Oh and I LOVE Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza drowning in their fire sauce. It grosses DH out, but something about the crunchy flakiness drenched in sauce is so delish to me.
I want a crunch wrap now with the strawberry Starburst drink.
I don't know if this is an UO or just a pet peeve that really drives me up the wall. People who don't roll up sleeves when eating and I have to watch them run their clothes through their food. My boss does it and she always laughs at me whenever I start saying ack! She immediately knows what's up. DH is a constant food skimmer. I seriously want to scratch my eyes out every time.
THIS! I used to work as an elementary school teacher and I could not stand being near the kids while they ate!! Food on the sleeves, talking with full mouths (so spraying people with your currently-being-chewed food), hair getting in the food, food all over the face.... Gah!
I agree that I will take rain and cold and sweaters any day rather than heat over 90 degrees. My UO is that I like Brussels sprouts. And asparagus. But if someone tries to feed me salad everyday they will get throat punched. It's just eating leaves.
@duckinoven Brussel Sprouts are rocking if they are made correctly. I can do some asparagus in good sauce or some butter and a little seasoning... And yes, throat punch the salad servers. I went to Decatur with a friend to visit her family once. They took us to a buffet as a surprise. We were thinking Golden Corral...nope, it was, and I kid you not, "Lettuce Souprise You". We were mad....lmao I just ate baked potatoes.
UO: I don't like baseball. It bores the holy hell out of me. I like listening to it on the radio when I need to take a nap... and drinking beer and pretending to watch at Cardinals games (I live in STL). But to me it's just not that great. It's like the only sport where the players can be chunks-- yet they get paid more than most? And it annoys me that everyone in my city thinks that they're the biggest Cards fan ever, I guarantee most don't know diddly about the intricacies of the sport (which, if I understood, I might appreciate more)
I love the speed and intensity of hockey. THAT is my sport-- what a beautiful game. Bf and I both grew up playing.. can't wait to buy little baby skates!!! (bf insists he also play baseball, football, and maybe lax... we'll see i guess, that sounds like a lot!!)
This is probably not an uo, but I think it is totally adorable seeing dads on here asking questions. My fiance said we are too "gangster" for him, he'll leave that all to me lmfao.
I love going to baseball games!!!! And tailgating beforehand is even better! I'm super jacked to go with DH to a game Sunday with his work in a private box! Also, private bathroom! We went to a game a couple of weeks ago but taking those stairs constantly back and forth to the bathroom was no fun. I did, however, use it as an excuse to get different foods each time.
Also, another UO, I cannot WAIT for football season!!!! I'm making sure all baby showers are on Saturdays so Sundays I can spend on the couch, watching the games, and stuffing my face. Although, I've already been told I'm not allowed to watch "my team" because I get too upset with them, haha.
I'll jump on the sports bandwagon: I LOVE basketball, football, baseball. All we do in the winter is watch sports... And in the spring, baseball is on my mind more than it is on the hubs'. I have a hard time with women who see sporting events as social hour/ the runway.
My UO is I think people who don't like kissing their dog or people who think people who do kiss their dogs are weird...I think THEY are weird.. Haha hope that made sense. Basically I kiss my dogs and thinks it's just fine! Just smooching their noses
Another UO is I can't STAND when moms continue to say, oh my son/daughter is 37 months like after 1 year of age... Like damn woman don't make me do math!! How old is that??? 3? wtf just say 3!!! Even being pregnant I just tell people how far along I am in months because you can see their faces are like uhhh ok so 18 weeks is how much?

Yasssss. If I were back in college id be giving sorority snaps in agreement.
Love sports, I will go to nearly all sporting events and often know more than dudes.
My UO is that Honey BBQ sauce could be its own food group and I am SO happy I can have it again. The first trimester sucked.
Do you like honey BBQ chips?
Omg yes! And BBQ pop chips are like cocaine for me.
Other notes now that I've caught up: -I kiss my dog on the top of his head all the damn time. -I agree about the "my child is 37 months" thing. Drives me crazy. 3. Your child is 3. -And while I enjoy watching baseball and football, hockey is AWESOME!
Lol salad haters. My dad always said that salad is the promise that food is on the way. He would push it aside and wait for his meal to come.
My uo: bacon is disgusting. Actually any pork product is gross.
My dad calls salads rabbit food! I have no words for your repulsion to bacon lol!! :@)
My UO is I am against praising my kids. I think it's sets them up for failure and makes them give up on things easier. So we don't use the words "good job" in my house. People use the words good job so much that their kids become praise junkies and never really complete or accomplish things to the fullest potential.
....And kids shouldn't get awards just for participating. Showing up should be expected; not rewarded. They need to learn how to lose and that it's a reality sometimes. Not everyone is a winner.
I hate chocolate. I was sensitive to it before but now since being preggo it's even worse. My SO laughs everytime he puts the cocoa butter lotion on me cause I complain about its chocolate like smell. Must go to the store soon to find a different lotion lol.
I don't care for the movie frozen.... Can't get into it. Songs are catchy though. Oh Nutella is somewhat gross... ummm I think breast feeding is cool....and.... I'm not a fan of salad.... or people that use the adjective "groovy" to describe themselves or anything else for that matter....it's 2015.
My dinner today was a piece of a special ordered cake which is half brownie, half chocolate cake, dulce de leche filling and Nutella topping, sprinkled with crispy chocolate pearls, I'm not even sorry! I've been eating healthy all the time. I feel sorry for people who don't like chocolate, it's crazy!
I don't care for frozen either, or scandal. Actually I can't stand scandal.

