I've been married now for 4 months, and do consider myself an expert on the subject. And would like to discuss some of the finer points of marriage. To help out all the woman out there who struggle relating to their perfect husbands. One of my biggest problems with marrage is the stinking bobby pins that are EVERYWHERE. In four months, I can go around everywear and pick up all the bobby pins in my house, recycle them and make more than the jokers who stole t316's AC unit. It is absolutely rediculous. Today for example, I am cleaning the house, and have found about 50 or 60 just laying around various places on the floor of my apartment. so all you woman out there, please be considerate and put your bobby pins where they belong.

Start buying her some plastic hair clips, and the hair rubberbandy thingys. She will get the hint soon. I didn't know many women still used that many bobby pins

Thanks a lot. My wife has hair clips, and rubberband thingies everywhere. She just read your post with me and then said I need some bobby pins....seriously, she is going to buy some on the way home today. To help her hold her hair better. Dude...next time keep your marital problems to yourself....you are not suppossed to share this with others.
I have the same problem, except I just throw them away if I find them.

I've been married 12 years or so, 4 years the first time out. Learned a few things.
#1 Bobby pins are GREAT for cleaning the wax out of your ears. Once she picks up a few of them with a wad of wax in the bend you wont notice nearly as many left laying around.
#2 Bobby pin bombs. When she connects the nervousness of the cat to the bobby pins on the floor with one of the legs bent back that should take care of the rest of the pins laying around.

um.... just one question....
..... what's wrong with bobby pins laying around?
I mean.... it's not like they're dirty or anything.

We don't have a single bobby pin in our household. I think it's the younger generation that is into the bobby pins right now. Sorry... not for me. I think they are pretty unattractive :)

phbt. ur not supposed to let them SHOW, u know.
ur hair is beautifully coiffed and no one knows how every strand stays perfectly in place - people are green with envy, but your secret is safe, tucked behind strategically placed locks - the bobby pin; the stealth bomber of killer hairstyles.

I don't have time to do a coiffed hair due with twins running around and trying to get my work done

I stepped on one (one that I'd removed the little plastic tips of in hopes of it poking her head) that poked into my foot drawing blood and really really hurting...

I guess my wife is just low maintenance
. Then again, all the ones that were in her head from the wedding day are still rubber banded together and probably hiding somewhere ready to strike is mass

Have you tried asking her to kind of keep them in one spot, for example: in a drawer in the bathroom, or are these ones that just kind of fall out at the end of a long day?

I've got you all beat. I've been married for 4 years. About 2 years ago we got a cat. By some act of God, the cat developed an overwhelming attraction to the bobby pins all over the house.
EVERY MORNING, my wife's ENTIRE STOCK of bobby pins and rubberbands were in the cat food bowl.
I didn't even have to "train" my wife - the cat did it for me. As I think of it, it's pretty sad that my cat is more likely to train my wife than I am. Don't know how the planets aligned on that one.

P.S. stdreb, congrats on your marriage - you don't see younger marriages as often anymore. And happy 4 month anniversary!
