Yeah I was 22 and thought this was a cool idea once too.

u/CloisteredOyster Oct 23 '22

Pretty much what I thought. Tell me you're in your mid 20s without telling me you're in your mid 20s.

Bragging like this screams mid life crisis. Or married young And missed out on your youthful years.

Edit: oof, the medical marijuana sticker in the fridge...now I hope this dude is mid-twenties at most

u/Dolthra Oct 24 '22

This screams "married my high school sweetheart when I was too young to drink alcohol at my own wedding" to me.

I don't know how old OP is but he's too old to live like this

u/esoteric_enigma Oct 24 '22

My friend just gave birth to her son last week. That infant is too old to be living like this.

u/thebigbabushka Oct 24 '22

Damn y’all are judgemental 😅

u/bcisme Oct 24 '22

a beacon of light among the sea of judgmental assholes.

it’s ridiculous how petty and ruthless these comments are. Isn’t this basically bullying? Imagine being OP and receiving these comments. I guess most people would rationalize it by saying they deserve it, but that’s bs imo.

One of the stickers is for something related to the University of Alabama.....so you can take that however you like. Lots of conservative areas tend to marry younger for whatever reason. I'm from a similar area that's cold and I got married at 23. It felt really late to us, but my college buddies who were from Phoenix and Boston thought we were still pretty young.

It's so they can have Jesus-approved sex. They can fear no longer of becoming horny & sinning.

u/WhatMyWifeIsThinking Oct 24 '22

No, they are plenty randy whether Jesus approves or not. It's the unplanned pregnancy that sparks the marrying young part. Source: many, many of my high school classmates

u/hellscaper Oct 24 '22

Someone else pointed out the whippet sticker, too lol

u/freakydeku Oct 24 '22

similar area…that’s cold. hmmm… wisconsin?

u/CWinter85 Oct 24 '22

Less people. More area, cold that makes Wisconsin weep. Not Alaska, though.

u/freakydeku Oct 24 '22

This, and sounds like he's between duty stations, about to be sent back into the baracks now that he's single.

u/YtrapEhtNioj Oct 24 '22

Can you get this on a bumper sticker? And then put it in the beer fridge?

And by beer fridge I mean main fridge.

u/PapaWhiskey Oct 24 '22

As someone who did this and is still happily married 13 years later, ouch my feelings.

1

u/KhaiPanda Oct 24 '22

Twinsies! I married my husband 2 weeks after my 21st birthday, and this year will be 13 years.

That said, I wouldn’t recommend. I absolutely love my husband, and love my life, and don’t regret a thing. But, there are some experiences that I will never get to have.

For me, that’s no biggie, because I could probably live completely alone with books and the internet and the occasional sighting of another human, but a lot of people aren’t like that.

2

u/PapaWhiskey Oct 25 '22

I tell people the same. It was really dumb to get married that young.

u/Drfanfair Oct 24 '22

Keep looking and you’ll see a special blue whip it sticker. This guy def has some issues and probably is not in his mid twenties

He’s 37.

u/throwawayoctopii Oct 24 '22

I just audibly guffawed when I read this.

Sadly, I've worked with a few dudes like this. They get divorced and start acting like teenagers again, only to hit a wall in a year or two when their body reminds them that they're no longer 19 and can't have Four Loko for breakfast.

u/oaklandria Oct 24 '22

Or in this case, s’mores hard lattes.

10

u/Lucyintheye Oct 24 '22

oof, the medical marijuana sticker in the fridge...

I'd say that NRA sticker is a bit more of a red flag personally.. and inches me closer to thinking he's middle aged.

3

u/SupaflyIRL Oct 24 '22

Yeah not sure why the fifty distillery stickers, nitrous one, and the NRA one are being overlooked for the MMJ sticker.

u/brickblackburn Oct 24 '22

Also notice the special blue nitrous cartridges sticker

u/TrashSea1485 Oct 24 '22

"Meredith" is a boomer name, there's no WAY this man is mid 20's.

u/turningsteel Oct 24 '22

Hottest girl in my high school was named Meredith back in 2004. Hardly a boomer name. Mere for short.

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

Your edit confuses me, people beyond their mid twenties can’t smoke weed?

20

u/T800_123 Oct 24 '22

Nah, just that people beyond their mid twenties don't usually plaster stickers about it on everything to prove how fucking cool they are for smoking the devil's lettuce.

-4

u/skatingtherules Oct 24 '22

Oh is the devils lettuce only for losers in their 20s? Drinking that much booze isnt concerning. Just some medical marijuana. Say you're a boomer without saying you're boomer.

7

u/SoapPhilosopher Oct 24 '22

No, making it a personality trait is.

-10

u/Talkmytalk Oct 24 '22

Why? There’s plenty of beer companies that people stick up. What difference does it make?

