I love being a basic bitch. I love my Uggs. I love my leggings. I love my North Face vest and fleece. I don't carry Coach or drink Starbucks, so I'm not basic enough I guess.
In general, I love being comfortable and I hate having to dress up, wear heels, or put on makeup. I usually wear capris and ballet flats to work. I've been wearing yoga pants, though, because of my steroid weight gain. When not at work, I'm usually walking around in flip flops. If I had hair, it would be pulled up in a pony tail. I don't get manicures because it always chips.
I don't get being okay with "pardon me" but not "huh." Both mean the exact same thing, that the person didn't hear you or wasn't paying attention. One is just a bit more eloquent then the other.
Moving right along.
I hate Miracle on 34th Street and It's A Wonderful Life.
I love watching the Kardashians.
I don't really like music all that much. If it is something with nice a beat and I can dance/sing along to it then great, but if you asked "what music do you love/what band or artist is your favorite?" I couldn't give you an answer because I don't care enough to have a favorite.
My FI hates Nickelback and Creed with a passion. He always listens to Pandora while he's in the shower and has his phone in the bathroom. If by chance one of those bands come on while he's in the shower it's my job to run in and skip the song.
I love Nirvana but I hate the song "Smells like Teen Spirit". Seriously it is their worst song and waaaay over rated. Also I think Dave Grohl is super hot now but he wasn't when he was in Nirvana. He kind of looked like a monkey then.

My FI is exactly the opposite. He loves Creed. And Nickelback. Ah!

Oh hey! I was out of town for a few days and missed the fun.
I am not a parent, and my UO is that I hate strollers. HATE.
1) If you are taking one child into a crowded area, you don't get to hit people's shins with your Hummer-sized monstrosity of overpreparedness. You do not need to take your child's entire bedroom with you on the go. I have some leniency for toddlers who are too heavy to carry and can't exactly navigate crowds either; but then again, your child has no need to be in a Chriskindlemarket aside from seeing Santa, and the booth for that is on the edge of the market, so get out of the center of the gluwein clusterfuck, please.
2) Why does a 10-pound human get to take up the equivalent of five seats on a public bus? Why? Because someone packed the child's entire bedroom on public transportation and refuses to fold up the stroller and stick the child on their lap or, God-forbid, hold he/she in their arms.
This weekend I went out of my way to hold a series of 3 doors for this woman who was absolutely struggling with her huge stroller. Trying to be a general good person and all that blah blah blah.
As she goes by on the last one I look down and can't stop myself from saying outloud "is that a fake baby?!" (It was a fake baby.)
"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space."

I feel like we need to know more about this fake baby! What did it look like? What did she say when you asked if it was a fake baby? Why did she have a fake baby in a huge stroller?
@Fran1985 What the actual fuck? You must elaborate. Did she respond?
I only skimmed the thread b/c it was too long by the time I got to it, but I love Rush, Nickelback, and Titanic, so fuck you guys.
@AddieCake It was just a doll all tucked in. Not even a realistic looking one either. And no she didn't respond, she gave me a dirty look like I was the one breaking all social conventions.

Okay I decided to stop pouting and come back in here and I'm really glad I did. This new ever hart seems like a really sweet girl.
Huh?!
Sorry, I couldn't hear you. :-P
Hey @ prettygirllost it's pardon me. Don't you have any manners?!
Fuck no!!!!!!!
This actually reminds me of my mom. She is legally deaf in one ear from a really bad fever she had as a child. So she always has to ask people to repeat themselves, but a lot of times people get annoyed and get snappy with her for not hearing them, so lately she's gotten into the habit of just smiling and nodding and pretending she heard so that no one gets nasty with her. So then she has no idea what's going on or what the conversation is. It's a shame people can't learn to be a little more patient and a little bit kind. You never know what someone else is dealing with. (in regards to the person who originally said they'll be rude to anyone who says "huh")

This is my favorite thing on the interwebz this week.
What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14
I haven't watched the movie Elf and I'm pretty sure I'd hate it because I hate. hate. hate. Will Farrell.
I hate WF too usually, but I love Elf. I was surprised I enjoyed it because he seriously annoys me; I didn't even watch it until it had been out on DVD for like 3 years.
I hate when I'm all comfy in my North Face & UGGs and realize I look like everyone I hate. Or I look like a teenage girl. Although they usually all wear leggings as pants with their UGGs and North Face jackets. I cannot wear leggings as pants, I have a big bum.

Ditto this. I can't stand WF. He's not funny at all to me and I hate all the movies he's in. But in college my roommate forced me to watch Elf with her cuz it was her most favorite Christmas movie ever, and I actually liked it. I think because Bob Newhart was in it :P

Ugh, but I need to know WHY?!!!!!
I need to find this woman and ask her, straight up, "WTF?!"
I almost did that the other day to this guy that walked past me barefoot. Full business casual attire, no shoes or socks on. . . in December.
"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space."
I love Nirvana but I hate the song "Smells like Teen Spirit". Seriously it is their worst song and waaaay over rated. Also I think Dave Grohl is super hot now but he wasn't when he was in Nirvana. He kind of looked like a monkey then.
The beard helps him a lot. He is one of my favorite people.
The beard does help a lot for him. He is one of my favorite people too. He is seriously so talented it is unreal. Plus he seems like a super nice guy.
I don't loathe Dave Matthews. I loathe DMB fans. I don't loathe the Cubs. I loathe Cubs fans.
If I met a guy and asked what kind of music he liked, a response such as, "Oh, you know, like DMB and stuff," would be a deal breaker. When I was in high school, liking DMB was cool like wearing Abercombie was cool, and people would brag about how many concerts they'd been to. Cubs fans are deal breakers for dating too, because I don't understand how someone can pay top dollar to support a team that just can't win. Lack of logic and wasting money are both turn-offs for a relationship with me. People are usually Cubs fans because it's cool to be a Cubs fan and wear pink tight t-shirts and get wasted and not actually watch the game taking place on the field-- yet heaven forbid anyone's a White Sox fan because White Sox fans are thugs because they're on the South Side and you know, logic.

I think I can beat this. Back in my home town at least 10 years ago there was a guy that would walk around dressed like Jesus. Some kids would come to class and say " Hey I hung out with Jesus on Saturday!" The guy always creeped me out, so I never talked to or approached him.

Did you guys watch SonicHighways? I really liked it even though I didn't love the actual foo fighters songs. Dave is super endearing in it- I loved it way more than I thought I would.

Ok, stopping my rant now.
Haha, H is a Cubs fan, and I told him the bolded last night. In his defense, he grew up in Des Monies, and they had no professional sports teams. The closest thing they had was minor league baseball, which is the Cubs affiliate. Hence, he grew up going to Iowa Cubs games. But I wouldn't say he spends any money supporting the Cubs. I just like to tease him about liking a losing team.

I'm confused. The bolded isn't the reason to go to Cubs games?

Then clearly you have never been to Pittsburgh. . . Pirates, what?

Re: UO
I love being a basic bitch. I love my Uggs. I love my leggings. I love my North Face vest and fleece. I don't carry Coach or drink Starbucks, so I'm not basic enough I guess.
In general, I love being comfortable and I hate having to dress up, wear heels, or put on makeup. I usually wear capris and ballet flats to work. I've been wearing yoga pants, though, because of my steroid weight gain. When not at work, I'm usually walking around in flip flops. If I had hair, it would be pulled up in a pony tail. I don't get manicures because it always chips.
I'm the fuck out.
