Don't buy this tshirt

Monday Apr 25, 2005

While this tshirt may seem like a good gift, I don't recommend you buy it for your loved ones. My parents bought it as a gift for that guy I live with (aka my husband) thinking it would be a funny way to thank him for the bottomless tech support he provides to my ever-so-needy-but-I-still-love-them-family.

He wears it now and then and when I say, "Oh, that's the tshirt my parents bought you," he responds with either:
1. A mumble I can't understand
or
2. Your family's the best (followed by an eye roll)

So why shouldn't you buy the tshirt?

I've found that it reminds my family AND his family of their minor-to-ridiculous PC issues. So they point and laugh at the tshirt and then say something like:
"That computer you built me keeps breaking." (Like the problem roots from what he did instead of the fact that they can't lay off the mp3 downloads or whatever else they are looking at late at night! Wink. Wink.)

Sun has a tshirt like that, and I wear it quite a bit. People are always asking me "Well why not?" out of the blue and I'm like "Huh? Why not what?". "Why won't you fix my computer?". "oh ..."
