| But what was the point of lying? by Tansin A. Darcos (TDARCOS) 03/28/2013, 5:28am PDT | ||||

| There is a commercial for Ace Hardware stores in which some guy is being given information about how to do something (open the u-shaped trap pipe below the sink where his wedding ring went) that it's like he's in the hardware store owner's house, sitting on a bar stool in his kitchen, being schooled. His wife walks by, asks what they're doing, and both give a different answer, neither one being what is correct. She then makes a sardonic comment about men and the things they do, and walks on.
I have a question here. Why? Why is it necessary for them to lie about what's going on? It's not like the guy needing advice (and possibly buy a pipe wrench, clearly a good reason to visit a hardware store!), as I see it, taking the trap off the sink in order to masturbate into it, use it for some S&M routine, or something else clearly disgusting or dangerous. He wants to figure out how to remove the p-trap (as the guy from Ace hardware called it), and that's a perfectly reasonable explanation, that, even if him losing his wedding ring in the sink is embarrassing - and this is an incident so common for women that no one thinks twice about it - it would have been adequate to give it. Is it that both men are so used to lying that they can't even speak straight? Plus, it was the hardware store owner's wife, not the wife of the guy needing to take the pipe off his sink. Why would it even be necessary to lie to her? I mean, I can understand some guy lying to his wife or a female friend if he's doing a party for her, or he's done or is going to do something disgusting, fattening and/or illegal. But in this case, it just really doesn't make any sense. |
