2nd Trimester

can we start another round?

of unpopular opinions?

 I HATE HATE HATE people who totally abuse government assistance. I have a family member who boasts constantly about how she goes out and spends over 1,000 dollars at the club and buys a new pair of shoes everyday for two weeks but is on Medicaid and food stamps. If you have all of this excess money that you are always talking about then why can't you pay for your groceries and health insurance?

I love my new neighborhood but hate how there is so much trash and litter from the people building the houses. It blows into our yard and makes our neighborhood look bad and the nails that are litters have already costed my husband and I two tires!

I also hate stereotypes. When people look at me they think "another knocked up black girl" and my boss at work even SAID to me that he thought I was going to come in with "baby daddy" drama. My husband and I are both college graduates who own our own home, pay for our own insurance, and do pretty well. Very frustrating.

I think this turned into a vent. Sorry! Let's hear em ladies!

  • Hey I Hate stereotypes too, and I cannot stand it when people are ignorant about certain cultures and speak on things they know nothing about ! That irks me.

    I also cannot stand chauvinistic men (I know a couple)

    I also hate it when people don't tell their kids not to stare at people... I understand kids are curious but it is rude to just sit and stare at someone.

  • I hate people who take goverment assistance for granted too. I use to work next door to the welfare office and I would see people pull up in brand new cars, with a trail of kids in designer clothing walking in. And my jaw would drop. Here I am working my ass off, have a clunker of a car and trying to pay as much of my bills off as possible before the LO comes and these guys are taking the easy way out!

  • i hate that the old lady who lives next to us obsesses over our yard. when we moved in, there was no lawn, just fruit trees and rose bushes right by the front door. and the lot is huge... so when it rained, there were a ton of weeds.

    i do what i can, and i'm trying to turn the whole thing into a native garden so we don't use much water, but i'm only one person. i don't want to spend the money on a service when i would rather do it myself and use the money for baby crap. i just wish she didn't feel compelled to come stand over me while i work out there and say she wished the landlord would "do something" with it. uh, hello?

    I deal with this on a daily basis! Not from my boss, but from my staff. They've never met my husband so I guess they dont think he exists... They just think I got knocked up from some joe off the street!

    Oh my goodness! I COMPLETELY agree. That is awful!

    I get annoyed by people who are obliviously sexist, you know the kind that think they're being nice, but really they're just being sexist.

    And the people who call my office and have a tude just because they can, because they're not in person and think I'm just a voice. I'm a person! I want to call back this kid who just called me a beotch and cursed through the whole conversation before hanging up on me and do the same thing to him.

    Momma to four, and we're expecting one more!

    Indifferent   What kind of boss would say that to someone?  In fact, what kind of person would say that to someone?

    I've told him many times he's a jackass. I think he has so many problems he's just so rude to others. And there's no one to really complain to! It's a small business so there's no HR dept. I talked to man over him and he just shook it off. Very frustrating.

    I really dislike cats. I think they are useless animals with no personality.

    And I have to laugh when people say" Oh, but my cat is different, he's got a real personality! You'll love him!".

    Uh, nope. Never met one I like yet.

    Sorry, I have to butt in. Yes, I admit that I'm at *** at times. Would you rather me lie and say I'm the sweetest person ever? Lying not a good quality trait either. I feel there's certain times that you would need to set someone straight and if it comes down to it, I'll be a *** towards them. Not flaming, just answering your question of why boast about it.

    Also, my feet are really swollen and I wear ballet flats to work instead of wearing heels.

    no one says you have to lie, but why embrace it? that's what "self-proclaimed" means. trust us, if you just are a ***, it's not a secret.

    A couple of people have suggested that. But I've never had a dog until a couple of years ago and have never liked cats.

    In regards to the whole biitch thing.  I think people (myself included) have made statements about being a biitch in real life only when the whole "you are nasty and hiding behind a keyboard" argument comes up.

    I am a nice person but, if I need to be a biitch I am a biitch.  I also come off very biitchy when I first meet someone - not b/c I am trying to be rude but b/c I don't know the person.  I would imagine people classify me as a biitch b/c I speak my mind and let you know when you are being tacky, stupid, trashy, etc.  I don't hold back and sure as hell am not going to grin and lie about my true feelings - but I do all of this IRL too.

    ok, follow the conversation for a sec... it's the "proclaimed" part that is so weird. got it? why brag about being an ***, a ***, a ***, a jackass, a *** disturber, a jerk or a ***?

    trust me, we know when you are one. it's not something you have to tell us.

    oh, he won't give you any real ones. because of the dog thing, you know.

    frankly, i never got the whole dog v cat thing. i had both growing up. we don't have a dog now because we're both so busy and cats are generally less needy. i could never crate a dog just so i could have one and go to work.
