Didn't communicate her needs? What more communication do you need beyond "get fancy dinner plates"? How do you fuck that up? If you're unsure, communicate your need for further information, or google fancy dinner plates.
Seriously and if you fuck up buying dinner plates then it isnt the first thing they fucked up and was prolly the gf's "this is the last straw" request and she really figured this was so stupid simple that she thought theres no way they could fuck it up.
No, they're children's dinner plates. That's about as far from fancy as you can get. Made from sturdy plastic instead of ceramic or what have you so they don't break when an unruly child throws it on the floor to spite their broccoli.
You've picked out the single definition that fits your narrative, and many many things will fit the definition "not plain". I also see that in the definition that you linked right after it says not plain it says "ornamental." And while I'm sure there are some people who might use children's bee plates as an ornament, I can't imagine that there is very many.
But beyond all that fancy also means elaborate, which they're not. Along with ornamental, impressive, of particular excellence, decorative, expensive, and high quality. Which these plates are not.
Then again I find it weird to give someone money and then say "Buy some plates" without any further details or supervision. Of course anon could have, yknow, asked if the plates are okay before ordering
You reflect on the weird nature of your dreams as you have them? I just go with the flow, accepting things as real, even though in reality they make no sense. Which then raises the question: how do I know I am not dreaming? Sure, things appear to make sense here, as opposed to dream nonsense. But if dreams don't seem weird in context, how do I know there isn't a level above, where what we take as logical makes no sense?
What if you only feel that way because you're experiencing it? Like, maybe you'll wake up at some point, and just be like "wtf. You walk into a tiny room. The door closes by itself, sideways, sci-fi style. When it opens again, the exterior, the room you just came from, just… changed. Completely different"
Are you kidding me?! There isn't a single person I know who wouldn't at least appreciate those plates enough to chuckle! Those are awesome plates, I'd use those plates even for formal events, the only people who'd be upset by them are stuck-up assholes!
and teenagers insisting they're no longer kids. (same fight as "kids table" stuff. To be honest, when I became an adult, the kids table was always more fun anyhow. Dinosaurs are way more interesting topics of conversation than adult-stuff.)
100% same. I'm the built-in babysitter for family events. Why would I want to hear my aunt ask for the 500th time why I'm not married, when my nephews and nieces are playing out a story where Bluey and Sonic the Hedgehog team up to fight crime? Screw boring grown-up talk, I want the imaginative adventure.
I 100% believe the moment we try to pretend we aren't children anymore is the moment we deny a huge chunk of what makes us human.
Not to mention a HUGE mistake logistically speaking, because it also means that we wouldn't be working with the actual data. We don't lose who we've been, it constantly gets incorporated into who we're becoming. Those kids we used to be are still there, alive and well (and probably sobbing in a corner for a friggin' crumb of honest, carefree enjoyment of, like, anything!) and all we do is to try to bury them deeper and deeper, until we can't hear those sobs anymore. But those sobs just get worse, until they... stop. After a loong, long time, they stop - killed where nobody else could hear it.
And if all of that sounds insane, it's because it is. That's my point.
Not drag's inner child. Drag's inner child is so wild and free that other adults have to pick up the slack of repressing drag. It doesn't work. No matter how many times they say dragons don't exist, drag still gets to go home and play with a dragon.
Drag recently had a family gathering and spent a lot of time debating biblical theology with drag's adult relatives. Drag's baby cousin assured us that we're all extremely boring.
All drag can say in response to that is that the Torah says Elohim can take away a promise if it's used as an excuse to sin, so Israel has no right to exist.
I sorta' agree with you in that wasted plastic is bad, yes. However, I simply have to disagree with plastic plates in general being a bad thing.
I've owned a full set of composite plates for, I'm not kidding or exaggerating, 20 years now. Mum bought them while I was mid-way through high-school and they proved to be so much better than the old porcelain, that she steadily replaced our tableware with composite. And I liked them so much, that I stole that set from mum once I finished Uni!
And it wasn't just those plates, everything lasted! The only things ruined were the plates granddad used with the microwave oven, he managed to overcook and crack them apart (he was a moron, though).
Granted, microplastic ingestion risks do, indeed, exist with these (eg. if one likes using the knife to its fullest potential), although a bit of temperance goes a long way. That 20-year-old set I have barely has any scratches on it, and that's with dropping them pretty regularly while doing the dishes.
Plastic is the enemy. Not just single use plastics. But all unnecessary plastics. The micro plastics disrupt food chains. They also get into food. It's not great. They get everywhere with no chance to decay.
Sure, microplastics are certainly an issue, but the vast majority of them come from other sources, like clothes and tires. Things like multi-use plastic plates don't even register on the list of sources.
Did your girlfriend come to her senses, and realize how great those plates are?
Obv its because he chose the plates and not the girlfriend
Can it bee?
Dear god it them
The myth, the legend, the plate
Make a terrible person leave you alone in this one easy step
She didn't communicate her needs well enough.
Honestly, the Bee plates showing up is more her fault than his.
Lack of communication is one thing, losing your shit like this because of it is another. ...but that's two things now, so...
Didn't communicate her needs? What more communication do you need beyond "get fancy dinner plates"? How do you fuck that up? If you're unsure, communicate your need for further information, or google fancy dinner plates.

