    This is not going to be an unpopular opinion, but I think the soundtrack in Hell must be all these freaking holiday commercials where the people in the ad sing a Christmas song with the words replaced by information about what they are selling. Omg it is so obnoxious, and I've heard five different, equally awful commercials like that in the last two days.
    Remember the Honda girl from a few years back??? I think she might headline that concert in hell...

    My UO for today is this app...oh dear lord it's acting up so bad and I wanna throw it across the room, but I like my phone so I won't.

    This is my 3rd try posting this. Let's see if I have permission to do that this time ...

    Not sure if this counts as an UO, but at my work we have several employees in their late teens/early 20s (all over 18). You would not believe how many have their moms call in for them when they miss work. I don't know if it's because they think we are more likely to believe a parent, but I want to yell "STOP! Your kids are adults, stop coddling them!" They're going to have a hard time as adults in the real world if they learn mom and dad will do everything for them. 
    Not unpopular. That's ridiculous. In most cases, there is no need to have someone else call you out sick. I did once have my DH call in for me because I couldn't leave the bathroom long enough to make the phone call. Texting wasn't really done yet.

    My mom called off for me ONCE. I wrecked my car and was in the er. If you're not deathly sick or in the hospital...you can call off yourself. It's not that hard. (I was 19 at the time. Shouldn't have been on the level 3 snow emergency roads anyway, but was told that's no excuse and I had to be at work or I'd be fired...yeah I didn't quite make it...jerks) it's annoying when parents coddle adults. I know they're your babies but I mean...really?

    Yeah...we have a 53 year old admin who has her husband call in for her.  Needless to say, respect for her is extremely low (for many reasons).

    I despise the chip debit cards. Some places want you to swipe, others want you to put it in the chip reader. The chip reader takes forever most of the time when I just want to buy my stuff at Target! I'm not sold on the extra security aspect either as I've had my card hacked since using it as a chip card (could be due to swiping at some retailers or online use but whatever).

    I agree that it's annoying and kind of pointless. At this point it only protects from fraud for face-to-face, swiped transactions, and that's not how a majority of fraud is committed these days, anyway. To me it just seems like an easy way for card brands to start holding retailers and processing banks liable for fraud.

    What else is annoying? (I don't have a chip card yet...boy oh boy I can't wait) when you go to the store and the person on front of you swipes their card 100x and it doesn't work because all of a sudden you have to use the chip thing...it just seems super shady to me. It took this lady in front of me literally 20 mins to check out at walmart the other day. Then somehow her card got stuck in the machine! I mean really. A simple swipe is enough.

    I really don't understand how TB determines which fruits go with which weeks. For example, this week I am a banana and LO is approximately 6 something inches across. Next week when LO is approximately 10 something inches across, TB says they are the size of a pomegranate. Where the hell are these people getting 10 plus inch pomegranates?!

    Starting week 21, baby is measuring from head to toe instead of crown to rump.  There isn't a 4 inch growth spurt, which is what it seems like.  Maybe the pomegranate is a crown to rump measurement?  I agree though... still not very accurate.  I like the Ovia app for checking sizes because they use more standard objects.  For example, at week 20 they say baby is the size of a paper airplane.

    Maybe not a U/O but I hate how negative people are at pregnancy! Yes it's not a bundle of kittens all the time but when people say "just you wait" or similar things it makes me ragey. You have no idea what people went through to get there, so maybe don't be so negative about the whole thing. This goes for when you have babies and children too. Suddenly people want to tell you how much it sucks.
    I actually did a blog post a few months ago on "The Silent Mommy War" or comparing of the rough ages instead of just being supportive. It drives me a bit crazy.

    I am a fairly grumpy pregnant person but I never do the "just you wait" stuff, just share the how much I don't like pregnancy when someone else mentions stuff they don't like. More commiserating than being negative.

    This is what I do lol I don't have pleasant pregnancies. With my first everyone told me how magical it would be to feel the baby kick...then every time he kicked I projectile vomited...yeah...not magical thanks. Did I enjoy being pregnant? Absolutely not. Do I enjoy being a mommy? Heck yes I do. It may not be fun, but it is so worth it that the miserable stuff doesn't even matter.

    Am I grateful that I was able to get pregnant again and that my child is healthy? Of course I am. Do I enjoy being pregnant? Hell no! I don't say "just you wait" to people but I'm not going to act like pregnancy is sunshine and rainbows either.

    UGH, the "just you wait" people are the worst! The first thing a friend of mine said to me when I told her I was pregnant was "Oh you are going to KILL your husband, just wait!" It really pissed me off. Same thing goes for all the people saying "enjoy sleep now!" or "your life is about to get a lot harder!" I know these people mean well, but what's the point?! I know I have a lot in store for me when the baby arrives. I was aware of these things when we decided to have children, I don't need reminders!

    I can't quote because TB won't let me, but I thin there's a difference between commiserating, or being grumpy sometimes and saying "just you wait". I've said how excited I am about such and such and had people say "oh just you wait." I think problem is when people seem like they want to scared you or whatever. Or the "well you'll never sleep again" umm duh, babies wake up a lot and we will be running on very little sleep, but I'm sure I will sleep again at some point. People are just so negative.

    eta: of course we all know pregnancy isn't a basket of rainbows, but it's also not forever.

    That's just ridiculous. If they're old enough to have a job then they should be able to call out. If I were an employer and someone's mom called to call them out of work, I'd fire them on the spot. Grow up. That's so stupid!

    @Sunshinebins I agree with you. I guess I am just lucky right now, because I have been enjoying every minute of my pregnancy. We went through fertility treatments though, so that might be why.

    (funny story: I told my DH to stop thinking with his d*ck the other day. I didn't even know I was going to say it until I heard it come out of my mouth and that is not generally a phrase or language I would normally use. I felt so bad I started crying while my DH started laughing hysterically at the whole situation. Seriously, no filter.)

    This. I had a hard time filtering myself pre-pregnancy. I speak my mind and don't think about it until later. It is SO MUCH worse now.

    I was behind an old lady recently who did that, but she was only buying like 3 items. I was so irritated I almost took my card and swiped it so she could just get out of my way!

    There is a car in my neighborhood with one of these stickers. Mom and Dad must be divorced as the "mom" sticker has been scrapped off. Makes me LOL every time I see it.

    I am one of the people that you would hate then. I use my check book for big purchases at the grocery story because it helps me keep my account balanced easier. I do make sure everything but the amount is filled out before I have to pay, though.

    I also use my check book to pay bills mostly. It just helps me stay organized!
