The Sam Vimes “Boots” theory of socioeconomic unfairness, often called simply the boots theory, is an economic theory that people in poverty have to buy cheap and subpar products that need to be replaced repeatedly, proving more expensive in the long run than more expensive items.
Why do you need so many fake wedding rings?
@GoosLife I used to get them for travel. Basically it deters people from hitting on you.
Side effect I noticed when I bought the gold one and started wearing it all the time was it also seemed to put new work colleagues at ease more quickly.
Aha, okay, that makes sense. So now you got a working repellant device and a cool gold ring? Sounds like a win-win to me.
Also, from the other side of the table, I really do know that feeling of seeing the ring and being a little more at ease, even though it doesn’t make any tangible difference. Like, I wasn’t going to hit on you regardless, but now I know that you know I’ve seen the ring, so you won’t assume I am going to hit on you, if that makes sense. Not that I’ve ever been involved in such a misunderstanding in real life, but it’s still nice to remove the question, I guess.
The finish wore off.
Thank you, senator Collins
