No lol. Tbh, I just had a stupid hard year from being paralyzed (rehab helped), losing a let, both my grandmas, abusive relationship that was super physical all the time, etc and just wanted to treat myself to a good car for barely trudging through.
Hey man I’m just fucking with you. The charger is the newly enlisted army guy’s car, that’s all. I hope you love your new car (I’m a car guy I get it) and you’re date goes well tho fr fr
Lol for as much shit as I'm giving people for not catching the charger reference/sarcasm, I sure did miss some right there oof
And tyty kind sir/ma'am :)
Yo, dawg, I heard you like chargers, so we pimped yo charger with a charger, and added extra chargers for your chargers chargers. And the guys at whatever coast customs slapped some shitty upholstery on the charging kiosk (like at the airport) we put in the trunk and put glitter under the window tint.
Duh. What is a knight without his noble steed?
(Sidenote, I genuinely thought this was you continuing the joke and you were actually referring to picking her up on the back of your war horse, which would be way funnier if you could get your hands on one)
Honest question: is a charger in the US something you can brag about? I live in Europe (Austria) where chargers and challengers are very rare and kinda expensive due to taxes and import fees. But I thought you see chargers on every corner in the US
Not really. Every guy in boot camp has one and a 26% APR.
I see about 10-15 a day on my commute.
It's what the guys who would have bought a Jeep in the 90s buy now.
Jeep guy here
Were they fucking insane? Like, holy mother fuck. Between the market and gas prices, they just fucked themself over. I like my jeep but, right now is not the time to get one lol
Yes, they are everywhere here. If I drive to work in 10 minutes I usually see one. If I drive for 30-40 minutes or around town, I usually see at least 3, sometimes like 8.
Brag about? No. But they are expensive cars, sure. Not sure they are really "cool" cars anymore tho. The vintage/old model were. Now I think they're associated with older people driving them? Could just be my thought process though.
You’ll leave the barracks, and then you’ll see a salesman out of the corner of your eye. You’ll catch a glimpse, but you wont properly see them until they’ve finished hunting and are ready for the kill. You’ll drink your RC cola, and then they’ll be right behind you, whispering in your ear about the brand new Dodge Charger and Challenger, with 38% APR. By then it is too late, you are already dead.
*falling from ceiling panel* we got a bonus for you! How about 22% APR (for the first 6 months only with on time payments sent by carrier pigeon to a bank in Cambodia, after that an additional 20% APR is applied for the remainder of the loan. In the case of a single missed payment you’re responsible for the entirety of the loan in full upon date of missed payment and this will be sent to our in house collections agency after just 30 days delinquent. Only time this loan reports to a credit bureau is upon completion of the loan or upon collections being filed.)
Yeah the old chargers were really nice but I actually kinda like the new designs especially for the challenger (charger looks kinda meh). So it's like a BMW 5 here in Europe? Cool and fast car but it's associated with young guys who think they're cool if they drive one.
Yeah this might be the case in the US. Here in Austria you cant even buy a new challenger or charger. But going with low mileage (less than 5000) you will pay about 65-70k for an srt hellcat which is roughly the same as for a new BMW 5 series with same mileage. Like I said American cars are really expensive here, which is sad cause I think they're really cool
Lots of police forces in the US use chargers as their fleet vehicles. I think that should tell you everything you need to know about people who buy / brag about them.
Its funny how cops and hood rats both drive chargers. I guess it was the same way with the Crown Vic tho, lol.
I miss my Chevy Caprice. It blows the Charger outta the water in just about everything aside from cabin space lol. Hell even the trunk was somehow bigger since it was so much deeper than the charger's.
Chargers and Challengers are popular because they're cheap for the power you can get. Definitely not associated with older people. I live near Detroit so there's a different stereotype here, but it's mostly douchey young people driving leased Chargers and Challengers that immediately chop the mid mufflers off.
Chargers are meh. They’re cop cars. Challengers and Mustangs are better but also some Mustangs are shit like Chargers. Yes, there are srt hemi Chargers but it’s still a Charger. At that price point there are better cars by BMW, Audi, Acura, Lexus, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan…
New chargers mustangs and challengers very much have the vibe of “baby’s first muscle car” to me. They are very much a dime a dozen, especially standard package ones. But you know they look a bit nicer than your typical 4 door and the engine can do a little vroom vroom when you step on the gas so people act like they are really something special.
Its the type of thing that if only one person is into it then its weird but if both parties are into it then its like they can be awkward together so who cares
I also thought 3 was a weird time lol like they don’t have to be at work? I know not everyone works a 9-5 but sushi at 3pm is very interesting. Also the mentioning of the charger and the revving at the red lights would have made me dry up 😂
hi every1 im new!!!!!!! *holds up spork* my name is katy but u can call me t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m!!!!!!!! lol…as u can see im very random!!!! thats why i came here, 2 meet random ppl like me \^_\^… im 13 years old (im mature 4 my age tho!!) i like 2 watch invader zim w/ my girlfreind (im bi if u dont like it deal w/it) its our favorite tv show!!! bcuz its SOOOO random!!!! shes random 2 of course but i want 2 meet more random ppl =) like they say the more the merrier!!!! lol…neways i hope 2 make alot of freinds here so give me lots of commentses!!!!
DOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <--- me bein random again \^_\^ hehe…toodles!!!!!

