I hope that child was named after the city, not the woman.
Don't judge me, as I don't teach geography, but there's really a city named Apollonia?!

No judgement. I found this out randomly. I don't think the city is spelled Apollonia, but something close to it. Either way, this child was probably not named after the city. I am so terrible for thinking of the song "sex shooter" right now as this kid's theme song. I know. I am.
Fun and semi-related story: I teach middle school and was joking with a student during break and did a part of the "Bye, Bye, Bye" dance. She wanted to know what that was from, and when I told her she said "who is NSYNC?" Granted, I have moments like this regularly in my profession.
UO: If they haven't called your group to board the plane, sit your butt down. We will all get on eventually. This should not be unpopular, but given my recent flights, seems like it just may be.
I haaaaate when the pilot says stay seated and people walk around. It makes me infuriated. Like 15 people are having a bathroom emergency even though the seat belt sign is on?

You know how when the plane lands the flight attendants say to remain seated and keep luggage stowed away in the overhead compartment? Well, the young lady in the row across from us tried to sneak her luggage out of the compartment. I knew she was going to get it, and sure enough, the flight attendant came up to the row, put the suitcase back, bent down in her face and said something sternly to her. When we left the plane, the poor girl was still crying about it. Actual tears. But really, listen to the people who are hired to help keep us safe.
I cannot stand the sneaky plane passengers who stick their bulging carry on AND their backpack in the overhead bins. Can that please be enforced? I know your toes want space but I feel terrible for those last 5 people who can't fit their compact carry on in the bins because your "small personal item" was too good for "under the seat in front of you"

This used to bother me, until I started traveling for work and didn't check luggage. If you're not at the beginning of your group, you risk the possibility of the overhead space being gone and having to check your bag!
No thanks! I'll be that annoying chick if it means not waiting at baggage claim.
@satindawl83 Fair. Though I don't travel that extensively, we have had attendants on our flights address passengers that have taken up too much overhead space before. Everything about the seat process annoys me and the way in which many airlines handle carry-ons.
Not really a UO but I'm hating being on the other side of the world to the majority of users! These threads often have me in tears with laughter but posting forever after everyone else takes a lot of the fun out of it! Stupid time zones.
Sooooooo I'm having a boy and I'm excited, but I'm sad that my clothing options got drastically limited (I know I know it is SO silly of me). Girls get all the cute colorful stuff and they give boys like the left over weird colors. Why does my boy have to wear shit green and pastels that make him look like desert skittles? Damn you Macy's! *Shakes angry fists then goes on etsy*

Have you been to the Janie & Jack store? Cutest boy clothes ever!!! Well in my opinion. Janie & Jack and Gymboree are my favorites for boys clothes! The outlets are better though - better prices.
Off topic, when I was a lurker, I was a little scared to post because of some of the snark I saw, even though I'm pretty damn snarky myself. Now that I participate more and converse with more of you ladies, I TOTALLY get some of the snark. Like bruh, how many times is the SAME exact question going to be posted per day? Scroll down or back a page or 2! I have a new found appreciation for the term "Use the search function". Love you guys. Our BMB totally rocks.

Totes! And I especially hate when people put their JACKETS up there... Seriously?!
Did anybody realize how I started this thread but I didn't try to dictate who could or could not say what on it? Apparently it's an unpopular opinion to follow TOU
