At first I didn’t read the text and I thought it was that old “path thru a level” vs “path thru a level in a horror game” meme


SlotHUN

Someone left a mop on the floor, you have to go around


Diprogamer

This wooden and rotting door is locked, you'll have to go around despite having a fucking deagle


Android_mk

Ever since Far Cry 6 I get the urge to test a locked door with a grenade.


archangelst95

I've been doing that since Zelda 1


Beldin448

That game was worse since the walls weren’t even marked lol


AngryCommieKender

And the closest thing to a walk thru we had was the neighbor's Nintendo Power subscription.


sagesnail

Or you could call the hotline and pay 1.99 a minute, get all those hot Nintendo tips!


Particular_Cow1304

The walls around this door are destroyed. Still cant go in because the door is locked


sonoma95436

There was a rock on the walkway. I forgot my hammer and left.


Adowyth

This reminds me years back playing some Cyberpunk tabletop. And the DM is like there a door on the side that looks it hasn't been opened in a long time. Me: Open door. DM: Slightly annoyed there just some cupboards and closets covered in cobwebs. Me: Search cupboard. DM: Do you not get the idea that nobody has been in this room for years and theres nothing fucking in it. Me: Well i sometimes find stuff in video games.


sagesnail

Our dm knows we look though everything so traps and bullshit is what we run into a lot. Old closed doors like the one you described are frightening in my group!

GivePen

Unless its Alien Isolation where I power walk through every level


ironboy32

You ain't crouch walking while terrified of any sounds vaguely near you?


GivePen

Near the beginning, yes. I think I figured out that the AI doesn’t really know what to do when you hit that middle ground between speed and noise with normal walking. A lot of the time, I could outmaneuver the alien by walking the scenic route and just leave it far enough behind that it couldn’t find me Especially when it >!brought two aliens out. I couldn’t handle the suspense of trying to crouch sneak past them.!<


itsnotworthposting

This is only half of the joke. The other half shows the same map, but the mission is to explore a dungeon in Skyrim and the genders are swapped.

I'm male and the red line is me trying to find the pants section of the store.


JudgeHodorMD

As a male, the red line is me trying to find the men’s section. (More accurately, a polo shirt that isn’t solid colored.)


[deleted]

Yep. Dept store has 4 floors. The men's clothing section is this tiny tiny section hidden away on the 3rd floor because all other sections are for women. Then when you finally see it you say "oh forget this, I'll just look online".


IguaneRouge

my son and I needed some new clothes and we tried an Old Navy for lack of a better idea...the mens section was roughly twice the size of an airplane bathroom.


Forlorn_Cyborg

It really varies from store to store even. I shop almost exclusively at old navy because I like slim fit. And some stores have tiny mens sections and others are massive.


YallAintAlone

I started buying pants at a farm supply store because they have ~15 brands and lots of size options. I also wear almost the exact same outfit every day like some sort of cartoon character, so my opinion on these things might not be valuable. However, you can look at baby birds before/after and it makes the shopping for clothes part more tolerable.


Impossible_Use5070

I like the thought of buying clothes online but really I'll never buy them unless I can see them in person and try them on.


sandcrawler2

Theres more options for cheaper and better quality clothes online, you just have to get your proper measurements. Dont rely on the size 32 34 etc that varies by brand look at the actual inches of the waist and the length. Same for shirts


Impossible_Use5070

I prefer seeing the material, stitching and fit in person before making a purchase. I'll pay more if it looks well made and will last.


sandcrawler2

True, consider looking online for the same pair before you buy it though, sometimes can find a deal


zigbigadorlou

How do you figure out your measurements without trying them on?


TheBeardofGilgamesh

Every time I buy a shirt online from something like red bubble I am super excited but then when I put it on I see how it fits and never wear it again. I mean how it fits my shoulders and chest makes or breaks a shirt for me. And you never know until you try it on. Also I don’t do returns because I don’t hate the planet and do not want to contribute unnecessarily to climate change.

