  I feel like there are a million times more gross aspects than beautiful ones about being pregnant.

  I'm still scarred from the Honey BooBoo appearance on last week's thread.

  I watch it and it's my one and only trashy TV guilty pleasure.  I watch it after the fact on Hulu when I'm cleaning the house and doing laundry. So much of it is totally staged and ridiculous, but it's kind of like a car accident or someone pulled over by the cops... you don't really want to watch, but it's hard to look away sometimes.

  I hate it when people refer to a baby boy as "lil man".  It makes my skin crawl.

  I used to have a coworker that referred to her daughter as "lil princess" exclusively. It killed me.

  Matte lipstick. I feel like it just makes your lips look dry and peely.

  I refer to my son as Little Man all the time. Is it the lil' or the whole phrase that bothers you?

  I do not allow anyone besides DH and myself to drive DD in the car. It is unpopular with MIL and people who think I am crazy.

  My ILs drive around with my toddler-age niece and nephew out of their car seats all the time. They've done it since my nephew was about a year old. They live in the country and think that it's not a big deal. We will be having a serious conversation about it if/when they keep our baby.

  @bshurdy I would flip the F out if I heard of anyone driving around with my kid out of the car seat.

  They are so weird. And I feel the same way about Love it or List it! I can get into it, but I really don't like the hosts. I prefer Love it or List it, Too.
  
  Also not a big fan of Flip or Flop. My H calls Tarek & Christina a poor man's Chip & Jojo.

  @TXmamatobe Agreed!  Matte lipstick is the worst!  My favorite cosmetic item is my Sephora color reveal lip balm. If I wear no other makeup, I will at least throw it on. It isn't heavy, and it doesn't leave those gross lipstick marks on your drink glass.

  Awww I do like them.  However, I always root for Taric and Christina to flop.  I really do not like those two.  Also, I don't like the pair on Love it or List it 2.

  Along the same lines, I hate it when people refer to babies as "mama or papa" MIL does it all the time with people's babies and it's nails on the chalkboard for me. I hope she doesn't do it with our kids or I may go crazy

  I have another one!  I can't stand it when people use the word "invest" when referring to purchasing something.  You invest in something with the intent of the value appreciating or for the asset to produce income for you. 
  
  You do not "invest" in a car (unless it's like a rare collector car that you are hoping to sell for more $$ or unless you are purchasing it to use it to produce income through business activity), you don't "invest" in furniture, and you sure as heck don't "invest" in a new TV.
  
  I feel very opinionated today.

  My UO is that I can't stand baby clothes, bedding, etc. covered with little cartoon looking animal characters, cars and trains, etc.  I guess it's because I never got into anything animated - even as a kid (There's another UO!) - so it just irritates me that all the baby gear I look at is covered in it.  I prefer more classic solid colors and patterns.

  It took me waaaay too long to figure that out and I ended up shouting "Mustache! Like Must Ask!" really loud at my desk. I got more than a few strange looks. So, thanks for that.

  There are so many horrible, cartoony options out there! I can't stand any of it.

  That hashtag gives me douchechills.
  
  My UO is that I hate hashtags.  Unless they're hilarious (spoiler: they never are).  Also, can someone explain to me the reason for hashtagging your child's entire name?  Like, #FirstnameMiddlename?  I really don't get it.
