@kpearse99 Bah-hahaha. That's hilarious. Fun story: they came and played a free concert at my college once (circa 2009ish?) and I thought it was hilarious, so decided to go just for sh*ts and giggles, but when I arrived, the line was like... a half mile long and the venue was tiny, so I definitely wasn't going to be able to get in. Womp womp.

begging4abump · May 2019

I don’t like my bed sheets tucked in. I need to feel like my feet can move around freely.

brookert615 · May 2019

@begging4abump SAME. Free the feet! LOL.

I didn't realize it was an UO but from recent posts on here I guess it might be. I absolutely LOVE skinny jeans and I also miss low rise jeans. I am high waisted so actual high waisted jeans are almost painful for me to wear.

shamrocandroll · May 2019

@begging4abump At least you still use sheets! Apparently not using a top sheet is a thing millennials are doing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

...I'm still trying to think of a good one for myself.

inthewoods23 · May 2019

@shamrocandroll I believe that's also a very European thing to do not using a flat sheet.

In that case my UO (cuz us Americans are weird) may be that separate blankets on the bed are the best thing ever. DH no longer complains that I steal covers!

begging4abump · May 2019

@shamrocandroll I think a lot of European hotels just have a comforter. I don’t get it. What if I’m just a little bit cold? Also, do they get washed after every use? So many questions! Just bring bed sheets back, people!

shamrocandroll · May 2019

@begging4abump Yes! It's like people who don't wear underwear. Like.... does that just feel dirty and uncomfortable? The sheets are like the underwear of beds. I like to be able to wear pants more than once before washing, and I certainly don't want to be washing my comforter more than just occasionally.

inthewoods23 · May 2019

@begging4abump comforters come in different.... Warmths? The one I have is lighter in weight compared to DH's because I often end up sweating overnight while he likes heavier blankets. Got ours from IKEA and they have 3 levels cool (blue circle), warm (red circle), and warmest (2 red circles).

Plus with having your own comforter you can stick both feet out from it!

inthewoods23 · May 2019

@shamrocandroll speaking of underwear, and maybe this actually isn't a UO, but I am not okay with the idea of sleeping butt naked in bed. I just think about the germs that end up on the sheets like ewwwww. My sleeping naked would at least include my underwear!

shamrocandroll · May 2019

I can't think of any good ones today. I keep coming back to foods I don't like that everyone else loves, but those are boring, hahaha.

The best I can think of is I don't really like the all-white kitchen trend. It's just too boring to me. Plus my last dog was black, and so his fur would show on the white tiles of my kitchen floor basically instantly after I had just cleaned, and it drive me INSANE. Plus MH is constantly tracking dirt into the house. I prefer natural wood tones to the painted-everything look. But I also live in the woods, so I feel like having a spotless, all white house wouldn't fit in very well anyway.

begging4abump · May 2019

@inthewoods23 I think the bulk gets in my head so that I think it’s providing more warmth than it is. We just tuck in his side of the (king) bed, and it’s perfect. I get to move all around, but the bed sheet doesn’t wander too far since it’s tucked in somewhere. Just another way marriage has improved my life. 😂

madcouplewithabox · May 2019

@shamrocandroll at first I thought that sentence was “I don’t like this all white chicken trend” I was very confused when you got to the part about your dog lol

inthewoods23 · May 2019

@shamrocandroll yeah white kitchens look nice but too much white is so bland

verydisgruntledpelican0091 · May 2019

@shamrocandroll +1 for the dislike of white kitchens. My dogs hair would also be all over the place

my UO is I hate being known as a regular somewhere. I don’t mind the staff knowing me and saying hi, that part is great! I hate when they make my stuff ahead of time because they assume I’ll get the same thing.
The tim hortons in the mall I work at always has my iced Capp ready but I’ve tried to tell them I don’t want it and would like to try something different but they look heartbroken and it gets me every damn time.
Now that I’ve written it out it’s such a first world problem. Lol

madcouplewithabox · May 2019

I really don’t like WONDFOS. They give me line eye sooo bad lol.

Edit to add: This May also be an UO cause everyone seems to love wondfos... I like the $1 cheapies at the store where you have to pipette the urine in the test area waaayyyy better.

b_1029 · May 2019

@madcouplewithabox I also hate wondfos...I am SO BAD at reading lines. Apps are helpful

brookert615 · May 2019

This might be another UO but I LOVE SmileReader ovulation tests. Even though we have spammers on here posting about it - they actually do offer a free trial box and the app is amazing with their picture of test option - they give you different ranges of LH as well. I've used them in conjunction with my ClearBlue Advanced OPK's and they've been consistent even with FMU! Also, Amazon screwed up my order and I reached out to SmileReader customer service and they were amazing. They ended up giving me a promo code to use on Amazon for their largest box of tests. They pretty much said that Amazon would be too slow and they understand the urgency of getting tests in time.

Edit: I am no way affiliated with SmileReader lol

shamrocandroll · May 2019

@madcouplewithabox I am holding back my laughter at my desk right now over "white chicken trend". Down with chicken racism!

shamrocandroll · May 2019

@brookert615 Sounds similar to the Easy@Home tests I use that are from Amazon. There's an app that helps you determine just how positive your OPK is, which is great for me, because no matter how many times I see an actual blazing positive OPK, I always seem to get amnesia and question the almost-positive ones every damn month.

brookert615 · May 2019

@shamrocandroll Yes they are very similar! I totally agree it is super nice having the app to take pictures! I think that's why I HAD to check about FMU. Like I know you aren't supposed to take them but I legit drink over a gallon of water a day so there's no way I was able to turn them lol. Easy@Home has a great BBT, too!!

kpearse99 · May 2019

@brookert615 I have such a short torso that high waisted pants don't look so great on me... especially when you see the outline under my shirts and all that. I prefer low-waisted skinny jeans too!