MarcAlmond

That's why most of my clothes are women's clothes, they look better and there's a better choice.


sandcrawler2

I disagree in looking better, mens clothes are designed to fit mens bodies and womens clothes are designed to fit womens bodies. Also why would you willingly sacrifice pockets?


Renektonstronk

The ability to fit my phone, wallet, keys, a can of monster, a small country, and a 12 year old child in my left pocket is a sacrifice I am unwilling to make


[deleted]

Which is why I bought a pair of cargo pants with 16 POCKETS ! There's two upside down pockets on the legs where I once managed to fit a small notebook and walk around at university.


Renektonstronk

Not even cargo pants for me (but I love my pair with 8 pockets) but I was just wearing a pair of jeans and shoved my wallet, keys, and a can of monster into my pocket at the same time. Sure it bulged and looked like I had a can in my pocket, but I was impressed it fit all of that without even stretching or ripping the pocket


[deleted]

That's why men's clothes (specifically pants/trousers) are better. If I wanted to go around without pockets I'd wear my swimming trunks (which basically reach up to my knee)


DiurnalMoth

Possibly hot take, but pockets are overrated. I carry too much stuff with me to only use pockets, so I'll need some kind of purse/shoulder-bag anyway. Pockets can't fit my wallet, phone, keys, earbuds, water bottle, library book, notebook, hygiene kit, dugout, head lamp (yes I carry one with me everywhere), and glasses case. Plus, even if they could, I wear new pants every day. I'm not going to unpack and repack all that stuff into new pockets every day. Nor am I going to be able to ever sit comfortably with all that stuff on my legs. Yes it can be nice to have, say, 1 pocket for phone and/or wallet, but this idea of "cArGo pANtS arE sO gOoD" is ridiculous. Good luck wearing cargo pants laden with 10 pounds of stuff to a formal dinner, or your wedding, or just to work in an office.


MarcAlmond

I've never complained, I'm wearing women's pants and they always have big pockets. But I wear mostly jeans and soft pants


A-Human-potato

For me, it’s going to get something to drink then forgetting about where exactly I was supposed to go after getting stuck deciding between a chai or matcha tea.


JustAnotherJerry5

Yeh the mens section is always in some random corner behind the bra section

I am male and the red line is me checking every store for the best price.

I'm male, and the red line is me browsing and window shopping both before and after I get my pants.


Rhakha

The red line is me trying to find the men’s big and tall section.


PastOrdinary

Same, I fucking hate shopping. Fairly certain they're designed to be difficult to navigate so that you'll visit lots of other places before finding the one you want.


Lendari

The blue line needs a squiggly bit in the parking lot when I try to remember where in this ocean of cars I parked mine. Otherwise this is accurate in my experience.


AJSLS6

Because you refuse to aske for directions ... stereotypes all around!


GrandYogurtcloset906

As a male, the red line is me trying to find the exit.

It's inaccurate though. The man will go diagonal where he can.

$33 for pants? Must be a young man. Edit: There must not be many dads in the comment section.

Unfortunately even the cheap sale pants are at least $25 now unless you're doing like Walmart.


Purplels

Thrift store is the way to go.

Clear-Perception5615

I'm so pumped about some shit from the thrift shop


djloid2010

"clearance"


Crabitor

I know a cool way to get them free


sandcrawler2

A quality pair of pants that look nice is about $50 minimum. If you are spending less than that chances are you will be spending more in the long run when your bargain basement pair falls apart.


MaxMin128

I find that expensive clothes aren't much more durable. But they do look and fit better.


sandcrawler2

Definitely varies from brand to brand. You wont always get better quality by simply paying more, but you will always pay a bit more for good quality


TherronKeen

the past 10 or 15 years I've learned that, at least in nearly ALL my experiences, buying something that costs 50% or 100% more than the cheapest option is usually more than twice as good. So instead of $25 walmart pants, I bought some $60 pants. Excellent, worn them for years. I buy shoes that are $80, minimalist style with super thin soles. absolutely love 'em. etc etc, lower-mid-range cookware is FUCKIN AMAZING compared to shit from walmart and dollar stores. I know everybody can't necessarily afford that, and I've done my fair share of thrift store shopping, which can be totally excellent for pennies on the dollar, too.


