Japanese fashion experts surveyed on what they consider the worst fashion choices a man could make have slated the rucksack as the most unsightly despite its handiness, also rubbishing a variety of other fashion blunders.
Curiously, their list all but mirrors the fashion most associated with otaku…
The survey asked 120 female “advisors” with marriage service Onet what fashion choices men hoping to do well in konkatsu would do well to avoid.
The most maligned was the rucksack, with 20% saying it was no good, followed by carrying a secondary bag (15.8%), and the universally reviled waist pouch (“fanny pack”/”bum bag”) at 15%.
Bags were the biggest faux pas, but in other areas there were plenty too – white socks, dirty shoes, gold necklaces, excessive mobile phone straps, belts with strange buckles, and of course having a shirt tucked into the trousers.
Not mentioned were anime emblazoned T-shirts and similar – clearly no sensible person would ever consider attempting to court females so dressed, so it hardly needs to be pointed out.
It must be no coincidence that this list has such an overlap with the otaku fashion so loathed by women of taste…

These guys have to get better swag.
How many of the weaboos who read this site where the anime tshirts, or those generic asiany dragon tshirts. And how many who don't where them to their school where them when they goto cons.
Freakin weaboos.
It's "wear". Really, have you never used the word until now? Also, "go to" is two words.
nah, it's the japanese pronounciation of goat.
i reckon the female "advisors" would go all over the otaku if he replace rucksack with gucci brand rucksack.
THERE'S A REASON THAT DOESN'T EXIST.
I'M ACTUALLY GUCCI AND I READ THIS.
IT NOW DOES.
i do believe there is such a thing as function over fashion...
And a gucci brand bum bag...
I just don't go outside then...
:<
What's an outside?
Just a silly myth. Don't believe it.
outside?? *looks out the window* Oh my god... the rumors were true!!
It's an optical illusion via light refraction of your window.
reminds me of the bromeliad trilogy
Hehe if that's the case, no point in wearing any clothes, let alone a rucksack while you're at it.
What are men supposed to carry their stuff around in then? Trolley bags?
handbag?
I use a Microsoft backpack (I know... but it was the only one reasonably sturdy, reasonably large, and semi-reasonably-priced I could find), or my old PS/2 "shoulder-bag" to carry my stuff.
"Stuff" ==
* laptop (usually a netbook)
* laptop charger
* laptop alarm
* computer books and magazines
* maglight
* umbrella
* gloves
* pens and pencils
* glasses
* paperback book (fiction)
* things I just bought (Mountain Dew, DVDs, etc.)
* sometimes, manga or "graphic novels"
* sometimes, Champions gaming notes
* sometimes, gaming dice
No, I'm not married.
No, I don't have a gf.
No, I don't particularly wish to hook up with an Asian woman (wouldn't mind, per se - it depends on what she wants out of life).
Functionality over fashion is my creed.
You do have a lot of stuff though, you might want to leave excessive stuff you don't need, back at home...
Also depends on what purpose you'd be having a backpack with you.
"No, I don't particularly wish to hook up with an Asian woman (wouldn't mind, per se - it depends on what she wants out of life)."
-__- well if you have to say it...
How much of that do you need in a day? Seriously. SERIOUSLY. There's a time and a place for everything, you don't need a laptop and a novel and a maglight at the same time.
The umbrella alone is reason enough to carry a bag of some kind, unless you'd feel less awkward just carrying an umbrella everywhere.
You don't need most of that shit.
Pencil and pens? use your laptop to write stuff down.
An umbrella? Just wear a jacket that has a hood.
The books, "gaming notes" (lol), magazines, and mangas should be left at home. Trust me, no one wants to take them from you.
and a maglite? Scared of the dark or what?
planing on doing some late night car repair?
WTF an umbrella?
You can't go outside and check the weather?
Or at least open a window.
hmm maybe he's a student.. and needs all that crap.. i know i did when i went.. and it was a fuckin pain!
get a mobile which you can hack into a flashlight in 2 min, get the books in digital format, as the manga, the cellphone has an alarm you can program too... that should lighten your load a little....
I stopped carrying my D20 set a while ago... realized i wasn't even usign those....
mmm... i still dont know what to do about laptop's charger, when some1 invents wireless electricity I'll let you know...
ah... and there are some 3 inches umbrellas around... you won't get full cover... but, it won't occupy lots of space either....
summarizing, just try to reduce the number of things you carry around.
