I think people who don't return shopping carts to the cart corral are lazy. There's no excuse for leaving your cart in the middle of the parking lot
Oh my god this enrages me!!!! I have actually been known to say something to people that just push them between cars. Like I'm sure that you don't want a cart pressed up and potentially scratching your car so what makes you think that others do?

I knew my UO was going to actually be popular, but I got so frustrated last night when I went to park in 3 different spots, and each one had a cart in the middle of it.

If I try to park in a spot with a cart in it... Sometimes (if the cart is facing the right way) I just push it out of the way with my car.
Really @SummerOH anyone who is hardcore about a fad dieting scheme (Paleo, plant-based, gluten free, etc) without a *diagnosed* food allergy/sensitivity gets the side-eye from me. X_X

Ohh yes. The gluten-free fad is so stupid. However, it is great for those who truly do have an issue with gluten because they have way more options now! So that's good, I guess.
Mine: I hate maternity pics. I've never seen one single picture that made me think, "Man, I want those done!" I understand why people want to do it and all... I'm just not about to have it done myself.
Mine are related to a conversation at work recently where I held my tongue because I hate arguments:
I hate when people talk about natural childbirth (epidural free) like they are better than everyone else. Great if that's what you want to do and I'd never tell anyone not to, but read up and understand I'm not any less connected to my children or putting them at risk just because I had epidurals both times (and will this time too).
I also HATE the documentary The Business of Being Born. Nobody tried to make me use pitocin at the hospital, and my OB isn't gunning to give everyone a C-section.
I'm so sick and tired of people hovering over me about what I should and shouldn't be eating. If I want to eat fish I'm going to, I don't like uncooked fish anyways. If I want a damn sushi roll I'm going to eat it! Also after reading car seat safety and researching how to properly put a child in a car seat, I side eye the crap out of people on Facebook that are really careless.

Okay, I totally agreed with you on this UNTIL I had a baby. Now, if the cart corral is pretty far away I'll push the cart to the closest curb if I already have my child in the car. I feel like a jerk but if I can't see my car, I can't see my kid and I'm just not comfortable with that regardless if I lock the door.
I can't stand "baby crazy" ladies. Like you can tell when there's a baby visiting my office because all my coworkers go "AWWW OMG BABY!!!" And then the baby talk starts. I dunno, maybe because these ladies are older and their kids are now teens/adults they get all nostalgic? I don't even like holding babies unless I'm related to/close friends with their parents.
My UO: I'm all for bringing a side dish to a bbq, gathering, etc. but if you invite me to a bridal shower, baby shower, birthday, any kind of event that I have to buy a gift for, don't ask me to bring a side. I'm bringing you a gift, I shouldn't have to bring food to your party as well. *Of course family and BFFs don't count. Obviously I would make anything they want me to

Seriously this! Or I'm sorry but the last baby shower I went to, it had the registry, bring diapers for diaper raffle and bring a book instead of a card. I felt like I was buying so much and hardly spent any on the actual gift.... To me that just puts bad taste in my mouth. And to top it off, "too many people were there" so they didn't even open the gifts. Which honestly is my favorite part!

I agree! I think a book instead of a card is cute if you decided to do it. But being told you have to is not cute! I will give you as many gifts as I want, you can't have a three gift minimum for guest. I read it as, you must get a gift off my registry, a book and a package or diapers to enter the shower, or the host and I will side eye you as you enter.

I park close to a corral for this reason exactly. I've never had an issue with people dinging my car next to the cart return, but I've had rogue carts ding and scratch my car more than once. You can always leave your child in the cart until you return it and carry them back to the car, which I've done if a spot close to the cart return isn't available.
I have two kids and still I manage to put the cart back. I unload the cart, push the cart to the corral and carry my children to the car. It is not that hard.

I agree! My son has actual food allergies and I always feel judged when I ask questions at restaurants because so many a-holes are just avoiding those things for "health reasons" and we end up looking like idiots. I feel like I need to put a shirt on my son that says "I have a medically diagnosed food allergy".
I'll take this a step further and say that I think genetically modified food will be key in resolving world hunger, which will only grow worse with time as the world's population increases rapidly, land availability for crops grows more scarce, and the world's climate becomes more arid.

On the fad diet, gluten free, GMO train... It peeves me a little when people take issue with what others choose to eat or not eat. It is an extremely personal decision that affects virtually no one else, unless said person wants to get preachy to others about their dietary choices. Then, that is a whole other issue. If you want to eat processed foods all day long, go for it! If you want to eat gluten free, paleo, all organic, or nothing GMO, rock on! I'm not going to side eye anyone for their dietary choices/ requirements, regardless of their reasoning. It's all good!
Mine is all over my Facebook and it's really getting annoying!
Moms who think circumcision for your son, is wrong and harmful. They compare it to the worst pain ever. They are always posting how it should never be done. I believe this is a topic that is private. I don't want to know that a girl I went to high school with, didn't get her two year old circumcised when he was born. Now his whole life I'm gonna know that. I don't want to! I strongly believe it's the parents choice and it should stay between the parents. Also! Whatever they decide, the parents shouldn't be judged for it.

