U/Os, Irrational Irritations, Confessions...

labro

U/O - I think panda bears are stupid. Sure, they have cute babies, but if an animal is fail-breeding itself in to extinction then I just don't see what the big deal is.

Confession - I'm the judgiest of judgy bitches.

Confession - I just ate a GIANT oatmeal raisin cookie and it was so good!

II - I ordered something online on Monday and it took 2 DAYS to ship, and now the shipping tells me it will take 6-8 days to be delivered! Wtf UPS, get your shit together! This is the age of the Internet and fast shipping!

II - I signed up for e-bates, but I always do my online shopping at the office instead of my personal comuputer...so I forget about e-bates. And now I can't get any money back!

U/O I think oatmeal raisin cookies are a waste of a cookie and should instead be a chocolate chip cookie! BOOM!

@labro I mean, they're obviously a brilliant species: 

II: People who don't read/RSVP. I vented about this the other day, but seriously... why can't people read an invitation properly and then RSVP? Registry info is on the invitation, it's not a lingerie shower, and you can't RSVP to me as I am not hosting my own shower. This is a total II because I'm very much guilty of doing some of these things in the past before I knew better, and I know people are asking me these questions because they care and are excited for me. I'm just tired of answering the same questions over and over again.

Confession: I can't stop registry stalking. I have a problem!

Confession: I frequently wish we had a shorter engagement or opted for a destination wedding. I see people getting married before me that got engaged after me, and I always think to myself, "A shorter engagement would have been so much smarter..." 

Confession: I know I talk about WR things too much on here, but it's because I don't want to post about it on FB or talk to IRL friends about it too much. You guys are a great outlet for all of these things, but I apologize if you're all already sick of hearing about my October wedding.  

II: FI won't agree to a puppy. I'm dying for one. I know we need to be responsible and save all money for the wedding, so it would be better to wait until the winter or spring to get one, but oooooooh man do I have a puppy fever. I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE:

PREACH!

UO: I don't like puppies. I think they're adorable and precious and super cute, but I have absolutely no desire to raise a puppy. I prefer to adopt older dogs. 

II: This day. I can't focus, I've busted my ass for two weeks, I'm overwhelmed by my to do list, and I just want to crawl under my desk until the day is over. Every. Little. Thing. is pissing me off.

NOTHING!!! I repeat NOTHING is worse than biting into an oatmeal raisin cookie thinking it's a chocolate chip cookie. Such a disappointment.

Well both of you can just DEAL WITH IT! I ate it all by myself and I wouldn't have shared even if you wanted it.

Apparently a U/O but I think oatmeal raisin cookies are fucking delicious!

True facts: This is how I came to appreciate oatmeal raisin cookies (a good one, that's soft and made with brown sugar). One too many in disguise and one too many sugar cravings...

@TwoDimes H is balding. Probably a lot worse than your FI. I've just told him we're shaving his head the moment he gets that old man horseshoe bald spot on his head and he's cool with that. I suggest you take this approach! I cut his hair now too. Keeping it super short sort of disguises the baldness a bit.

II: As previously mentioned, I'm II that so many people can't make my wedding events. Hellooooo, my wedding events should be the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS going on in everyone's lives!

Confession: I'm really annoyed with my FILs. They are great people, in general, but it annoys the heck out of me that they can't (or just won't) plan ahead. If you know about a date/event for weeks, months, or even a year... why are you making last minute arrangements for it?! They have a knack for making the easiest, most simple things into huge, stressful ordeals. WTF.

Confession: I'm really fucking cranky today. For no good reason. 

Confession: Since I'm in such a terrible mood, I plan to go home for my lunch break and eat potato chips and chocolate. I only wish I could have some vodka, too.

Confession: I fear for the day when FI loses (the rest of) his hair. He is very very very thin on top (like crazy thin for only 27 years old!) and will most likely have a clear bald spot within a few years, and a bald-man horseshoe by 40. I'm worried I'm going to be a terrible wife who finds him less attractive that way. I'm a horrible person.

U/O: I have a love/hate relationship with the Duggar family from TLC's show 19 Kids and Counting. I absolutely cannot stand some of the "values" they impart on their children, especially the in-your-face sexist ones, ie: women should not show their knees or shoulders because OBVIOUSLY men will see these random body parts and have "impure thoughts," and that would be the WOMAN'S fault. But even though I absolutely cannot stand their brainwashing of their children... I am addicted to the show. Cannot tear my eyes away from the train wreck.

SAME! I am fascinated. 

II: The old ladies that walk around the office during the day with their needs and their baked goods and leftover coffee. 

Confession: Holy shit I'm a bitch today.

Confession: I search behind and around the toilet for spiders or other insects before I use it in fear of sitting down and not seeing one crawl up behind me.

@ellis1228 - at some point in the night, I was pondering the great life question as to why you don't have a dog yet and when you will ever get a dog and what kind of dog you would get. 

eilis1228

@audrewuh I WANT A CORGI! So bad. I want to give it a super British name too like Sir Reginald or Lady Pippa. Buuuut dogs are expensive, especially in an apartment because of pet deposits and pet rent, so FI is being a butthead about it.

eilis1228

@southernpeach89 I do that too. I'm also hesitant to turn on lamps thanks to the movie Arachnaphobia. 

