So there's this guy in my major who drives everyone nuts. He's very condescending and takes himself VERY seriously. Lately on Facebook he's been making whiny posts about how he's so sick of being single and he hasn't had any physical contact in months and he's on 5 dating apps but never gets messages (though he won't message first either--his rationale behind that was a whole different post) and woe is meblahblahblah. And then today he has the nerve to post this:



Like, dude. This is why you are having the problems you are having (with girls, classmates, friends, professors, bosses, his parents...). I'm one of the only people in our major who talks to him anymore, but, sad as it is to say, it's mostly out of pity. Sometimes we don't have to say whatever pops into our heads. Give people a break and stop judging based on looks--especially photos. Some people just don't photograph well (I always look high as balls/like a deer in headlights in pics, but I don't think I'm a total monster. Also this dude has asked me out more that once, so... yay, I made the cut? 🤷‍♀️ ) Maybe she's not a perfect 10, so few of us are 😉🙄, but that doesn't mean she's a troll.

Oh dear Lord. This type of bro induced douchebaggery is so counter productive. The confidence arrogance line is ridiculously fine, and his violation of that border is a blatant disregard for reality. He should have had a stronger father.

Fast food places that take forever. Dairy Queen is a shit show every time I go. Why does it take 10 minutes to make a GD cone?! (in the drive through as I write this)

Beef: those little half sockies made to wear with a pair of flats. I’m convinced there is not a pair on the market that stay and don’t coil up! 🧦🧦

Aahhh Poppy I found some from Kohl’s that stay put! I think they’re Keds brand. But the best thing to wear with flats I actually found through a company that was a guest on Wake Up years ago, they’re called Not Socks. It’s like a charcoal shoe insole with a sock cover if that makes sense. The sock goes on the insert instead of on your foot, they are my fave.

What is the deal with men and nit picking cars? I swear I can get a tiny hair of a scratch on my car that I'm not even aware of and my dad AND husband will notice immediately and want to have some sort of discussion about it and ask me a million questions. (lol and no, I'm not a chronic accident-haver) I don't understand what they expect to gain from these conversations. Clearly I don't want scratches on my car either, I'm not doing it on purpose. Its my car anyway - leave me alone!

Karma, I'm looking at you. What do you have to say on behalf of your fellow man?

You know what, I have this beef, too. My husband always comments when there is a wrapper or any sort of anything in my car. I don't say anything about his pickup when I'm in it and it smells like cow shit (we both work in the cattle/beef industry lol). What's a little ice cream cone wrapper going to hurt?! ;)

Hahaha, my car would probably give your husband a heart attack! It's either spotless, or filled with everything I own.

TBH, As long as she does not blow it up by ignoring warning lights, I could care less. By letting me know that the car is making a noise, or has a light on the dash, I can take care of it before it becomes a big issue. I do, on the other hand, detail it for her on the weekends. I consider that one of the “outside” man duties. She has her hands full enough looking after her mother, and trying to deal with the house. I also do dishes and cook when she is tired. I wash my own clothes, and we share every other household responsibility. I have no more say over her personal things than she does mine.

I will ask one simple request though. If you bring your car in for service, we techs do appreciate a car that is not a rolling garbage can. I can tell you some true horror stories, diapers, sex toys, undergarments, colostomy bags, drugs, booze, porn, and food all make us want to delouse ourselves at the end of the day.

You're a real mensch Karma. My car is never really "dirty", the back seat is usually just full of Ali packages I'm hiding from the mister!

I promise I'm not an idiot, but I am blonde. I just have to tell you this story... a couple of years ago I bought a car. First time I had bought one on my own. My husband (then boyfriend) and I were chatting and he asked how I liked my car! "I said it's great, but there's a weird icon lit up and I don't know what it means." He asked if it was the check engine light, I said "no, it just looks like a mishapen box that's in motion, like in a cartoon." Long story short, yes, it was the check engine light that I thought was just a jiggling box. He will not let that one go...

I always say the first scratch is the hardest. I literally was about to buy a brand new car that the dealership backed into someone with and my reasoning was 1. They’ll give me a discount 2. The first scratch/dent is out the way. Everything after is lagniappe.

I also pulled into ththe carport and hit the house. And tried to cover it up with paint thinner and a shove with the hip. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

LOL when I first got a new car after having an old Saturn for a long time, a weird icon lit up that I can only describe as a horse butt and I couldn't figure out wtf it could be. I made phone calls describing it as such (there were no camera phones and mobile facebook at this time) and it took a few days, but I learned that it was a low tire pressure light. 
 

1. People who say “Expessially” (especially annoying to me!) .... I just happened to be sitting in a meeting yesterday and the young lady leading it probably said it 50 times.

2. Extreme overuse of the word “like” (nuff said).

3. The replacement of “I think” with “I feel like” by most people nowadays. Example: Instead of saying, “I think she is a better option to choose for this position for these 3 reasons...” they say, “I feel like she is a better option...”
I want to say, “You FEEL like she is? How does that feel? Warm and fuzzy? Cold? Give me some facts and use your brain people! Think!” (Can you tell I’m passionate about that one? 😂😂😂)

Ok...I’m good for the moment. That’s really cathartic!

The word “literally” and it’s misuse

I'm going to piggyback off the mispronunciation of words theme. It drives me up a wall when people say "FUSStrated" or "FUSStrating". There's an R in there, people.

Not sure if your comment is related or not but, when Heart Attack Terri called in last week, she said "fusstrated" and I almost threw my phone across the room. She also referenced her "charge card" which really bumped me for some reason.

Any political correctness whatsoever. This world needs to suck it up
