Oops, reading comprehension fail. Go back and read it again.
1. Your comment: Women have a cupboard full of shoes, for example – how many blokes here have as many pairs of footwear as their wives do, hmmm?
2. My comment: My partner does.
If you read the two together, one would assume that comment 2 relates directly to comment one.
So – My partner has as many pairs of footwear as my (technically I am not his wife, but we have been living together under the same roof for more than 6 months and I am a female)

Not 100% sure what you’re trying to say there, but make sure you use a condom, just to be on the safe side.

Yet another completely irrelevant comment aimed to create a reaction. So my reaction to that comment is: I hope you and your Mrs take your own advice because I hate seeing stupid people procreate.

How are things going for you there, back in 1953, when a multiple shopping trip was what all women desired?

While I admire your faith in humanity, I wonder if you have the figures on the sex of people attempting to return non-faulty goods to, say, David Jones?

Anything less than 90/10 would astound me.

It just isn’t a male thing to enter into a contract and then somehow imagine you can renegotiate its terms.

My Mrs had this thing going on with David Jones involving a watch. It went on for years. She originally bought it (for under $100) at a sale, then decided she didn’t like the colour, somehow managed to return it for a watch that was on sale for several 100$, returned it again on account of some fault or other, complained to DJs management about the service she received in having the fault attended to, and eventually had her original watch replaced by something worth well over $1000.

This is one reason I won’t shop at places like David Jones – I know there’s an extra $$$margin on everything to cover the irrational female timewasting factor. Plus everything they sell is second-hand because it’s effectively out on approval all the time to the irrational females.

You are a strange angry little man.

God I love this site. You start with a crappy kids’ party, and you end with a discussion of gender. So much fun. It just bounces, really, like…something that bounces.

Like… boobies?

Yes. I like boobies.

It does make me think if the original post was written slightly different if the support would have been different.

In English and stuff, yeah.

Isn’t it funny the path a thread here can take?! We have had comments about spelling and grammar, jacking of horses and the feminisim movement. All starting from a complaint about a jumping castle.

Fickle bunch we are.

Men and women are exactly the same.

You have deeply hurt my sense of femininity… I will go out immediately and buy 10 pairs of shoes, return 5 within the week and then buy some random appliance that I haven’t researched and don’t need.

Exactly! It’s so hard to tell the buggers apart otherwise! I know when I back to someone’s place from the pub, the first thing I do is check out their shoe collection.
If it is the same as mine, I grab a beer and sit on the couch and watch footy with them. If they have heaps more shoes, I might think about hitting on them! It’s a foolproof method! Hahahaha!

Seriously though, your in-depth observation above could go in a first-year biology text! Hahaha! Too funny!

Why don’t you offer your services to the multi-billion-dollar advertising industry? It seems you are privy to some secret knowledge which their army of highly-paid consultants have apparently missed.

He’s very perceptive, a visionary indeed, he’s forever seeing things written here which no one else can, and quoting them.

Bahaha! That’s gold. And very true.

You know, this is where political correctness leads people into false belief – the post-modern amongst us describe an alternate reality which conforms to their ideology. They then attempt to indoctrinate that fantasy into the less clued-up among us, asserting that their ideology describes reality. Which, of course, it doesn’t.

That’s a polite term for it, others may not be so kind in their description.

I take it you’ve never worked in the Construction Industry?

That’s what you call it: “Sexual differentiation”?

That’s what happens when you place excessive emphasis on emotion over reason, I guess.

“Ha ha, woman are really irrational and like to shop and are always crying and having babies. Men like sport and cars and being tough.”

No one has claimed tht, did I miss a quote from someone?

First – The reason why women are most likely to take back a faulty product is, that even though its not 1950 there are alot of women who are at home with kids in their early years, and are usually the ones doing errands during the day while husbands/partners are working. There are plenty of men who do as your wife does.

Secondly, just becasue your wife can’t make up her mind, and just has to continue to rip off a shop that doesn’t mean we all do it.

Just like you being a jerk should’nt mean that people assume other men are jerks too.
