When people assume you're angry or upset about something because you're pmsing or on your period. -_-
pet peeves / lil stuff you cant stand
- Thread starter biibii
- Start date
It's not a ploy it's kind of the entire point of a baby shower aside from celebrating the pregnancy because babies are expensive. No one was hiding this.
I don't see what's wrong with that, though? Babies are expensive and baby products are ridiculously priced. It's really hard for a couple (or single person) to purchase everything needed for a baby. So they host a party and people bring gifts as a way to congratulate them on the pregnancy and help out.
As a side note it makes me really sad how little support there is around pregnancy/the first few years of a babies life. I know that other countries have midwives that continue to help out after the pregnancy and I wish that was more common here and in the states. The first few months after having a baby are so isolating, exhausting, and scary and it's frustrating how little support new parents get.

You know I love men, but if I see the words “male loneliness epidemic” together again…. 
And people blaming us women for some reason. Come on, now!
(Note: I understand that men can be lonely and depressed like everyone else, but I’m talking about this specific thing in the media people are unfairly blaming women for.)

Actually just thought of another one that I may not have posted yet... the inability of people to let things go and instead hold grudges. It's pretty funny because I used to have a friend like this years ago, and I had good memories with them and thought that we'd always be best friends, but then after a mistake I made they ended up holding onto that grudge for years, even when we reconnected, and the friendship just wasn't the same anymore. I eventually got back into contact with them a couple years ago and they weren't even the person I knew anymore.
(The person in question wasn't anyone here BTW, it's someone I befriended on an old online game)

The romanticization of high school and college years…especially since the latter ruined me mentally and physically. I’m amazed I graduated high school. I’m amazed I even attended college. I know it was a long time ago, but…wow.
Also, I know teachers are underpaid and work hard (my grandparents were teachers), but many I’ve had in school were rude, picked on me for no reason, and always went on power trips. I do feel for teachers who are good at their jobs, but honestly my experiences make it hard for me to feel bad for them.

Oh god I feel this. I had an old friend group that kind of disbanded because of the way 2 in the group held grudges and any little infraction set them off on some holier than thou tirade. The last straw for them was something I wasn't even around to be part of, but apparently I was still guilty lol. We're better off without people like that in our lives.
I hated this crap while I was in elementary and high school. I remember this one girl who sat beside me in math ended up hating me cause she found out that the guy she had a crush on had a crush on me. Meanwhile I had never spoken to the guy (and she knew this) and still claimed I was a "man stealer". I had to deal with this for the rest of the semester and it was super frustrating to be hated for something I legit didn't do.
There were many other instances of stupid crap like this and sadly, I didn't grow a spine until in my early 20s. But now that I have, I do not tolerate anything like this now that I'm an adult. Life is hard enough, nobody needs this. I don't argue about stupid stuff in my life anymore. I'm too tired and too old.
Anyone who pulls this nonsense needs to be cut off immediately. They do not get better, they only drag you down with them. You're allowed to speak your mind and live your life and if someone has a problem with your opinions or the way you live, they need to be cut off. Nobody needs to walk on eggshells afraid of speaking in case someone gets triggered by every little thing. (This goes without saying, as long as what you're saying/doing isn't harmful to others).
There doesn't need to be a dramatic cut off either. Just quiet quit your friendship and move on to bigger and better things lol.

Definitely when people think you are mad with no evidence to the fact that you just have a resting bleep face.
Many Americans who preach about freedom are the same ones who are obsessed with dictating how others live.
e.g bragging about freedom and supporting laws against gay marriage is rather hypocritical.

People who judge you for not meeting certain milestones and tell you that you're not a "real" adult until you reach them. With **** like this, it's no wonder us young adults feel so behind in life.
News flash! Not everyone's going to reach these milestones at the "right" ages! You're not any less of an adult just because you don't have a job, a car, a college degree, and/or your own house. People should be more patient and encouraging instead of ****ting on others over milestones they haven't checked off yet. Some people take longer than others to meet these milestones, and everyone's life is different.

Idk why people bullied me for being quiet. (Maybe I seemed weird when I wasn’t, who knows.) But the first part seemed to be the motivator. I mean, I didn’t do anything, so what’s the problem??
Also, when people act shocked when the quiet person says something funny— excuse me?! We THINK, you know…you think our heads are made of wood?!

@QueenCobra I relate to this a ton. I also find it annoying people think I’m completely pure and literally act like i’m a child when I say a swear word like i’ve never heard it before.
i think people bully others for being quiet mainly because they’re insecure. i know it sounds dumb but it’s probably because the quiet person isn’t interacting with them and they think that translates to “i don’t like you.” the bully has to project themselves onto the quiet person to feel better.
also separate reason: you’re quiet so they think you’re an easy target. this happens the most in middle and high schools though.
i’ve gotten multiple comments about how quiet i am. you kind of have to change your mindset to “THEY are the one who has a problem with me, however i am not the problem.”

Thanks. This doesn’t happen to me anymore, but mostly when I was younger and in school. I am a lady now and while it doesn’t get to me, it’s just one of those old mysteries I never understood.

As much as I like romance novels and stuff. I am not a fan of romance where the protagonist quit their (good paying) job or refuse that promotion that they were dying to have at the beginning, because they fallen in love. Ugh.
I wonder if there's stories out there that makes fun of this trope. The two characters in love lives happily ever after... Only for them to go bankrupt. lol

Reminds me of those Hallmark movies where the girl quits her job and leaves her boyfriend to help some guy with his blueberry farm.
I saw movie on Roku that was a parody of Hallmark movies (“Christmas with the Campbells”)…I don’t think they went bankrupt though lol.

Fun fact, the book I'm currently reading was published by Hallmark before they had closed their publishing business. lolReminds me of those Hallmark movies where the girl quits her job and leaves her boyfriend to help some guy with his blueberry farm.

The female protagonist is some sort of event planner (?). Her task is to go down to a struggling unknown mountain town and help them raise money to save the town from going bankrupt. So she has this idea of making a Christmas parade.
Everyone is on board with it except for the town's sheriff. So they're budding heads at the beginning of the story; he (the sheriff) is concerned about the expenses of the parade (understandable) and the girl is very optimistic about it with her ideas, well also thinking about the promotion she'll get if everything goes smoothly.
Spoiler alert, it does. However, because this is Hallmark. She wants to reconsidered her promotion and stay with the sheriff guy in town.
However compared to the movies, the books are a bit better.
This is why I don't like many romance books. Women are portrayed so poorly in them (and media in general tbh). Even if the author starts off writing the woman as an actual person, she gets dumbed down in order to bow down to be with her man. It's always some creepy dependency romance too. It's never a smart idea to throw away your life for some dude you just met but yet so many romance stories have this trope.
