shoes and bags
i know us girls are supposed to love these things but i cannot imagine anything more boring than the process of shopping for bags (even that in itself is dull. ooh a brown one. ooh that one's pink. errr...yay?) then going home and checking they match your outfits and then having to take every little thing out of your bag to put in the new one several times a week because they don't match what you're wearing that day.

shoes - most women's shoes are designed to cause maximum pain in the feet, heels, ankles, thighs and often result in extremely tiny fairy steps because everything else is just too painful. if i ever wear heels its always a disaster - i need an entire reel of plasters or i'll bleed all over the place and freak people out.

consequently, i own a pair of DC skate shoes and one bag. that's it apart from all-purpose black "smart" shoes which i almost never wear. i can run with my shoes on for the train, and my bag is simple, goes with everything and doesn't sit gathering sweat under my armpit........................ and no i'm not a lesbian thank you :) xXx

EDIT: oh and also ketchup. i just don't understand

^^What they said!
Me too.. Just don't get any of it, from the horrible shiny shite handbags, right up to the putting something sweet, like jam, onto anything savoury.

You appear to be 'normal'.
May I swap you for my wife? I can't move for sodding footwear in our house...

I'm sure my wife could explain the handbag thing to you
But I'm fucked if I can.

If you do get a satisfactory explanation from her, however, could you please pass it on to my bank manager?

Thanks.

hell, yes
i have a small bag, a large "i can fit fucking everything in this thing" bag, 1 pair of boots and 3 pairs of identical black flat shoes. they fit, they're comfy, so why not buy 3 pairs and have done with it?

I don't get ketchup either...
I hate the stuff.

But, why oh why have 3 bottles of the gack turned up in my cupboard?

Shoes: I'm a bloke, so 1 pair of work boots, 1 pair of good shoes (worn twice), 2 pairs of trainers.

Bags: I'm a bloke - I have pockets.

My Husband Has More Shoes Than Me!
I agree wholeheartedly. I have a pair of black sketchers that are the comfiest thing on earth and I live in them. I like being able to walk at a fast pace and not put my spine out of alignment. Heels are evil and must be banned! I also only have 3 bags and two of them were presents and are only kept for going out.
