If you're doing a daily countdown on FB for anything (baby, teacher summer vacations, summer vacations for anyone, concerts...) you're an annoying AW asshole.

mamaloaf · June 2014

I could care less what some random person has decided to name their future baby. When they post in the official thread and have less than 10 comments, I'm all F*off, who cares?

Ohyeahandddd I just realized that someone on my bsc post-it has chosen the same name for baby as we were thinking and this troubles me deeply.

I've not appreciated it when people have brought overtired toddlers to nice restaurants at 9pm at night when we are trying to enjoy a fancy dinner.

I side-eye the hell out of anyone with a toddler out at a restaurant (or almost anywhere in public) that late at night. Shouldn't they be in bed?

UO: If you are in your last month of pregnancy you are going to be uncomfortable and not everyone needs to hear about it.

We are all in the same boat.

F that- you're the only ppl left to bother with how shitty I feel;) who will understand. Though I won't start an AW thread to get that point driven home.

WTF is a kid doing up and OUT that late at night? My kiddo has a late bed time (late rising time, we all work from home/ have a very relaxed schedule), but no way I'm taking him out then. No good comes of that!

I think that was inspired by the thread that inspires a corollary, that I posted in the confused FFC:
FTM's have no clue (except the ones that can admit this). sorry charlie, but this is all unlike anything you've ever handled...unless you've fostered or otherwise cared for a child for an extended period of weeks or more. But even then, that kid isn't yours for the next 18 years and rest of your life. Everything you thinking you will apply to whatever parenting "style" you choose will go out the window. The sooner you accept it the better.

lindslalala · June 2014

I know "how are you feeling?" is a totally innocent, conversational question but I seriously can't take it anymore. I feel like shit, same as the last time you asked me. Why can't everyone just ignore the fact that I'm hugely pregnant? I'd literally rather talk about anything else.

I don't get the hype over Frozen. It was a fine movie, but it was no Lion King. Let It Go started to grate on me long ago and I HATE that our radio station is now playing it all the time.

Tangled > Frozen

FTFY. The grammar errors are really bothering me lately.

***Grammar nazi hangs head in shame***

While you are indeed correct, technically, the irony of my statement that I could is true. Clearly I do care that hoshicrazypants and I have something in common.

knitsandgiggles · June 2014

I like to confuse people who ask me how I am feeling by being happy and upbeat. It is fun to watch them change gears mentally because I am sure they were waiting for me to list my complaints.

I completely agree, however, if you can frame your complaints in a clever way that is hilarious...I love it.

tealowl · June 2014

Don't complain about having to pay for your 'unaffordable' student loan, and then go on a week long vacation to FL. And then buy a camper. And then go RV camping every weekend. And then post ALL OF THE PICS ON FB.

I'm talking to you, cousin.

Don't make it known that you have no bills because you live in a rent free family owned house, yet complain you're somehow broke all the time, and then go on a week long vacation to FL. And then post ALL OF THE PICS ON FB.

I'm talking to you, BFF.

Don't go on a family trip to STL, and then complain that your expensive dinner of deep dish pizza wasn't as good as Chicago deep dish. I'm so sorry your dinner was only sorta good, it must have ruined your mini trip. I bet the zoo and the science museum was just awful too. Thanks for letting us know the price of your shitty meal.

I'm talking to you, other BFF.

Don't ramble about being on a 'fixed income' when I ask if I can stop a loan payment to you while on maternity leave, but you just bought a brand new Impala and a new $600 bike rack. And uh, you're taking us to Disney this year on your dime.

I'm talking to you, Dad.

UO - I apparently have a problem with people who complain about finances and then 5 seconds later are AW'ing their vacations online or buying $600 bike racks. Because the $400 wasn't good enough for the new car.

Skeemer · June 2014

@tealowl‌

We are financial soul mates.

Stop crying about an overdue $500 household bill & then post pictures of your new anniversary necklace from Jared's on FB.

I AM TALKING TO YOU IN-LAWS.

ARGHH! Drives me nuts!

I even said something to my friend about the dinner, I was like, "Hey, at least you could afford to go out for a nice meal on vacation!" and she replied, "No I can't! I had to use the husbands credit card!"

Uh, ok...

drunkenhandstand · June 2014

I cannot stand people who leave a car length of space between them and the car in front of them when stopped. I understand leaving space. I don't ride people's ass. But is a full 1-2 cars worth of space really necessary at a red light or in a drive-thru. Especially in a drive-thru line!! When they won't scoot their ass up so I can move up 3 feet to order or reach the window. You know who you are assholes with no depth perception.

I did this to my mom all the time because she made it pretty obvious she was just looking to rub it in my face. She's since given up asking how I'm feeling and now just makes statements like "Well you look like you're feeling _________." I think in hopes I'll just agree with her, instead she gets even more annoyed when I reply with "Nope! I'm feeling just fine!"