[Deleted User]

@eilis1228 Thank God I've never seen that movie.

jenjen047

@eilis1228 - no worries about WR stuff, i dont feel like you post about it a lot. if it makes you feel better, i feel like i post all the time about being impatient/excited for proposal.

II: when BF stays up really late watching TV on nights when he doesnt have work the next day. it makes me flip my shit at him and really, there is no reason why this should bother me.

confession: i didnt wash my hair from saturday afternoon until this morning

confession: i wish we had more BSC/bad etiquette/general trainwreck posts on this thread. they are so entertaining! ((im a horrible person))

Do these old ladies not offer you their baked goods?

Confession: No desire to own a puppy or a dog ever.

U/O apparently I love oatmeal raisin cookies, send them all my way.

Confession: I really don't want to be studying for this exam, but I got myself into it and must finish it

They do, but often times they've been sitting in a sunday school classroom for a few days, so they're a little stale. Or like today, the blueberries are leaky and my fingers get nasty and sticky.

@eilis1228 CORGI BUTT OMG!

I know this isn't the same, but here is a picture of some Baxy butt.

I will eat the shit out of all the oatmeal raisin cookies! 

II: I really want H to take off or call out tomorrow and stay home and snug with me but he won't do it. Why's he gotta be all responsible and shit?

Confession: I want all. the.chocolate right now. 

Confession: I was supposed to hang out with a friend tomorrow afternoon, which I forgot about, and now that I'm off work, I definitely don't want to get together. I want to be lazy at home with my kids! I want to watch TV! And I want to color!

UO- I don't like designer items. If I see a giant Coach purse (or similar brand) I don't think how nice it is, I think you are dumb for spending too much on it.

confession- like @peaseblossom55 I find nothing appealing about dogs. They are so much more work that cats and smell so much worse.

II- A new guy started at work and he's an hour or 2 late every day. It drives me crazy....but it shouldn't because it's not my business...and because I leave at like 2pm every Friday.

@twodimes definitely go with the shaved head look....DH does buzz shaves for now (not like completely bic-ed) and it looks awesome with his beard.

I should have done this last night because as I was sitting there doing my business, a GIANT roach nearly crawled on my foot. I am still traumatized.

@eilis1228 - As someone who was once called out for AWing her WR stuff too often, I say... go ahead and talk WR stuff as much as you want. That's what your internet friends are for!

I am not an oatmeal raisin cookie fan, but if those are the only cookies available, I will not complain.

RI (That's Rational Irritation): When I'm in the bathroom, and there are eight stalls, and someone walks in the door, takes the one right next to me, and then has a very loud diaheretic-like bowel movement. DISGUSTING.

That's all I got.

I get that this is an UO and that's the purpose of this thread and all that jazz... but I really hate when people say this. I tend to spend a good amount of money on some of my bags. I don't usually feel like I need to justify this to anyone since it's my money but I personally prefer spending a little more for something like a bag or shoes because they tend to last longer. I might need to replace a $10 bag in 2 months whereas I will most likely be good with a $100 bag for much longer than that. Why does that make me dumb? If I have the money and that's something I want to spend it on then who cares?

GROSS.

Or when they come in and take the stall RIGHT NEXT TO YOURS no matter what movement they are about to partake in. 

Space. Observe it.

@twodimes I feel you on the Duggars. I guess it's an II of mine that the women won't wear pants. I know they're anti gay and I usually will boycott brands when I find this out- I won't buy Cracker Barrel cheese or Barilla Pasta- but I can't stop watching the damn Duggars! They're fascinating. I think it helps me that they don't talk about those "values" on the show.

Confession: I should really work out when I get home but I most likely won't. I don't have the energy. I have been so lazy lately. I need to go food shopping and I don't want to do that either.

II: My friend doesn't like dogs (even though she says she does) and practically races away from them when we're out walking and then claims that they looked unruly or something. We've never come close to a dog acting like that at all. If you don't like dogs, fine, but don't claim you do and then freak out any time one is in your vicinity.

Confession - I have a friend who talks to me about her job all the damn time and I really wish she wouldn't. It's hard to care much about someone else's job outside of celebrating if they get a raise or promotion, or feeling bad if they have a bad day or shitty boss. I can't remember which of her cw's do what, or what the different parts of her company handle, and I don't like pretending I know what she's talking about.

Confession - I have prioritized sleep over sex all week. 

II: So, we're not having a real rehearsal because I didn't want to insist our whole BP come to town a day early. FI's parents are hosting a "rehearsal dinner" anyway, and asked me who I wanted to invite, but since that day is the first time our families are meeting, I wanted to keep it strictly family. Thus, we're not inviting my best friend/MOH, nor Mike's groomsmen who will mostly still be coming in on Friday evening. I feel guilty about this and wish we were inviting them all to dinner. I'm now feeling guilty AND bummed out because I think it would be fun to have some of our friends there. Yet, I made all of these decisions myself. Illogical!

ETA: Confession - I spent a good 10 minutes practicing writing out the new name that will be mine in 9 days.