Wireless electricity has been invented so feel free to let him know
Get a electric watch that beeps.
There are wireless chargers but only used at airports or so a pre-flight commercial ad claims. We'll probably see it out for household use within the next five years.
Correction a "Manbag".
testicle sack?
It's just called a sack
A sac.
A sac
sac.
if women don't want me to hold their bags when i go shopping with them so much...then they can hold it themselves
very true, it's their stuff anyway so why would you want to carry it?
Yeah, like WTF??? It's not like jeans pockets and cargo pants can hold that much stuff.
well your waifu shouldn't give you an allowance from your paycheck that allows for anything other than a snack during your 12hr work day and you carry any work related papers/items in your briefcase anyway so...
WTF anything resembling a bag is a big nono for women?!?!? so i'm just supposed to carry my wallet and phone, period?
What exactly would a man need to bring to a Konkatsu besides his wallet and/or phone? That IS what this survey was right? Just about the stuff worn to a Konkatsu? Besides that, how about a brief case? Or OR... just don't give a shit.
Exactly. There's nothing wrong with carrying a bag around to hold shit when you're say, shopping around town.
You don't need to have a fannypack, rucksack and manbag for a social event.
Yes you do. Gotta get ready for the nice boat ending.
like where are suppose to keep our wares?
and for the record there a lot of real fashionable backpacks, they may be large enough for camping and such but still hold enough stuff like a handbag
Well unless you're going camping or something... just a plain canvas bag is pretty easy to work with. Well? Anyone else like canvas bags?
I rarely leave the house carrying more than just my wallet, phone, and keys anyway. You shouldn't need to carry around that much shit unless you actually plan on using it.
Amen brother. All of you should be ashamed calling your selfs men and carrying half your house with you like women.
Yes, all you need is your phone your wallet, your keys and a handkerchief. No need to carry other shit.
Phone, wallet, keys, sidearm, ear-buds, sunglasses depending on weather, jacket. all I carry with me normally.
"And a handkerchief" my ass.
sidearm??? whats that a gun?? what do you need that for
All I ever have is my wallet and my phone. I really don't see the point of carrying around much more :P
yep so they keep all the money they would spend for themselfs
These advisor's ideal man is probably so rich he has sevants to carry his stuff. Good luck with that.
http://diamondheadz.wordpress.com/2009/02/14/billionaire-boys-club-gold-rucksack/
Yea like WTF are they suppose to use to carry things then? Their bare hands?
And to think that women spend thousands of dollars on a fucking purse, this of all things is what they complain about? Ironic.
This.
= TRUTH
What things? WTF to you do with this things?
Wow, what a bunch of retards.
Backpacks?
You shouldn't need to carry around more shit then what you can fit into a backpack, unless you are moving, going camping (Not like any of you go camping), or are shopping, in which case you get plastic bags provided to you.
In any case, this is one case where I agree with women completely. Stereotypical "otaku" wear is unacceptable to go outside in.
Yeah, the wonderful finger-cutting plastic bags. That's just one wonderful idea you have here. Plus an ecologic one, shall I say...
Backpack isn't that convenient in crowded pick-pocket environment, nor when you have to get and put things from it a lot of time. Unless you wear it on your torse... (and in that case, don't mind the bizarre look you'll get.)
The survey asked 120 female “advisors” with marriage service Onet what fashion choices men hoping to do well in konkatsu would do well to avoid.
If you're not participating in a konkatsu party, then don't worry about it. Although I'd say this advice applies to any actual social event. I mean, it's fine having bags or a rucksack with you when you're out buying stuff, but I wouldn't go to any kind of party with one...
Actually rucksacks are considered quite unfashionable whatever the event, it seems.
Use an oversized wheelie bag instead. It's way cooler and you can fit a lifeless female body in there.
cool guys don't need to carry stuff...
obviously.
no shit? all the things that cool guys needs to carry are in their pants.
icecubes?
fashionable vs practicality, when you're a guy it's not a hard choice.
Fashion has always hated practicality...
is a katana fashionable?
fuck man, were just shopping for goods, its somewhat equivalent to a god dam purse.
there's always sling bags.
fashion is the only thing a hate about otakus...
But some doesn't dress that way thou?...
