situation quite laughable! Why did your mother order the corsage or whatever it's called? Why didn't you do it? If you graduated from high school, you should be smart enough and responsible enough to have handled this on your own.

FWIW, I went to a prom with my gf the year after I graduated. I: paid for dinner, paid for the corsage, paid for the tux, made the dinner reservations, etc. GF's mom paid for the pictures. She's still in high school... you should be paying for it all since you're out of school.

 

[OulOat]

Wow, what an ungrateful mofo to your parents. With your stingy attitude, your parents better demand you pay them back every penny they spent on raising you plus interest. If your parents offer to pay for anything, you thank them for it. If they later tell you they can't, just be glad they didn't change their minds in the hospital and aborted your ungrateful ass.

The only part I agree with you is your crazy gf. Stick it to her.

 

[RedCOMET]

its her prom, she should pay for the cost of the actuall thing, tickets/dinner....whatever. Whats left for you to do is pay for your tux, and how you two get there is you problem.


a Corsage just loooks good when you do formal wear.

Lack of communication of all parties invovled just sucks. I know how that can be.

But like i said, She should pay for the prom, its her one last special night.

If you feel like you are getting the short end of the stick, you can always not go. Or you can just dicth her b/c somebody doing this type of garbage isn't worth your time. Sit down and talk to this girl.

 

[Conky]

I recommend giving her the "donkey punch".

:beer:

 

[Drakkon]

LMAO if you react this badly to a FLOWER i can only imagine what will happen if you EVER get to the ring

She's still in high school... you should be paying for it all since you're out of school.

QFT....if you don't got the money go pawn some crap...thats what real men do...not let their mommy's pay for it...

 

[Phoenix86]

Gotta love "being equal" huh? Women fought for equal treatment, they should get it...

You're going to have to pay anyways though, because nothing's "equal". It's her prom, if you cared much about her, make it nice... You know, for her...

Quit being selfish. :beer:

I hope his gf reads it too, that way she knows how unreasonable to be. he shouldn't pay for it just becuase he is out of high school. If money was an issue, or could have remotely been an issue than they should have talked about the cost before hand, instead of saying yes.

I went to prom twic, Both times the girls were older than, but when i was invited to this one girls prom, she paid for the prom tixs, she took care of how we got their and back. I got myself a tux, and a corsage for her. I can't recall if we went in on some of the prom pics.

When i went to my prom, i invited an older girl. I took care of transportation, tickets and photos. all she had to worry about was her dress, and what ever else.

I don't think its too unreasonable to ask for your parents for finically help with this.

ok, i'll type a bit more. Prom is fun if you know more than one person there. If you're just the "date", i predict it will suck ass. If it's you, her, her friends, and their dates, it will still suck ass.

In any case, the costs should have been 50/50 at worst.

yeah being the "date" can suck. Certian cost should have been split, but not all of them. Obviously if the OP and gf were both in High school they should have split the cost of the prom/dinner, but i don't think that being out of HS, he should be obligated to split that cost.


BTW: keep you man card, and display it proud.

 

[Koing]

If she is so insensitive about asking to pay for stuff and you can't handle it (you don't have to!) dump her stupid ass.

I could never stay with such a girl like that. Wtf?! Fvcking ask or at least pay something.

Will knock the bottom out of her? What else makes her redeemable?

[Yossarian]

[suse920]

um, i never ASKED my mom to pay for shit. i pay for everything fvcking thing i own. the ONLY thing i don't pay for is rent. your going by like i asked her to pay for it. the whole reason i am pissed is because i wasn't informed that i was paying for something until the two fvcking days before it happens.

have you ever stopped and thought not everyone has the same fvcking opinion as you? just because you did that sh1t doesn't mean everyone should. i don't care if she's in high school. since you like to assume to much, i'm in college, work full time, pay for everything i own(car payment, phone, insurance, etc)

can i have a cookie now or will you just stfu?

 

[Sex Smurf]

Is this the same girl you took to your prom, homecoming, etc?

 

[Sheepathon]

1. put interesting things in her mouth
2. take pictures and post them on atot
3. dump the gold digger
4. ...
5. profit!

she's not a gold digger, she's actually a very caring person. i just get HIGHLY PISSED when i don't get told things and it comes to my attention right before it happens, how am i in the wrong for doing that?

she doesn't know what it's like to be out on her own, she is still a spoiled little brat. she has a little growing up to do and realize everything doesn't go her way. i didn't cuss her out, didn't call her a bitch, i just posted it on the forums to get it out.

DISCLAIMER: i don't give a rats ass if you paid for everything in your prom, etc. that's what you did, who is to say it's what everyone should do?

btw. when i said i don't have the money, i don't have the EXTRA money to spend. i exaggerated a little but we all say we don't have the money but in reality we have enough to get by, just not enough to blow on petty things.
