Here comes the moronic, sheep-like A14 cult to tell us how they and their super speshul friends don't have to care about etiquette because they have bigger problems or whatever other excuse they have for being tacky.  

Yay.

Um yeah. Sorry I brought them over here. I should have learned after reading what happened last time.

This is how they  make me feel:

Really? Starting another thread complaining? Again? Two words: Attention. Whore. And you don't wanna be popular? Again, puh-lease.

As for your "quote," that's not what was said. What was said was you are a classless, cuss-mouthed, ethnocentric, wanna-be WASP who needs to get a life. If you're going to paraphrase, at least state what was actually said. Need a refresher?

Yes, well, consider the source. A14? Really, not at all surprised. The only thing that runs deeper than the crazy in that group is the tacky.


ETA: Holy fuck, after reading only half of that mess.

Oh, Berry, you just loooove to talk crap about A14 given any opportunity, don't you? You're still holding a grudge because we had your number the second you crossed our internet threshold and started trying to tell us all how to think? I can't imagine why this is the only board you're popular on. FTR every time I see some pearl-clutching, self-proclaimed etiquette queen cry "tacky!" all I can picture is some outdated southern belle with helmet hair fanning themselves with too-long fingernails dressed all in pink (signature color? Puh-lease.) enjoying a mint julep while they smother in their own smugness with a small group of cronies who all congratulate each other on how much better they are than everyone else and sit, happily, in their teeny-tiny little world. In other words, someone who is BORING, and whom I couldn't care less about. You keep being bitter and hating us, we'll keep being awesome.

And for the record, I don't pride myself on "not having any consideration for [my] guests." I pride myself in surrounding myself with people who are amazing and interesting and have lives that don't revolve around shaking a hankie at everyone who doesn't bow to Emily Post. My friends and loved ones don't care about shower etiquette and thank you notes, so why should I? As our board has said to you for the MILLIONTH time, not all of us are from the same region, the same socio-economic background, or heck, the same country, and it is DISTURBINGLY ethnocentric of you to keep insisting that your WASP-ey etiquette blanket should be spread over everyone. Grow up and open your eyes, there are other regional and cultural norms in the world. One man's lack of consideration is another man's normative.


BiRL out.

...Your friends and family don't care about shower etiquette and thank you notes? How do you know? Nobody is going to tell you (to your face) that you're being tacky. They're probably talking about it behind your back though.

Some people don't care about etiquette? Okay. Some people don't care about basic hygiene and you don't see me rushing out to be their friends either.

@Bliss+Berry I said your attitude and stances were WASP-ey and ethnocentric. That's all I have to go on here: listening to your opinions. Regardless of how you grew up (YOU DON'T KNOW MY LYFFFE!) if you have opinions and stances that are ethnocentric that what I'm going to assume you are. Don't like the label? Don't wear so well.

Also, I said that's the picture I get in my head (again, I'm quoting here, since reading comprehension doesn't seem to be your strong suit) anytime I see "some pearl-clutching, self-proclaimed etiquette queen cry "tacky!""  It just happens that you (and Steel Magnolias) fit the image in my head very, very well.

And the mere fact that you and the people you surround yourself with would be "shocked" at gaffs in etiquette continues to reinforce the picture in my mind that you are a very sheltered individual sitting in a smug little bubble.

And @MichelleN first of all, read please. I send thank you cards. And if you'd read the thread Berry is cursing about (again, Berry, always the classy one) you'd see that I have no problems either way about thank you notes. I hate them, but I send them. I'm so glad you know my friends better than I, though! How do I know if they think things are tacky? It's called a conversation. We have them all the time. I've asked them about etiquette issues - mostly in response to all the crazy ettiquette queens I ruin across on TB - well removed from any conversation about showers I may or may not have. I assume they're not lying to me then. Also, I've planned showers. Around here there's usually a group of us working on any shower, and no cares are given as to etiquette. It's not part of the planning because it's just not part of our regional culture. Maybe it would be if we had more free time to worry about such things, but life tends to move at a fast pace where I live, and if anyone takes the time to notice a thank you card isn't sent, no one really cares. I don't care if I don't get one, and I usually tell people not to send me one because I think they're annoying to write. And I've never, ever heard any of my friends, family, or acquaintances talking behind someone's back about their poor etiquette. And those are conversations I would be part of, if I wasn't the subject of the gossip. But do go on, tell me how deluded I am, and how all my friends are talking about my tacky self behind my back.

Clearly not that fast, since you have so much time to go on these diatribes.  Let it be already... ever heard of "agree to disagree"? I'm not interested in having my notifications blow up every two seconds while you at @Bliss+Berry go nose to nose here.

BiggerinRealLife

@MamaLlama14 Fair enough. I'm happy to let it go. Have a nice evening.

ETA: Wait. I'm confused. Why are your notifications blowing up when it was Bliss who started the thread, and the mess?

Ah if only I could gif. *sigh*
