"my wife's Vibe..."

Post by canadave »

Is anyone else running into these weird conversations where you inevitably wind up talking about your Vibe, or your significant other's Vibe, in a suggestive way? :oops: They always seem to be a variation of this:

"What is that?" says stranger/friend.
"Oh, that's my wife's Vibe" I say.
*odd look*

I was in my third conversation like this within two weeks.

The Vibe jokes weren't really that funny in 2003, let alone 2013. But sometimes people still find them just hilarious. :?

I found myself in the same situation on another board a while back where someone found it quite amusing. Whatever. go ahead with your tired old joke - gee I've never heard this one before. :roll:

Okay, good to know it's not just the company I keep that's got their mind in the gutter! lol

I can see where this might get a bit tiresome. I've only had to deal with it three times and already it's getting old...

Just try to get vanity/personalized plates for your Vibe with the Vibe name in it :o . At least in my case the ODOT (Ohio dept of transportation) folks who run the license bureau associated almost every initial request that I had, with pornography :x and ended up settling with something that is more of the real me ;)

I've had my fair share of inappropriate comments, etc. when I refer to my Vibe or my mom's Vibe :roll:. One of my co-workers even referred to the meet in Pontiac, IL back in June as "Viberator Fest" :roll:. I'm used to it and have learned very quickly to ignore it.