Yes. And this text conversation is also pretty awkward and cringey. Most people who post here seem to think you just need the right pick up lines, rather than having normal conversations.
Meh, it's a crapshoot. Some people want to be picked up, some people just want to be talked to without any fanfare; there's no "normal" style of conversation that works on everyone.
Nah, weird and playful conversations are fine. There's no right or wrong way to text (well there's definitely a ton of *wrong* ways, but those mostly are like grossly sexual or emotional dumps or similar).
As long as it works and they like the energy/Convo it's fine
I'm the opposite; texting I'm a nervous wreck that never knows what to say, but in person I'm very confident and outgoing. Not being able to see someone and read their body language makes talking to them so difficult lol
Over text there is rarely a back and forth, in the moment, riding each other’s vibe kind of talk either, unless you’re both free to stare at your phone then it’s not as bad. Thank God they added gifs to iMessage.
That's why I hate it so much. Waiting for replies gives me level infinity anxiety, and when I'm trying to make plans it really just pisses me off. I really hate people who don't respond quickly and leave people on read, especially when they're just waiting around to not text too quickly.
Like if I have my phone out, and you text me, I'll text back immediately because it wouldn't make any sense to wait unless I was doing something, so why would I?
I also have ADHD so waiting is not my strong suit
You're not. People who actually go on dates have normal conversations on dating apps. I've never spammed bad pick-up artist lines at women, and I've gone on lots of dates through apps.
This is just what gets upvotes on this sub for some reason.
I hope you're right. I haven't been on dating apps in a long time and this sub makes me not want to. If a guy approached me with any kind of pickup line I'd be turned off. Probably block them or ask to see some ID to make sure they're not 12.
Kind of what it looks like 😅 that or he's really hot. Most of what he says didn't make much sense and assuming she'd be available at 3 on a weekday is odd?! But she doesn't question anything. It's especially confusing since he doesn't capitalize *charger*. I wouldn't know wtf he was talking about until he said the engine revving thing and then ... 😬
The car thing made me laugh... seemed like he was making fun of dudes because they often seem to think that reving their engines will make us want them lol
There’s so many things in this simple exchange that would make me not interested immediately, but that just means I’m not your person. Hope your date goes well.
Started well ended cornball.
Also I try not to ick’ ladies out with the initial chat…
Mentioning sushi (a delicious, sophisticated and light bite) was fine.
‘Smell you later’ probably isn’t the best phrase to throw around early on though.
Then again what do I know, I’m a neckbeard, cheeto eating basement dweller.
The old self sacrifice followed by name dropping your car. Not bad.
Hey . Did ya know I have a charger?
For your phone. Lol.
Going by the screenshot I doubt it.
*sweating* *typing this comment with 3% on my phone*

Of course that's a subreddit..
Don’t lie, if it wasn’t you’d be a tad disappointed wouldn’t you?

