I hate having to take off my shoes at other
peoples houses. You host a party? great, i'm coming and i'm leaving
my shoes on. stupidest thing ever making people take their shoes
off.
Oh, the gif party made me think of a UO. I don't like bridal party dances. Especially over the top ones with outfit changes and smoke machines. You aren't Yonce. Even on your wedding day.
@blackhottamales. Oh no! Eye waited a whole & refreshed before starting, lol. (I’m using Eye until @bumpadmin BGs fix the mobile issue of typing the singular letter).
Eye saw your post on shoes. I’m an a*hole that has people take off shoes. However...... it is typically only family and super close friends. If you’re randomly stopping by or we host a dinner, eye won’t ask. It makes me SO stabby MIL doesn’t remove her shoes, even after we explained why we do so.
@blackhottamales I don't mind taking my shoes off at other people's houses, in fact I default to it now because MH is the crazy person about it. He is passive aggressive about it too, like, he never told my dad to take his shoes off ever, just constantly bitched that he wouldn't notice the pile of shoes by the door when he came over, and leave his shoes on. Eventually I got sick of it and told him to take his shoes off when he came over and...wait for it...he does it! Imagine that. Oh my god I am clearly still bitter about this lol.
My UO...I like to grocery shop. I go with a list and I write down the cost of everything and add it up and then take things back/swap out stuff to hit my budget goal. I love going to BJs, but kinda don't because its made it so I only go to the grocery store for a few things at a time that we run out of every week.
My UO: I don't think we should have a staff holiday party this year... it's just too much and I don't really want to socialize with any of you (my coworkers).
About shoes, I don't super push the issue, for parties, but smaller groups I would. I don't like taking my shoes off either, and have a foot phobia, so I carry fresh socks and put them on at people's houses.
@SmashJam, I generally enjoy grocery shopping, if I get to it early enough in the day. A lot of times it's 9 or later when I get to go and I am exhausted.
@jrm_14 I think the I thing is an iPhone glitch, not a bump glitch. I know a bunch of people have been having that problem on Facebook too.
@skilledsailor I agree! I mean, maybe if that’s your personality or you happen to be a pro dancer/choreographer, but otherwise, no. Just stop. Do your dance and let me eat/drink in peace.
@smashjam you can do my grocery shopping anytime. It is easily my least favorite chore, especially after going back to work.
AFM: i’m over Halloween candy already. I’m not sure what to do with the HUGE bowl sitting on my counter.

@josie12367 Taylor Swift has a new album?! I'm going to go order it right now! I looove her as well. My UO is that I think elf on a shelf is terrifying and weird. I unfollowed so many people on Facebook last year who posted daily pictures of their elves. No one cares about your elf! Eta: words
I have another one...I don't see how the FB groups for TTC allow TMI pictures. I don't want to see that! Are we, TB, the one sane TTC group around?! I do not want to see your CM! AND IT'S NOT EVEN ANONYMOUS!
@blackhottamales I totally hear you on the shoes thing! DH hates shoes in the house so he always asks people to take them off but then you have a huge pile of shoes by the front door, hate that look! If people are more comfortable with shoes on they should be able to wear them, especially if they accessorized lol! @SmashJam I like grocery shopping too! I get a good playlist going and get through my list while rocking out, it relaxes me for some reason. @josie12367 Dont even be ashamed about tswift, i love her too.
My UO: I hate coffee. Everyone thinks im crazy for not needing it but i just cant stand the taste and typically get really wired and sick feeling when I have any kind of caffeine so I would assume coffee would do it to me too.

@josie12367 seriously? Gross! Had no idea those groups existed. Yuck! @darkstar42 Yes! So many people posted tons of pics of their elves and thought it was so funny. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's ridiculous.
I have another one: I cannot get into Outlander. On its face I should LOVE it but...it seems like a whole bunch of deep musings with crazy scottish trance music and it seems like its trying too hard to be deep. So I can't keep watching it.
@josie12367 that is gross! Like, I would think that if any place would allow pics of CM it would be here, which is anonymous. Posting pics of that on FB is intense. Also are those groups private? Because who knows how many of those people have the privacy setting that lets people see what you post to and EVERYONE gets to see their CM pics. I'm assuming its private.
