The pledge creeps me out too. And I know it creeps out my Canadian and European friends. No, it's nothing like Nazism at all, but it is very creepy indoctrination.
I pledge allegiance, to the Knot, as the bombest state of the Internet. And to the good etiquette, for which it stands, All nations, no cash bars, with liberty and wedding cake for all.
Another Beyonce hater. And I've always hated Jay Z.
And I don't like the Beatles.
You can sit with my FI in the "What the fuck is wrong with you?" corner He doesn't get them either. "I mean, the music isn't bad, but to say they changed a generation? No."
omg I can't handle that. They did more for music than like anyone. ever. I can't even make a coherent sentence about it right now. I need to pretend your FI does not exist.
Oh the world's first boy band? Yeah I can't stand The Beatles, either.
They have a few songs I like but overall I find them to be overblown and annoying.
"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space."

"Under God" was added during the 1950s. Some schools choose not to use that version. My school used "under God", but I never said it. I'd just pause at that part.

Think the pledge is creepy now you should look up what they originally wanted to use.
I hate it when people say "Huh?" every time they are spoken to.
People I know, they know better. They say "pardon"" or "excuse me?". When they slip and say "Huh?" I turn to ice. They realize, and say "I'm sorry, what was that?"
Usually if I don't say anything, they answer my question anyway. It isn't like they didn't understand me, it is just their habit to say "Huh?" every time they are spoken to.
I know, I am a bitch. If strangers answer me with "Huh?" I repeat myself but very enunciated, biting off each word like an icicle.
I forgot one. When people pose stuff up for the photo op, for example, on my niece's first birthday, the out a cake in front of her and started taking photos. She stuck a finger and started eating icing. Well, apparently this wasn't good enough and SIL smeared icing all over face and hands and took more photos. They were up on facebook as the first birthday cake mess photos. Um, no, you did that, not the 1 year old going crazy with the cake.
I hate when people compare shit in the US to Nazism. I legitimately have relatives/ancestors (what would that even be?) who died in camps. My grandma's parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, etc lived in a Jewish city in Lithuania and every. Single. One. Of those people were wiped out. My grandma came to the US 6 years before it happened. She was the only one left. There is no comparison.
Oh you don't like Obama's policies? Yeah he must be a Nazi. He must have killed a family of 30 people in a 22-hour span. Damn him! Oh you don't like the pledge? Yeah that's so Nazi. We have it so bad here in the US. Aw let's all shed a tear about it.
*disclaimer, the Obama comment is not from the Knot, it's just shit I've heard from Fox news, republicans, social media, etc, and I'm not a fan of Obama but I'm also not gonna go so far as to draw such a comparison because there isn't one.

If you spoke to me that way, I'd tell you to fucking relax and ignore your question.
I will add: there's a woman in my office who does some social media something or other for our company and she frequently speaks on the phone with people out in the field. Every third word that comes out of her mouth is "uh" or "um." It drives me up the fucking wall but I'm aware that it is not my place to bring it up to her or to try to correct a co-worker's/near stranger's bad speaking habits.
My fiancé doesn't always use proper grammar and I'll sometimes point it out politely because he likes to be aware of that type of thing, especially because he frequently deals with some bigwigs at his company. But I can't think of another scenario where that's appropriate if it's not your spouse or your children.

I am socially awkward, shy, and very anxious and I admit that I talk like this a lot. I also fidget and have trouble maintaining eye contact while speaking.

-quote box not working- Except my coworker is actually quite outgoing and is really talkative; she only does the annoying "uh.." thing when she's on the phone (which is a lot). It's like when the person isn't standing right in front of her, she doesn't think through what it is she wants to say.
But talking down to someone the way PP described for responding with "huh" is just really unnecessarily condescending.

If it is because a person is just so self-centered that the clanging noise in their own head is so fascinating, that they don't care to show the courtesy of listening, then I don't care to be acquainted with them, and it will end with "Huh?"
If someone has a genuine disability or problem with shyness and communication, I am only too happy to be patient and understanding. There are a lot more people of the former description, than the latter.
There are more attractive ways to request a repeat than a stupid ignorant "Huh?".

This is obnoxious. Sometimes people (especially strangers) aren't paying attention right off the bat when another stranger is talking to them.
Well, I am proving the name of the topic! UO, Unpopular Opinions!
That was the topic name. Not "Let's make beethery happy" Anyway, I don't have to change my opinions or feelings because you curse at me.
It's not an unpopular opinion, it's just unnecessarily rude behavior. Most people don't LIKE people saying "huh," we just deal with it better.
It is a quirk of mine. Rude behavior, maybe, but so is "Huh?" all the time. Don't let me hear you say, no one here has quirks!
If a person says "huh?" because they didn't hear you, or didn't understand you, they are not rude. They may be inarticulate, but a vast vocabulary is not needed to be polite.

Responding snottily when someone doesn't understand you and doesn't immediatly respond with, "Pardon me, madame, but I was unable to understand the words you used to address me." isn't a quirk.

Being rude isn't a quirk, and the proper way to treat people isn't a matter of opinion.
I'm the fuck out.
So are you! But you are a mod, so it's ok.
Bet you like the smell of your own farts.
I'm the fuck out.
