Guys, Why did the salesman laugh?

[Gummy_Cluster]

My ex took me to the hardware store, and we just asked the guy if he would cut us four 6-foot sections of his softest, cotton rope. Why would you not buy soft rope, and what's wrong with short pieces of rope. Lots of people like short, soft pieces of rope. It comes in handy if you need it. (true story) He didn't actually laugh, but he did smile and giggle. I wanted to wait in the car, but my boyfriend made me come in. I hold a white belt in karate, and wanted to punch the salesman's lights out. (I used to have a black belt, but they demoted me)

A lot of home improvement projects require short, soft, small pieces of cotton rope. Like if the front door doesn't shut right, or if the fridge door won't stay closed.

Gummy gummy gummy. Rope? Come on. That's what Hermes scarves are for. Though these days I think that most of the young whippersnappers think that Hermes scarves are for getting shots for Insta.

But I digress.

The salesman laughed because you pay for each cut. You should have bought the one piece and made the cuts yourself as part of foreplay... I mean the home improvement projects.

True story:

I once bought panties for a girlfriend. I was 17. Quite the scandal. Anyway, I went to Victoria's Secret (back when it was tres ooo la la) and selected three delectable pairs.

Was being checked out while in the check out line. I admit I'm not God's gift to women in the looks department but that I had the Rocky Mountain oysters to be in Victoria's Secret buying panties made me very attractive to the women in that line.

Reached the associate to ring me up and she said "lovely choices". I said, "Thank you! They'll like them.". Record screech. All silent. "They?" "Of course!" I replied. I was using basic English that most skunks and all raccoons know but I decided to play along. She conspiratorially leaned closer. "How many?" "Three" I shared willingly. And paused. "And they know each other."

Could. Have. Heard. A. Pin. Drop.

Fucking brilliant. You played her like a Stradivarius violin.
Don't you think my buddy is a genius? ↗

He giggled because he probably assumed you wanted it for sex play and to be tied up. It was a bit rude and unprofessional on his part to laugh, but he didn't do anything to warrant having his lights punched out. The idea that you would think to do that, especially knowing that you have lethal skills, seems like a dishonor to the martial arts that you study, and the fundamental principle it teaches of self-control. Good thing you didn't do it, because that would have been an easy assault and battery charge, but not so good that you thought about it, in my opinion.

[Gummy_Cluster]

Jokes should be avoided on this site.

[loveslongnails]

Well, it IS difficult to tell sometimes. Perhaps throwing in a notation like (joking or jk) . I take the arts seriously as a former student, so admittedly, I get a bit bouncy over the subject! LOL

[Gummy_Cluster]

I would prefer to not go to jail over a guy giggling.

[loveslongnails]

That's good to know!

[spartan55]

So you wanted to "punch his lights out" for that? You sound like a delight.

[Gummy_Cluster]

It's called a joke, but I'm not sure that's allowed on here.

[spartan55]

Uhh... yeah jokes are allowed... guess I didn't get it.

[Gummy_Cluster]

I was very embarrassed, and his laughter didn't help.

[spartan55]

But you insisted it was for home improvement, right? Who cares what some moron thinks?

[Gummy_Cluster]

I didn't insist on anything. I never spoke a word. I wanted to wait in the car. But my boyfriend was good at pushing my boundaries, I've tried to explain that to guys on this site, but they don't get it. Women are trapped in a cage, and this site is a perfect example of that. She doesn't want to be locked in the cage, but only you have the key. It's up to you to unlock the door. Most guys can't figure out how keys work. I've given up trying to explain to guys that women are much more kinky than guys. It's just not worth the effort trying to explain it. You can keep your lady in her cage, or you can unlock the door. It's up to you.

[spartan55]

Wth are you talking about? So you are kinky, but get embarrassed over I still don't know what... you make no sense.

[Wise4myage]

I bet he was thinking naughty thoughts, hehe.