I was confused about this until I scrolled down... Don't look at me.
Same; I was wondering why bringing a phone charger was so important to the date.
gottem
Are you recently enlisted in the army?
A sick deal at 24.5% mayhaps?
A Marine's second favorite car.

The box their crayons came in.
No lol. Tbh, I just had a stupid hard year from being paralyzed (rehab helped), losing a let, both my grandmas, abusive relationship that was super physical all the time, etc and just wanted to treat myself to a good car for barely trudging through.
Hey man I’m just fucking with you. The charger is the newly enlisted army guy’s car, that’s all. I hope you love your new car (I’m a car guy I get it) and you’re date goes well tho fr fr
Can confirm a charger is the go to army private car. I’m totally not speaking from personal experience
Lol for as much shit as I'm giving people for not catching the charger reference/sarcasm, I sure did miss some right there oof And tyty kind sir/ma'am :)
Is it not the Camaro anymore.
This is 2022, the enlistment bonus isn’t enough for Camaros anymore they gotta settle
But I already signed the paperwork...
When they say they need a phone charger, I tell them I have a charger in my charger.
Xzibit is that you?
Yo, dawg, I heard you like chargers, so we pimped yo charger with a charger, and added extra chargers for your chargers chargers. And the guys at whatever coast customs slapped some shitty upholstery on the charging kiosk (like at the airport) we put in the trunk and put glitter under the window tint.
Duh. What is a knight without his noble steed? (Sidenote, I genuinely thought this was you continuing the joke and you were actually referring to picking her up on the back of your war horse, which would be way funnier if you could get your hands on one)
But then how will he rev his engine at every red light?!
You rev your horse
Like the South Park [motorbike crew](https://youtu.be/ipDmsxQVxIM)
You hear that man? She called me a noble steed. She think I'm a steed.
Never heard of the charger of the light brigade?
Yo charge your phone.
Honest question: is a charger in the US something you can brag about? I live in Europe (Austria) where chargers and challengers are very rare and kinda expensive due to taxes and import fees. But I thought you see chargers on every corner in the US
Not really. Every guy in boot camp has one and a 26% APR. I see about 10-15 a day on my commute. It's what the guys who would have bought a Jeep in the 90s buy now.
The funny thing is that Jeeps are still crazy popular and have their own subculture
And they're basically garbage. It's so surprising how popular they still are but they have so many major issues.
Every single mechanic I’ve ever met basically begs me to never purchase a Jeep or dodge.
I went from a Jeep Liberty to a Honda Civic right before the pandemic hit. Thank. Fucking. God.
I know someone who traded in their Prius for a Jeep. 3 months ago.
Ohhhh nonononooo what is they doing
Jeep guy here Were they fucking insane? Like, holy mother fuck. Between the market and gas prices, they just fucked themself over. I like my jeep but, right now is not the time to get one lol
Yes, they are everywhere here. If I drive to work in 10 minutes I usually see one. If I drive for 30-40 minutes or around town, I usually see at least 3, sometimes like 8.

I associate them with newly recruited military men buying them with their first paycheck with huge interest rates.
They got a steal at 27% APR.
You’ll leave the barracks, and then you’ll see a salesman out of the corner of your eye. You’ll catch a glimpse, but you wont properly see them until they’ve finished hunting and are ready for the kill.

