Charlie covering his ears
Two annoying girls moved into the apartment above me.
I'm forced to hear every dumb thing they say.
These are my letters to them.

“How much did that gluten stuff in food cost before they made it free?” Oh man, you don’t even wanna know.

    hahaha. Love it.

  2. Jessica says:

    The funny things is food with out gluten cost more because it’s harder to make

    • pb says:

      not so much harder to make, just a smaller market. and because it’s a necessity they can get away with charging much more. it’s a real frustration for us coeliacs.

      • Trippetta says:

        Well it’s tougher to make things that taste good/ have the expected texture when they’re gluten free. Plus, some specialty ingredients necessary to make a good gluten free food can cost more. Thankfully, with the recognition of gluten intolerance, the market for gluten free food is actually increasing. Also: I LOL’d.

  3. Jena says:

    I for one would like to hear you try to explain it! Ha! Or at least be there when someone tells them!

  4. sarah says:

    Are they really that dumb?

  5. HAL-9000 says:

    I’m afraid I can’t tell you that, GAM.

  6. Robynnn says:

    Hahah! I wanna know!
    Btw hi Charlie! :)

  7. Helewidis says:

    This one I had to read twice. I can’t believe you’re not making up this shit! This is impossible. I can’t believe they really exist!

  8. Kristi says:

    OMG. I LOVE this blog charlie! Kudos to you man for stickin it out! BTW this one is especially great cause it is just so darn stupid. I think first we need to establish a base. Can they read at all?

  9. GAM Defender says:

    How often does one say something and the other corrects her?

  10. angel says:

    Hahahaha. Wow, I love this one! The girls have reached a new high in the GAM charts.

    Do they ever wonder the same thing about fat-free products?

  11. Lauren says:

    *shaking head* I actually pity these poor girls…

  12. Grace says:

    Man, I was breaking the bank trying to cover food expenses before that gluten stuff was free…
    These girls… Oh, the curse/blessing they’ve been to you, Charlie, ahahaha.

  13. trendywendy says:

    I definitely used to think fat-free stuff had some kind of discount… when i was like six. Let’s just pretend the GAM are six.

    • Rose says:

      I’d rather not imagine they were six… The Haylie Duff pillow incident would have a totally new meaning if we imagined that the girls were six years old.

  14. Kalie says:

    You know, I heard that gluten cost you your first born child before they started giving it out for free. Hahaha silly GAM, I can’t believe they didn’t know that.

  15. Marie says:

    Haha! Another day another laugh! Love you, Charlie. <3

  16. bren says:

    ….how are they still alive? Sometimes I wonder though, is one of them saying more of these things than the other, or is it more of a roommate-soul mate kind of situation?

    • Alex says:

      You’re not alone. This question has been asked many times before. To answer it, they’re both equally as dumb.

  17. Lauren says:

    Wow I can’t believe that the actually said that! I’ve been reading for a long time but this is the first time I’ve commented. Thanks for making my long day better Charlie!

  18. Alex says:

    Bahahaha! Hmmmm, I guess that means they don’t have allergies or they’d understand.

    Does anyone think it’s sad that, every morning when I turn on my laptop, my first though is ‘I wonder if Charlie’s posted?’

    • Allora says:

      Nope, not sad, I check at least once a day :)

    • angel says:

      Hahah. Since I’m on the other side of the world, that’s my last thought before I turn off my laptop to go to sleep.

  19. pb says:

    these girls better never work in anything related to food service. i’m a coeliac and in a world of pain if i eat any gluten (as in curled in the foetal position world of pain) so i seriously worry about how well informed waiters and cooks are.

    • Jess says:

      I have my own food allergies, so I can definitely relate. The idea that that these girls even know what a job is, is a scary thought. I mean, I first came across GAM over a year ago-they are pretty ridiculous. Which is why I keep coming back.

      Sorry, Charlie. Its to be amazed by their stupidity and not just for your comments.

    • Mephistopheles says:

      I don’t think that they will work, ever.

    • Savannah says:

      This is exactly why I never eat out. I can’t trust that waiters and cooks will make my food the way I need it to be for my allergies.

  20. lauren says:

    This blog a) reminds me why I don’t live in LA anymore, b) kinda makes me miss living in LA and c) almost made me choke on my glass of wine. You win.

  21. Ali says:

    What I want to know about these girls is… How do they shop? Like… Do they just go to the store and throw everything in their cart that looks good, and then just hand over a credit card or wad of cash and, like… just expect the cashier to take care of it for them?

    • Jack West says:

      Well seeing that daddy’s money already pays for a maid, they either have someone shop for them or more likely eat out/have takeaways for every meal. GAM cooking is a scary thought.

      • Lucie says:

        GAM cooking? Didn’t they set a casserole on fire once?

      • Ali says:

        Ah, yeah. Makes sense.

        “OMG, CLAIRE! My nail came off while I was cooking! We HAVE to fix this, RIGHT NOW.” Then, they’d go off to the salon with the oven on. Luckily, Charlie would be their hero, as he smelled something burning (Though, he knew they left with the oven on in the firstplace), grabbed the nearest fire extinguisher, and saved the whole place! : D

  22. Picturesofsky says:

    You know, a lot of these comments sound like they’re joking with each other – messing around with each other. Since no context is given, it could be either way, right?

  23. ohmygodd says:

    this can not be real life.. i refuse to believe it.

  24. AVPM says:

    They’ll be ecstatic when they see foods with “Fat free” or MSG free”

  25. sanepete says:

    YOU TOTALLY MADE THIS ONE UP!!!

  26. Ylva says:

    But honestly, this is not weirder than the “Obama’s been found dead in Iraq”.

    It’s sweet that Gluten (free) products have finally reached the GAM. Got curious – do McDonalds have gluten free bread in the US?

  27. Laurie says:

    No fucking way.

  28. Ev says:

    Gluten costs an arm and a leg. Gluten free costs an arm, leg, and eye. Ask me how I know… Sigh.
