B.
Who changes their oil every month??? I change my oil based on the miles, not the dates.
B, although I know how to change my oil, I still pay someone to do it for me, because my car’s really low to the ground and I don’t wanna. And they vacuum out my car for me.
I got my oil changed last week, and before that, it had been July of last year. I hadn’t driven 3000 miles in all that time. :o
I’m case number 2, except I pay my mechanic once a year for a complete once-over (usually about the time my car is due for its state-mandated yearly checkup) and don’t need a lawnmower.
Neither one is a loser based on only those premises. Your brother appears to be having a Stupid Moment though.
How old am I and where do I live? In real life I am 25 and I live in NYC so I have no car or lawn, so I am going to pick B. If I were 19 and I lived out in the boonies in TN or somewhere on an acre of land and I needed a car to get anywhere I would pick A.
Age: 30 or older.
Location: Anywhere in the United States. The specific neighborhood or housing situation is somewhat implicit in the choice.
A couple of further points of clarification:
“Living with your mother” means never having lived outside your mother’s house, and continuing to live with her for the foreseeable future. This isn’t a temporary situation.
Nobody has a physical or mental disability that would preclude their performing any of the items.
Agreed. The question wouldn’t have even occurred to me if BIL hadn’t brought it up. It was intended as an insult, but the terms were so starkly pathetic that I wondered if I was missing something.
B. BBBBBBBB. BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB.
Unless there are extremely unusual circumstances (someone is VERY sick, etc.) living with your mother in the long term isn’t something adults in America do.
B.
I live in an apartment and don’t have a place to change my oil. I wouldn’t do it myself anyway.
I don’t have to worry about lawn care and I never see myself with a large suburban lawn. If I did, I’d hire someone in a second. Weekends are too short to waste time with lawn care.
You realize, don’t you, that no matter how many people answer B, you’re not going to convince or de-idiotify your brother-in-law?
Your brother in law obviously knows his way around a lawn mower. Poor guy doesn’t know what he’s missing.
B. I live in a condo (no yard) and almost never drive. Even if I did drive…who changes their oil every month?
You realize that by dating the A person, you never get to have sex with them.
Agreed. Lawnmowing and oil changing is for squares…and free room and board?? Sign me up!
Oh, and chicks dig virgins, so no problem there either.
You can also pay someone to have sex with you with the money you save on rent, landscaping, and getting your oil changed.
Definitely B. For me, the dealbreaker with A is living with my mom. Mechanical skills and regular sex are great, but I’d turn them all down to have some independence.
I might have to go with A. I like my mom and would enjoy living with her, I am celibate anyway, and I would be adding two skills.
I’m already B.
B.
Since my mother is dead, it would be kinda gruesome to have her living with me.
B.
Especially because I have no desire to own either a car or a lawn.
B. I’d rather not be a man-child who lives at home. That kind of independence is an indicator of adulthood.
But taking my car to Jiffy Lube every month would be a bit excessive. I hope someone would tell me so if I was too inept to figure that out on my own.
The last item in B (assuming continuation of that activity) outweighs every other item on either list (and just about anything you can add) by about 9000%.
B. I already don’t know how to change my oil, and I don’t have a lawn, so I’m not losing anything there. Regarding option A, I’d like to learn how to change my oil, and I could live without sex, but not with my mother.
To be fair, the OP never mentioned an age. I could definitely respect a 14-year-old who fit into category A.
