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.

“He’s obviously gay, Claire. He texted you in the morning from a place called Peep Boys. Come on!” Shot in the dark, PEP BOYS?

    At least it wasn’t the Jiffy Lube

  2. Alicia says:

    Okay…I’m totally having a GAM moment, but I do not understand this post. AT ALL.

  3. Lorraine says:

    Obviously Pep Boys. Peep Boys wouldn’t be open in the morning.

  4. Elizabeth says:

    Bwahaha those girls…
    Well, lucky for him Cathy doesn’t seem to like him. xD

  5. Cheyenne says:

    “Pep Boys does everything for less.” My, their slogan doesn’t help this situation in the least bit. Does it?

  6. Kamella says:

    What if instead he had said “Big O” (referring to Big O Tires. I’ve been there…)

  7. Saraha! says:

    Hey, I’m a long-time reader, but a first-time commenter. (I heard that if we mention that, we get a prize.)
    I had a snow day today, and I kept on checking back, hoping for a new DGAM post. So, yay!
    Also, can you just imagine Claire talking to this guy? “I’m sorry, but I can’t be with you, because you’re gay.” “I’m not gay…?” “Hello! PEEP BOYS?! You’re totally gay!” “Um…I have a car…”

    • Charlie McDowell says:

      If I had a nickel for every time I’ve been in that conversation…

      • KimeeFace says:

        I once had a similar conversation with my ex. He ended up being gay. So, they might actually not be too off with this one…

      • Saraha! says:

        1: The fact that you just responded to my comment has made my entire life. (Or, at least my snow day.)
        2: hahaha I’m sure that you’ve been in that situation before…it’s a common one. I’ve known tons of gay guys who hang out at peep boys.

  8. africanandeuropeanswallow says:

    At least it wasn’t jiffy lube….

  9. Sarah says:

    So Charlie…. they talking about you?

  10. Tamara says:

    Maybe now she’ll start treating him like her gay bff. Poor guy

  11. Kenzie says:

    Charlie, don’t you get tired of the “I’m new here, you’re awesome” comments? Oh, and by the way, I’m new here and I think you’re awesome. I’ve come to join the family, just sayin’.

  12. Jillian says:

    Is Pep Boys a west coast thing? I’m an east-coaster (MA) and didn’t understand this one. =[

  13. Anna says:

    Haha, this one could actually not be their fault. What if he accidentally did write ‘Peep’? It’d give me pause as well.

  14. KimeeFace says:

    I wonder if he really meant peep boys. I mean, it’s LA so that is always a possibility.

    Also, Charlie despite the fact that your from LA I imagine you with a very sarcastic tone, and an English accent. Is that odd?

    • sheila says:

      We LA’ers are actually very sarcastic. But majority of us don’t have English accents, so that one is kind of weird, haha.

      • KimeeFace says:

        I know that much, I used to live there. I suppose the English accent part is the strangest part, but I was just saying that’s how I’d imagine Charlie’s voice.

      • Charlie McDowell says:

        My dad is English and I do have a British passport, but unfortunately no accent.

      • Louisa says:

        Is it weird that my mind gives him an english accent…though I am from england so i should know better lol

  15. alexaluvs says:

    This reminds me of Elf when Santa warns Buddy not to go into any strip clubs with the title “Pep Show” because its not Christmas present you get to peak at

    speaking of clubs may I join this one? I read the posts and comments every day but I never comment in fear of saying something stupid

  16. Alessandra says:

    No, that would be too logical.

  17. Fermata says:

    I feel like such a creeper because I know a lot of you guys, but none of you really know me o.O

  18. Andrew says:

    You should check if there’s a peep boys in LA. Theres a lotta homos there, right?

  19. Andrew says:

    Nah I googled it, there’s no peep boys.

  20. Sarah says:

    So. Serious question. Can I call you Chaz? or better yet, The Chaz-oid?

  21. Alicia says:

    Too dumb to realise it was an auto shop, the girls think he is gay,
    Now Cathy won’t go out with him, thank God for him, anyway.
    It’s an advantage for him that they read it wrong; a blessing in diguise,
    Because if Cathy wanted to hang out with me, I think I’d rather die.

    • KimeeFace says:

      Baha, I love this poem. It’s in a tie for my favorite with the one about trees. :]

    • Taylor D says:

      Claire will never again give this John Doe the time of day,
      because Cathy thinks that he’s absoulutely,positively gay.
      What caused Cathy to come up with such a revelation?
      Well it was simply just miscommunication.
      They thought he said he was at Peep Boys,
      a place where there’s gay men and weird sex toys.
      Really he was at Pep Boys, a store you go to for your car.
      It’s become obvious that their minds can’t expand very far.
      Oh well, don’t feel too bad for this John Doe.
      For tomorrow he’ll just call another ho.

