UO Thursday

NYTino24

What are your unpopular opinions?!

NYTino24

I am not liking this new iPhone update! Taking away my swiping and fingerprint privileges is making me mad, especially when I'm temping at 5 am and don't want to open my eyes to press a button to turn off the alarm or open up my FF app! I swear, it went to snooze a million times, so my 5:00, 6:00, 6:15, 6:30, 6:45, and 7:00 alarms also went off in between those times. It also took like 10 minutes for the first one to stop ringing while I was trying to temp and go through all of the dumb set up questions. I am NOT liking the first day of fall!!!

@NYTino24 I haven't updated yet, but WHAT?! No more fingerprint or swiping? Is that for everything or just turning off alarms?

GeorgiaWife6912

@NYTino24 I thought it was just me! I'm not liking the new alarm stuff at all.  it's driving me bsc. I think if you dig deep enough in the settings you can turn the swipe back on! I saw it in one of those "10 things you didn't know about the new iphone" articles.  

edit: grammar is hard.

I hate the new update for the most part....only thing I like is sending awesome GIFS now. 

Dilynne

I actually like the new iPhone update. The fingerprint thing still works for me. Also, you can send messages with confetti and in invisible ink and stuff. 

The bedtime thing is a little super annoying though so I don't use that.

I just hate iPhones....

and couldn't care less about Brad and Angelina.

I really don't care about football. I enjoy a good super bowl party, but that's it, and it's all about the party part for me.

I kept a broken phone for 3 months waiting to get the iPhone 7 and it doesn't even have a headphone jack!!! Oh the frustration of not being able to charge and listen to music at the same time!!!

@NYTino24@GeorgiaWife6912 I thought I was just being silly about my irritation when attempting to turn the alarm off! Thanks for making me feel better about my exasperation!!

@GeorgiaWife6912 I’m going to have to search for that option!

@BoshnJonnie I totally agree! There are so many other things I’d rather spend my time on.

GeorgiaWife6912

@Mrs_Jp I may have lied.  It looks like there is no way to bring it back.  Just to turn off the raise to wake.  I must have read wrong or read a bad article

My biggest pet peeve is when people say, I could care less. The term is I couldn't careless. Because if you could care less, you would care less. But if you couldn't care less, then you can't care any less than you already do......#grammar snob.

Huh. No one has ever pointed this out to me.

I'm on team yay iPhone update. I love iMessage now!! @Dilynne what is the bedtime thing??

Dilynne

@linzrunz  It's in the alarm thing with the stop watch and whatever. It's called bedtime.  It lets you set a bedtime alarm that tells you when you should be going to bed based on when you have to wake up and how much sleep you need, and then it keeps track of your sleep based on the movement of your phone.  I don't like the bedtime alarm thing because I'm scared it's going to go off after I'm already asleep lol 

hartmich

My UO is I don't hate being basic. I LOVE PSLs, vests in the fall time with riding boots, Uggs... you name it, I love it. No shame.

Pinky917

@mrsdaddario You may be my new favorite person...

My UO is that I absolutely despise the term "preggo", and I tend to judge anyone who uses it.

lulu1180

@Pinky917 DH has expressed his strong dislike for that word as well, he says it's a spaghetti sauce!!  I'm not sure when he'll do when I get KU and my dad uses that term, as he has with all of my siblings.

edited to add more

kiwi2628

@hartmich being basic is the best. I love fall for wearing vests, big scarves, apple picking in a flannel shirt with riding boots, pumpkin picking and all things BWG

rainbowturtles

@Pinky917

LOL ugh that's probably gigantic and I don't know how to change it so I'll remove it if it pisses anyone off lol
What about preggers, is that better? I don't really like the term "knocked up" but I've found myself using it a couple times irl because of these boards lol

YES. Grammar Snobs for Life!