@smashjam Yeah, it's a closed group of 15K...Lol. Still, I would never post anything like that. I immediately removed myself. I just wanted to see if it was worth it...it wasn't. These chicks were posting all kinds of pictures, and asking about ovulating twice, and saying bs like every other sentence. I had a headache from reading that page.
@offtoneverland Yeah, the exist and it's scary. There wasn't one factual piece of ttc support anywhere...it was the blind leading the blind. I could do it, and removed myself within the day. I'm happy right here on TB
@offtoneverland We have an elf on the shelf and I hate him. He is so much work! I warn anyone that hasn't started yet to stay away because once you're in you're stuck forever.
@josie12367 That is super way TMI! Barf! I hate the people that are ridiculously stupid about TTC issues and ask absurd questions - that's what google is for people!
@SmashJam I loves the books and have been reading them since college - the show sucks so hard!
@kobrien827 I don't love plain coffee on it's own - its gross. Mix it with enough milk and sugar in a latte/mocha/fancy form and I'll drink it!
@josie12367 those groups are crazy! People buying progesterone and taking it on their own without a doctor, taking Vitex indiscriminately, CM, period blood... Yikes.
My UO is that I thought Thor: Ragnarok was great. I some of you say it was trying too hard to be funny. Trying? It was hilarious! All the jokes landed for me. I thought it was a fun, refreshing flick. Best Thor movie yet.
I hate having to take off my shoes at other
peoples houses. You host a party? great, i'm coming and i'm leaving
my shoes on. stupidest thing ever making people take their shoes
off.
... people leave their shoes on in other people's houses? I've literally never heard of that. I always thought it was weird when I saw people with shoes on in tv shows. Is it because I'm Canadian? Lol
@Dilynne That could be! I'm also Canadian and would never not take my shoes off at someone's house and expect others to do it at mine. Wearing shoes in the house would make for such dirty floors - I can barely keep up with cleaning mine as is! And I picture kids crawling around on floors that have had shoes on them that tracked in stuff from who knows where....*barf* (No offence to anyone who keep shoes on in their house - I have excessive weird germ issues so I'm probably way over thinking this! But seriously - how often do you have to clean your floors? Daily?)
@lalala2004 I loved Thor: Ragnarok! It was totally over the top and I loved it. MH and I were cracking up the whole time. @Dilynne and @elolin I'm with you! I always take my shoes off. I'm not Canadian though, so who knows! I usually don't push it with guests unless their shoes are muddy, wet, or snowy. My mom keeps a basket of slippers by her door for guests to wear. I love that idea and will probably adopt it some day. It would give me an excuse to buy more fluffy sl
@elolin@Dilynne We're not Canadian, but we definitely want people to take their shoes off, though we don't insist that they do...if they want to leave them on we don't make a stink over it...but I do break out my various steam cleaners as soon as they leave.
I was never this way before I married my DH, but it's in his culture to remove shoes. The first time I ever met his family was pure torture...I wore this lovely, but hard to get on and off easily shoes...I never did that again. I always bring flats now...Lol. A decade later, and it's like second nature to take my shoes off or ask a person's preference when entering their home.
@darkstar42 that is a great idea! Does she wash them periodically? I could see some people being weird about putting their feet where others have been.
@SmashJam I love grocery shopping too! I think it's because I grew up super poor (like food stamps and Saltines and Kraft singles for dinner kind of poor), so being able to pick out whatever I want at the store is still so amazing to me. DH and I are going to really try to stick to a budget starting after Thanksgiving, but I love being like "I don't need this box of crackers, but I want it, so I'm getting it". I also love to cook and bake, so the grocery store is pretty fun for me.
A repeated UO, but two days of dog-sitting confirms that I'm really a cat person. I love my dog and I like other dogs, but I love all cats.
Me: 28 DH: 29 Married: 6/2016 TTC #1: 12/2016 Benched due to deployment- Off the bench 8/8/17!
@SmashJam Knowing my mom, I'm sure she washes them all regularly! They're mostly fluffy little slip ons, not hard-soled slippers, so they're machine washable. I think if I started keeping a basket of slippers my cats would just sleep in it.
@smashjam You know, I’m not sure we ever explicitly asked MIL to take off her shoes. We told them when we bought the house that was the rule and explained why. Eye seriously lol’d at yours. @meggyme Eye JUST figured this out when Eye was typing a Fb message! (Sorry for whining about it @BumpAdmin) @josie12367. Love T.Swift!!!!
