Some people will complain about anything...

Ironically and sorry for the threadjack but I am divorced because my exwife cheated.

Has anyone else noticed that for those mattress comercials the couples normally have wedding bands? I always thought it was an interesting contrast to TV shows and movies these days where everyone's sleeping around.

[jackfaire]

I honestly have never noticed one way or the other. I think it's unimportant really. A ring for me is a personal thing it should mean something to everyone else can bloody hell bugger off.

when The Boy was married, he rarely wore his wedding ring while working (he's an enginemen in the navy) because of something called "degloving." not fun. quite painful.

Back when I worked at the green coffee shop, we had these silhouettes on our storefronts advertising something or other. People complained to corporate that one of the silhouettes of a couple sitting together on a park bench was offensive cause it looked like two men, so corporate had all the stores remove them. WTF.

I wonder if people are so worried about not being able to control their own lives, they feel the need to try to control other people's lives?

Look around you. The answer is a resounding yes. This happens a lot.

Wisconsin moved to Arizona's spot

Oh, HELL no!

Wonder if the complaint got up to management. They'd be pretty twittipated after spending all this money on the ad campaign

I don't wear rings either. Between the model-building, working on the MG, etc. and constantly getting my hands dirty, I'd end up ruining it.

One of these days I may actually get married. (Been engaged once.) If/when that happens, I am going to do my damndest to explain to my bride why I would rather wear my wedding ring around my neck than on my finger. To wit: I am not a jewelery guy, I don't wear jewelery, I have no piercings, and I am just not a ring guy. Hell, anyone who has NEVER seen me has seen ALL of my jewelery. I COULD wear a chain around my neck with a ring, certainly, but a ring on my finger? I just can't see it.

My friend's sister lost her wedding ring finger falling into the pole of an adjustable basketball hoop. Her ring caught on the pin in the pole and basically detached her finger. They had to cut the ring off, too.

Personally, I have no real desire for an engagement ring. (If I ever get to that point in a relationship, I'd rather get a puppy. Really.) I have a few rings that I rarely wear, mostly because I just don't think about it. I also have problems with my wrists/hands, and sometimes wearing a ring really bothers me. I would likely wear a wedding band, but I would probably take it off a lot.

I think the ring is unimportant honestly. What is important is knowing she is my wife.

I can see the proposal with the puppy though "Baby will you *puppy starts barking from his hiding place girl gasps and says yes over and over*

Second, since when are married women required by law to wear a ring so we can confirm their status?

We had a prosecutor who went through the worst bloating/swelling during her pregnancy. She was miserable most of the time. Her fingers became so swollen that she had to remove all her rings.

She had a really big, important jury trial happen during her seventh month. She went out an bought a cheap, gold-colored wedding band to wear during the trial just because she knew there would be at least one juror who would focus on whether she was married and decide not to listen to her if she appeared not to be. That easily could have jeopardized her whole case.

Sure enough, we saw three jurors scope out her finger.

[ditchdj]

Well what does her personal life have to do with the trial???

[Jester]

I can see the proposal with the puppy though

"With this Beagle, I thee wed."

Well what does her personal life have to do with the trial???

Nothing. Not a damn thing.

But juries are made up of people. And people, as we know by now, are stupid, judgmental, capricious, sanctimonious, self-righteous, and hypocritical.

I would have just told the fruitcake that her fingers got too swollen to wear the ring.

I can't believe I share oxygen with some of these freaks. I have way too much to think about to even notice something like this much less take time out of my day to make a complaint. Seriously.
