I can't take you seriously if...

NuggetBrain · January 2010

....you believe that the ad next to the forums on TK actually does include reception essentials.

baby green bird · January 2010

you use the word "like" in every other sentence,

JessAndTrav · January 2010

...if you wear socks with flip-flops, or any shoe that has the spacer between your big toe and the next.

...if your only stories are about a party that you went to

...if you complain about having no money, living in an apartment and you're about to have baby #5

...if you complain about being broke and have no job or work at the movie theatre.

...if you complain about not being able to get a 'good job' but refuse to continue your education when one of the most inexpensive community colleges in the entire state is literally in your town.

I also can't take people seriously when they have the ghetto car with screens in the headrests and rims.

I also can't take people seriously that URGENTLY need advice on their wedding details that aren't really needed for at least two years.

I also can't take the girl seriously who has been on TK since 2008 and JUST got engaged.

... if you constantly whine about how broke you are and how much your job should appreciate you and won't "promote" you, but you refuse to look for a job other than waiting tables at a moderately busy lunch establishment. Because promotion as a server is common and/or possible (when you have no desire to be management).

... if you list filing for bankruptcy, being evicted and having to move back home with your parents for being broke as reasons why you can't pay me back the money you've owed me for 5 years, YET just went to Vegas for NYE on a whim and constantly talk about how much you love buying MAC and expensive clothes.

... if you randomly post on my FB about how you feel guilty about being a bad friend and want to make it up to me, but then never call to talk about it in private with me and just make grand, empty gestures on the internet. Um, awkward.

And yes, this is all the same person.

She sounds like a great friend. Can I have her number? I think I want to be friends with her. She just sounds so delightful!

beatlesgirl25 · January 2010

No problem jess, just don't ever expect her to call back.

... if you are a Latina actress playing an Irish character. dying your hair blonde does not an Irish person make. yes, I'm watching Angel Eyes at the moment.

pristinedemon · January 2010

...you try to make your Hoopty look like a sweet ride. By writing "VTEC" on the side panel. In chalk. (Yes, I've actually seen this.)

...you list how many miscarriages you've had (AND the freaking dates on which they happened) in your signature. That's just weird. And kinda morbid. (courtesy of TB)

...you update your FB status with "I'm so sad" or "I feel like crying". Pity party, anyone?

...you can't spell or use proper grammar. Or you capitalize random words within a sentence.

...you don't dress your age. Seriously, what are you doing wearing your 17-year old's jeans?

...if you have a visible hickey

...If your 45-year-old boyfriend's nickname is "Moonshine." No lie.

KentuckyKate · January 2010

If THIS is one of your professional wedding pictures that you post on FB! STG this is real!

KentuckyKate · January 2010

AND you wear clear bra straps with your wedding dress (same girl).

eastunder1 · January 2010

.... if you have on "club" makeup (super heavy and dark, weird colors) during the daytime or in a business setting. Especially in a business setting.

.... if you have on sweatpants in public and aren't coming from a gym.

.... if you are fall down drunk and over the age of 23. Adults know when they've had enough.

....if you have on leggings as pants. NO.

.... if your dog is dressed up in clothing. I know I'm a minority on this one. I'm fine with that.

.... if you talk about wanting to "get healthy" while sucking down a big gulp and eating chicken fingers.

TOTALLY. "You're so skinny! I'm so fat!! You're so lucky!! Waaahhhh" While you get a Snickers bar and a bag of chips from the vending machine at work and I eat an apple.

Bubbalub · January 2010

KentuckyKate, I was looking at that first pic of the bride's tattoo and I swear it took me a minute to figure out wtf was happening there. Klassy.

-You text at the dinner table in a restaurant. Unplug for an hour, sheesh.

-you reinvent your personal history in your own mind to make you look like a better person then truly BELIEVE it. Hello, I was present for most of these incidents and your revisionist history does not add up to actual history. Now I don't think I can trust a word you say.

Ciaram22 · January 2010

when you bring your kids to the grocery store let them ride in one of the carts with the cars in the front and not discipline them when they start screaming. Then they scream the entire shopping trip and us checkers get nothing but complaints from the other customers for your childs behavior.
