Why doesn't she understand me?

Featured Replies

Yesterday the girl used my small pack of toilet tissues i keep on me when I am out and about. About 10 in a pack.

Today as she was going into Watsons I asked her to get me some replacement tissues.

She comes back with a single pack of 200 sheets.

I did demonstrate the impractical considerations of carrying a bag of 200 tissuest in my shoulder bag but her eyes had conveniently moved to capturing Pokemon on her phone.

If only I had a tissue to hand, I'd dab the tear gathering at the corner of my glass eye.  :coffee1:

You have a shoulder bag------well it shouldn't be to much of a problem, just buy a larger one, & pick a nicer colour this time.....I like that dark pink, with the pearly buttons down the side.........:coffee1:

 

Take out 10, put them in your shoulder bag (in a plastic bag, I am sure you can find one somewhere) and leave the other 190 at home.

She has saved herself 19 trips to Watsons.

She doesn't buy them for me as a rule
Just a circumstantial one off.

I should buy a bigger bag to fit the tissues? Simpler to to get a smaller bag of tissues.

Have u walked around a mall lately? Pretty much every guy has a bag of some type

If it makes you feel any better JJ; today the wife sent me off to get some corn flour and bread. How hard is that?

Of course, when I was at the shop I had a partial mental blank. 

I arrived home with some bread flour, cauliflower and a bunch of flowers.

Seems like your instructions weren't explicit enough…just a generic get me some tissues please….you assumed she'd be sharp enough to catch on that you'd be happy to get the same size as before….but they are not wired like that.

 

Eiter the supermarket didn't have the size or she thought she was doing you a favour.

 

 

Do what I do....But a couple of everything deemed necessary & scatter about so reserves are always available....She had a need & filled it....

 

Your whining will not be understood - they're not built that way.....

 

Eliminates the uncomfortable moments (which carry consequences) - and sensations.....

I noticed you said "the girl" not the Gf or your partner. Sounds like you have one foot out the door already lol

You are fairly spot on

I would never mistakenly buy flowers. Could start a trend of expectations

Do the hokey Pokey!

Grab her phone and take a picture of what you want her to get for you.  What's that they say about a picture being worth something?

The OP might consider getting the plastic bags himself.

Unless he's feeling adventurous and he sends the girl out again...........................:)

Thais are clever like that.

Many farang are just too stupid to realize what's actually happen. 

 

Thais are also humble enough not to explain how dumb you are, to help you save face.

Not on the way out...just how I was referring to her that day

Bc she doesn't care, mate. Most of em don't want to know anything new beyond what their parents or "P" taught them.

Dump her.

 

I'm with you Rob13, not because of the tissues because she sounds juvenile  playing with her phone and that idiotic Pokemon crap. 

 

btw JJ Green. Is this the same gal that pours sugar into her soup and you wonder why Thai women get fat?

 

Take your 200 tissues and cut your losses
