When your "girlfriend" still has Hinge as her last name on your phone đź‘€

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Probably just saying "I'll change it later" every time it's noticed, probably

EDIT: Forgot to add a second probably. Wait, that's probably the third. Fuck.

What if that really is her last name lol?

[–] Nfamwap 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Man, if that's her real name, the spoonerism is just too much.

How else is he gonna tell her apart from Marissa Tinder?

[–] Psythik 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is "hinge" supposed to mean something?

[–] cybervseas 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hinge is a popular dating app. People (including me) will first add someone to their contacts list with the app you matched on as their last name.

Fascinating; never heard of it.

I gave up on dating sites a decade ago because they don't work. Only ever found love the natural way. Plenty of Fish even put me in their special club because apparently I'm more attractive than the average person. Still never got a single message in my inbox. No replies ever, either.

What's online dating like? What's it feel like to actually get a match? I'm married now so I'll never use them again.

If y'all get married and she takes your last name, would you say she became unhinged?

Damn, the automated "comment removed" notices are getting brutal.

I wanna know what was said next

"Sorry, I know we live together but I never paid enough attention to learn your name so I still have you as 'Marissa [Dating Site Where We Met]'. Who are you again?"

My wife is still "Annie Freckles" in my contacts, 11 years later

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Mine has been labeled "Lisa Work" forever. I updated her old work contact with a new number and that's become her profile ever since.

[–] Ziglin 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Am I the only one who has people's full names in my contacts? (I use tags or whatever my contacts app calls them to categorize them further)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Most of my contacts are first and last names.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

My contact in my fiancé's phone is still labeled "[Name]'s Brother" lmao, we first met at my brother's dnd game

"How come you taste so good?"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

... Because you're sweet ?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 months ago (1 children)

goes to thermostat and sets it to 425F

[–] stupidcasey 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

80, 425, 8675309, what’s the difference? None of them are habitable temperatures.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I dunno - 80°F might be good if you're an old nudist who's always cold.

[–] RestrictedAccount 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’m sorry, I so don’t get this

[–] GrabtharsHammer 68 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

When you bake something, like a loaf of banana bread, you have to heat up the oven to the target temperature before you put the loaf in the oven. This ensures proper cooking.

Humans generally do not need this. If the house is chilly, one can turn up the heat and put on a sweater or something while waiting for the house to warm up.

OP's screenshot points out that his girlfriend is expressing the needs of bread. How silly!

By Grabthar’s Hammer, that was a good breakdown!

~I just wanted to say By Grabthar’s Hammer~

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah is just not that funny. Got it

[–] RestrictedAccount 1 points 2 months ago

There has to be more than just that. Right?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Yes, Banana Bread.

[–] LovableSidekick 5 points 2 months ago

I agree with gf heat is one "luxury" worth paying for. Forget the bottled water, drink out of the tap, but heat the damn apartment.