LOL. I do this with my DH's family and relatives because they've all been really weird about the pregnancy. His grandma asks me if I need to take a nap every time I see her. Or if I have a craving for pickles.

NOPE.

jnnfrrose6 · June 2014

I have 0 interest in the World Cup. There's a reason soccer isn't popular in America. It's boring as hell to watch and I don't understand why everyone is jumping on the USA bandwagon now. We've got a great bar a couple blocks from us. It's slightly British themed, so they've been all over the tournament. Good for them to drum up extra business, however every time the US has had a game, our street gets full of cars parked like shit from the people at the bar.

I agree, soccer is about as interesting as watching paint dry, normally. But, I've watched all the US games and even found myself getting into it. I think it's just the sense of patriotism - all of us rooting for the same team together. Kinda neat.

I agree with this 100%. People ran through the bar/restaurant DH and I were at last Monday to celebrate the US win, and DH says, "they know it's not football, right?".

Same here. Other than recently, I've been mildly uncomfortable. People do get taken aback when you don't complain!

People at work are like, "Oh, this weather is probably just making you miserable, SAD FACE." And I'm like, "No, I've got A/C, I'm totally good!"

"Oh, you look SOOOO uncomfortable, you won't make it to July!" "Actually, I don't feel too bad, which I'm really grateful for!"

And they're all like Y U NO COMPLAIN.

Who else am I going to bitch to?

I know what you mean though. A few nights ago I looked at DH and said "all I do is BITCH BITCH BITCH". He agreed. Two more weeks.

cakebatter27 · June 2014

I hate all the lurkers coming out of the woodwork to post their birth announcement and story. Um, have we met? I didn't even know you were pregnant.

And @tealowl‌ I agree 100%. I have a friend who can't afford "to get married" but won't stop planning little weekend getaways with her BF. It's like $75 for a marriage license. Go get married already and stop bitching. Same friend always wants a nice vacation. Then stop taking shitty 3 day weekend trips and take one nice 10 day trip to wherever!

@tealowl‌ Yes!! My MIL complains about how poor they are yet they take crazy vacations. I'm not talking about just Florida, people...they go for 2-3 week vacations to China, Israel, Sweden! Plus occasional cruises! AND she had a tummy-tuck before SIL's wedding!! Yeah, they are so broke. And my husband believes it - he said the other day he wished we could help them out financially so his parents could "enjoy" their retirement. I hope my retirement days are as miserable as their's!!

tealowl · June 2014

One saying S/O and I have adopted is, "Don't complain about being poor if all your bills are paid."

We may not have a lot of fun money right now, but we have a roof, and cars, and food.

Plus, we are getting treated to a huge Disney trip this year thanks to my Dad, so we are grateful.

cyndelgrace · June 2014

I don't understand modern medicine's fascination with checking the cervix. It's like a 15 year old boy's fascination with the vagina, when we all know there is more to it than that.

I don't understand when adults are incapable of swearing. Or using being a new parent as the reason why they aren't swearing on their FB status. I'm sure your 3 month old child has already learned to read and is on FB reading your statuses.

Why do you think all adults need to swear? I get if they did before and are now not on FB because of their child that is weird, and maybe I'm just reading it wrong, but I don't think you need to swear.....

----------------- You are reading it wrong. I'm not saying people need to swear, I just find it weird when someone writes "f**k yeah! (Not swearing because I'm a mom now)", when they refuse to use a swear word when they're repeating something, or when they even have to change WTF to something else because of what the F stands for.

Ahhh ok then yeah that's weird.

This might have been mentioned before but I was on wic until dd was a yr old and it pissed me off when people would sell their baby food and formula on craigslist especially when it was obviously from wic. DD stopped eating puress and we had leftovers so I gave them to a shelter type place, maybe that was wrong but it annoyed me seeing people try to get money for something they got for free (and maybe I'm unfairly judging and it wasn't wic)

Pretty sure it's illegal to sell WIC Formula/food...

Jbosarge85 · June 2014

tundrabunny said:

@Jbosarge85 - Genuinely curious here - how could you tell the formula they were selling on craigslist was specifically from WIC? Did they say so in their ad?

No and that's why I added maybe I unfairly judged but it was usually sold with beech nut baby food which was a wic approved baby food.

Emilyfae · June 2014

As I stated in another thread today, I think ALL organized religion is ridiculous. So kill me now.

bullybutt · June 2014

UO: It is just as wrong to judge people for having religious beliefs as it is to judge people for not having religious beliefs.

I believe that's a popular opinion, actually.

mamakiss · June 2014

I almost prefer people to push their religious beliefs than people to push their anti-religious agenda. At least religious people have a reason to fight, trying to take faith away from others is, IMO, very rude.

If you don't believe or subscribe to any belief system, cool. STFU and let other people do their own thing, ESPECIALLY IF THEY AREN'T EVEN TRYING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT.