Pinky917

@lulu1180 The term "designated preggo" has been thrown around in our group of friends multiple times, and I already warned DH that I will throat punch anyone who uses it towards me.

tlunceford123116

My UO... I hate the word Hubby. It makes me cringe. Completely irrational & I don't mind when my friends use it, but I wouldn't be caught dead saying it. 
I HATE THOSE "COUPLE" SHIRTS MORE THOUGH. I just got so enraged thinking of them... 

tlunceford123116

@hartmich literally my daily attire in the fall.. 

shstephenson

@hartmich yesssss, I could not agree more. I am so delightfully basic and I love it.
I guess my UO is that I really hate gender reveal parties. Even before we were TTC, I never understood them. A baby is a baby. I mean, yeah its cool knowing what your kid's gender is before its born, but is it REALLY that big of a deal? Do your child's genitals really need a REVEAL? 
 

lulu1180

@MommytoM13 To kind of go along with your UO, I don't understand when a couple shares a FB page.  Like, do you distrust your SO so much that you don't want them to have their own, private FB account....if that's the case then perhaps you just shouldn't be married to them.

shstephenson

@lulu1180 omg yes! I can't deal with couples like that.

This. All of this. Especially if the parents-to-be already know the sex. I guess the ones where the mom and dad don't know and are finding out with everyone else can be kind of okay, but if the mom and dad already know and just want to have an extra party? No. 

Edited to add that I normally don't feel quite so strongly about such things. Sorry!

tlunceford123116

@lulu1180 you hit the nail on the head. It's so odd. I also find the "nickname" Facebook names weird too. I swear I have a mutual friend on Facebook named "Shantel IDontWantNoSCrubs Johnson"............. (changed the last name for privacy reasons) 

lulu1180

@MommytoM13 Yes!!!!  It's like, do you introduce yourself to new people that way?  No, I didn't think so.  Then change your damn name back.

I had a friend that didn't like her relatives on her FB going back to her parents with some of the stuff she would post and created a fake account under a name that wasn't even close to her real name and was using that instead to hide from these people.  I basically told her that I thought it was stupid and immature and she was so upset that she then ignored me (while at my apartment and then for about a week or two afterwards) and tried to pretend nothing happened.  Obviously we're not really friends any more.  I just don't get people

LOL  My UO:  I think that particular name is hilarious and I support that.

Aurora1973

@shstephenson Yes!! I hate those gender reveal parties.  I also told OH I refuse to do any kind of FB announcement if I'm lucky enough to get KU, which made him giddy because he refuses to do FB at all.  I will tell the people in my life that I see and talk to regularly, but I just can't bring myself to make a big deal out of telling social media about our reproduction. 

I'm on the fence about doing a FB birth announcement.  I do like seeing those, but I also don't really like posting things about kids.  I feel like my kid won't have any say about how much I put on the internet about them, and I just don't feel right about it.  Funny enough, I don't judge others for it, unless they are posting every little detail daily...

eggplantface

I believe a recent BMB thread floated the idea of calling them "genital reveal parties" because that's what they are. Gender =/= sex/genitals. And when you call it a genital reveal party it sounds inappropriate, so maybe people will stop having them.

I also hate preggo, and hubby, and BD. And AF, even though I use it just because period takes longer to type. I don't know why when TTC we go from adult women trying to become mothers to infants who can't curse or use real words.

GeorgiaWife6912

@hartmich @kiwi2628 @shstephenson My OH tells me that I was basic before basic was a thing.  I love everything about being "basic."  So I share your UO haha.  

swimsister

@shstephenson OMG yes on the gender reveal parties! I've only been to one:
1) The parents already knew the gender (mom baked the reveal cake)
2) They didn't tell us that they were doing this, they just invited us over for a BBQ that was **surprise** a Gender Reveal.
3) Since everyone thought they were coming to a BBQ they thought it was like an open house,so you could come and go as you pleased. Those of us who got there early felt like we couldn't leave until after the big reveal, which didn't happen until after the last people showed up.

Even DH (who looks for the good in literally everyone) felt really taken for granted by these friends. Also, congrats... this news has zero effect on my life.

Sorry... that was a lot of snark for one post. Here's a kitten.

thj101

My UO is I hate summer.  I am literally the worst person in the world during the summer months, but once fall hits I am so giddy, happy, and probably slightly annoying.  DH loves summer, so the transition period between the seasons make for some interesting days

laurad75

I love reading these but not quite snarky enough to ever come up with anything original but today...I hate sonogram photos on FB.  They look creepy and its not cute or beautiful to anyone but the parents so why is it in my newsfeed?  Ew! 

thj101

@laurad75 yasssss....

bumpybump

@laurad75 100% agree. And who wants to look at someone else's uterus!?
