UO Recap: My boss is late today edition
It’s Thursday, Thursday, gotta recap on ThurdsayEverybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
Is anything significant happening this weekend? I haven’t really heard anyone post about anything…
Executive Summary:
Bitstrips, killing with kindness, parking lots, pedestrians, kid’s shows, Love Actually song stuck in my head, christening gowns, baby pumpkin butts… pretty sedate week

Re: UO Recap: My boss is late today edition
@LexiLupin feels that posting the UO thread is overrated cuz who wants to be up so early? I forget, do we get points for making popular threads, or just for love tits?
@FhSTAR81 doesn’t think men should sing the national Anthem. Unpopular.
@TwilightMV kinda likes air travel. I kinda like if if I’m travelling without my family. 3-4 hours to just read and relax? Yesplease!
@shanado is relieved when her DD gets sick because she’s snuggly and lazy instead of crazy. I get that; DS is cuddly and sleeps in when he’s sick, although there are downsides.
@Riversong82 loves Christmas but hates decorating. #FWP.
@Estwd2 thinks 3-wheeled strollers are Fug. no love.
@LuckyDad (! why the fuck was he up this early???) thinks sleeping in the same bed as your SO is overrated. Popular. I mean, when we were banging every time we slept over at each other’s house it was one thing. But now I just wanna sleep most nights, goddamn it!
-lotta people got nothing.
-Apparently we are not doing GGM because Gary Glitter was a pedo.
@LoisLayn23 thinks bitstrips are annoying as fuck. Popular. Seems like the classic problem where most people just aren’t funny, so giving them a platform to pretend to be funny on just doesn’t work, especially one that encourages limited quality control.
@nixieknox3 hates skinny jeans, at least on her.
@MrsEll hates it when cashiers comment on her purchases at the drug store or grocery store. I recommend she never shop at Trader Joes (“Whoa! I love these things, man! They are SO good! Have you tried…”), and perhaps just throw lube or condoms in with most purchases.
@pobrecita thinks ‘Killing them with kindness’ is overrated
@angelashly thinks semis driving side-by-side going 55 on the highway during rush hour are jackasses. Yeah, they really shouldn’t do that. At the same time, I am so jelly you get to drive 55 during rush hour!!!
@ncgirlgoingtori loves her e-reader to go online, but hates it for reading books.
@andrea99 feels like if her kid throws a fit before 7 am they should be allowed to go back to bed and get a do-over.
@missyishere hates the term “everything happens for a reason”. Popular
@pobrecita thinks PTL is way over diagnosed. BH =/= PTL. Pain Tolerance Level? ETA: Oh, Pre Term Labor? Gotcha.
@prncebride is from MA and sick of the World Series insanity.
@CinemaGoddess thinks people should slow down in thick fog. CRAZY!
@Sterling13 thinks the term “sanctimommy” is thrown around too much. I dunno, I think it’s used pretty well around here.
@MotherOfPearl85 hates it when people block the aisle waiting for a parking spot. I kinda do too, but live in an urban enough area to know why people do it. I do sometimes like to troll those people. If I have bags and my kid, I ain’t gonna rush just cuz you are waiting for me, jerkface!
@peanutrach1 doesn’t like it when people post tons of low quality pics of themselves on FB. I honestly am not that concerned with quality control, although I mainly post pics of my kid these days. DW and I actually made a point not to post pics on our honeymoon not to look like “those people”, although there was plenty of time when one of us was driving.
@CurlyQ284 needs to learn how to twist a confession into a UO. Like “I am worthless and mean before I shower” could turn into “I don’t think anyone should try to do anything before they shower in the morning”. Just universalize your confession!!!
@Mom2Oli hates all parenting related list on Huffington or blogs that make it onto FB. I kinda just hate Huffington Post.
@peanutrach1 hates it when she’s in a car with someone who circles to find the “best spot”. She’s right, although there are exceptions if you have children in the car and/or it is butt-ass-cold.
@CinemaGoddess hates jerks who blow through the pedestrian walkway in front of stores. I agree, but hate parking lots that are designed to route traffic there. Seriously? Parking lot designers are often the worst.
@missyishere thinks there are too many glitches on The New Bump. She’s right.
@futant462 wants people to check before posting stupid internet hoaxes on facebook. Facebook should have a snopes filter.
@bullybutt hates Ugg boots. They are fUgg, and only good for surfing.
@HilarityEnsued hates youtube links. I can’t view them either, so I appreciate if there is a note saying what it is.
@Mackalien13 doesn’t think Royals is that great of a song. Probably cuz Mack spends her days sippin’ grey goose in the Mod Lounge where we have a tiger on a gold leash.
@amycorn starts prepping for Christmas once Canadian Thanksgiving is over. So September.
- Pedestrian and kid show discussion
@Helenahhandbasket thinks it’s weird to talk to your SO over Facebook, including B-day wishes.
@pobrecita thinks christening gowns are weird. I agree, although at least it’s the one time when some very uptight conservative people will put their baby boy in a dress.
@scoutkate hates LaLaOopsie
- How much Christmas do people prefer? A month? Three?
@BettyandCo doesn’t think the responses in the “worst mommy moment” thread were harsh.
@HilarityEnsued thinks Coraline was super creepy. I think it was cute and charming!
@CinemaGoddess doesn’t trust people who don’t like Love Actually. I think that film really works. The pseudo sequels (New Years Eve and Valentine’s Day) are awful. But Love Actually has a great cast and mostly works.
@JoShan1719 thinks the Walking Dead is overrated. I think the first couple seasons were strong, but it got a little old.
@ThisIsBrea hates the trend of painting your kid’s butt to look like a pumpkin. I feel lucky I was blissfully unaware.
@ThisIsBrea also thinks Telly on Sesame Street has an anxiety disorder. Kids show characters often do, because they present exaggerated character traits.
@LuckyDad kinda hopes Sherlock doesn’t explain how he survived to preserve ambiguity. And yes, @pobrecita, LOST became bad when they started explaining things (stupidly)!
@Maebb gets RATIONALLY annoyed when people bring a huge cooler style lunchbox to work and then take up half the shared fridge with it.
@msdrdg (now taggable!) thinks it should be illegal to place a lunch order loudly at a really yummy lunch spot and not ask others if they want anything. That does seem like the polite thing to do.
@LuckyDad thinks you should somehow be able to change or turn off time/date stamping for emails.
I had plenty of time to do it today anyways.
Same here. It's tough being a new kid.
It is, but it's above average for the genre. It helps that it is sort of an anthology, which gave the writers a bit of flexibility on "give everyone a happy ending" trope. Plus the cast is really strong.
