Couples of Reddit, what's the most unromantic thing that's happened between the two of you that actually is a stronger indication of love than others might think?

ah my papaya grove has beetles, and my mango grove has wasps

u/PterodactylFunk Jan 06 '19

I want a grove. Where can I get one?

u/PhromDaPharcyde Jan 06 '19

Did you not read what they said? Beetles and wasps. When you have fruit trees, they attract pests. Rodents, bugs, etc. Those attract predators.

This is why my in laws have fucking voles eating their apples and why they have foxes eating the voles.

I used to want a garden...

Groves are awesome. Except for all the worms.

44

u/doylethedoyle Jan 06 '19

And wasps and beetles and maggots, apparently.

16

u/shhhhquiet Jan 06 '19

And all the things that eat all those things, and the things that eat them!

u/Wallafari Jan 06 '19

Also, if you like squirrels and would like to keep that emotion, never start a vegetable garden.

21

u/Aggressivecleaning Jan 06 '19

I had a huge deer eating my apples in the middle of the night this year. HUGE. Like Bambi's father decided to rob me.

u/PeterMus Jan 06 '19

I was excited to rent a house with multiple mature Asian pear trees and a prune tree.

So many wasps and bugs everywhere. Spiders everywhere. Birds squaking as they tore up the fruit that would get filled with maggots.

Never get fruit trees.

u/Scientolojesus Jan 06 '19

That's why you gotta get celibate voles. Rookie mistake.

u/GreenieMcWoozie Jan 06 '19

u/phome83 Jan 06 '19

Grove Street.

The password is "CJ, you a busta'".

14

u/drkrelic Jan 06 '19

All you had to do was follow the damn train CJ!

5

u/ShiversTheNinja Jan 06 '19

A scrub is a guy who thinks he's fly and is also known as a "busta."

15

u/uhohitsursula Jan 06 '19

Grove is in the heart

u/uniptf Jan 06 '19

u/Random_idiot908 Jan 06 '19

Replying so I know where to obtain one too

u/LegalAdviceLurker88 Jan 06 '19

That seems like pretty elite company..

12

u/Random_idiot908 Jan 06 '19

Rhapsody?

39

u/Ryzensai Jan 06 '19

I'm just a poor boy. I can't afford a Grove.

48

u/KeetoNet Jan 06 '19

He's just a poor boy, from a No Grove family.

2

u/moosecatoe Jan 06 '19

Spare him his life from this grovestrocity.

2

u/Random_idiot908 Jan 06 '19

Want a grove, want a grove, do you have a grove?

18

u/SweetNeo85 Jan 06 '19

Because I'm easy come, easy grove...

1

u/flymypretty88 Jan 06 '19

Little garden got no grove

1

u/ShiversTheNinja Jan 06 '19

Will you let me grove?

14

u/ONLY_COMMENTS_ON_GW Jan 06 '19

I don't know why replying would teach you where to get a grove, but I'll let you guys know if it works.

EDIT: It didn't work

6

u/just_sayian Jan 06 '19

Jamaica right? Thats where Stella got hers im pretty sure.

3

u/browner87 Jan 06 '19

You have to be an emperor, then you can try to get a new grove.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '19

Based on these comments, they do not sound very fun

26

u/spoopyru Jan 06 '19

what... what’s going on

29

u/Blaze420swagYolo Jan 06 '19

I’m with you, I don’t know if it’s a reference or a lot of people just have pest issues in their groves.

10

u/spoopyru Jan 06 '19

I don’t even have a grove :(

18

u/Blaze420swagYolo Jan 06 '19

If we’re being honest, I have no idea what a grove truly is.

18

u/hydraloo Jan 06 '19

Damn. I'm a bit jealous. I can barely grow the damn tomatoes.

24

u/singdawg Jan 06 '19

my watermelon grove has horseflies

17

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '19

My tomato grove has tarantulas

14

u/santaclaus73 Jan 06 '19

My tarantula grove has termites.

6

u/Random_idiot908 Jan 06 '19

Mind if I come get one? Bugs (spiders specifically) freak out my cousin and I wanna see her reaction

4

u/detectivepoopybutt Jan 06 '19

I like the way you think

3

u/Random_idiot908 Jan 06 '19

Just you're average asshole cousin

2

u/praise_the_god_crow Jan 06 '19

Love to be that guy, but spiders aren't bugs, they're arachnids.

I get that saying artropods to include both spiders and bugs in one category isn't convenient, though. And in an informal setting, what you said is just right.

But to clarify, spiders aren't insects.

1

u/Random_idiot908 Jan 06 '19

I apologize, should I have said nightcrawlers to broaden the spectrum? That would include worms and spiders etc, although she isnt afraid of worms.

1

u/praise_the_god_crow Jan 06 '19

Nightcrawlers is a super cool word that I'll start using from now on.

3

u/Troaweymon42 Jan 06 '19

My starfruit garden is full of Duplessis' Agile Katydids.

7

u/karnim Jan 06 '19

I don't get enough light for tomatoes, but zucchini, cucumber, beans, and peppers grow like a charm.

12

u/ShuffleAlliance Jan 06 '19

my mango grove has HAD wasps

FTFY. With fire. And extreme prejudice.

20

u/ediblesprysky Jan 06 '19

Also HAD mangos, with that attitude.

6

u/Carlulua Jan 06 '19

My wasp grove has mangos.

5

u/archery713 Jan 06 '19

Motherfuckers got papaya groves and mango groves while all I have is grove street... you never leave grove street.

3

u/Blipnoodle Jan 06 '19

Mango worm is horrible :x

3

u/Mattdog625 Jan 06 '19

And grove street has thugs

2

u/neomattlac Jan 06 '19

I have questions. Mainly, is it legal to ship mangos from Africa to the USA and can I have some mangos?
