I do not think Michael Phelps is the best Olympian ever.  He's definitely the most decorated Olympian with all of his medals, but to call him the best just because he has more chances to medal isn't fair.   Look at that woman shooter, Rhode, who has medaled in the last 5 Olympics.   Or Misty May-Treanor & Kerry Walsh, who had never lost a single set in 3 Olympics before yesterday, and are still on track for the gold. 

He's a jerk.

DH said that he's probably listening to "Who Let The Dogs Out" on his giant headphones.

My buddy said he always looks like he'd rather be at home watching the Olympics on TV like us.

I said he'd rather be at home watching TV with us and rippin' b0ng hits on the couch while listening to "Who Let The Dogs Out".

And now, I will never be able to look at a swimmer with their ear phone and not hear 'Who Let the Dogs Out'.

Yellow cars look like taxi cabs to me. Michael Phelps is a losah. I dislike when someone says, "period". As in shut up this is the last thing I'm going to say and what I say goes...

My UO is sometimes I want to be the grammar police in real life. Every time someone says, "Can I axe you a question?" I want to say, "Please don't kill me!" it's ASK people, not AKS or AXE. Say it right! 

I actually studied this phenomenon in my linguistics class in college. It is called metathesis. In short, it occurs through years of language changes and (in the case of the U.S., particularly) because of the melting pot of languages we have here. It is really fascinating.

My UO is that I hate the UO and FFFC threads and yet I cannot look away. I am a rainbows and puppies kind of gal and I love the happiness that the contests on Tuesdays and Wednesdays provide. Then at the end of the week, these occur and usually start some drama that makes me feel all sad at the end of the week.

Here's mine: I hate it when people end a statement with "just sayin'." This doesn't make the previous sentiment any less stupid/offensive/etc. It's like walking into a crowded room, letting a juicy one rip, then saying, "just fartin'."

 

You absolutely must do this!

I almost googled what a "losah" was because I read it wrong. And your siggy pic is absolutely amazing. Period.

Gracypug:

I get extremely annoyed by "IS this a growth spurt" posts. I try just to not open them because I want to say something rude for no reason. It just drives me insane when some says "What does the 3 month growth spurt look like" umm probably like all the other ones! I really don't know why they annoy me. I try to just skip those threads. 

 

On another note I also hate when people say "just sayin" 

I've been thinking the same damn thing!  Babies are in a perpetual growth spurt andplusalso, just because a baby wants to eat more than normal doesn't mean you have to label it!

haha. Yesterday in an interview he said" last night was a long night."  Like it was no big deal. Little bit of an understatement there.

Lol your summary is like saying "Evolution happened through change."  No duh!!  I want to know more.  How do pronunciation shifts occur (aunt -- ant / oughnt)?  Why don't more Americans sound British?  How did the Southern accent come about??

My UO is that I hate remixes.  I hate when a DJ or radio station takes a perfectly good song and makes a remix out of it.  So lame.

This x Taylor Swift. Come on woman, we don't need country music club mixes.

I always thinking they are listening to Ellen's voice saying, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming."

 My UO: I think Ryan Lochte is a bigger loser than Michael Phelps. The diamond encrusted grill, dude? Really?!

My UO is that I hate smartphones. They're useful, but I hate what they turn people into. DH just got one for work and it seems like he's constantly glued to that thing. I don't know if it makes people rude or just highlights the rudeness, but I can't stand talking to someone and then have them check their phone in the middle of a conversation. I'm sorry, but saying, "go ahead, I'm listening," while glued to the phone is super annoying.

I love my smart phone, but I hate when people use their smart phone in a restaurant.  I am constantly making DH put his away.  The other day, I was out to lunch and watched a mom, dad, and 2 kids at the table next to me.  The mom and dad were playing around on their phones the entire time they waited for the food while the kids just sat there. 

I see crap that all the time, it really grinds my gears!  My BIL is so bad about this.  We went out to eat with him and it took him like 45m to order bc the whole tint we were looking at the menu he was playing with his phone.  The waiter came over and asked if we were ready and BIL was like" oh we have menus?   Sorry bro I didn't even look at it".  Yeah he also is the guy that says, "bro" ugh I dislike him so much lol

I feel bad for women who are so into Fifty Shades of Grey.  I have no desire to read this book after learning it is essentially porn for lonely housewives.  I also feel really embarrassed for adult Twihards.  It's just all very sad.

MUPPETinMA:

I judge people who bring babies/small children to the movies.  Of course YOUR kid is different.  YOUR kid won't cry.  I pay a lot of money to go to the movies . . . I don't want to listen to your child cry/babble/talk through it.  If you don't want to get a babysitter, wait until the movie comes out on Redbox.

