NWR: Stupidest things heard today.

pumpkinsandturkeys · January 2014

So, here's a list of the stupidest, non-wedding-related things I've heard today (all by the same person, amazingly):

"You shouldn't throw out those coupons, even if you don't eat there." (...then why would we keep them?)

"You can lose 400lbs on the McDonald's diet."

"You should unplug your fridge to save money and store all of your food outside in the snow."

"You can't get a 50" - 60" TV for less than a grand."

"You have to eat salad in less than 3 days or it will go bad."

"Lake Erie is pretty shallow. It should have frozen over by now."

Why? Why am I being subjected to this?

Hahahaha... Sorry but it is kind of funny.

I'm smacking my head against the wall and looking for something to render me temporarily deaf until said individual leaves my house.

jdluvr06 · January 2014

Ugh! They're at your house. That really sucks

pumpkinsandturkeys · January 2014

Ohhh yes. A frequent visitor who has become more mind-numbingly obnoxious since dating their significant other. It's like dumb-meets-dumber.

jdluvr06 · January 2014

I'm sorry. I hope this person leaves soon.

FI made a comment about how Guest is reading his new magazine before FI gets to and joked that he should pay FI for it. Guest said we get the pleasure of his company.

I couldn't resist saying, "Believe me -- I'M the one paying for that."

My fiancé has this ex who he has seen once for two minutes in years, but she messages him on Facebook all the time to whine about her first world problems or be super neurotic about his life even though she has nothing to do with his life. She's a constant stream of stupid shit, here are my favorite comments from her:

FI mentioned smoking a hookah and watching netflix (hookah is a 100% legal tobacco product) and her immediate response was "Wow, that must be extra interesting on hookah!" There is absolutely nothing hallucinogenic about hookah.

She has told FI multiple times she's worried that he's going to overdose and die on pot because he's in college.

The last time we saw her, in the two minutes we were around she was going on and on about how wasted she got off of two glasses of wine. She was talking about these two glasses of wine the way normal people would talk about a wild night with tequila shots. FI asked her if she needed to cut the wine with cranberry juice.

A while ago she told my MOH not to get her hopes up about being asked out because "Only pretty girls get asked out." It was really funny when that same year my MOH had guys pretty much fighting over her meanwhile this ex is single to this day.

She sounds like a speshul snowflake.

I think the hookah and pot comments are the funniest to me. FI and I have had hookahs for a while, and I know for a fact he's told her multiple times it's a tobacco product, but she's still convinced it's some sort of hallucinogenic meth cooker.

And as for the weed comments, I get it's not everyone's cup of tea, but how do you drink alcohol regularly, which kills a lot of people and leads to a lot of life-ruining addictions, then complain that you just know weed is deadly even though you can't think of a single situation in which someone died from weed?

I'd stop short of calling it 'deadly', but I do class it as a drug, the same as any other drug. My brother smoked pot heavily for years and actually developed an addiction to it and an anxiety disorder as a result. When he quit, he went through almost a month of withdrawal symptoms, similar to an alcoholic. It was pretty hard to watch.

But at the same time, I'm not about to lord over people and act holier-than-thou about it. I've tried it, it's not for me, and that's where I end it (unless someone pushes me on it). Sounds like she should keep her opinions about it to herself unless asked, too.

See you're the kind of non smoker I like. I also class it as a drug, but if I had to rank every drug in order of how dangerous it is, I'd rank it as less dangerous than alcohol, just given that you can OD on alcohol, but not weed. So given that it is still a drug, I have no problem with people who don't want to smoke and don't like it, but I have a problem with people who drink alcohol then lecture me about how much danger I'm in.
