Can you say LOSER? He probably texted the proposal. No wonder she said no.

i think that buying a 80k$ ring gives a better success rate than 80k$ worth of identical phones spread on the ground.
I am really interested to hear what someone doing such thing might be thinking. Could it be a thought process somewhere around this?

A) I think those iphone boxes look really nice. like 800$ a piece nice.
B) my dad is rich, so if I buy 99 iphones it will really look like we're struggling to spend all our money in the family. I like girls liking me just for my money yay!
C) 99 seems like just the right number. I wanted an iphone 6, so I'll just go to the store, buy 100, use one for me and the rest will be perfect to play lego with the boxes!

I don't even understand what the point of the fucking iPhones is.

Cause 9 sounds like eternety in chinese. So 99 is like super eternity. So to be a true poet he bought iphones and shit.

For iphone haters; iphone owners don t give a shit about the phone other people chose. If you like android phones or windows phone well good for you.

sounds pretty dumb. I'm glad she said no

No. 9 in Chinese culture means longevity and eternality. Thus, there were 9,999 rooms within the Forbidden City in Beijing. It is also a tradition between lovers to send 99, or 999 roses, which carry the best wishes for 'everlasting love'.

At first, I thought she was holding out for iPhone #100... but apparently she just doesn't appreciate a truly romantic gesture.

I heard about a guy who came home late and drunk one night and was locked out by his wife as punishment, so to appease her he pushed 100 Yuan notes under the door until she let him in.

[rishaed]

So he gave her 15 bucks a pop until she let him in......I mean he didn't take a key with him? Really?

[mrswdk]

In most apartments I have lived in there has been a catch inside the front door that when flicked makes the door impossible to unlock from the outside, even with a key.

Some places have a chain that can be placed across the front door, preventing it from fully opening.

Even an old-fashioned bolt lock can be made impossible to open from the outside simply by locking it from the inside and leaving the key in the lock.

Take your pick.

I hope she got the beating she deserves once she opened the door.