None of that applies to me except the rucksack but screw them. I don't think these female advisors have a practical bone in their bodies. We men use rucksacks to carry around manly stuff. Fashion can get stuffed.
This just applies to Japanese men anyway, the perks of being a foreigner in Japan is you are generally not bound by all that nonsense.
yes, but that fanny pack you are wearing and those khaki pants 6 inches too short with those athletic socks showing doesn't look good either.
True indeed. These kind of women also better ask themselves why they prefer putting all their valuable stuffs (ie; wallet, cellphones, ID and credit cards) in their purse despite the risk of getting it along with the stuffs in it snatched is higher than getting pickpocketed..
WTF is wrong with white socks and gold necklaces?
If anything, gold necklaces seem more like a "gangsta" item that street punks wear which I assume are the most desirable amongst women.
You assume wrong.
White socks seem like a nerd outfit- I mean, when was the time you saw someone's white socks in public? When that nerd with the 6-inch-too-short trousers sat down.
And gold necklaces just make most people look like twats.
The "white socks" thing is mainly if the socks are visible.
As you can see from most otaku terror pictures, they wear shorts with their socks riding high, or pants that reveal their ankles (and thus, their socks).
If you're wearing pants that are long enough, the white socks thing is not an issue.
Exactly.
Ankle exposure is forbidden? I kinda thought the Puritans died three centuries ago. I guess they just moved to Japan.
I don't mind, I always use sling bags (my backpack has now become my cat's bed); not because of fashion and style but simply because I don't want people to unzip my bag from the back and steal my stuffs.
the dude in the pic looks handsome enough for a date ;)
p.s. 2nd pic ;D
What's a rucksack? Is it a backpack or is it a handbag?
Backpack, rucksack is the common Japanese term.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpack
^ This
Like 'Doppelgänger' (ä=ae) - for example - it is a loanword.
where can I get one of those 'lol'belts?
I disagree with some of the sentiment here- particularly that a backpack is worse than a branded shopping bag. I may use the items in question, but it's a far cry from serving as a walking advertisement.
Giant belt buckles are likewise defensible, but only if you're a certain type of person. Trying to act like you are with a cardboard personality will understandably have adverse dating effects.
Those orbital head sparkles, though? Total chick magnet.
I started reading, but immediately caught the word "fashion". I cringed and then I also saw the word "expert" alongside it.
Fashion alone is a concept of so much fail there's no point caring about its existence. That some fags calling themselves "fashion experts"/fashion designers try to dictate what people should and should not wear/carry is utterly ridiculous. The fact that many people are devoid of any sense of real character and miserable enough to buy that sort of concept is as retarded as it's insane.
Can you honestly say you have no preference in clothing on the opposite gender? Fashion is a design art. It follows trends of styles and is made to appeal to people. You could say that trends in anime characte design are loosely similar. To brush fashion off as something so wretched is completely ignorant. Some people just invest a personal interest in clothing, whereas others may have interests in other hobbies.
I'm not sure about "fashionable" but I do have a preference in clothing on the opposite sex. Oversized shirts <3
Some people may invest whatever they want on whatever they like. No one [should give]/[gave] them the right to impose their opinion on their supposed "hobby" to the general population and no one in his right mind should follow an arbitrary dress code some moron invented to make himself look important.
As far as fashion appealing to the public... LULZ. When I hear "because that's the current fashion trend" as an answer to "why are you wearing that", I can safely say the notion of fashion working for good taste and not for some fag's profit has gone through the window.
Wear what makes you yourself (and try to keep it legal :p )
Yes, I have a "preference in clothing on the opposite gender" - at least, the attractive members of the opposite gender.
1) No clothes at all.
2) As close to no clothes at all as possible.
3) Thin, tight, body-form-revealing clothes (even if she's got tiny breasts).
But "Fashion Experts" doesn't agree with me.
"fashion experts"
ha ha ha
oh wow
White socks are a fashion faux pas which makes one undateable in Japan? You have got to be fucking kidding me.
I don't understand the white socks thing either, I never knew sock color mattered. I wear short white socks everyday with pants long enough of course, and i've never seen a teen or any young person wearing colored socks. Is it a japanese thing?
IMO a single backpack is good enough. The rest can be stored either a vest, cargo pants, shoes, or hair.
A woman shallow enough to reject someone solely because they were wearing a backpack is probably not the kind of woman I'd want to be in a relationship with, so it all works out really.
