So glad he is her ex

reminds me of the narc who bought me tickets to one of my "favourite bands" as a Christmas present.

It was one of HIS favourite bands - I had never listened to them let alone mentioned them, ever.

Foomama48 · 2020-12-16T23:09:53+00:00

My ex would always say things like “I know xxx is your favorite” or “I know how much you love xxx” .....he was always not even close, then he would get this fake down on himself for getting it wrong, and I would feel bad for him. In fairness though I don’t even think he knew what his favorite anything was or what he liked, so why would he be bothered to know about me 🙄

Why do I feel like a pickme would say "At least he remembered you liked Laffy Taffy. He's trying!"

Zayelle · 2020-12-16T21:29:22+00:00

What an embarrassment.

BungalowBootieBitch · 2020-12-17T00:31:29+00:00

Even if banana was her favorite flavor, that's not an apology. She can buy candy. Hell she can buy herself 20lbs of candy.

KairosnPistis · 2020-12-17T00:01:45+00:00

Sends apology flowers. Spells your name wrong. Twice.

There are only four letters sir and two of them are the same! 🤡

These are not mistakes.

EclecticBarbarella · 2020-12-16T21:45:22+00:00

No ones favorite laffy taffy flavor is banana. What a psychopath, “I wAs LiStEnInG” and gets it completely wrong 🙄

ETA - I stand corrected , RIP my inbox 🍌😂

GlaeWitch · 2020-12-17T00:48:15+00:00

All I can think of is "close, but no banana." LOL

Reporter_Complex · 2020-12-17T02:21:33+00:00

Reminds me of my ex - never ever got me a present of any kind, was extremely violent, used to chuck a rage fit everyone people would celebrate something that wasn't about him directly - namely Christmas and my birthday-

When I left him, it was end of November, and he got me a Christmas present - it was a fuel pump for my car.

He trashed my car about a month earlier, in drug induced rage during a 5 day bender, and I scrapped it while he was passed out for days after.

I dont know how he didnt realise I scrapped my car 😂

melonmagellan · 2020-12-16T22:59:17+00:00

A swing and a miss.

SpringJonesOcean · 2020-12-16T23:51:44+00:00

I shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did at this.

smaller_ang · 2020-12-17T04:29:55+00:00

My ex thought it would be cute to ask me to send a link to my favorite song...While I was at work... a week after we had talked about it IN OUR TEXTS. I told him that was not worth ignoring my work over and he was irritated because he was trying to demonstrate value...by asking me to remind him of things he should've remembered (or could've just let go!).

aliengames666 · 2020-12-17T01:15:40+00:00

This sums up almost all men for me.

SleepyAqua · 2020-12-17T09:03:34+00:00

My ex wished me a happy birthday on February 8th, proudly boasting about how he didn't need to look it up in a calendar. My birthday is February 7th 🙃

potmakesyouparanoid · 2020-12-17T00:03:22+00:00

Dodged a bullet

Blackrose_ · 2020-12-17T02:31:22+00:00

Ahh yes, the ploy. I'll either make a mistake because I never paid attention and this gift will make up for lots of things; or the I can't wait till she calls me and tells me the correct laffy taffy flavour and I can gaslight her in to admitting she was wrong.

Ziploc bags, unless for sandwiches are all kinds of wrong.

BlackThummb · 2020-12-17T09:24:15+00:00

I had an ex who could remember all my favourite foods, and could order for me at a restaurant perfectly. But then he unironically bought me a heart shaped necklace as a makeup gift for forgetting my birthday, after I had repeatedly told him that I thought heart shaped jewelry was juvenile and tacky.

MsBarbiePhd · 2020-12-17T02:27:19+00:00

I scream laughed at this

mgkmaloo · 2020-12-17T03:24:56+00:00

I saw this on Instagram and thought of this group immediately! Haha

yfunk3 · 2020-12-17T03:28:27+00:00

Fake banana flavor is the worst... 😆

sacrallife · 2020-12-17T00:32:13+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Waste-Win · 2020-12-17T17:10:42+00:00

Don't missunderstand him, He was trying to prove her point.

Edit. Reading the comments I just remembered my ex, He loved to Cook especially for "me", and would always make it extra spicy (because he loved that) which I couldn't tolerate like AT ALL and then get mad because i dont appreciate His efforts to "please me".

freebritney93x · 2020-12-17T11:42:00+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣

masterofthebarkarts · 2020-12-17T15:25:14+00:00

Men are absolutely capable of listening the first time. It is not some inscrutable law of maleness that they can't hear what you're saying or pay attention to what matters to you. Sadly, most men are kind of terrible at this, so women get used to it and excuse it as "just the way it is". That's total bullshit of course, but until you meet a man who behaves differently it's easy to believe they just don't exist.

Lagaceta2020 · 2020-12-17T04:45:06+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰

Evening-Refuse-5278 · 2022-08-16T23:14:50+00:00

So I'm just here to say. You clearly didn't understand the joke lmao

HeroBrine0907 · 2022-08-23T13:49:07+00:00

Oh well, at least he tried.

me-a-troglodytam · 2020-12-17T06:56:05+00:00

I told this story before, I dated a guy for about two weeks and my birthday rolled around. Now, I hadn’t told him very much about my personal life for obvious reasons (could have been a rapist) but there were enough tiny clues that he could’ve picked up on to make a guess. Nope. It was a watch. Told him to fuck off and made sure to put him on social media as a sex-crazy idiot. Still wear the watch to remember that most men are trash.

Edit: Why am I being downvoted?

Diane9779 · 2020-12-17T16:13:10+00:00

Seems like a fairly minor issue, not remembering ones favorite taffy

So glad he is her ex