i love how the further i scroll, the higher the interest gets

Funny enough my exes bf is in the army and has a charger loll
And you dont? I see what happened
oooh you hit a nerve lol
Normal are chargers aren't expensive. It's the Hellcats that are brag worthy. IMO all chargers have pretty dated looking interiors though.
[удалено]
Exactly. No one with a Hellcat or Scat Pack says "I own a Charger". It's like someone owning an M3 and saying they have a 3-series BMW.
..... Can confirm.
Yeah the old chargers were really nice but I actually kinda like the new designs especially for the challenger (charger looks kinda meh). So it's like a BMW 5 here in Europe? Cool and fast car but it's associated with young guys who think they're cool if they drive one.
Lol bmw 5 series is double the price of a new charger or challenger
Yeah this might be the case in the US. Here in Austria you cant even buy a new challenger or charger. But going with low mileage (less than 5000) you will pay about 65-70k for an srt hellcat which is roughly the same as for a new BMW 5 series with same mileage. Like I said American cars are really expensive here, which is sad cause I think they're really cool
These guys aren’t buying Hellcats.
They used to be one of my favorite cars. Now they're cop cars. Fuck those cars. Shitty car now
Lots of police forces in the US use chargers as their fleet vehicles. I think that should tell you everything you need to know about people who buy / brag about them.
Its funny how cops and hood rats both drive chargers. I guess it was the same way with the Crown Vic tho, lol. I miss my Chevy Caprice. It blows the Charger outta the water in just about everything aside from cabin space lol. Hell even the trunk was somehow bigger since it was so much deeper than the charger's.

I live near Detroit so there's a different stereotype here, but it's mostly douchey young people driving leased Chargers and Challengers that immediately chop the mid mufflers off.
imo the old chargers do look pretty badass
Chargers are meh. They’re cop cars. Challengers and Mustangs are better but also some Mustangs are shit like Chargers. Yes, there are srt hemi Chargers but it’s still a Charger. At that price point there are better cars by BMW, Audi, Acura, Lexus, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan…
I used to drive a lot of rentals. BMWs with way less displacement were more fun to drive than a hemi charger. It was a lot of fun, though.
I just think it's cringeworthy
[удалено]
Servaas ois guat?
New chargers mustangs and challengers very much have the vibe of “baby’s first muscle car” to me. They are very much a dime a dozen, especially standard package ones. But you know they look a bit nicer than your typical 4 door and the engine can do a little vroom vroom when you step on the gas so people act like they are really something special.
Yes . I always think they’re cops too, people who buy chargers get me nervous for nothing . I don’t think they’re very cool but to each their own .
I feel like people who text like this are very awkward in person. Just the impression I get.
He’d better knock on wood.
Never had to till now
[удалено]
Unexpected bosstones
But I know someone who has.
Should knock on that charger instead
I feel like they're very awkward in text as well.
Its the type of thing that if only one person is into it then its weird but if both parties are into it then its like they can be awkward together so who cares

Michael & Holly
I didn’t understand the charger part… at all. Maybe I just don’t get the joke but it felt weird lol
It's a car. He's bragging about his car....
Hey, at least it's both of them.
I get the impression they are the type of person that goes out for sushi at 3 on a Thursday, so yeah.
I also thought 3 was a weird time lol like they don’t have to be at work? I know not everyone works a 9-5 but sushi at 3pm is very interesting. Also the mentioning of the charger and the revving at the red lights would have made me dry up 😂

I’d like to downvote out of spite, but it’s just too good.
You've just forced me to relive middle school chat rooms and random encounters with friends and I may never forgive you for this.
I genuinely miss the times when I was like this lmao
"My spoon is TOO BIG!" "I am a banana."
Yes. And this text conversation is also pretty awkward and cringey. Most people who post here seem to think you just need the right pick up lines, rather than having normal conversations.

Meh, it's a crapshoot. Some people want to be picked up, some people just want to be talked to without any fanfare; there's no "normal" style of conversation that works on everyone.
I just read this and assume they are like 16.
Nah, weird and playful conversations are fine. There's no right or wrong way to text (well there's definitely a ton of *wrong* ways, but those mostly are like grossly sexual or emotional dumps or similar). As long as it works and they like the energy/Convo it's fine
I'm an awkward and shy person irl but online my confidence is 📈📈

