So it was the straw that broke the camel's back, then. He didn't just flip out over a tiny thing in isolation.

"So John, I hear you broke up with Mary?"

"aye Roger, things weren't great, but when she went and licked her knife after buttering her toast, I said "fcuk that"and bailed".

Listen here Widdershins, I'll be the arbiter on how shallow my friends are.

It was the final nail in the coffin of a brief but doomed relationship.
He's still a bit fcuked up from his x.

haha yeh but as you say, it was the final nail in the coffin! Like as in he already didnt like her, so he didnt dump her just because she licked a knife, which is what I was saying

From reading the thread, I realise I'm an absolute catch. My gypsy's-spell theory is starting to hold water...

An Irish girl, who had been living in London, I was seeing her for a while until she once replied to a text with the four letters: 'init'.
Game over.

First of all, what and where was she talking about? Secondly, do you have her number?

I remember kissing a girl after she had eaten cheese and onion tayto when I was a similar age, I could specifically tell it was Tayto she had that much left in her mouth and in her braces . She wasn't long getting the heave ho.

My colleague at the next desk finished a pack of C&O and immediately tapped me on the wrist to say something and when I turned, she leant straight over right into my face and whispered something at me.

Inside I was screaming FCUK OFF FCUK OFF FCUK OFF FCUK OFF FCUK OFF . What I was saying was 'oh right, fine, yes, that's interesting'.

If you're being serious I think you need to go out more and try to remember it's just a TV show.

No. You are wrong. Not liking classic simpsons is a dealbreaker.

Re the tight shoelaces, I completely agree with the original poster on that one. There's just something really cringey about it! And the big looped laces hanging down, no!

There's a scene in the Netflix show Love where the central couple are lying in bed chatting, Rupert Murdoch comes up in conversation and he says "Well, you know when you think about it, without Rupert Murdoch we wouldn't have The Simpsons" and she replies "I think I'd be fine with that", he's just silently horrified. I don't know if I've ever identified so strongly with a character.

That whole show is absolutely ridiculous. It's just totally inconceivable that a woman as hot as her would go anywhere near the male protagonist. It's no surprise he's an Executive Producer on the show! He makes Woody Allen look handsome ffs.

Personality matters just as much to some women.

Ok, so she's the face and he's the brains and personality, it's a symbiotic relationship

I was just trying to make the point that looks aren't everything no matter how 'hot' you are.

Oh I knew what you meant. Was just adding to your point.
She's punching above her weight in the show imo.

Knife licking definite deal breaker. It says so much about how someone was brought up. If it was pointed out to them and the person stopped, then maybe give them another go. If they did not care, then no way.

But... but.... am I just supposed to waste the delicious jam on the knife? Madness!

That's a very common theme in US TV dramas. The dumpy/plain/ugly/dopey bloke with the hot woman. Hell even in the Flintstones the guys Fred and Barney are munters and dumb with it, whereas the women are babes.

Ed O'Neill has been in two; Married with Children and Modern Family(though the latter is more believable cos he's loaded).

In Married With Children, afaik Peggy and Al met in highschool where Al was a popular jock type which i think Peggy would have genuinely liked.

He was always going on about those 4 touchdowns in one game. He got Peggy pregnant and broke his leg which prevented him from getting his college scholarship.

Really?? My life is so much better now that I know that.......

If I found out that they watched stuff like Keeping up with the Kardashians or First Dates or any of that garbage reality tv, including stuff like X Factor.

I don't think I could bear the thought of having to sit through that at somebody else's home, or even worse, in my own.

I was just saying that I didn't think their relationship was that unbelievable in response to Wibbs post.

Just don't watch it with them. They managed to watch it by themself before they met you.

This was my thought! I keep all those shows for my own viewing when he (I say it like I have a partner- he is hypothetical) is out or at work or is watching something himself on laptop or whatever else. I wouldn't want him sulking beside me while I watch it anyway!

TBH, now that I consider it, yeah that would actually put me off. I'm a pretentious git at the best of times, so I couldn't see how I could square that with a "Keeping up with the Kardashians" fan(can you even get that brain vomit here? I suppose you can see their big arses from space, but still).

For misquoting, or because they watched Chris Rock?

Ah cmon now, if you know the show we're talking about it's one helluva stretch to believe she'd go near Paul Rust!

Just scrape the remains of the jam back onto the rim of the jar.

That wont bother anyone at all, even if theres a bit of butter mixed in with it.
Problem solved
