Cute idiosycracy or sign of mental illness?

[Liberal Veteran]

My boyfriend broke our vacuum cleaner so I went out yesterday and bought him a nice new one (reg price $299, clearance for $156) and he positively preened over it when I presented it to him.

Is it just cute or a sign of mental illness?

1. Definite sign of a prolonged, undiagnosed raging psychosis.

Have him committed immediately.

2. I'd gladly marry someone who preens over a vacuum

I hate vacuuming. Who cares if he's mentally ill if he uses his illnes to focus on constructive things.

I have a very good friend who is obsessive compulsive. He has learned to channel his illness to his benefit and live with it and use it to empower his life by doing things such as paying his bills for the next month the day after last month's become due...that way he is always a month ahead.

4. My husband does the whole bill pay a month in advance, pay them

until the money's gone, thing going. It used to be irritating, now it's quirkily charming. :hi:

3. he wants to get laid

or he's over-reacting to the last time you bought something he hated and he sulked and you cut him off for a week.

N/T

6. Damn. Are you secretly my boyfriend?

That was just....spooky.

7. It sucks that he broke it so it doesn't suck. But doesn't suck that you

that you now have one that sucks. But it sucks that you had to buy a new one. But it doesn't suck that you got a deal.

12. I won't say it

I'm biting my tongue but I just won't say it. My tongue's bleeding.

8. Well, I've seen OTHER uses for the Vacuum cleaner

but if I go into details we'd get this thread locked because of being considered a sex thread

:eyes:

10. Whoa nellie!!!

11. It was shown in the movie "Scary Movie"

pretty gross but funny as hell. Kinda one of those "American Pie" type things.

9. His breaking or his preening? The breaking is sick..the preening is

wonderful...make him vaccuum up the remnants of the last vaccuum...thatl teach him!!!!

13. Make him vaccuum up the remnants of his manhood

ooops, did I say that?

[tigereye]

14. whew did that deteriorate fast

it was amazing to see...

15. If someone spent $156 on me I would be happy too.

Maybe he doesn't get spontaneous gifts often. Or he wants to get laid.
