26-year-old man's clown doll collection drives girlfriend to issue ultimatum, demands he redocorate his apartment:"Either get ride of them, or we're done"

Are you scared of clowns? It's pretty common to get the creeps around the once-joyous physical comedians. While clowns and their predecessors – jesters and fools – have always been a bit ambigious in terms of their intentions due to their masked nature, the fear of clowns wasn't that commonplace until the 80s. You can probably imagine why; IT and Poltergeist both hit the mainstream. Not only do we all fear Pennywise, who is in fact, not a clown, but an alien taking the form of a clown, among other things, but these two films kicked off a creepy clown trend that still persists to this day.

I grew up in Mardi Gras land and was a pretty weird child in general, so you better believe I had a collection of jester dolls clad in green, purple, and gold. Our protagonist in our story today also has an affinity for little porcelain clowns, although he takes it a step further by choosing to decorate his entire house with them. The breaking point for his girlfriend's tolerance to his creepy collectibles comes in the form of two venetian masks. Scroll down for the full story.

I totally get it. I have my own collection of Mardi Gras jester dolls. They are a little creepy, I must admit, but that's kind of part of the charm.

It's pretty entitled of her to demand that he change his home for her, especially when she already knew about his interests.