I'll wear my backpack wherever the hell I like, fuck the haters.
I agree! Women who reject someone based in the clothes one wears would be the ones I would not want to date...
It acts as a filter :D, just be yourself and keep crap at distance!
Fuck that, I wear my backpack whereever I need it. Way more handy than some shopping bags or whatever.
So I like bad in the eyes of some overly fashionconscious chicks? Nice filtration of annoying girls I'd say!
Hehehehehehe
Well I am guilty of none of the above, but I highly doubt that helps.
The thing is, how you look is like a resume, if you are shopping for ordinary crap, on an ordinary day, performing your ordinary routine, then who the fuck cares eh. Ever seen an ordinary woman on her idea of an ordinary day? They don't look drop dead sexy either in most cases.
Now if it's Saturday night, and the plan is to end up with a girl in your bed, you better dress like you actually expect it to happen.
I never looked like that when I was out 'hunting'.
Nor do the ladies.
Clean hair, clean clothes, NICE looking clean clothes too and you don't have all your shit on your person.
On my average day, I have a beat up black leather jacket on (if it's the cold season), otherwise the way I dress, I look like someone's dad that runs a warehouse. Mono coloured shirt (fucking tucked in too like a respectable person my age), mono coloured pants, and they are work pants, not fancy schmancy jeans, held up with a belt, not half off my fucking ass, and I have a nice looking belt buckle. Shoes, not running shoes either. Chances are I have several multi tools on my person as well as wallet. Not one bag or pack or school bag unless I am going from point A to point B and need to carry stuff from my home to there (which means I am not hunting for something to fuck).
95% of the young people I see on the street are dressed casual, and don't look at all like that list and only have the school bag if you know, going to or coming from school not surprisingly.
Here in North America, kids simply don't wear fanny packs and don't carry around a pack unless forced. Then again the boys can't be relied on to NOT wear a hoody and NOT have their much too large pants damn near off their ass. And the ladies rarely look like ladies.
And while it's of course nice to a guys eyes, if your skirt is so short you can't possibly avoid exposing your panties girls, then it's too fucking short. Over here, it's assumed the only reason they tolerate short skirts on Catholic girls, is because Catholics like it when girls breed. Makes more Catholics that way eh.
cheers!!!
Here in Japan, "casual" clothes don't exist for women. Girls don't step outside of the house without a carefully planned out outfit and pounds of make-up.
Right, Bag carriers, list the stuff you regularly take with you when you go out. Also what sort of bag you use.
Bag: Shoulder Bag
Stuff:
-13" Notebook
-Camera
-PSP
-portable media player
-mobile phone
-Keys
-Wallet
Untucked shirts make you look like a chav.
thats not true unless u wear a hoodie and a brand named cap as well but then again chavs look like douche bags any way so it dont matter
Fashion...
Who the fuck cares?
guys who are after chicks before they reach 40.
If the chicks turn 40, just turn to younger ones.
If the guys turn 40, who cares? Last article I remember on that said that chicks like old guys anyway.
If the chicks turn 40, they're in their sexual prime. MILFs ftw.
I hate to say, backpacks are the most common item around the world at all post-secondary institutes (university, college, etc.). Try carrying heavy textbooks without a backpack over a long distance...
I carry a bag to hold my textbooks and lecture notes. Apparently I should be castaway.
Fashion advisors suck.
Amen, brother anon.
btw, by definition a rucksack is a type of backpack, not a handbag as shown above.
If the Japanese definition of a rucksack is a handbag, that means almost all women carry these (probably without the anime motifs). Now which gender appears to be whining more: women most likely...
A gym bag or uniform bag only thing you'll get me to carry. Why don't those guys just carry a leather suitcase? Ain't wearing no fanny pack either those are for girls.
Fanny packs should not be for either gender. Fanny packs should not exist.
Unless you are CCW a pistol in a fanny pack. Then you can shoot people who dare mock your crappy taste in accessories.
Yeah, but you'll still look like a douche.
What the hell is wrong with white socks? Isn't that the standard color when you're going casual?
guess i dont have a chance since i wear a suit then.my shirt is always tucked in and i carry a bag with my laptop and papers in it.damn i gotta get a new job now
These problems are instantly solved if you're wearing a 'three wolf and one moon' t-shirt.Chicks loves that stuff. :3
I think it depends on the backpack...