I totally agree. Also, people who talk about how much it hurts are fear-mongering. They numb them up really well. DS didn't even cry and was fully-recovered in days. I am in no way trying to convince anyone here to do it - to each their own - but after seeing it myself I'll gladly call bullshit on anyone who tries to tell me how painful it is.
@bananers I agree on calling BS. I didn't get to watch my DS get it done, but he never had a problem with it. It healed quickly and nicely. He never cried over the pain.
This lady says "all the give them is sugar water for pain". Yes. All they gave my son was a pacifier covered in sugar water, but they also said that's all he needed and he would be sleeping after it was done. Sure enough, he was fast asleep minutes after it was done.
But like I said. I believe it's every parents right to their own opinion. I just don't like her preaching to me that my opinion was wrong and harmful to my son. That it could almost be classified as abuse, and my son can sue me at 18 for making that choice for him.

This is the problem though, people who eat like that because they think it's "better" and not because of dietary restrictions usually are preachy about it.
To chime in about dietary preferences/GMO....Preachy people about anything are annoying. Diets, religion, politics, body "positivtity", etc. However, lots of people I know are mostly GMO-free and follow some kind of dietery "fad" they have deemed fit for their body type and metabolism. Whether it be gluten-free, paleo, plant based, or just cautious about their intake. They're all happy, healthy, and no one judges eachother for their different tastes or interests. However, considering GMO - no matter how you slice it, genetically modified, pestiscide laden foods ARE not good for both our health or the health of the Earth. Monsanto's GMO seeds are monopolizing farming communities across the globe, creating super-bugs & pesticide resistant weeds, which in turn has forced Monsanto to create new pesticides with little to no research done on our health (all so far to have been proven to cause Cancer). Now, after getting "preachy" myself....my UO is about GMO: Our govenerment (and Hillary Clinton) sold off our seed and farming rights to a large corporation so that they can monopolize countries, our eating rights, and Earth's natural and beautiful way of creating great crop. In turn (with over 90% of America's land being GMO for Corn, Soy, and Cotton), prices for food have NOT fallen, lower class, impoverished cities and states still have little access to fresh fruit and veg, and any organic farm that atttempts to thrive in our environment will soon be deemed non-organic from cross pollenation. Feeding large quantities of people in impoverished states, countries, etc could be better done by teaching them sustainable, long-term farming practices. This Monsanto bit will not have a positive outcome. Boo now I'm sad I have to watch my child deal with this.
My husband and I are waiting until baby is born to find out the gender, just like we did with our firstborn. My MIL has been harassing us since the first day we told her we were expecting because she wants to know what her next grandbaby will be. She even suggested that we invite her to the 12 week US so that she can see and find out even if we don't want to. It wouldn't bother me so much except that she acts as though we're somehow depriving her of her right to know her grandchild and being bad children to her just because we don't want to know the sex early. People who butt in on your personal decisions in general that are none of your business....
This is the problem though, people who eat like that because they think it's "better" and not because of dietary restrictions usually are preachy about it.
Yes, this is my whole point. Really anyone (regardless of their own eating habits) preaching, about what someone else does/doesn't or should/shouldn't eat, is on my nerves.
So I've been amazed at some of the things I've been hearing lately. This girl in another birth board I'm on said she was only 9+4 and that she had gained 20 lbs already... 20 lbs! And she followed that statement with "oops". I have nothing against weight, as I'm definitely overweight myself, and finally lost 20+ lbs in order to even get pregnant, but when you're pregnant and you're not even the slightest bit concerned about your weight, I don't think that's okay. There are so many complications that stem from too much weight gain. There was a post on one of the boards on the bump a while back where it was a contest to see who gained the most weight. I think you had to gain at least 40lbs to join? Did anyone else see it besides me? It was insane! The reasoning behind the weight gain a lot of women said was because they were pregnant and they wanted to do whatever they wanted. I just can't imagine. Some women with singleton pregnancies gained up to 80+ lbs! And they didn't care, and weren't concerned. Idk. I guess my unpopular opinion is that I don't understand how someone could not care about That much weight gain, especially while carrying a baby.
Note: I'm aware some people can't keep their weight under control and it's not their fault, but the women I'm talking about were so proud of their weight gain. Is that not bad for you??
It is so irritating when people say "I'll love my baby no matter what" as their reason to not have testing done. As if the people who have it done won't?
I have had all available testing done with both previous pregnancies and will do it again this time. And if there's something wrong, I will terminate (probably another UO). To me, I would love my child enough to do what's best for my family.
If you want to circumscize your child then it is your decision but you shouldn't be upset with someone for telling you the truth...Sometimes ignorance is bliss but knowledge is power you just have to choose which direction you prefer.

I'm ok with her informing me of her opinion. But not all the things she's sharing are the truth. But that's IF she was just sharing her opinion. She isn't. She's being an adult bully about it.
Bottom line is, it's my choice. Any parent is going to think they are in the right.
Also. I choose my path of knowledge. I know what happened to my son, and I know how he reacted. She doesn't know, how my child reacted to it. So I have a right to be upset with her, if she tells me I'm wrong about my child.