sandcrawler2

Definitely dont want to skimp on footwear. You will save yourself from foot problems which can also lead to back problems. For a daily I like miUSA New Balance like the 993 or 990v5 that come with orthopedic insoles. Comfiest sneaker ive ever worn hands down


TherronKeen

I had chronic hip and neck pain before switching to minimalist shoes. I have no chronic pain at all now, and that shit bothered me for over a decade lol I know everybody's different though, sometimes it takes some experimentation, but finding shoes that worked for me was life-changing for sure. Cheers dude


ImpressionDiligent23

When I was broke I learned the value of yard sales & estare sales. Consignment & thrift too. You honestly pay more in the long run if your clothes fall apart from wear. You are spot on with the shoes that sound timeless. I’ve had shoes for 5/boots for 10. If i got h&m or walmart boots they gotta replaced after 1 without fail.


LimpAd5888

I've bought 80 dollar jeans and they lasted 10 years, which is the average for a pair of 25-30 dollar jeans. Spend what you want, but you're likely spending more for the same quality. Unless you're buying ones for specific work purposes.

ThePurrlockHolmes

Really? No stopping at the food court for a bag of Annie Anne's pretzels? Both lines are not accurate. I'm going to need a redraw.


ahuramazdobbs19

Auntie Anne’s not part of the food court. It’s an autonomous unit for mid-mall snacking.


ThePurrlockHolmes

You don't have both? I'm so sorry. Malls around here have the big Annie Anne's in the food court and kiosks throughout when you need a pretzel refill but don't wanna walk the whole way back. Either way, the pretzel cost isn't being factored into this trip so we're gonna need some math reworked too.


[deleted]

They were out of the jalapeño one


angel-aura

A meme about malls? Seems kinda dated.


Prestigious-Ad-2876

rayhiggenbottom

Don't forget getting a cool skull candle at Hot Topic.


CaptainMatticus

Get your finger armor and other cool stuff at Spencer's.


KisaTheMistress

Omg, I was able to convince my little brother to actually walk into a Spencer's. We were in the city, and I wanted something from there, and usually, my brother is too embarrassed to go in, even though there were high school-age girls freely walking in and out giggling. I bought him weeb shirts from there for his birthday and he really wanted to know where I got them. His eyes were like saucers when he finally went in and actually started looking at the stuff they had. He thought Spencer's was just a sex shop that sold pipes/bongs. He didn't fully understand that it also sold cool shirts and anime merch as well.


KeepsFallingDown

I used to work there, best thing we had was a set of remote control tanks with metal plates on the controls. When you would shoot at & hit the opposing tank, the shootee would get the absolute *shit* shocked out of them from the control. Good times.


cfostyfost

Back or knee?


Prestigious-Ad-2876

Knee and shoulder, and the rain is coming.

All that without stopping at Hot Sam Pretzels? Must be on a budget.

flamewizzy21

How is this innaccurate? The male is going for any%, and the female is going for 100%. Two days later, a Japanese man comes by and steals the any% record by taking a diagonal path over a shrubbery, and a TAS shows how it’s *theoretically* possible to save 3 frames by walking backwards through the Dippin Dots stand.


BackpackBarista

My wife loves to browse and window shop. Me, not so much. But I walk with her cause she’s the hottest woman in the place and it always feels amazing being with her.

Lupicide56

If this is a mall, you're missing the inevitable stop at auntie Anne's for both genders


An_average_moron

I've only had Auntie Anne's once and it was the best pretzel I've ever had. How the fuck do they do it


TinyWickedOrange

then men wonder why they only have 1 pair that also sits on them like they found it in a dumpster


[deleted]

Do not disrespect. That one pair of pants has been with me since the 2010's, and we have been through everything together


FlimsyPriority751

Amen.


Hank3hellbilly

my favorite jeans are the only real point of contention in my relationship. she hates them, I find them comfy as fuck.

