LOL - love the gifs! I don't think I really have an UO that I haven't used yet but I'll try to think of one!

It drives me up the wall when people say prego preggers KU and anything else besides pregnant. It doesn't take anymore effort to type pregnant.

Im sitting in a restaurant eating lunch and racing is on tv. I just don't get it. They drive in circles over and over.

That was always me until I went to a race and then worked security in the pits for another one and then I got hooked. There's so much that goes on other than the actual driving to win a race. I still have a hard time watching them on tv though...they're usually just on in the background. DS loooooves to watch them though. It's pretty hilarious.

I love this!

I've said this one a few times before but I want to say it again because it irritates me so much.

I hate how pregnancies are calculated. I hate that you are given 2 weeks for nothing because they're done since your LMP when you didn't ovulate until later. I know that most women don't know when they ovulated so I think it's fine to ask people when their last LMP was, but the calculation, in my mind, should be from ovulation/conception, NOT LMP.

As a result you have everyone thinking that pregnancies are over 9 mo long (because 40w is just a bit over 9 mo) but in fact pregnancies are less than 9 mo (38w, the actual gestation time for a "40w pregnancy," is less than 9 mo). You also have people getting confused about which trimester starts when, when the embryo becomes a fetus, etc. Because sometimes scientists (and REs, apparently) actually go by gestation, whereas doctors/OBs/the public go by LMP.

I know this is like the English (as opposed to metric) system and it will never change, but it still really bothers me.

JBM, I don't get racing either. I have been to a race and I still don't understand. DH's family watches them and I loathe going over there on Sundays.

This is one of my pet peeves too. I also hate when someone who is 36 weeks pregnant claims she is "9 months" pregnant. Um, no, you're not. You are 238 days pregnant which is about 8 months.

38 weeks is pretty darn close to 9 months though, so that part doesn't bother me.

HA! My brother just tried to pull this one with his wife. He was like, she is 8 months pregnant. I said no, she is 7 months. She is in her 8th month of pregnancy, but she doesn't get to say she is 8 months pregnant until she finishes that month!!! And he tried to tell me I was wrong.

Who's the master, Leroy? (at all things pregnancy?) ME!
