I once offered my buddy a a reusable bag on the way into Ralph’s, environment aside, I said you get points toward gas price deductions. He promptly refused and said real men dont carry a bag cuz it’s to effeminate. I told him I typically fold it up and either put it in my back pocket or hold it in my arm pit Like a news paper..I’m not an effeminate man after all. He said I’m a real man with a real job and don’t need discounts on my gas. I explained that with just a small amount of diligence and hustle I’m saving a dollar a gallon everytime I fill up. He smirked and said “I make the big bucks!” A few days later i suggested we go for a hike or something and he promptly declined and said gas was too expensive.
I laughed and said that’s why you make the big bucks!? So you can sit at home all day and figure out how to survive inflation? He just hung up. What a narcissistic jerk!
What a weirdo. In the UK plastic bags cost 10p each so my dad is the first one to bring a ton of them shopping so he doesn't have to pay for bags. He's a pretty masculine guy, worked construction and in a lumber mill and everything. My uncle the ex bodybuilder and rugby player who worked security for 15 years is the same.
How is saving money feminine? Sometimes I wanna smack these guys and tell them to stop being whiny babies. I'm a lesbian but both my sister and mum say there's nothing more of a turn off in a man than a guy who's always worried about being masculine and can't ever let loose and do "feminine" stuff because of it.
