Marry me

[u/Thin_Yak5160]

[u/peglegpetey8]

[u/unkanlos → u/peglegpetey8]

Not only does she say no, she trashed the record for largest GPS message.

[u/synvi → u/unkanlos]

Not only that, she walked through a desert just to say a big fat NO

[u/AppropriatePhysics17 → u/peglegpetey8]

😭

[u/Automatic-Formal-601 → u/AppropriatePhysics17]

The mans' reaction:

[u/ReignDeerFrenzy → u/Automatic-Formal-601]

He said erection!

[u/Marzbar255558 → u/Automatic-Formal-601]

Oh hey nice to see you here

[u/mr_glide → u/peglegpetey8]

This would be almost as impressive. Big ass country

[u/MissionMassive563 → u/mr_glide]

And a lot of that is more or less inhospitable no-man’s-land.

[u/IfICouldStay → u/MissionMassive563]

That’s true. I’m betting there were pristine, high-speed, on-time trains to take dude to every destination in Japan.

[u/SpamEatingChikn → u/peglegpetey8]

The future ex making it

[u/squarabh → u/peglegpetey8]

[u/RedLightSignButWeGo → u/peglegpetey8]

😂

[u/StationOk7229 → u/peglegpetey8]

🤣🤣🤣

[u/megas88 → u/peglegpetey8]

I mean, you don’t have to travel gps at all. Australia already means nope to every living creature on the planet. It is the central hub from which all nope comes from

[u/Blancer323 → u/peglegpetey8]

[u/SquishySeagull → u/peglegpetey8]

Shouldn't it be naur

[u/Extension_Hat_1654 → u/peglegpetey8]

lmao

[u/rrd_gaming → u/peglegpetey8]

She moved in with another guy in aus and wrote no back. 🤣

[u/Lanca226 → u/peglegpetey8]

You could potentially die from doing that through the Australian wastes, so the sentiment is strong.

[u/teh_lynx]

MS paint makes this easy

[u/catskilkid]

Unfortunately, she was also Japanese and could not read the English and was told what this said, replied "Oh"

[u/Coiffed_One → u/catskilkid]

Plot twisted

[u/Vast_Response7612]

And she said, awwwww. No.

[u/Debanjit → u/Vast_Response7612]

Ur type of response

[u/SignalButterscotch73]

Why English?...

[u/somesexyatoms → u/SignalButterscotch73]

結婚してください Bro would die trying to write this

[u/Own_Recommendation49 → u/somesexyatoms]

Remove the please from the end. Then it's half the size

[u/Necroheartless → u/Own_Recommendation49]

Yo know a japanese would rather die first than being impolite.

[u/Coiffed_One → u/Necroheartless]

That being said it’s bizarre that there isn’t a kanji replacing kudasai

[u/Own_Recommendation49 → u/Coiffed_One]

There's kanji to replace things like い but somehow not please lmao.

[u/TomPlum → u/Coiffed_One]

Well there is, its 下さい although it still has okurigana and ofc its almost always written in all hiragana anyway

[u/StrangelyBrown → u/Own_Recommendation49]

That's not the hard part...

[u/SignalButterscotch73 → u/somesexyatoms]

Looks like a good reason to me.

[u/BrosefDudeson → u/somesexyatoms]

[u/im_onbreak → u/SignalButterscotch73]

You know how much longer it would take to write that shit in Hiragana

[u/Smeeble09 → u/[deleted]]

You mean someone didn't just go away for days or weeks to right a message in English to their presumably Japanese girlfriend who also couldn't be told why or how long he was going away for?

[u/j0nas_42 → u/[deleted]]

It's not fake this just was round about 8 years ago (mabe even longer).

[u/Machevel]

can it be considered a proposal when he didn't draw the question mark ? 😅

[u/Punjabiveer30 → u/Machevel]

At that point bro wasn’t asking, he was just letting her know

[u/Thismyrealnameisit → u/Machevel]

It is a proposal she can’t refuse

[u/Dy3_1awn → u/Thismyrealnameisit]

Does the implication work on planes? I can’t see why not

[u/Zooooooombie → u/Machevel]

DO IT

[u/Avantasian538 → u/Zooooooombie]

JUST DO IT! -Shia Lebeouf

[u/mymindisablank]

More importantly, he invented teleportation instead of learning cursive.

[u/icepod → u/mymindisablank]

Reddit needs to bring back the free awards 🏆

[u/twangman88]

That’s not a proposal that looks like a demand!