There is plenty of cool backpacks. There is also plenty of nerdy ones. It also depends on how you wear it and how much crap you stick in it.
Plus in western society 90% of students, both high school and university wear backpacks... I think it is much better than Japanese student's flat handbag/briefcase things.
Good backpacks:

You know, I think part of the problems with Japan declining population has to do with this research.
Ok, part because of cultural stuff, spineless otaku dudes and stuff like that, but also part because women there are setting a standard so high they end up never finding a match.
Makes me wonder if they ever judge people without considering only superficial stuff.
It's kinda sad when you read women considering only social status, clothing and car brands, or the ability to pay high priced brand name bags and other crap like that.
I'd rather live a fun live in poverty than be locked in a rich and souless/loveless relationship.
fuck me, my clean white socks have doomed me....
"white socks"
Why is that bad?
White socks lolwut? Well I'm good my red/blue wool socks most be fashionable.
Rather strange tastes these "advisors" have on a few points, at least compared to locals.
1. Bags - where I come from rucksacks are steadily gaining popularity, particularly laptop users who are practically everywhere nowadays thanks to WiFi Services (in fact laptop security advise is to transport such wares in "nondescript" bags, because stuff like attache cases and traditional laptop carriers will attract thieves)
2. White socks - Their point is applicable for officeware. For the sporty look, I wonder what they want to see?
3. Dirty shoes - again in officeware or formal wear. I guess the outdoors and adventures are off limits to these advisors.
4. Gold Necklaces - perhaps Mr. T scared them?
5. Belts with strange buckles - any examples of these?
6. A shirt tucked into the trousers - perhaps all the men these advisors keep seeing are way out of shape? Tucking in shirts is a preferred look where I come from, especially in the office.
I think it's important to bear in mind that these are the kinds of things that you're not supposed to wear to a "konkatsu". Think about speed dating; you wouldn't go with a rucksack or fanny pack. If you needed a bag, you'd prefer to take a smart messenger bag or something similar.
Those things mentioned in the article make perfect sense, such as white socks - because you're expected to be dressed smartly, not arriving in sportswear unless you've just come from the freakin' gym.
Why do women ALWAYS care about shoes? If I wear a 3 piece suit with dirty shoes chicks still look at me like "he must have no money"
Because it isn't just a Forrest Gump reference; you really can tell a lot about a person from their shoes. Not as much as stated in the film, but certainly you can tell if they're dressed smart. Anyone can put on a suit, but not everyone can get a watch that matches the trim, or take the time to shine up shoes properly.
If you were at something like a speed-dating evening, remember you might only have a few minutes to get to know someone - so you'd latch onto anything you could to get a measure of them. I wouldn't specifically notice shoes, but I'm sure a lot of people would.
Those socialable fools!
The rucksack, also known as the backpack, is the peak of equipment-carrying efficiency!
Not only does it carry all your necessary equipment safe from external dirt and travel damage (and in some cases, water), it also allows you to have both hands free for all kinds of situations; let it be an unexpected hostile approaching you, or when you need your hands to rescue somebody without having to waste time by dropping your equipment to do so!
What's wrong with white socks?
There's nothing wrong about the socks, only those who belittle them.
Might be an urbanite thing or only specific to some nations, but here in Canada, the truly interested in fashion aka wealthy don't NEED top carry their shit around. They leave it in their cars.
I don't really understand what the big deal is. I mean, it isn't difficult to NOT dress like a clown.
And sure, sometimes you're going to need to run around carrying a bunch of stupid crap and looking like a geek. There are times when that is appropriate, and there are times when you should put forth the effort to 'dress nice'.
So long as you can manage that common sense sort of stuff and avoid dressing like a fool, any woman overly-concerned with how you dress is probably a less than ideal partner. Because honestly, that's rather shallow.
For example, unless I am expecting company of some sort, I tend to bum around my apartment in one of several oversized tshirts and some comfortable pants. I wouldn't go outside in this, that's just common sense. I have comfortable 'inside' clothes for hanging around the house, I have active wear, I have 'nice clothes', I have work clothes, I have relaxed 'outside' clothes for hanging out with friends, I have a Tactical Response Uniform...but that's another story.