These are fancy. and they're dinner plates.
They may not be "formal", but they're definitely fancy.
No, they're children's dinner plates. That's about as far from fancy as you can get. Made from sturdy plastic instead of ceramic or what have you so they don't break when an unruly child throws it on the floor to spite their broccoli.
found the girlfriend
Plain children’s dinner plate:
Context is always important. Again, she meant “formal”,
Should he have known better? Sure. But she should have known him better too
In no context are the bee plates any kind of fancy.
Disagree. Bee plates are fancier than plain kid plates.
You've picked out the single definition that fits your narrative, and many many things will fit the definition "not plain". I also see that in the definition that you linked right after it says not plain it says "ornamental." And while I'm sure there are some people who might use children's bee plates as an ornament, I can't imagine that there is very many.
But beyond all that fancy also means elaborate, which they're not. Along with ornamental, impressive, of particular excellence, decorative, expensive, and high quality. Which these plates are not.
No way
No way any of this happened.
Dang, sounds like those plates are perfectly age appropriate for your gf
If you are somewhat tight for cash or shopping for another person some conflict stemming from this is completely reasonable.
Then again I find it weird to give someone money and then say "Buy some plates" without any further details or supervision. Of course anon could have, yknow, asked if the plates are okay before ordering
A greentext story is like a dream. You're following the narrative, while simultaneously thinking that this makes no sense and how did things get here.
You reflect on the weird nature of your dreams as you have them? I just go with the flow, accepting things as real, even though in reality they make no sense. Which then raises the question: how do I know I am not dreaming? Sure, things appear to make sense here, as opposed to dream nonsense.

Drag can tell drag isn't dreaming because drag knows drag's dreams don't make sense when drag has them.
What if you only feel that way because you're experiencing it? Like, maybe you'll wake up at some point, and just be like "wtf. You walk into a tiny room.

"buy fancy dinner plates" is enough details
I mean, depending on context, these qualify.
Hmm, is the correct context a bee furry convention?
anon succeeded and girlfriend was mad that she didn't think of getting the bee plates
Are you kidding me?! There isn't a single person I know who wouldn't at least appreciate those plates enough to chuckle! Those are awesome plates, I'd use those plates even for formal events, the only people who'd be upset by them are stuck-up assholes!

Meh. Plastic plates suck for other reasons... More and more plastic waste sucks

Eh, plastic plates:
Plastic isn't the enemy, single use plastics are.

Wow that's really judgemental, maybe accept that other people don't share your taste?
Hmmm... no:-?
(in all seriousness, it was a hyperbole, we're in the greentext community:)) )
I like how it has an attached dipping plate. Not doubt for ketchup to dip dinosaurs nuts in
those are to give the kid different types of food in correct quantities
source : am dad, even have the cutlery that fits this set.
Dinosaur... nuts? Never heard of 'em
Come over to my place sometime.
I'm dyin' to soar these nuts across your face
(I think that works, right? Barely?)
Pretty sure thats just a matching bowl next to it.
Dino Nuggies are for kids, adults eat tendies.
Break up with gf and marry the plates
Woah, we‘re not on r/relationshipadvice here!
Clearly. If we were he'd be advised to hit facebook, delete the lawyer, and hire a gym too
Its true that statement is on par for that type of sub.
Stop beeeeeeing such a bitch!
I bet that stung ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Honey, please.
Buzz off.
I'm breaking out in hives...
Fake: anon has gf
Gay: anon buys colourful kitchenware and posts about it online in order to start a discussion
They're adorable, though. That part is true.
babyplates.jpg
Task failed successfully
Can confirm, these are awesome plates. They were my daughter’s favorites.
Idk what his gf is on about. These slap and anon is clearly a distinguished gentleman.
Stealing that
Could've been interpreted as he wants kids but anyway.
Fake (anon has gf) and gay (said fake gf hates the plates)
They're so cute.
1: 2015
2: is this a repost from Reddit?
who are you even talking to?
the OP from 2015 I'm assuming. Who knows maybe Amazon will let him return them?
Or may Jeff Bezos will personally laugh in his face and have a wedding at his house. Hard to say.
Jeff Bezos having a wedding in random peroples' houses is a running joke I will make for the rest of my life just letting you know.
God I wish Jeff Bezos would have a wedding in my house. I'd hide in the ceiling and drop bear him with a steak knife.
Probably me, who's about to order these plates and keep them forever.
the oop lol
I dont think they will accept his gf as a return though
Why would he return the Bee plates? They are perfect for his special needs.
My partner would never do this, because she knows I would buy goatse plates.
Lol
She's just pissed about the microplastics.
People on the internet 100% believe these stories and will fight you over it.
anon should get sucked off for getting those awesome fucking plates