My other UO: I refuse to own a microwave.
I was so here with you about the microwave until about a month ago. Haven't owned one in six years. My mom moved and offered me hers because my daughter loves popcorn. And now I'm not sure how I lived without one. My leftovers heat up so much faster and that is gold for a pregnant momma!
My UO: I hate when people say "you're eating for two!" then say I need to eat more, like two full plates of food. No. 300 extra calories/day will do me just fine thanks. I don't feel like having gestational diabetes, or birthing an 11 pound baby, or gaining 50 pounds, thank you very much.
Maybe that's not a UO. Maybe we all feel that way. Whatever. :-bd

That eating for two thing has gotten so misconstrued. It doesn't mean to eat a bunch more; it means to be aware of what you are putting in your body since you are eating not only for yourself, but for another tiny person, as well. <---- that's meant for the people who were telling you to bulk up.

We are told to give specific feedback, not "good job". So if a kid finally gets their "k" sound, we don't simply say, "good job, that was it!" We say, "I like how you got your tongue up in back, and you made a great k sound! How did it feel? What did you do differently? Let's try again!" I think specific feedback is very important, but I think that's different than the praise and awards that you mention

Yes that kind of praise is different and important! I do that with my son. We discuss it and try again! But I don't reward or praise! I also am all for helping my DS know the feelings behind his tears or excitement. So if it's frustration I say, "I know that was frustrating" or I say "how does that feel".
I know it's friday but apparently I'm feeling feisty.
I hate ice cream. I don't care what kind it is. It's nasty. I'm also not hugely into chocolate.
If i fly coach, I have to sit at the back of the plane because I don't like children or big people sitting behind me.
I don't ever check bags. I only travel with carry-ons. I could be going away for a month. I'll make it work.
I don't allow housekeeping in my hotel room. I keep the Do Not Disturb sign up for the duration of my stay and keep it tidy myself.
If more than one person is talking at once, I completely zone out. I dislike noise. I recharge alone, not around people.
I also find pork repulsive.
So there would be no exception if you were flying to the far east for two months and were going to be staying in a hotel? Would you allow them to come and pick up your clothes for laundering?
I don't like when people name their kids one thing and then call them something else. For example, "his name will be Anthony but we'll call him Tony". Why not just name the kid Tony???? I've already had family telling me what they plan on calling my daughter for short because her name is long. Who can post an "oh no you won't" gif for me?!?!
I hate Magic Mike. Yeah yeah the boys are hot and everything but that has got to be the dumbest story line and some awful acting. I DO enjoy the gifs for MM however seeing as all of them are shirtless
My UO is I think people who don't like kissing their dog or people who think people who do kiss their dogs are weird...I think THEY are weird.. Haha hope that made sense. Basically I kiss my dogs and thinks it's just fine! Just smooching their noses
Yes! I can't leave for the day without kissing each of my 3 fur balls on the snout. Well the pug gets his head kissed for lack of snout. My DH thinks I'm crazy because I will go back inside if I forget to say goodbye to one of them. He's just jealous....
My UO is I don't think Benedict Cumberbatch is attractive... At all. I don't see it.
I also love Uggs in the fall/winter and find leggings an acceptable form of pants (as long as they aren't see through).
@navyblueladybug UGGs are a must. My theory is that people who are haters have simply never owned a pair and just don't know. Nothing like a fresh new pair of classics or slippers. Amaze.

I don't think he's all that attractive. I enjoy him as an actor, though.

A great book on this is:

When you fly with your own child will you sit in the back of the plane?
Also when you fly will you check bags or no?
I also love Uggs in the fall/winter and find leggings an acceptable form of pants (as long as they aren't see through).
And I wear leggings a lot! I make sure they are not see through, but they are so comfy!
