Most of the stuff people care about - traditions, ettiquette, rules to live by regarding weddings and crap like that... I just dont care enough about. I think thats more that I just dont care very strongly about anything, but it irritates me when I see people getting drilled for not doing things properly, when I have to question why it matters so much. Thats been a large reason why I have taken a step back and dont contribute on many threads unless theyre ones like this or chitchatty type of threads, because I find that kind of stance a bit unwelcoming and I cant get it up for it.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: TK Related Confessions: : It doesn't appear that anyone's changing their mind because they are too in-the-moment of the thread in question, but after the thread is over a week or so, I really start to think.  Where I'm from, you are either very, very conservative or very, very liberal. TK has a lot of in between and helps me learn others way of thinking. I can't have a debate with a hardcore republican here, because a hardcore republican would never talk to me IRL (being totally serious). Because of this I had a lot of really bad prejudices about conservatives that I admit TK has changed. I realize now I can find things in common even with the most different person on here. This is kind of obvious life stuff I knew, but TK has really pounded it into my brain.   I am very different than majority of the girls on here. I have piercings, tattoos, I shaved half my head last week, FFS. I'm Buddhist, I'm Bi, I'm very 'hippy' and artistic and weird. Sometimes, I think I don't belong here because even though SB is probably the weirdest group, you are all VERY conservative by my standards. It's taken me a lot of patience and understanding to stick around and I'm glad I did.  Nobody's ever changed my mind outright, but they have opened my mind.  *cue Full House end music*

I agree, Nebb.  I do understand when people say "just because you did it doesn't mean it's ok". Because it's not, as far as etiquette is concerned. But it's ok to me.

I mean, there's nothing that I am doing that's WR that breaks any major etiquette rules as far as I know, but it's not because I'm trying to follow etiquette closely, it's because I'm generally a gracious and respectful person who knows the crowd I  will be inviting.

But for the most part, I find most things that are considered rude, not really <em>that  </em>rude. If your slapping your guests across the face, that's rude (and also assault) but to me, having a cash bar or a dollar dance or whatever, is not rude.  But that's just me.

I hate seeing the term "party lines" associated with anything TK related. I can't put my finger on why it bothers me so much, but it does.

</strong>Posted by rhonwynv[/QUOTE]

I agree. Maybe it is okay in their social circle. There are cultural differences that can account for all kinds of different things. On my month board people were talking about never even imagining a reception without assigned tables/seating. In my experience, I've only been to 2 weddings WITH assigned seating/tables and I've been to a LOT of weddings.

OBX2011

I feel ignored here too and that no one really responds to me...that is why I never make my own threads here, for fear that I will just be ingored.

I agree about the dog being a ringbearer, which mine is.  I was told by someone that if she showed up to a wedding and a dog was there, she would turn around and just leave.  I thought that was a bit harsh.

Im irritated right now b/c no one can understand why I'm frustrated with the FI for asking his friend to be a 5th GM last night without even so much as giving me a heads up, since our WP has been decided for over 4 mths now.  It's not the 5th being there at all...it's the lack of communication over such important things.

mehgank

I'm afraid that it annoys people when I bring random shiit up in already-existing threads rather than starting a new one, but I honestly can't create a new thread. Whenever I click that button, say to start a Good Morning thread since I'm one of the SB early-risers, all it does is refresh the page. And that makes me sad inside.

And stemming from that, I'm afraid I won't be able to AW my wedding photos due to my inability to create new threads, so I'm just going to have to slap it into a GM thread or something and hope that satisfies everyone's curiosity.

I can't get it up for when a bride comes in about "demoting" or "firing a bridesmaid" or when they get all up in arms over not getting along with their FMIL.

How many times can people say "you cannot fire a bridesmaid without risking the friendship" before it just turns into "you cannot fucking fire a bridesmaid you bitch!" or "just let your FI handle your FMIL" turns into "MOVE ON YOU OVERANALYZING SLORE BAG."

I never had any patience to begin with.  I dunno how you do it.

I am irritated for you.

I mean... if I were in that situation, I would feel like a replacement or a second-tier bridal party member.

He was drunk right? When FI gets drunk communication isn't our strong point. I can't imagine he was thinking "oh geeze I am going to ask him and we hadn't communicated over this important issue" before he asked.
