@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.

OMG. I'm so immature. I'm dying. That's horrible though...I would have vomited.

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.

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.

That's absolutely horrible. I would have screamed.

@cu97tiger - Did you find the culprit?

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.

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? 

True that I shouldn't have called any person dumb for having spending priorities other than mine. But I have never had a purse fall apart. Ever. I've used $20 purses and beachbags for literally years on end with none of them ever falling apart so I just beg to differ that the quality is that much different. (plus you said $100 bag which I find far more reasonable than some of the coach ones that are like $400).

II: Everything and everyone at work. I do not want to be here today. I want to go home and nap.

II: It takes so much more work to lose weight than gain it And I have no but myself for not losing it.

@cu97tiger - someone on TK called you out for that???

@hummingbird125 - its totally logical to get used to practicing your new name!! it will be yours SO SOON and you want to have it nice and pretty the first time you write it for real!

just thought of another UO/II/i judge (not sure which category it falls into and kind of falls into all of them): girls who dont like to be on top during sex because they are self conscious about their bodies. fuck that noise. i assume the guy im sleeping with likes my body (except maybe if its a total stranger, but then why do you care since you wont see him again probably?). and if he doesnt....then too damn bad. why are women so worried about making sex great for the guy instead of worrying about their own pleasure? BOTH of you can (and should) worry about BOTH of your pleasure. ok, *end rant*

Eh. I mean, it kind of goes that way with a lot of things. Some people spend a lot of money on a car whereas someone else might just think well, they both get me from Point A to Point B so I'll go with the cheaper version. I just really dislike when people say/think someone else is dumb or whatever for spending the money they  worked hard for on whatever the hell they want.

Extremely Irrational Irritation: I have tomorrow off. BF and I asked for the day off a couple of months ago. But, I have too much work to get done. I've worked 10 hours every day this week and am still not where I need to be. So I'd honestly rather not have the day off tomorrow if it means I'll hit my deadlines and continue getting raises.

Confession: I'm so behind because I spent too many days in the last month browsing the internet (*cough* NEY! *cough*) and not doing what I was getting paid to.

Confession: I miss you guys. Sorry I'm not reading or commenting or anything. I just needed at least a tiiiiiiny break from writing reports.

@hummingbird125 - can you invite those people out for drinks after dinner with the fam?

Confession: Sex sounds lovely. I want it in my life.

That's the plan, Aud! I'm trying to make srue dinner is as early as possible so we have time to get some drinks with friends afterwards. I mean, so I can get ONE SINGLE drink.

Just one! And @swazzle and I can vouch that a flight of something doesn't count as a drink.

I just talked to FMIL - she left another message for the restaurant and said if she doesn't hear back I can call. In one way I want to call and be the bitch I am and demand to speak to the manager. On the other hand why can FMIL not handle this herself?? She's a grown woman and should be able to without me getting involved when I have a ton of other shit to do. 

jenjen047

@speakeasy14 - youre a genius. something like:
"my BF and i plan to get married but our families are not supportive! we are both 19 and have been together for 6 years! why cant they understand that we are in LOVE and we are READY for this.
ps - we both still live at home and go to school and our parents support us.
pps - i have already booked a venue.
ppps - if BF cant get me this extremely expensive ring it means he doesnt love me and isnt serious about our wedding.
pppps - im putting all my BMs on diets so they are not fat for my wedding
ppppps - we cant afford to have everyone at the wedding itself so we are just doing a small ceremony and then a BYOB pot luck reception at my aunts house. we are also registering for a honeyfund instead of real gifts."

U/O: Starbucks is overrated (especially when I spend 1/3 of my day there 5 days a week)

Confession: I lied to my coworkers today about still not having internet during midterm week and needing to study so that I had a good excuse to go to work four hours late tomorrow, turning my 8.5 hour shift into a 4 hour shift.

Confession: I have been obsessively thinking about starting a YouTube channel for fun but I am way too nervous and shy to actually do it.

Confession: I spent 90 dollars on makeup the other day after my interview and I don't feel bad about it.

Confession: I went to Target for a calculator and a present for BF's teen brother, but instead left with a calculator, food, and bins to organize my room with, and no gift for BF's teen brother. Also the bins are still in my car, I have not a clue how I will use them yet.

II: My mom called me while I was studying at the library today and left a voicemail. Who leaves voicemails anymore? They just give me anxiety!!

II: One of my coworkers is much older (and slower) than everyone else and the new hire (who has experience from other coffee shops) was much more efficient and useful than him after working one day. I hate working with him because we are all running circles around him, but I know he is doing his best.

II: I bought a new toy for my cat yesterday and my dogs thought it was for them. How do they even know its a toy?!?!

cu97tiger

Oh @jenna8984 ...  Ditto @swazzle. I have a large Coach bag, that I bought at a  consignment store, not that that makes a difference. I didn't buy it because of how long it will last, I bought it because I wanted to use it. If that's how I want to spend my extra money, then why is that dumb? It's like me saying to you that it's dumb for you to eat steak when you could get hamburger for so much cheaper. So uselessly judgy.