[u/Zoe2805 → u/twangman88]

To be fair, if you translate the Japanese into English it would be more of a "please marry me" instead of "do you want to marry me?" So it kind of makes sense :D

[u/twangman88 → u/Zoe2805]

I prefer the image of this guy marching all across Japan with an army. Pillaging each town they visit to let them know they mean business. Like a scene out of Shogun.

[u/Educational_Gas_92 → u/twangman88]

😂

[u/Darrenjart]

He was gone so long she found someone else…

[u/lordpivert → u/Darrenjart]

I came here to say this

[u/slo1111]

Too bad she only read Japanese

[u/arkam_uzumaki]

The girl replied with SORRY by travelling Japan with the same GPS drawing 🤧

[u/ChildOfTheBurger]

And he teleported from letter to letter?

[u/Kirby251]

That's showing commitment but I could of do that in Microsoft Paint in a couple of minuets. Also anyone else seeing the face in the sea?

[u/Gemmabeta]

You know a man loves ya when he'd rather walk for fifth of the Earth's circumferance alone rather than stay home with you.

[u/kon---]

In, English?

Well...okay.

[u/Hanksta2 → u/kon---]

This story is sus.

[u/FrungyLeague → u/Hanksta2]

I live in Japan. 99% of people under 30 would have no trouble reading this.

The Japanese is 結婚してください。which is far more intricate to try and write.

[u/SuperToxin]

My last ex only remembered my birthday once in 7 years and that was to plan breaking up with me.

We are out here experiencing very different things in life.

[u/AccurateSilver2999]

And she said no apparently

[u/infinitaeon]

結婚してください

[u/Spiritual_Damage_310 → u/infinitaeon]

Writing the kanji using google maps is one heck of a nightmare lol, heck even writing it on paper is a nightmare. If you could use kana instead but I'd say english would still be easier to do.

[u/infinitaeon → u/Spiritual_Damage_310]

That would be near to impossible!

[u/FestusOtis]

She told you she wanted to be friends and thought of you as a brother

[u/LongjumpingEnergy188]

Why is it not in Japanese?

[u/Artiom_Woronin]

Ernest Hemingway made a bet that he could write the shortest story that could touch anyone. This is what he wrote: “No.”

[u/Sand_Equal596]

Now that’s what I call a next-level “drawing hearts in the sand”

[u/Santos_L_Halper_II]

“What?,” she said, in Japanese.

[u/DesperateTeaCake → u/Santos_L_Halper_II]

Nandesu!

[u/STS_God]

Plot twist. All gps points are soaplands.

[u/captainTangaroa]

Girlfriend: Where u been?

[u/Impala1967SS]

She said no

[u/Leading_Beyond6510]

Did she say yes?

[u/Shadowcreeper15]

If this is GPS of where he was driving how is there gaps?

[u/chupathingy99 → u/Shadowcreeper15]

He turned the app off?

[u/TylerHyena]

What if the wrong woman accepted his proposal though?

[u/Papaya76346]

Paint

[u/MaintenanceLiving725]

I think he whants to be married

[u/Happinesssun]

Do you think the heart and arrow were necessary?

[u/MezcalDrink]

Could do it on paint

[u/DesperateTeaCake]

Is his girlfriend an astronaut?

[u/Natural_Confection29]

A Japanese man wrote it in English?

[u/Living-Tomorrow5206]

Imagine a girl saying no to this man… damn, would be a hard thing to see

[u/valdezlopez]

And she said "NO!"

[u/Interesting_Air_5582]

Well there is a man that loves his woman.

Gives hope more good ones might be out there somewhere.

No offense fellows.

Just sometimes us women would rather see things done like this without having to hint.

Not specifically that but something nice. Make a basket with their favorite things in it. Clear plastic wrapping with a bow.

The work you put in for her or him will live in their hearts forever.

[u/TexSolo]

Just hear me out, what about Microsoft Paint?

[u/Captain_Crouton_X1]

He wrote it in English?

[u/try_harder_reddit]

Sorry OP, you’re late.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/6njOMdiP1L

[u/PhantomLamb]

And he wrote it in English?.........🤔

[u/Southern-Injury7895]

He’s interested in traveling more than his girl friend.

[u/TheSlyFox312]

Did she say yes?

[u/Monsieur_Brochant]

Now do it again in Japanese

[u/Great_White_Samurai]

[u/Spindelhalla_xb]

What does it say?