@shamrocandroll I would have loved to have been at that concert! hahaha

@inthewoods23 I am with you about NOT sleeping nude!!! Germs... plus thighs and other parts sticking together... so gross and so not fun OR comfortable!

shamrocandroll · May 2019

@inthewoods23 Oh I'm totally with you. I can't sleep nude. Even after HIO I always put my bottoms back on, at least. If I didn't shave my legs like an hour beforehand, I can't handle them rubbing together.

kagesstarshroom · May 2019

@begging4abump omg if i went to a hotel and there was no top sheet i'd be like wtf! i don't make my bed, but I grab that top sheet wherever it wound up & cover myself w/ it. DH usually doesn't use it tho, so...

@shamrocandroll +1 for having to sleep w/ clothes on. DH is always like "just come to bed w/out them" & I'm like nope.

Mine is that anyone who believes in "the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes" (via Merriam-Webster) is a feminist, whether or not they identify as one/would use that word to describe themselves.

varimama · May 2019

@inthewoods23 yesss separate blankets is the best!!

I like using a top sheet DH doesn’t. I always put at least undies back on for bed. I have big boobs so I prefer to wear a light bra at night too.

I like low rise bootcut jeans but they are so hard to find so most of my jeans are mid rise skinny.

My UO is I prefer tight fitting shirts, I feel like the style is loose and flowy now but it looks awful on my figure.

kpearse99 · May 2019

@varimama I prefer more form fitting shirts too! The loose/flowy/baggy fit makes me look lost in my clothes and like a balloon!

kiki047 · May 2019

lol today's UOs are amusing.

I guess mine would be that we sleep butt naked, or I wear a loose shirt and I wear undies when I have AF because that's our unspoken signal for "do not touch", but otherwise unless we have guests, clothes are too restrictive for sleeping.

and +1 for sleeping with separate blankets. MF runs hot and rolls around all over and kicks his blankets off so he has the lightest Ikea comforter and I love the weight and warmth of blankets so I have a king flat sheet (folded in half), a flannel sheet, a twin heavy winter-weight comforter and our quilted coverlet on my side of the bed.

inthewoods23 · May 2019

@kiki047 I have always wondered that with women who sleep naked. Do they trust their tampons overnight? Do they switch to undies and an overnight pad? Do they leak onto their sheets often? So many questions lol

That's one thing I've never done, sleep in a tampon. Idk why I don't trust it. And maybe part of that is that on weekends I may/probably sleep longer than 8 hours which would be no good for tampons.

brookert615 · May 2019

@kiki047 Dang girl! Too funny about the "do not touch" lol.

+1 for sleeping with something on. I usually just have a t-shirt and underwear though. DH thinks it is excessive that I change into new underwear from the ones I slept in? I also do not wear any if I'm working out because I wear thick exercise leggings and the wedgies are unreal LOL.

celticknotfire · May 2019

Even if I wanted to sleep naked I couldn't/wouldn't because I have 3 dogs and I usually have at least one on the bed with me. I really don't want to wake up with a dog nose in butt or anywhere else!

My UO is I really don't like any current music. I'm more than happy to listen to my 90's music and not hear anything from today.

kiki047 · May 2019

@celticknotfire you would not last in our house then, Humpy Humphrey (my dog's TTGP-given nickname) likes to get all up in my business.

@inthewoods23 I use a menstrual cup, which has only ever leaked on me a handful of times in probably 8 years of using it. I also wouldn't want to sleep with a tampon in though.

shoogapoff · May 2019

@kagesstarshroom Yes!!!! One of my proudest moments for my DH was when DH's friend was talking about his amazing, strong, successful wife, and said "I wouldn't call my wife a feminist or anything, but..." and DH cut in and said something to the effect of "Why not? I'm a feminist". It was a huge revelation to his friend that he was describing feminism, just without the label.

I guess since we're on the clothing trend, mine is that I only wear thong underwear, unless it's AF. Then I wear briefs so i can have a pad or liner on. But I'm so used to thongs that I think briefs are less comfortable.

ruby696 · May 2019

I love beer. The stronger the IPA, the better. I'd take a good IPA over a margarita or mixed drink (or almost any other drink, with the exception of certain kinds of champagne) all day, every day.

celticknotfire · May 2019

@kiki047 my dogs like to watch and one of them has been known to give MH a little nudge during TTC time! In honor of Humpy Humphrey I will call him Frisky Fenix!

brookert615 · May 2019

@celticknotfire @kiki047 Hahahaha too funny! I guess I’m lucky because our pup just hides and chews her bone really loud! 😂

kagesstarshroom · May 2019

@shoogapoff Right on! I have had students who are men come to me all confused because they realize that by definition they are feminists and they don't know what to do with this new information about themselves. I am always so proud of them.

bows22 · May 2019

@kagesstarshroom @shoogapoff yes!!!

Possible TW for mention of SAHM

I have a friend that guiltily says “I used to be a feminist, but now I stay home” I’m like um no. A feminist (at least in my mind) supports your choice to do that, to work, or for your husband to stay at home.
