I had a whole rant about TWs after someone elsewhere mentioned them and then I saw a thread on the May BMB, but I figure it's more of a FFFC than an UO.
I think black coffee is disgusting but tea shouldn't have milk in it.
DD hot coffee sucks and is way too sweet even if you tell them not to add sugar to their flavour swirls, whereas the flavour shots don't taste like what they're aiming for. And their breakfast sandwiches aren't worth the money (seriously? an English muffin with an egg and a slice of cheese for $3?), and their hash brown tot things are gross. (FFFC: I still go to DD for their frozen mocha coffee).
I think the U.S.'s views on work-life balance are appalling, as is the fear-mongering that forces people to go to work with the flu or bronchitis or pneumonia because they don't want to get fired for being human. ^Doubt that's an UO, but, was on a roll.
@izza2, I do love DD coffee, but they definitely over cream/sugar. I get the shots, not swirls and add my own. And I think there sandwiches are over priced, but I love the wake up wraps, which are cheap. They are so simple, but so yummy. I will drink black coffee, if it is the only option. Milk is okay in a chai, (but I only drink my chais dirty). If I drink tea, it is black and unsweetened.
My UO, I don't get why people love Chrissy Teagan.
@izza2 I saw the TW thread on May BMB and thought it was a really important point. Also it was the fastest I have ever seen a thread get pinned. It was within hours!
I'm indifferent re DD. But I am a Starbucks lover all the way.
I cant think of an UO right now. Maybe that I like Starbucks best is my UO. We shall see.

My UO is that I really don't like having long hair. It's hot and gets in the way a lot. Side note, I'm chopping my hair off again today.
@izza2 - +1 on the work/life balance sucking in the US. Also unpaid parental leave is stupid. @holly321 - I don't understand why people like most celebrities, especially the Kardashians.

WTH why are all of them pregnant all of a sudden? That makes me unnecessarily ragey. I mean, I know it has no impact on my fertility (or lack thereof) but ugh, why?
@RVAmom315, samesies. And my phone sees how much I Google TTC and fertility things, and is like, "oh hey, you probably want to know all about these annoying celebs that are KTFU right now!" And gives me notifications ALL THE TIME.
For me it's Beyonce who I really don't understand the following. Like she's a good singer and entertainer, but I don't understand the queen bee following.

@RVAmom315 I am legit furious about how Khloe is talking now, though. A while back she said she had a hormonal problem (many people interpreted it as pcos) and needed to do ivf. Now she's saying she didn't really try ivf. She's lying about fertility now or she was lying about ivf then and that makes her a POS in my book. This isn't a fun game.
Obviously Tim Horton's has the BEST coffee. But I moved away and it's reserved for visits home now.
Also, crazy celeb following in general is weird, but Chrissy Teigen the Kardashians, and Beyonce? Why them? What's the draw there?
My UO, I don't want to be "neighborly" with my neighbors. We've been invited to 2 parties this month, and I just don't really want to know anyone on my street THAT much. When I'm watering my plants, I don't want to feel obligated to stop and chat. I want to get my ish done, and get back into the AC. BUT, I do want them to pet sit for me when I go out of town.
@adirat Oh I didn't see that! WTH. I know that when she was with her ex, they were having problems but I didn't know the particulars. Just another reason to strongly dislike that family!
@br0co1ii - I'm the vice president of my neighborhood association *sniff* It's my dream to get all my neighbors out of their houses and have a block party! All our friends have moved and my hometown friends are still in my hometown (same with DW) so we have no one. There are young families moving in nearby and I want to pounce in their yards and shout LET'S BE FRIENDS because then our kids can play together and we can drink beer on my deck and we'd all be besties. But in order to not be super creepy the feeling has to be mutual. Oh, well.
My UO (though I doubt it's unpopular) - I HATE inspirational messages written on food packages, especially desserts. No, Dove, I don't need your "permission" to treat myself. And I don't need my damned yogurt to tell me to "dream bigger, live bigger". Take your cliches and slap them where the sun don't shine.
I believe there is a special place in hell for people who always hit "reply all" on email messages or reply directly on a group blast when their response is really only intended for the initial sender.

Going off @alohamora It grates my nerves if I send and email to a specific group and get a reply with more people copied that have no involvement. Or worse, when they copy my boss or upper management on the email. Why?

This happens to me all the time at my secondary job. It's not even anything that has to do with them. When I would email the scheduler to add me to the schedule, she'd reply back and CC the nurse manager, the supervisor on during the day (not even the day I'm working; just the one on at the time she replies to the message), and the VP of nursing/"department head". Like they all give a shit that I'm coming in for 4 hours.
Also @adirat - I read that she lied about having IF because she just didn't want to have kids with her ex. So he thought they were TTGP, she was TTA, and when nothing happened she told the world she would have to go through IVF because of IF, instead of telling her ex she didn't want kids with him.
@MrsMiller8588 I'm so guilty of this!! It's usually because I want my executives to witness the BS I'm dealing with... LOL - I'm sure this isn't the case for you!

I have the opposite problem. I hit direct reply when I mean to send it to the group.
My UO on the topic of emails, I loathe FB messenger. Even more so when people try to contact me through there for business/collaboration purposes. My business email is on my business FB page and my personal email is on my personal page. Just use one of those so I don't have to scroll up and down to read your long ass message.