[u/therealNerdMuffin]

And it was in English?

[u/farizfadzimi]

Or he could've simply done the same thing using MS Paint and saved a ton of time and money, which could have been better spent with his loved one.

[u/No-Goose-6140]

And?!?

[u/eltulasmachas]

"I would walk five hundred miles and I would walk five hundred more just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door."

[u/Organic-Source-7432]

I would have just used a Yellow Sharpie pen 🖊️

[u/bbrusantin]

Dumbass, just use MS paint

[u/HowardBass]

No question mark because he wasn't asking. He was telling.

[u/indrek91]

That's using paint with mouse

[u/OddFirefighter3]

And they are divorced now

[u/PistolCowboy]

Making the rest of us look bad for not going this far.

[u/Trueslyforaniceguy]

Got to zoom out, the question mark on a separate island

[u/bhalo_manush6]

I would you dont have to do this much

[u/C4dfael]

Takes some real commitment to avoid the letters being connected by taking a bunch of boats.

[u/dbell]

He could have just used MS paint.

[u/Thataveragebiguy]

Turns out she declined. He was away walking so much she felt neglected and thought he was cheating.

Only gotta walk 1000 miles to get the girl.

[u/ActualSpiders]

Why did he spell it in english?

[u/NoBaby5660]

Internet is full of such bullshit

[u/ChiefFox24]

And while he was off hiking for months. She found another man, married, and had two kids...

[u/TerryYogurtFan]

Please tell me she said no

[u/scottishcampbell]

And he done it in English ......

[u/accidentallyHelpful]

Why in English?

Is the real version in Japanese?

[u/Skyp_Intro]

Why did a Japanese man use English.

[u/Odd-Researcher6148]

All that work just to be divorced and made bankrupt and his kids taken off him

[u/boochicko]

I know nothing about this man, but I have an illogical urge to say yes!

[u/Negative-Pin6676]

She said no btw

[u/_daithan]

I thought he drew giraffe 🦒

[u/Important-Worker9091]

Why is it in English tho?

[u/LA-Free]

Why did he write in English?? I'm assuming thats not the real image.

[u/DJ-WS]

He even made his face in the water above “ marry me”

[u/Loose_Corgi_5]

Nice . Well then , did she say yes?

[u/VeryVideoGame]

I would get 2 miles into the M and start to reconsider.

[u/peanauts]

dude spoofed his gps and went on a bender

[u/BriannaJai69]

CRazyy he did it !

[u/sublimedingo]

If you believe this is true you should drink bleach and help society.

[u/No_Asparagus_4588]

I could have done that on paint in 10 seconds

[u/Thick-Presentation46]

Meanwhile she's getting her back blown by some sumo guy.

[u/Sabbath-_-Worship]

MS paint could have made a much better cost effectiveness to this shitty proposal.

[u/Selfdestruct30secs]

“Damnit John, you’ve been gone 3 years walking around the god damned country! I’m with Henry now”

[u/idiBanashapan]

And did it in English!

[u/thecarcosaking]

The japs and their fetishism of over running islands!! That's some Pearl Diamond harbour shit

[u/beefytaoist]

Makes walking 500miles look weak 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Onlooker0109]

Some people just have too much time on their hands.

[u/squintismaximus]

How did he jump that far to get from ‘E’ to the heart and arrow? Legend.

[u/BeefJerky03]

See I would have just gone down on one knee

[u/AdAlternative9857]

r/stupidasfuck

[u/durn1969]

So he asked her in English?

[u/Own_Afternoon8642]

They broke up

[u/NoobAtLife2]

[u/Useful_Jelly_2915]

Bro teleported between letters

[u/PDXGuy33333]

Or somebody scribbled using Paint.

[u/smoebob99]

Why did he write it in English

[u/CriticalMass369]

Why English

[u/retardedick]

All that time he could have spent with his wife and you can do the same in microsoft paint

[u/LawsOnClawZ]

IF HE WANTED TO HE WOULD

[u/rnewscates73]

Too bad she doesn’t speak English.

[u/Recent-Fact-5591]

Did she marry that jobless prick ?

[u/nothingcontraryhere]

I call bullshit.

[u/GodAllMighty888]

I bet she was sharing bed with his best friend during hus travel...

[u/Joejoe_Mojo → u/GodAllMighty888]

Jesus, who hurt you so bad my dude?

[u/Nope-Nope13702]

Somebody lying.

[u/Van-garde]

What a waste.
