A day of putting furniture together


Saturday_19:05

You can never tell how good a relationship really is until you put together furniture.

A couple of days ago Jodi went to Ikea in Chicago with a couple friends to buy a bunch of stuff. They came up with just about everything you could think of and of course my woman brought the office furniture.

And it began

I was told to be ready by 9:30 so we could get an early start on putting everything together. For me, I was thinking this would maybe be a good 4 hours but when I found myself begging to get food at 3:30 she still held the whip and wouldn’t let me leave until it was all finished.

She might tell a different story however. Something like - “I told him he could go!” and in all fairness she did say that. Problem wasn’t that I was starving and needed nutrition but now I was starving, needed nutrition AND had just been given the worst option a man could ever be given.

You see - If you leave you get what you want but you know you have to deal with the woman’s evil eye that is really saying; “I’ll let you leave but if you do I promise to be a thorn in your side for leaving me here and not finishing this”.

Nobody wants to deal with that so I ended up having to stay.

Around 5:00 we finally finished everything up and it was now time for food. The woman helped make a great meal and I ate faster than I’ve ever eaten in my life.

MEN - if you’re out there remember this. If your woman (or any woman) asks you to do something with them and it deals with something you would rather not do - BRING A LUNCH.

AARON SCHAAP! I did not hold you under any circumstances - including starvation or a whip!

You were helping me because you said you would commit this past Saturday to helping me … I didn’t know it would take so long, and honestly it went by so fast I didn’t know we were missing so much food.

Besides all of that … we did great, and I DID END UP FEEDING YOU. So take your pitty and ego else where because this woman (“or any other woman”) did nothing wrong.

i must agree. When a girl says “you can if you want” it really means “if you _ i’ll take it personally, and you’ll spend far more effort repairing the damage you’ve caused, than you would have just doing ___”

;-)

equivocation is “woman’s” most feared tool. that and guns.
