My UO - Just about everything I've read by Nicholas Sparks is the worst thing ever. I just don't see the appeal of his books.
Never read his books but, if the movies are even close to what the books are like, we can no longer be friends. Those movies touch my soul and make me cry about stuff I'm not even going through. I actually cried once (mega fat tears) because I watched the notebook and the vow in the same day and didn't want to end up with any form of memory loss and forget about DW. Yep.
@Skeemer lol let's not forget you almost abandoned me over sour twizzlers! Aside from that, I think I can forgive your dislike for Nicholas Sparks and his magnificent mind. I think :-<
I love The Clintons, but I don't want Hilary to run for President. I just want her to be a grandmom. She's an amazing lady, and I admire her deeply. I'm just over their political lives. I've had a huge crush on Bill since the 90's.

UO: I am over seeing all of these 5 picture beauty challenges on Facebook. There are enough selfies that I don't want to see a big collage of them all together. And no I won't be "accepting the challenge"
indoor cats are gross. Kitty litter grosses me out to no end. I think cats are adorable and like them but the kitty litter uckkkk I just can't
Outdoor cats taking shits in people's gardens and carrying God knows what insects or parasites on their coats into your house is so much more ideal.
I would rather deal with kitty litter than having to stand next to a dog while it poops, pick up said poop, and then need to carry it around while finishing a walk. Or having to find poop landmines in my backyard. Now that's gross.
I hate when ppl have to announce their heterosexuality to me by saying "no homo". For instance, 5 minutes ago at the market.
Bag girl: Hey. I see you had the baby!
Me: Yup, this is the little guy.
Bag girl: you look really great too! I mean, no homo though.
Me: aw damn. I totally had plans to take you in the freezer aisle but, I guess that's out of the question now what with "no homo" and all.
Bag girl: oh......
Me:
WTF. People say this shit? I can't even...
You're response is perfect.

i love how people can't even give someone a compliment without having to qualify it. as if giving another woman a compliment is so rare these days that someone would think you're coming on to them instead of just being nice. weird.
@jensavicci - WTH?! That's the most ignorant thing. I mean, why the need to clarify a compliment? I guess when I tell my coworker "you look nice today" I should also say "but I'm still not sexually attracted to you, nor should you take that flattery as a sexual advance".
Seriously, people are so dumb.
There's a super nice guy at my work who I see maybe once a month. He would say, "You look lovely today ma'am. And please let your husband know I said that." LOL. If he wasn't so super nice I would think he's a total cheese wad for saying let my husband know. But I think he was trying to pay a compliment but not come across as a perv. But yeah, I never once thought he wanted me to ditch my DH & run away with him. He didn't really need the disclaimer.
@jensavicci ugh, that "no homo" crap pisses me off!!! My BFF is bisexual. She and I have known each other for 12 years, and she always greets me with a hug, kiss on the cheek, and a "hello beautiful!!" Someone once said to me "you know she's GAY, right?? And she's totally coming on to you!!" Um...no, she was not. And even if she was, what's it to you?? Just because I happen to be a married Mormon...?? Go away, ignoramus.

I would say I can't believe people actually say that to you, but after the things people have said to me during this pregnancy...I totally believe it. I was so tempted to make a sign at work that said something like "It's been ___ minutes since a customer freaked out and made awkward comments about how very pregnant I am."
My UO: Which is actually unpopular with me as well, but it has a reason. I hate smoke detectors. Specifically, the ones in our house. One of them went off at 4am for no bloody reason (I grumbled and sent DH out to make sure the house wasn't burning down. It wasn't. We also don't know which smoke detector is the culprit.)
You have ONE JOB, smoke detector. ONE. JOB. Detect smoke. There was no smoke. Your batteries are fine. You woke up a very pregnant and already sleep-deprived woman who was so jumpy it took another hour and a half to calm down and get back to sleep. Not cool, smoke detector...not cool at all.
This thread is sunshine and lollipops when it should be filled with ignorant opinions that make me want to claw my eyes out. Where did all the crazies go?

This thread slowed down a looooong time ago. I think we drew all the up front and obvious crazies out. And from what I've heard, the regulars will slowly crack one by one.
Not sure if this qualifies but since I'm delaying vacuuming my house by bumping... I don't like curtains. It's impossible to find ones the right color, the right length, etc. And they cost a billion $$$ it seems like. Oh, and then add in curtain rods. Ugh. The house we are building will have nice, wood blinds in all the windows. I refuse to buy curtains.

I would love just to have all the windows on our home tinted by professionals. I'm sick of DS & our dogs tearing up our dang blinds! We live an acre off the road so I'm not too worried about creepers.
Bacon is a nice accent flavor, it's not a meal in itself.

@Skeemer tinted windows sounds like an even better option! My pups are usually good about minding blinds but sometimes little puppy noses work their way in between. But the curtains were worse- he tried to pull them off the wall :-/ and to think he looks so innocent...
I go swimming with my 18 month old almost every day. It's nice bonding, great exercise, and helps her sleep at night. Yesterday, my husband's cousin felt compelled to tell me I shouldn't swim because I'm in my 3rd tri and I shouldn't listen to my midwife who said swimming is great exercise. I didn't want to cause problems but I really wanted to tell her I'd rather take advice from someone with a medical degree then someone who doesn't believe in vaccinating their kids.
So I guess my uo is I hate people thinking they know more then a Dr because. "They looked it up online"

I have another one. If you have a child that forgets to flush the toilet and they go to the bathroom in a public place please check that they flushed. It's nasty going into a stall and seeing a toilet with poop in it.

Lol I am sleep deprived! Swore it was Saturday when I woke up.

Edited because I do know the difference between your and you're.
@jensavicci
Wait...what?! People say that to you? Is that like a legit saying or something?
I'm just....I don't know what I am but that ticks me off.

Thank you, ladies. It's not always said to me but, it's often heard SMH. I think it's thrown around as a joke but, it's really just stupid.
