Re: UO Thursday? Anyone?

  • Mine is, I can't stand Glee. I watched a few episodes when it first came out and then got annoyed because there was too much singing. Karaoke.

    Do they really need to make a movie.

  • I can't stand people who cannot walk.  This includes walking down the middle of the parking lot to their car (this is when they deserve to be a hood ornament on my vehicle), walking in front of you and suddenly stop but offended when you almost walk over them.

    I really hate the people that see you coming out of the door (double doors), will stop and wait for you to open the door for them and come in the WRONG SIDE because they are too effing lazy to open their side.

    Agreed. I don't think you'll find these that unpopular. Stick out tongue

  • I don't get the little stickers on the back of your car with a stick-person family, animals, hobbies, etc....I think we're going a little overboard with those now. 

    That being said, DH LOVES the Disney ones, and I'll probably end up with the darn things in my stocking at Christmas.

    I can't stand those. The worst are the ones that have all the names one them "Hi, would you like to know all my kids names just in case you wanted to lure them. "

  • Also, I can't stand kids having Facebook/MySpace pages.  There should be an age limit.  I work in the education field, and I have students (as young as elementary) requesting me all the time. 

    Inappropriate and just asking for some cyber perv to come along.  I took a class on internet safety for families, and it is SO SCARY to see how easy it is for random people to find out all kinds of info about kids.

    I decided to watch a couple of the movies and boy do they suck donkey d!ck. Acting is horrible. I couldn't get through them. Showtime is doing a month of suck because they keep playing the damn movies over and over again. Also, Robert Patterson is NOT attractive IMO.

    I wanted one. But the original Army (wider and bigger). I test drove a used one and loved it. I didn't think they were all too extreme for when I was living up north and trying to climb up our mountain in the winter. Sort of like some of the big trucks with huge lifts and tires. The new smaller versions suck and are too commercial for me.

  • I hate SUVs.  Too often they're driven by either women that are too short to see over the steering wheel and drive accordingly or idiots that have no idea how to drive a large vehicle.  Sometimes both.  I also think that many of the new "SUVs" are really just Sport Utility Vans.  DH and I both agree that you should have to pass a special driving test to drive a SUV as so many people around here are clueless as to how to drive and park them.

    Speaking of parking SUVs, what's up with the habit of taking up two parking spaces and/or parking over the lines?  When that happens I like to park as close to them as possible so I can get out but they can't get into their vehicle.  Maybe they'll be less greedy next time.  My car's old and has spent enough time in a major city that, unfortunately, it already has dinged doors.  So another ding, while really annoying, isn't the end of the world.  I'm also not taking about situations where the parking spaces are ridiculously small; that's just unfair and annoying to everybody.  However, my gripe does apply to situations where SUV drivers decide that they fit into a space marked for a compact car, complete with obvious signage. 

    I also don't get why people have trucks when they don't use the bed.  What's the point?  If you don't plan to haul anything, you don't need a truck!  It's so weird to see someone with a pristine truck bed.  I'm not saying you can't protect your paint (spray on truck liners work well for that), or keep your vehicle looking nice, but why bother spending the extra money to get a truck if you refuse to use the largest part of your vehicle?

    I LOVED the first season.  Then, I got bored.  I found that I was deleting them without watching them this past season, so I quit taping them.  As much as I love music, I also love a story line with actual character development.

  • s/o NB photos: I know the cheese stands alone, but I really don't like this trend of naked baby/knit hat. Or really, naked baby at all.

    I think they are really cheesy, and I cannot imagine hanging that in my house. I was super annoyed that the photographer took DD's shirt off during her session w/ DH (I was in the car, minding the idiot Doodle who was banished due to bad behavior.)

    Of course, I love a tutu pic, so I suppose cheesy is in the eye of the beholder.

    I am aware this opinion will be unpopular.

  • I hate when people post about the offboards as 'the batcave' or something douchily similar.

    Especially b/c these offboards don't seem to allow everyone access so I think it's very _shitty_ to talk about it on here and then make others feel left out.

    NOt that I feel left out b/c the last thing I need is another board to belong to. No thanks.

    YESSSSS!!!  And my niece LIVES in these!  

    I also don't like babies being dressed just in onesies.  I know they're completely covered up but, to me, it's like hanging out in your underwear.  I always slap a pair of shorts, pants, or a little skirt over DD's onesies, & pretty much everyone thinks I'm crazy.  

    But just wearing a onesie is SCADS better than just wearing a diaper.  ::shudders::