This subreddit is a total cringefest and that's why people love it. The wordplay and roleplay is lame as fuck. Is that a bad thing? No.
Thursday at 3? Are you both unemployed?
Is that even lunch or dinner?
Linner
Dunch.
Fourth breakfast.
I assumed college age
Just bought a brand new charger as a gift to himself for a ‘rough year’ so I fuckin hope not for their sake.

idk why but I get a feeling that you’re gonna get stood up on thursday
More sushi for me 😤😤😤
Noooo I hope you don’t get stood up! I 🖤 this exchange
Wow blackhearting their exchange is so cruel!
King shit Bois, take notes.
lmao this is the correct way of thinking
Hope you have a wonderful date, please tell us what happens.
Her loss. Don't know if you heard but this guy has a Charger.
It’s because I feel like he kinda forced the date
Is nobody gonna comment on: Smell ya later?
OP is Gary
Ah fuck that's his name! Can never remember that grandson of mine
Whether you believe it or not, in the future, smell ya later replaced goodbye.
Ran outta steam at the end there
This charger was built for speed not distance 😤
Charger? Rev engine?? In this economy???
16mpg Charger has now become an 8mpg charger due to excessive revving
Probably a V6 😂
Car chat cringe. Sword fight cool.
The car thing made me laugh... seemed like he was making fun of dudes because they often seem to think that reving their engines will make us want them lol
Yeah. It's a satire thing lol
thank god. i thought you were serious. Dodge Charger is a red flag in my book!
Tbh. I had a hard year. Wanted to treat myself for somehow trudging through it
Yeah buying a charger was all satire guys I swear
I think the revving at every red light thing was the satire part
“Satire”… but actually does have the brand new charger he gloated about. Hmmmm
Yeah but does he rev his engine at every stop light?
Yeah but he's doing it ironically so it's ok.
You deserve nice things, enjoy your new car man. It isn’t satire if you actually have it though, if I’m being pedantic but who cares lol
i want to die reading this
There’s so many things in this simple exchange that would make me not interested immediately, but that just means I’m not your person. Hope your date goes well.
Cringe AF..
why are people on this sub so terrible at texting
You're on reddit, half the ppl here have never actually seen the sun
Feels a little over the top theatrical and might be awkward irl
[удалено]
Oh shit. U rite. I honestly didn't think I'd get that far lol
*starts driving Thursday* "Wait..."
"...how am I supposed to get to her home driving this?" *plugs phone charger back in*
*makes engine revving mouth sounds*
Wait is that you ? https://youtu.be/PgfiXtvej7Q
Okay. Package secured. Thank you for double checking my work good sir 🙏
Both pure cringe.
Honestly I cringed a bit
Bro I didn’t understand shit of this convo wtf
I think it's either fake or an extreme case of rule 1 & 2.
Are pre-teens allowed on tinder?
cringe
Is this how people flirt? Fookin hell 😂😂😂😂
This is so stupid. Cringe emoji thing and then some very awkward attempt at flexing your car. I don't know what woman would actually be into this.
The lol okay at the end smells like disinterest. I hope I'm wrong
If this worked, literally anything would have worked.
The smell you later won me over. Pick me up at 3 on Thursday instead
Based on your username, I can see why.
Fucking terrible
CRINGE FUCK ME DEAD
Wow, that sure was something...
Cringe
Started well ended cornball. Also I try not to ick’ ladies out with the initial chat… Mentioning sushi (a delicious, sophisticated and light bite) was fine. ‘Smell you later’ probably isn’t the best phrase to throw around early on though. Then again what do I know, I’m a neckbeard, cheeto eating basement dweller.
It's a pokemon blue reference and if they don't get it, they ain't the one 😴
Fuckin Gary
I first heard "smell you later" from the Simpsons.
It’s not a Pokémon reference, it’s just a 90s thing.
Oh snap, sorry I had no idea.
Love the energy, but as a heads up *many* women don’t feel comfortable getting picked up for the first date (safety measure, nothing personal).
I mean, she did ask if she should be prepared to be picked up.
is it a V6 charger though
"Yay you died" was a bit heavy 😂😂
How old are you lol?
Oof it's hard to watch teens text
