 Is it bad this makes me want to get super drunk and do something crazy?  They obviously need something to talk about, so I think that'd make a great wedding present:)

That makes we want to order 3 shots and tell the bride "I'm gonna drink til you're pretty".

People who throw trash in the recycling bin or recycling in the trash when the recycling bin is clearly labeled and the trash bin is right next to it. WTF! How hard is it to put things in the right bin?

Also, people who throw cans, bottles, or cups in the trash with liquid still in them.

Someone on my FB feed just asked why it was so was smokey here this afternoon.  Umm, giant wildfire north of us that evacuated 90 000 people last week??  Really??

I've now had several of these pop up.  People have responded with the Ft. Mac fire, and they have responded with "Umm, maybe??"

The woman who loudly interrupted one of the attorneys I work with while he was doing trial prep and ignored me when I reminded her that her appointment was later in the day.

I'm in Seattle, saying the words "I don't recycle" is just as bad as saying "I kick puppies".

Ohh, we're probably road tripping to Seattle and maybe Portland this summer.  I'll have to bug you later about what to do there.

Absolutely! I can point you towards don't miss sites and the best eats.

I am side eyeing FI. He wanted to put the AC unit in, and I told him the cord wasn't long enough for the window he wanted. So that meant that he spent a good 45 minutes getting it all set up just to discover......You guessed it! Cord isn't long enough. Now he's angry mumbling while moving the damn thing.

Let me know if you need suggestions for Portland! There are so many don't-miss places to eat and things to do here (especially in summer!), and the Food Network hasn't destroyed all of them with publicity yet

I hope it's ok to resurrect a week-old thread for this:

I'm side-eying a couple on my Facebook feed. The boyfriend wrote this in a birthday message to her: "I love venturing to court with you for your speeding tickets. I love watching judges butcher your name."...Seriously?! How often is this happening that it's a memory?

I got a thank you card in the mail yesterday - a card that was printed off the computer thanking me for attending the sender's (my cousin's kid's) bar mitzvah and for my generous gift. It wasn't even signed by him; nothing was handwritten on the card or the envelope. 

I wouldn't be surprised if his parents just did it for him. 

Oh, and I neither attended the bar mitzvah nor sent a check/any other gift.

Oh lordy, just received an invitation for a fall wedding. RSVP deadline is 6-7 weeks before the wedding. I guess they are B listing - at least we made the A list.

Wow. I guess that's what the a-list, b-list, c-list drop down menu is on my website guest list.

I didn't know what it was for so I ignored it. Why would anyone want someone who's not an a-lister to be at their wedding?

In the hope of getting as many gifts/checks as possible, I presume...

Probably but I really hope it's because of monetary or venue size limitations.

Our RSVP deadline was 6 weeks before the wedding but only because I'm way too type A for my own good and know lots of our friends and family would be the opposite and take some tracking down.  I was right; I just got the last missing reply (who I gave a solid 2 weeks AFTER the deadline before following up, in case it was in the mail or something) two days ago.  Early deadline =/= obvious B listing...


Currently side eyeing FH, who legitimately recently wanted to turn our current wedding day in to a PPD and get legally married beforehand, all because he doesn't want to spend the time going to get the marriage license (we're getting married in the state we both are originally from/where his whole family lives, he wanted to get the license in our current home state to "save time.").  I shut down that train wreck of an idea by pointing out that our friends and family were spending time to come see us get married, not just to have a party.

Maybe in your particular case you are not b-listing, but I am willing to bet some of your guests thought you were...

Eh, fair enough.  I can't control what people think.

I was the same, out RSVP deadline was 5-6 weeks ahead and it was because the venue required the headcount 1 month in advance. I pushed back (especially since they have the chairs/tables on site so it seemed weird to need it that far ahead) and their deadline was firm. We built in like 1.5 weeks to track people down so we could meet that 1 month deadline.

Count me in as another that had to have final numbers prior to 30 days out - I think our deadline was 5 weeks out. Our venue was firm as well - no pushing it back.

Most of my side eyes are from FB brides it seems....so here is another one.

The weekly post from someone asking a FB group what the legalities are to get married, more often than not it's also next month or in a couple of weeks.

How the hell have you gotten that close to your ceremony and just now remembered you need to make it legal, and why in the hell would you trust the opinion of strangers on what is and isn't legal in your situation?