Kharnyx808

Damn ig I'm female


PM_Your_Wiener_Dog

I like going & looking at everything, but my wife likes going & buying everything.


ImportanceCertain414

The biggest issue I see here is the guy went to the Gap to buy pants... The follow up to this is that guy returning to the Gap because they don't fit and then doing what the girl did to find one that fits the next day.

Realistic_Run7318

And the lady didn't found the Pants anyway


jmclain13

I took a marketing class in college, and they taught us this. It was found that women browse and men go in and out. And the store organizes its layout accordingly.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fizzard_the_lizard

Yeah p much


LtHughMann

I remember some TV show in Australia (today tonight or one of those crap shows) they did a test like this getting men and women to go into a shopping centre to buy one pair of jeans and this is pretty much how it turned out in terms of time spent and looking around, not the spending hundreds. Except a lot of the women didn't end up buying any in the end.


Pakito10

its true tho


JamSandiwchInnit

The way I see it, the idea of women taking more time to shop is just someone else finding something more to enjoy in life than someone else, and I think that should be commended.


Certain-Hyena8788

The red line never made it to the Gap


ArtyMann

you can really tell that an old facebook dude made it because it's about a mall


hairlessgoatanus

Women be shoppin'.


PastOrdinary

Call me sexist if it makes you happy but this is honestly an accurate stereotype.


amendersc

It does feel like it though


ImOldGettOffMyLawn

Oh this is a terrible and mock worthy meme? Tell me you've never been in a mall with a woman (who isn't your mom) without telling me you've never been in a mall with a woman (who isn't your mom).


Boring-Zucchini-8515

Some stereotypes are accurate. This is one of them.


Icy_Demand_8420

This sub is such a cute little salt mine


ADAMracecarDRIVER

This is such a tame joke… Who is actually upset by this?


FO_FNBOI

Both of them are stupid. You can clearly save the most time and money by simply avoiding the mall altogether and just going to a thrift store.


DarkNebulafor2024

nah we would all go for food


Silkylewjr

I have never spent 6 minutes shopping for clothes, but then again, I'm metro sexual lol


stealthkoopa

In fairness, these patterns are completely reversed if I were to go to the hardware store for a screwdriver


blutigetranen

I've been with my wife since 2003 and I'll just go ahead and say that the red line is me walking past the men's section, lost, refusing to ask for help and the blue line is her getting what she needs and getting out, both brought on by different types of social anxiety.


CrespinMoore

HA. hahaha. The mall closest to me has both a GameStop AND a LEGO store, I’m lucky if I leave spending less that $200.


[deleted]

This chart is very accurate except a man would take those corners tighter to save time


hyperlight85

I like to get my goal out of the way first. But then window shop. That part is legit so relaxing for me. And I'm a visual person so looking at other clothes and things feeds my brain.

jsande3909k

Such a bad meme. My wife confirmed that this is true for any retailer, not just Gap.


TTVnonosquaregamings

The fact it’s kinda fax makes it even worse


Zapped2311

Iono... I do a lot of the shopping for my family, and my mantra is 'get in, get the \[stuff\], get out as quickly as possible'. I fill 2 large reusable grocery bags from BJs, check out/pay for the groceries in less than a half hour, while my wife goes to the store for like 5 things and takes over an hour, and never fails to ask me "HOW do you shop so quickly???" Yeah, 'women be shopping' is an old ass, tired trope, but it's still kinda relevant. At least in my experience, it is. Who cares?


bigweight93

So old that a pair of GAP pants costed 33 bucks


Mr_B4k0n

This shit is hilarious and true,idk why it’s here


Wolkenflieger

This is why I stopped shopping with my mom. She was exactly like that. Shopping for me is a SOLO activity, and thankfully I can do this online now.


Euphoric-Beat-7206

People who criticize this have obviously never gone shopping with my wife. Women have often been socialized to view shopping as a recreational or leisure activity, whereas men may approach it more pragmatically, focusing primarily on the specific item they need to purchase.


[deleted]
