I thought the sex toy shops were unrelated to the last two shops - that she just did something ''re-e-e-eally'' stupid with the gizmos and power tools that landed her in the burn ward. Also, who's to say Robert didn't turn off Latitude? His schedule has some pretty big blanks. Anonymous 06:51, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

:If Megan was buying a drill so she could put up shelves, that kind of destroys the joke.  Why should she need to be discreet about that?
 
 
 
:Also, I think that Robert's simple schedule of home / school / subway is a small joke about reversed expectations.  A usual joke about how men spend their time (while on the internet, for example) might show a preponderance of sexually-related activity.  Here, Randall has attributed the sexual experimentation to Megan instead.  [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.223|108.162.219.223]] 00:48, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
 
 
 
My take on this is that Megan went to the two last stores to improve her toys, as several xkcd comics deal with DIY stuff. {{unsigned ip|108.162.254.163}}
 
 
 
:I was thinking that as well: she was trying to {{w|Home Improvement (TV series)|"Tim Taylor"}} her sex toys, and got about the same results ''he'' would. --[[User:Aaron of Mpls|Aaron of Mpls]] ([[User talk:Aaron of Mpls|talk]]) 10:59, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
 
 
 
Perhaps the title text is a reference to the previous comic about the android girlfriend?[[Special:Contributions/173.245.50.84|173.245.50.84]] 21:29, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 
:Fortunately for him, Black Hat knows how to avoid SQL injection, so he didn't lose his database when he added Little Bobby Table ;-)

::Probably this did not happen because there is no real reason to assume it is Bobby, rather Cueball and Robert in this comic is the same and thus making Cueball here = [[Rob]]. But that is also just guess work. Have corrected explanation and removed Bobby category. (But not added Rob) --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 16:26, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 
 
 
According to the explanation (and logical spelling), Robert's schedule is clearly "Home, School, Subway". So why does the explanation say "Home, Schoo, Subwa"? --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|JayRulesXKCD]] ([[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|talk]]) 17:48, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 
:And yes, before you say it, I know that's where it ends in the comic, but still. Oversight, I guess? --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|JayRulesXKCD]] ([[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|talk]]) 17:50, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 
::I'm not sure if you mean in the transcript, because in that only what is actually written should be there. The full words are used above in the explanation, but should still be cut off as they are in the transcript. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 13:16, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 
 
 
I added this comic to Category:Comics featuring Rob because it mentioned Robert in the app. Undo this if it should not be. [[User:625571b7-aa66-4f98-ac5c-92464cfb4ed8|625571b7-aa66-4f98-ac5c-92464cfb4ed8]] ([[User talk:625571b7-aa66-4f98-ac5c-92464cfb4ed8|talk]]) 22:41, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
 
 
 
Why is it assumed he was at a Subway Sandwich shop and not an actual subway, which would also give reason why the time after is blank for a longer time as especially back then signals in underground Subways were non existent, not that they are any better now especially for GPS. Even the transcript on the original xkcd.com page does not specify which it is. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.166|108.162.216.166]] 12:01, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
 
 
 
Malapropism alert: Do you mean "inconspicuous places" or do you mean "innocuous places"? --[[Special:Contributions/172.70.86.11|172.70.86.11]] 14:25, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
