A couple of them, if they were any dumber, would need to be watered twice a week.

^ That's funny!
Ugh, the metra train I need to be in the city around 3:30, however no train between 1pm - 3:30![]()
MANY MEN WANTED TO LAY ME DOWN, BUT FEW WANTED TO LIFT ME UP

Most modern parents. The fact that kids raised by these people will be running the country when I'm old scares me.
And lately more than usual - people with a lot to say about politics and societal issues who have NO FUCKING CLUE what the FUCK they're talking about. They read something online or watch one TV show and suddenly they have everything to say about everything. Add to this "cause" based platforms for politicians and the idiots who follow them, and people who get behind a candidate for no good reason at all. I have a middle-aged black woman as a good friend, who is highly intelligent, well educated, and generally well informed. All that went straight out the window in 2008. Obama went against half her personal positions and most of her beliefs but he was black, and she hasn't shut up about him since. If he murdered children on live TV and followed it with a speech about how much he enjoyed feeding kittens to fighting dogs before a fight, she would stand and applaud. Ugh.





Both of these are pet peeves of mine. I don't get why there are so many bratty kids and it's because of the parents. I have been so many places with screaming and running around kids and the parents refuse to yell at them. If I had done that my parents would have dragged me out of the place and spanked me. But nope not these kids.
Your second point I also agree with and see this all the time. It's not just politics but everything. I used to work in radio and have a degree in it so I like to think I am an expert. However I have been told by someone I know that they know more about it than me because they "listen" to the radio. WTF? I've seen people state they know something better than another because they read it online.
Not to get into politics but I know many who vote for politicians because of stupid reasons. I like to make an informed vote before I vote.





The fact that Herman Cain still has ANY support AT ALL is pathetic. Forget the sexual harassment crap - doesn't matter. When he first hit the scene, I wanted to hear more. There wasn't any. His 9-9-9 plan is all he has, and even that isn't very well developed. He' a one trick pony with a bad one trick. Next.





He won't get the nomination and never had a chance. I'm still thinking it'll be a Romney/Obama matchup but I could be wrong.
My pet peeve?
Kristen Stewart.





^lol - that's funny. Worse than her is Stephanie Meyer. Go die in a fire bitch, you got lucky once, you can't write, STFU.
God I hope you're right Kelly, 'cuz Romney would likely win and he's who we need and who we should have had in 2008. If there are better options out there - and I'm sure there are a few - they aren't running, lol. Romney is the best candidate we've had in decades. Finally someone I will actually be HAPPY to vote for! That's been a while. Like, never since I was old enough to vote, lol. There was a chance for another good one back in 2000/2004, but Powell wouldn't run. He's an amazing man & I would have been honored to vote for him.



We should start wearing masks when we're sick, like they do in Asia, and perhaps other countries. It can look weird at first, like you just busted out of a hospital, but it's very considerate. Everyday I see people hacking and wheezing without covering their mouths, and even if they do, the mask would still help. It'll never happen in this country, though.
Vanity..Even if it did the mask would never be plain..designer mask, the difference between cultures, practicality to attention.





I don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but people who are rude to serving staff. I saw this on a poster once: "A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person"
It's okay to send things back, just do it nicely: "Excuse me, but I didn't realize this salad has pine nuts on it. I'm allergic to pine nuts. May I please have the [substitute salad] instead? Thank you."
What you shouldn't do is to assume the restaurant already knows about your pine nuts allergy and then proceed to curse out the server when you find them.
Also, I know it's a joke, but there's some truth to it: It's not a good idea to mess with people who handle your food.
I hate that the two twitter accounts that I follow for my astrological sign are run by illiterate douchebags. I can't retweet anything because they have glaring grammatical errors on all their really good tweets. If you're going to be that public, proofread, yes?





I may have mentioned this upthread but I just did in another thread and it's the way that obviously obese people call themselves, "average" "athletic" or "curvy" then when you point out someone who really is one of those they say "oh that person is skinny". wtf?
I hate when people tell me I am "too old" to be listening to many bands I do. I happen to like many recent bands like Arcade Fire, so what? Just because I am 40 I should listen to elevator music? I do like many older acts as well.
Oh and I have mentioned this countless times but am so tired of people telling me I should "settle" when it comes to men. Yes I have standards and yes it could mean I never marry but would prefer that to marrying someone with issues I can't deal with. Related to this, but I really hate when people online and offline say "if a guy isn't married by 40 there is something wrong". Um no, I have met many decent guys (relatives and people who married people I knew)who married later and had good reasons like concentrating on career or never met the right woman. Yet someone like this is often branded less desirable than a man married multiple times, multiple kids (in and out of marriage). Personally the guys I have seen the most anti marriage were all previously married not single men never married. Oh sure I have met weird single guys too, but far more who had been married.