And a good bag that can hold a lot of stuff and still look good isn't hard to manage. I <3 my Tenba messenger bag. Combination messenger bag, camera bag, and laptop bag. Pretty damn spiffy. Looks good on me (So I've been told), comfortable, and keeps my camera equipment safe and secure. Not cheap though, there's always a trade-off. ;o
Perhaps some women just need to remember that we're not women. We don't give a shit how we look or dress, so long as we're not making asses of ourselves. (Well, most of us, anyway.) If they so badly want their partners to be attractive and fashion-obsessed, they're looking at the wrong gender.
Guys, the article is talking about those who generally go out dressed like that thinking it's normal. As far as fashion goes I usually wear Levis 510 super skinnys or any other nice skinny jean. Shirts I have various shirts from Diamond, The Hundreds, Supreme, Crooks & Castles, and such. I also have various pairs of Nike AF1s, dunks, and SBs. I also wear a new era fitted hat every now and then.
You had better be trolling me, but goddammit, skinny jeans on men is so blatantly homosexual...
Skinny jeans are very fashionable. Let me guess, your mom still dresses you right?
What the hell is wrong with white socks?
Why's it gotta be white? eh?
LOL the tucking in your shirt is odd. Usually the richer you are then better you dress and tucking in your shirt is part of that.
I agree. The way I was raised, wearing slacks, and tucked in button up shirts is called dressing NICELY.
Whence did dressing extra casual = dressing good?
Honestly, what the fuck do fashion experts know about anything? Maybe I just don't understand it, but fashion has to be one of the most transient and least satisfying jobs in the world...You never have anything to show for it other than clinging onto one materialistic sensation after another until you've become too old for anyone to really give a shit. I really wonder if any "fashion experts" end up saying, "oh my, I have wasted the last 40 years of my life."
The whole article revolves around heaping hate on the cliched anime convention attendee obviously though.
And to my knowledge, the cliche anime convention type really has no particular interest in real women looking at them.
All you really need is a towel.
Is it me, or does that drawing they have up there look an awful lot like Chris-chan?
Never use any of them, a suitcase is better instead of a bag or something. I still use a rackpack since I attend to the university and EVERYONE uses them, so it's normal and handy for those many books and the laptop
Seems no one realizes that this survey is about men going to a konkatsu party (a marriage hunting party). In other words, a social event.
I can't imagine any guy going to such a thing with a rucksack and a fannypack...
Same could be said of your like of anime.
ta'hell with all that. Just carry around a big red velvet bag everywhere you go. And just randomly yell out "HO HO HO!" and hand out shit to people ;)
That might get you some chicks
Because this description matches every one of you ugly fat otakus on here, its a good way of explaining why you'd choose a fictional 2D wife, who can't tell you how repulsive you are.
People need to learn how to spell.
Douche yes, but armed!
Put that on a t-shirt "Armed Douche"
Don't bother with this one it is pointless.
Bah, whatever. I love my fanny pack.
Shit, Boo shirts conquer all
Hmm...I wear sweats, white socks, sneakers, and a messenger bag.
Damn! That is exactly what i look like...
otaku is culture!!!
I use Rucksacks when needed. I've even been found using an waist pouch :O
Though I only use the pouch on (music) festivals because it is harder to steal something from it and perfect for holding my weed.
Other then that I fully understand why women are against men carrying bags of any kind. I mean how are the supposed to hold all the shopping bags if they already have bags of their own??
Wierd. I carry a rucksack/backpack all the time because I read while on transport and carry a bottle of water as well. The same bag is what I use to carry my tons of notes and other schoolwork related material to school >_> I'd ratehr carry my load in a balanced manner on both shoulders cause its just sometimes so darn heavy.
Here is how I'll dress for my konkatsu
1)boxer(no need for pants)
2)slipper
3)vest with Doraemon pocket
4)my PSP hanging around my neck
5)finally carrying my C.C. dakimakura since backpack is a no-no
I'm sure I'll definitely look cool
There are reasons why people dress they way they want to, simply because they don't want to do what they don't intend to do. These so-called "experts" should know their own place and know that there exists other places beside their own.
If I want a bag to carry my stuff, I'll just get the nearest decent bag in a heartbeat. That or I'll bring my own.
Going out just to get bread shouldn't feel like going on a date because I don't want to go on a date. I just want to get my bread. Couldn't get any simpler than that. Just... GIVE ME MY *censored* BRREAAADDD!!!
