"YH Qotd"

I bought two pairs of shoes - shoes mind you, not trainers - on saturday, in a single transaction. Spending a sizeable amount of money in the process.

Does this make me a girl?

I did get one card for my birthday that rasied a mild smile.

It said, "It's your 21st birthday and the drinks are on me!"

Inside was a teabag...

It made me smile.

I've given up buying people cards. I ring them instead. Takes less time and money.

Pink is gay.

Exactly. :P

My girlfriend says she's going to burn the thing if I ever wear it though, so...

I have; whenever the card in question was the perfect thickness to use as roach material.

I do take a little longer buying cards I think, but more because I actually read what it says inside, think "that's bloody awful" and find something that's either blank or funny. Actually, no, scrap funny, funny cards don't exist.

I reckon I'm going to start that hatecard thing. In fact I think I'll go try think of ideas, stupid WoW

The common cry I heard from my old sales rep collegues was "It's only a man who is confident of his sexuality that can wear a pink t-shirt / shirt"

"erm, methinks you protest too much, what did I say?"

Now girls *do* spend ages buying cards.

My shoes however, were purchased in the first shop I went into, which is the shop I planned to go into at the start. I tried on three pairs and bought two.

I was only in the shop 15 mins, and five of that was queuing up to pay for the damn things.

Pink t-shirts however? That is a different story....

*nods*
Like sis' birthday card, "I need some fags and air in my tyres. They sell cards at the garage don't they?"
Voila

My card buying motivation? (in the occurance that I HAVE to buy one, I really don't see the point in them to be honest, as Goaty says below)

"That'll do. Less than a quid too, class."

That's because you're a bloke.
We dont care about spending hours choosing "the perfect" card, because you'll read it and it'll sit on the side for a couple of days before being relegated to a box somewhere until you discover it a few years from then and bin it.

I've never been "Oh my god! That's the most perfect card! You've captured the very essence of me with a token purchased from a shop!!!!"
And neither have you.