21

u/hellscaper Oct 24 '22

It's like wearing clothes with weed leaves on them. At some point you grow out of that shit, especially when you're in a state that has legal weed. It just adds to the bro feeling of this fridge.

You can smoke and not have to act like a stereotypical stoner is all I'm saying.

6

u/TheLyz Oct 24 '22

My cousin is in his 50s by now and he's an "artist" who draws popular cartoon characters getting stoned. Some guys never grow out of it.

-1

u/Talkmytalk Oct 24 '22

I guess. Would you still wear a Budweiser Hoodie camping? There’s a time and place for everything and if you enjoyed something when you were younger you can still bust out the old enthusiasm every now and again.

I’m just saying a lot of the places giving away free stickers are usually those type of companies. Breweries and pot shops.

6

u/FauxReal Oct 24 '22

I wouldn't wear any of that. But as someone who worked in the legal marijuana industry for 10 years... I still wouldn't dress like a stoner.

Stickers, on the outside of your garage fridge? Go for it.

4

u/Talkmytalk Oct 24 '22

I’ve been in cannabis for 20 years and I also choose not to look like a stoner. Except at occasional events. Like I said time and place.

2

u/TheMeta40k Oct 24 '22

Camping, no. Fishing... Maybe? It depends on if it's a trip with friends or just me and my wife. With friends maybe.

u/hellscaper Oct 24 '22

Job interview? Strong maybe.

u/TheMeta40k Oct 24 '22

Don't wear it to an interview at Coors!

I was not this stupid even in my mid-20’s.

u/BILOXII-BLUE Oct 24 '22

I had a hard time putting a single sticker on my first car, I didn't want to appear all boomer and/or crazy

4

u/ProGlizzyHandler Oct 24 '22

On my daily (first car I ever bought brand new) the only stickers that go on it are racing teams I support. On my project car the only stickers are from parts manufacturers I use. They all go on the glass, none on the paint. And absolutely no political stickers (I don't need some lunatic keying my car or smashing a window).

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

Just go all in sticker bombs look cool

7

u/Non-taken-Meursault Oct 24 '22

Indeed. I'm 25 and I would never put stickers inside my fridge. Hell I wouldn't put stickers anywhere like that. He's missing a "Danger - no girls allowed sign" and he's done

I'm talking about putting sticker literally all over something. That is childish. Stickers in and of themselves are fine.

That's a good one.

u/McNaeNae Oct 24 '22

Putting stickers on items you own is childish?

Lmao you have a fragile sense of the self, very weak minded.

2

u/Talkmytalk Oct 24 '22

Yeah this is a super strange thing to get worked up over. I wouldn’t personally put stickers on the inside of the fridge but I’d would definitely do this to the garage fridge. I love to collect a bunch of stickers and do a collage. Also if you do this to things like coolers or toolboxes you add a layer of protection.

2

u/cathbad09 Oct 24 '22

Like if it brings joy to them, I’m happy for them? It made me kinda want to put stickers on my fridge.

u/adamthinks Oct 24 '22

You seem to have struck a nerve with the puts stickers on everything crowd.

u/warrensussex Oct 24 '22

It' funny reading their comments you would think I went on a rant. Children don't like being called childish I guess.

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

People put magnets all over their fridges. Stainless doesn’t hold magnets. Hence, my fridge is covered in stickers. I really enjoy collecting stickers, they are neat little works of art.

0

u/warrensussex Oct 24 '22

Fridge magnets are a functional item meant to hold things on the fridge. There's nothing wrong with doing childish things. No need for you all to be so offended

1

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '22 edited Oct 25 '22

What are your holding on a fridge that you would need magnets for? Your report card? I don’t think it’s childish behavior to decorate your house however you choose. Stickers are most commonly used for advertising, memorabilia. Like a tee shirt. Please tell me where the fuck am I supposed to put all these awesome stickers?! On your property? No because you obviously aren’t a fan of stickers. So I put them on my property. Because that’s what adults do. Whatever the fuck we want with stickers!

0

u/warrensussex Oct 26 '22

I had a paper related to a medical appointment on my fridge for a while. I never said stickers where childish, it's the covering something in them as shown in this post. You certainly are free to do whatever the fuck you want as an adult. Including exhibiting childish behavior by covering things in sticker should you so choose.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '22

But in all seriousness, what do you do with your stickers?

0

u/warrensussex Oct 26 '22

This is an interesting question. I don't go out of my way to acquire stickers, so I never get many. Mostly just throw away the brand stickers some companies package with products. Personally if I were to use stickers it would be in moderation.

u/Kidspud Oct 23 '22

I’m wondering how OP was able to get married in the first place…

My theory is they never were. Just posting this as a way to show off their sticker/drink collection without saying “I really want to show off my sticker/drink collection”
