Tell It All Thursday

Tell us your biggest pet peeve (NWR and WR)

Fabbiegirl

NWR:

- smacking while eating.  

-Asking questions with obvious answers.  I mean plainly obvious. EX.  I go to get the mail, and I come back empty-handed, and you ask, "was there any mail?"

- Those that make it seem like the world will end if they don't eat meat.  When I tell people I am vegetarian, they act like I am starving myself.  Then they make it seem like they could not go one day without eating a cow or chicken.  Yet, we claim to have self-control.  LOL!  Sorry, bit of a soapbox moment.

-People that say things like "I will start my diet tomorrow or next week". News to you, you will never lose weight because tomorrow never gets here in your mind.

-Black people who refuse to believe that this big, beautiful house of my FI is all his because he is black.  Such a backwards mindset.  (Other day, someone saw one of our white tenants walk out of the house and assumed he was the owner when I asked him (nicely) to get off the property.  I had to correct him on that one.

WR:

-People that hear my wedding is in Jamaica and automatically saying no.  They don't ponder over finances or say they will get back to me. It is just an automatic no.

-Inconsiderate RSVPers

-BM's that make the brides life living hell because deep down they are jealous that they are not the bride or know the bride has a better relationship than they do.

-People that talk about "platinum brides" and try to make themselves feel better about their own wedding.  If I am a millionaire and I want to buy my dress in France and have it handmade by someone for $50,000, let me do it.  I am not breaking the bank.  I still have my millions.  Don't get pissy at me because I can afford  to have gold flakes in my ice cream.  lol!

Ok, pet peeves make my bad side come out.

Tell us how you really feel Fabbiegirl LOL!!!!

I completely agree! I'd like to add that my current pet peeve NWR is when people repeat themselves over and over again. I got it. thanks!

WR - People giving their opinions when I didn't ask. The people that are the worse are those that got married at the courthouse. There is nothing wrong with this but don't act like you know it all when you haven't planned a wedding.

You ladies have covered it ALL!  I totally agree.  Lol @ Fabbiegirl You are on it!

WR:
- People who find out your are engaged and all of a sudden decide they want to be your wedding planner/wedding advisior.
-People who find out you are engaged and invite themselves to the wedding.  I.e. Someone called me yesterday because they found out I was engaged and the first words out her mouth were..."let me find out I need to get my dress ready" Umm, no you don't cause you ain't invited. What party of a small wedding for family and our closest friends don't you get...smh.

[QUOTE]Aw man, this was the quality entertainment I needed today!!!  WR: People who try to figure out a dollar amount you are spending on your wedding by googling or calling your vendors for pricing.  SMDH.  Mother-in-laws who run off at the mouth about how much they kicked in for your FI's last wedding, even though you didn't ask her for that info and wouldn't take her money if someone threatened to burn your entire shoe collection. People who don't even know your phone number, but swear they are on "the list" when it comes to those in the loop about wedding plans.  They gets no invite.  People asking why we're getting married in Vegas as though I give an F whether or not they show up lololololololololololol!
