Five items men should never wear, ever again

Take a good, long look at your closet, gentlemen.

Are there things there that you’re holding onto, just in case you may need it one day?

Old Halloween outfits, sports jerseys from old softball teams you played on? Concert t-shirts for bands that have since broken up, that you can wear un-ironically for those jaunts to hipsterville?

You know we’re judging you when you wear that shirt from the 1996 Olympics. We’re all wondering why you’re wearing a shirt (a t-shirt, at that) that’s over 15 years old. We get it. You were there. 15 years is a long time to keep a t-shirt around; maybe it’s time for you to clear your closet out of some of that crap. Besides, how many of those shirts do you really need?

When was the last time you visited a laundromat?

Here’s a better question: if you have a washer and dryer at home, would you ever find yourself with a need to go to a laundromat ever again?

Web Watch would say, “yes, you can find reason to go to a laundromat even if you have a perfectly fine washer and dryer at home.”

Let us explain…

Take the Live Free Challenge for a year: Don’t buy your kids anything

Hattie Garlick has a plan.

For 2013, she decided on a unique New Year’s resolution, to try to raise her son Johnny as cost-free as possible for a year.

That’s right — she’s not going to spend any money for anything that’s specifically geared towards her 2-year-old son.

What’s more practical than a Star Wars Princess Leia Bikini?

We’re now deep into New Year’s Resolution time, with the most popular resolution being “to lose weight”.

And what better way to motivate your man (or your woman) than encouraging with a “if you meet your goal, I’ll / You’ll wear THIS” reward?

Hey, for the movie nerd in your life, that’s the best kind of motivation there is! It’s all about gamification.

How To shopping Travel

The one non-negotiable item you MUST pack in your suitcase

Web Watch was on a trip recently, and as we often do, we found ourselves chatting with others in the airport.

And we sometimes find ourselves inquiring about people’s destinations and plans. You know, to live vicariously through others ont their adventures.

One couple, for example, was on a month-long tour of Australia and New Zealand, and they were travelling lightly through the airport – as they shipped their luggage overseas to meet them at their hotel upon arrival (it was less expensive overall than flying with the oversized/overweight bags, and they already had confirmation that their bags were waiting for them).

Another person was going to spend a week in San Diego on business, and he was travelling with just his oversized computer bag. He claimed that he had everything he needed in the one case for a week; he prefers to travel with as little complication as possible.

WHAT DO MEN WANT FOR CHRISTMAS?

It’s a commonly-asked question. If you believe retailers, all men want during major gift-giving season are the following:

Desk toys
Remote controls
Toys with remote controls
Other stuff that requires batteries
Underwear

These are the types of things that get stacked up in the Men’s departments of various stores, and women are expected to buy these crappy-plastic items in the hopes of pleasing their needy, child-minded partners.

Your Office Underwear Checklist

Post author By web gangsta
Post date December 19, 2012

The other day, Web Watch was walking through an office when we – literally – stumbled upon an unusual sight: on the floor in the middle of the hallway was a crumbled pair of women’s underwear.

Hallway panties, as it were.

Nobody was around that location at the time, although this was the middle of the morning and the office was thriving in other parts of the building. And yet there that underwear lay, waiting for its owner to come back.