I brought Lily to see Ice Age 874 in theaters, but it was a kids movie during the day and I left the theater when she started crying... and it was more of a whimper then a cry.  But I wouldn't bring her to an adult movie unless it was a mommy movie (like the ones the bump arranges)....

And I HATE the word glue.  I think it's icky.

IttyBittyBee:

I hate discount stores like Marshalls, TJ Maxx, etc.  

The clothing is so jam packed into the racks and I feel like I get so frustrated trying to find something decent, and then when I do, its either got a stain on it, a rip, its on the wrong hanger and instead of the M I wanted, its really a size XXS and wont even fit over my gigantic head..  this list goes on!

Stores like that are such a cluster-f*ck.  I try really hard to like them... I just cant take the madness and have zero patience to fluff through all of the crappy clothing, to try to find one semi-decent peice.

 

I can't STAND those stores. The potential bargins are just not worth it to me.

I had a yellow car before kids, and I really, really miss it. I don't like all yellow cars though, it has to be a certain color of yellow.

It took me forever to get through book one.. Book two was ok.. and Im on Book three only because everyone tells me it gets better..... It's alrigth but it runs hand in hand with twilight and it annoys the crap out of me...

I tried to read it, and I couldn't... it hurt my soul a little.  There is so much poor writing in the first 15 chapters (I think that's how far I got) that I just stopped... 

And I know someone who makes sparkly pictures of Edward and Bella and makes them their FB pics regularly... Not her super cute daughter.  Not her husband.  Not herself.  I think it's a little sad.

It is so early. It is only 3:15.

My UO is that mint chocolate chip ice cream is absolutely disgusting. It is the worst flavor ever. Mint and chocolate shouldn't even be combined because the mint ruins the chocolate. I know, flame away. 

THANK YOU! You are not alone. Chocolate+mint should be banned, it totally ruins the chocolate. Yes ladies, this means I also don't like thin mints! My one exception to this rule are andes mints, those things are amazing. 

Yes to all of this except Andes give me heartburn (yeah, I still sometimes eat the pallet cleanser or pillow topper when I'm really hungry, but I hate it).

I actually hate mint everything...yuck to mint! 

No, no, no ladies!  Chocolate and fruit is gross.  Why would you want to ruin chocolate by adding something healthy to it?

FlyHigh37:

I dislike the abbreviation "fml".   That's a horrible thing to say!   

Me too!  And people use it on the stupidest things.  "The store didn't have the orange popsicles I wanted so I had to get green.  FML!"  Really?  There are so many more things wrong with the world.

Thats awful. Have I read the Twilight books? Yes. Am I a crazy who goes to midnight showings and hate Kristen Stewart for cheating on Robert Pattenson? Nope.

you can not be human.  I LOVE cheesecake.  I dont like cherries though, so i just buy the glaze and put it on top.  YUMMMM!!

I do this!

learningfromlife

Oh and when people say LOL like it's a word I want to throw things at them. Wanna be GI Joe does this like 10 times a day at work and it drives me nuts. It is an acronymn that is overused (I'm guilty of this) but it is not a word!!!

I love MY tj Maxx but it is very nice and organized, but our Ross isn't and I hate it. I think it depends on local management

I loved Fifty Shades of Grey! The porn was definitely overkill, though.

After teaching the classics all school year long, it's nice to sit down and read trashy novels!

I also hate fml. It is disrespectful when you say it while other people struggle to live

Okay what the hell does FTW mean!? I never knew and thought I had finally cracked the code as "for the win". Fill me in!

Mint chocolate is my favorite flavor combination. Take that, haters!

I love cheesecake and mint!

I dislike the olympics but LO enjoys watching it apparently.

I have a smartphone and when DH and I are at a restaurant and waiting for food we do pass and play "words with friends"

I read not only twilight but fifty shades of grey.  I was so over the sex "scenes" in fifty that I started skipping paragraphs.   

I hate it when people think I can just "stop in" with a baby that requires his own bag of supplies.

I always thought FTW meant f the world??? haha When I was in high school the boy's would write that on stuff. Also, I'm partial to mint chocolate anything. We have mint patty frozen yogurt at the ice cream place down the street and it's wonderful- like a big bowl of love <:

I thought that people did hash tags on Facebook because they were cross posting on twitter. 

I also hate the FML abbreviation. When my friend's best friend was alive and people said that or posted it, he would reply with, "I am 22 and dying from cancer." It really puts things into perspective.

Cheesecake is amazing, especially with chocolate and/or fruit. 

xproudxnerdx

My UO- I hate everyone who posts UOs about food because then I crave. This pregnant flab won't fall off with liberal applications of ice cream. Trust me, I tried.

I hate most fresh fruit, I prefer artificial flavoring. The one fruit that I hate as artificial and only like fresh is apple.

Yeah, I googled it and asked MH and everything says for the win. And it was her opinion that it didn't mean that. So I'm lost.