    • Andrew says:

      It was actually Claire who wanted to hang out with him

  22. Alicia says:

    • yelyah says:

      that was beautiful! :D

    • Alicia says:

      Woah. I didn’t mean to post that twice. And Taylor, that was amazing!

      • Taylor D says:

        Thanks, I’m so glad you like it:) It’s been a rough week for me so far and I haven’t been able to come on the site the past few days and today I thought it’d be fun to try a poem as a comment, hope you don’t mind. I really enjoyed yours as well, as I always do.

      • Alicia says:

        Of course I don’t mind. It was a really funny poem and I hope your week goes better!

      • Taylor D says:

        Thank you very much:)

  23. Andrew says:

    Hey Charlie quick question, who’s hotter Claire or Cathy?

  24. Sam =] says:

    I’m starting to get depressed because my homework and studying for tests is preventing me from coming on the site. 

    Charlie would it be weird if I asked you to marry me???

    Haha just kidding… Unless you want to… 

  25. Amanda says:

    HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
    Obviously the guy was getting his parts checked(;
    Charlie, what would you do if the girls found out about this? I just hope you don’t have to migrate to the south of France, I heard its supppeeerr bird-y this time of year.

  26. Reba says:

    I got to say I’m in the middle of the Snowpocalyse and reading this while having a Thundersnow is awesome :) and Charlie, i wonder if they ever talk about snow?

    • Bertie says:

      Are you in the States or has it finally hit Ontario? It should be in my area anytime now…
      Yes, Canadians are obsessed with weather, we’ve been talking about this for like the past five days, and everytime I check the news, I’m checking the weather report.

      • Reba says:

        oh im in the States…in Indiana to be more accurate. Canadians are awesome lol, but its so cool to be in a blizzard again with Thundersnow

      • Kayli says:

        i live in texas, and the temperature change from yesterday to today has been approx 50 degrees.
        we haven’t had snow since i was in the fourth grade, so everyone here is up for some serious frolicing if there’s snow on thursday or friday.
        we also plan on ditch sledding. (where i live, that’s the closest we can get to a hill)

      • Reba says:

        how long ago was 4th grade for you ?

      • Kayli says:

        seven years.
        a long time (by teenage standards i suppose)

      • Kayli says:

        or maybe i was a fifth grader, then it would have been six.
        one of the two.
        (like i said, it’s been a while)

      • Reba says:

        wow i was an 8th grader 7 years ago…wow i feel old

  27. Lonely Girl says:

    *snerk* Yes, I do think that he dodged a bullet with that one.

  28. Emma says:

    Do I get officially welcomed if I’m a long-time reader of the posts and all the comments, but few-time commentator?

    Also, Charlie, who’s your favorite commentator? ;) and don’t say Sasquatch.

    • Charlie McDowell says:

      Of course, welcome! Oh I don’t know. I love the whole family we’ve created.

      • KimeeFace says:

        Can I be part of the family? I swear I’ll give you a hotpocket. Scout’s honor.

      • Liz says:

        Good family. I love you all. :D

      • Sam =] says:

        Aww I hope I’m still part of the family since I haven’t posted in a while. Schools been crazy so I’ve been studying non stop for tests and such.

        And if my emojicons show(the pictures) then I can proudly say I’ve already given you a ring. 
        On my marry me comment. 

  29. Fliss says:

    I love everyone too. But I’m not family, just the strange creep at the window :)

  30. Jenna says:

    Thanks for the clarification! I’m from NZ and I was feeling a little out of the loop on this one!

  31. CaseyMacey says:

    Hi! I’m a long-time reader first-time commentor. These stories from Charlie and comments from the readers make me laugh so hard! The GAMs don’t know what laughter, joy, and sarcasm they bring to the world! haha

  32. ChelsLynn says:

    Alicia — Do you know who Sarah Lancaster is? For some reason I always picture that you look like her.

    • Alicia says:

      We have the same hair color/length, but mine’s curly. I’m Spanish, but no one believes me when I tell them because I act like the whitest person on the planet.

      • KimeeFace says:

        I was raised in Mexico [though my family is also Spanish] but people don’t believe me because of my lisp when I speak Spanish. I stick to English, and let everyone think I’m white.

  33. Allie says:

    I felt the need to come out and say I’m another long-time reader but first-time commentor. This website gets me through my work day, it’s amazing.

    Also, Charlie is any chance you were in DC this morning? If so, I’m really sorry for almost hitting you in the crosswalk.

  34. Amy says:

    Charlie, I don’t think I’ve seen you respond to so many of the comments from one post

  35. Liz says:

    Wow, I think this is one of my favorites so far. Half because that’s a funny mistake, and half because… what if they really ARE right, and he is at Peep Boys? Then what?!

    • Jake says:

      We spend the next seven months dealing with the Girls insecurities about being a “Gay Oven” and their umbridge at the fact that there are men in this world who are unaffected by the powers of their boobs.