@hummingbird125 - You could definitely plan a little get together for after dinner... tell everyone to meet you at the hotel bar or something like that. We had a regular rehearsal dinner w/ BMs, GMs, etc, but then had other OOT guests meet us afterwards. It was a blast.

@swazzle - I haven't looked for her. If I figure out who it is, I'll never be able to look them in the eye again.

@jenjen047 - Yep, in a FFF, I believe. I was a major AW with every detail of my wedding, but I was just so damn excited!!! I apologize for nothing.

Related/unrelated II/Judge: IDAF when people spend money on things I wouldn't necessarily spend my money on because like @swazzle said, their money, their prerogative. 

I do, however, judge the heck out of people who spend a lot of money on things they clearly can't afford. I have an aunt who struggles to pay her bills every month, desperately needs repairs to her home but can't afford to make them, is of retirement age but can't afford to retire.... and takes 2 week vacations to Jamaica every winter.

Good point. I think those were more the people I was judging rather the average "I have EXTRA money I'll spend it on a purse" people. But regardless you're right @swazzle because I'm sure people who kno me probably think the same of me for spending all my extra money on international vacations lol.

I just had to walk away from my desk.  I'm crying.

Also, on the purse/designer thing -- I have a $400 Kate Spade tote that I carry everywhere.  I bought it for $99 when I received a promotion at work. Aside from people I've told, no one knows how much of a deal I got.... actually I lied, I tell everyone because that's an amazing deal!  I also own several of the really expensive Coach bags.  I live near an outlet an only shop there when they have an end of season clearance sale (so 50% off the whole store plus an additional 30% off clearance, or something like that). I like designer things, but will never pay full price for them.  Ok off my soap box. Back to laughing about made up crazies.

jenjen047

@cu97tiger - dont apologize. if someone doesnt want to read about weddings, maybe TK isnt the best place to be and thats their problem. thatd be like me going to the forums at espn and saying "guysssss stop talking about sports!!!!" people are dumb.

beanbot2002

I'm just going to cosign everything @swazzle and @cu97tiger said regarding spending your money. 

I don't own any designer items right now, because I can't afford them, but if I had the money, I'd probably buy myself some nice purses, shoes, clothes, etc. or another horse...

And I completely disagree regarding quality. There is a distinct difference in the quality. I've worn out plenty of cheap purses in no time. I also have some cheapies that have lasted because I've just  been easier on them.

Anyhow...just my 2 cents.

Confession - I love hearing about everyone's wedding stuff! I think it's fun to talk about and have no problem seeing a bunch of threads of NEY with questions about different things or fun updates on what has been accomplished. So please AW away with you wedding @jenjen047

ETA: 

II: My co-worker is going on vacation next week and for the whole damn month has been freaking out about how she'll get stuff done. She won't shut up about it. If it stresses you out this much, for this long to go on vacation then just don't fucking go.

I use Coach or Fossil purses, but I use them every single day for months on end.  I am not a purse-switcher.  And I am so hard on bags... I used to buy from Target or maybe Aldo, but I'd go through them so fast because they'd fall apart and I was spending more money buying lots of inexpensive bags than I would if I bought one nice bag to wear for 6 months.  I actually carry one of my mom's Coach purses from the 1970's.  The style is back in fashion, and I took it to a leather store to get cleaned up.

It looks like this, but mine is a cognac color.  

Plus, we have Coach and Fossil outlets here, so I don't pay full price all the time either.  

And boots.  I will pay a buttload for a good pair of boots, but I wear them EVERY DAY for 6 months out of the year, and I want them to last more than one season.  I have Nine West boots (my fav) that I have worn for more than 6 years, and because I take them to the cobbler every year for repairs, they still look almost brand new.

@CocoBellaF My mom has that purse too!!! I used to love it!

Oh I will give you that, girl! 12 of my 13 pairs of heels/ boots are Nine West! I got most of them at places like DSW for cheaper but even full price they are worth it. I once heard "never cheap out on anything that comes between you and the ground- socks, shoes, carpet, mattress, couch, tires".

Re expensive purses: I have a Coach purse that I use everyday. I have had it for a year now and it has held up better than any other one I have ever owned. I purchased it after I got a bonus last year and found it on sale at the local outlet for 50% off. I used to buy $20 ones too and they would also fall apart on me. 

@cu97tiger that's so gross! I had a similar experience yesterday which I was coming here to post about, but I think yours was worse! I was the only one in the bathroom and someone came in and went into the stall next to me and let out a loud fart. I don't understand why people don't think about leaving space between the stalls when there is only one other person in there! 

Rational Irritation: Women at my work leave the bathroom without cleaning up after themselves. It's disgusting when all 5 toilets have used seat covers on them and aren't flushed. It's not that hard people. I haven't caught anyone leaving a mess yet, but I absolutely will call them out if I do, because I am sick of seeing that. 

Rational Irritation/I Judge: The new mothers on my Facebook. Every status is about how special their children are or weird or gross things that their children did. I don't want to read about your infant child's bowel movement issues on Facebook!

Confession: I have also been trying to catch up on work that I got behind on for spending too much time here, so that's why I haven't been on here as much. 

Confession: I have no desire to pack up our apartment. We are moving on Sunday.
