Title: Why are women so goddamn dumb?
Post by: WrikaWrek on July 06, 2011, 11:32:01 AM: Come on man. So i had this interview to work in a games magazine, told myself "hey, maybe you could use some sort of inside look". Not that I want to be a journalist any more, but still.

So i had the address in my mind, but the area is a bit confusing once you get there. So I decided to call my GF, thought to myself "It's Google Maps, can't be too hard". Half an hour later i was still trying to get there....she sent me the opposite way. Missed the interview, came home to find out how simple it actually was...it was so simple, just 200 meters straight ahead from where i was when i called.

How do you cope with shit like this? OFFENSIVE

you're not coming out of this sounding too bright either, wrika my man

Basically all I needed was one more intersection. But I wasn't sure so I called. In reality, it's all my fault of course, but that's not the point of this thread!

Only found out where it was when I arrived home. Will go there tomorrow.

They saw my picture, bunch of snowballers

i prepare this stuff -myself- and -in advance- , i also leave for important events early.

Then again - my wife would be unlikely to fuck something like this up (even though she is half portuguese)

I had 15 minutes to make those 200 meters. It was easy.

Post by: lennedsay on July 07, 2011, 12:25:20 AM: She's probably somewhere posting on some girly forum with the thread title "Why are men so goddamn cheap?!"

"I mean, he wants Google Maps but he won't buy a smartphone! >:("

I wish I had a better answer, but I'm the only one in my whole family that can read a fucking map. Maybe it's the Jessica Simpson, "I'm cute because I'm fucking dumb and act like I don't know if tuna is really chicken because it's in the brand name." Spoiler alert: Her stupid ass got fucking dumped for that shit.

Post by: Bocsius on July 07, 2011, 01:06:01 AM: The joke ripped from something I heard on NPR:

God and Adam were walking through the Garden of Eden just after God had taken Adam's rib and created woman. Adam said "God, thank you for Eve, but I have to ask, why did you make her so beautiful?" God replied, "So you would love her, my son." And then Adam asked, "OK, but why did you also make her so stupid?" God said, "so she would love you, my son."

:maf

Unless it's near a supermarket nobody knows shit these days. And I did ask one guy. He said he thought it was *something*, and I went where he said. It had nothing to do with where the place actually was, and when I got there it was a gipsy mechanic shop. Come the fuck on man

Title: Re: Why are women so goddamn dumb?
Post by: WrikaWrek on July 07, 2011, 04:52:53 PM: There was no fuckin.

Because later she was all interested in seeing the map with me. I had told her about how she sent me the wrong way.

Now, I didn't care and didn't make a fuss with her, but she gets really interested in it and so we go and take a look at it. And out of nowhere she tells me "Hell, I told you the directions really well". Game over.

It was incredible, she tried her best to set it in stone that it was my fault that I couldn't give her clearer notion of where I was. Apparently, between naming buildings, round abouts, where the sea was, the avenue I was in, the direction I was taking, and just actually describing how they look on a map...just didn't quite do it.

You didn't just give her a cross street? Sorry dude but this is entirely your fault regardless; it was never her responsibility to get you there. If you let this become an argument, you failed twice.

Double mmhmm

Post by: chronovore on July 08, 2011, 09:27:40 AM: Triple Mmmhmmm.

Dude, srsly, wtf? You had about a bajillion tools at your disposal to figure out where you were going before you left. You went out unprepared, then wanted your GF to walk you through it over the phone, and now you want to blame her for not getting to where you wanted to go? She sent you the wrong way, maybe, but what are you expecting from someone giving directions over the phone? Take some responsibility for your own part, the larger portion of this failure.

When I didnt have a job I even visited the place where I had to go before the interview, just not to fuck up.
Title: Re: Why are women so goddamn dumb?
Post by: chronovore on July 08, 2011, 01:13:57 PM: Yeah, I did that for jobs, and even earlier in college; just make sure you know where you should be before you have to be there.
Title: Re: Why are women so goddamn dumb?
Post by: WrikaWrek on July 08, 2011, 06:14:04 PM: Jesus, some of the White knights in here.

Yeah it's my responsibility. That's the obvious part. But I would hope that you could at least count on some help in times when you need it, at least from those you think you can trust, at least with simple shit. If some people here don't even expect that from their companions, then what the fuck do you expect from them? Just company? Let me laugh a bit.

Regarding the wanting the job or not, absolutely right. Of course I wouldn't scout the location before hand, because I think that's just weird, and it's one of the big problems with people that go on job interviews these days, they kinda want it too much in a creepy way. Be relaxed.

Anyway, they asked me to go there the day after, I went there and met the place and how they did things, etc. Well now I understand why being a game journalist must suck, because the environment was just a shitty environment to be in.
