This probably isn't too flameful, but a poster on another board shared that she was team vagina after finding out her baby's sex. My eyes rolled at that one.
Team Pink/Team Green/Team Blue is so stupid anyway.
Can't you just say you're having a boy/girl/don't know?
People really need to stop with the "I give no fucks"/"I have no fucks to give"/etc. It was clever the first time. That was a long time ago.
I found out from an admin that my annoying office neighbor whined about someone "stealing" his plain instant oatmeal. First of all, our office provides instant oatmeal to us, including plain. He brings his own (same brand) and stores it in a communal break room cabinet, not labeled with his name. So, odds are the bin that holds the free employee oatmeal was empty and someone was looking for more, and grabbed some from the box in the cabinet.
Anyway, the confession part of this is I have been so tempted since I heard about this to grab oatmeal from his box instead of from the communal stock, just to hear him get all worked up about someone stealing from him.
My other confession is that I regularly steal food from the coworkers I don't like.
Not their lunch, but oatmeal, cereal,milk, candy etc. They deserve it.
So you're like... a vindictive, self-serving Robin Hood.
The Duggar thread (http://pandce.proboards.com/thread/237748/michelle-duggar-trying-pregnant-child) reminded me of one.
I can't help but roll my eyes when people say they're "praying about" a decision. To me that seems like using self-righteousness and piety to place a decision to do whatever the hell you want to do, beyond reproach because who can argue with "God told me to"?
To be fair, though, the people I've known IRL who talk of "praying about" decisions include a cousin who "prayed about" whether to buy a particular pair of expensive shoes to wear for her wedding, so there's that. People who actually pray about real, weighty decisions probably don't talk much about said praying.
I seem to have lost my swim cap last week. Swimming without a cap is really annoying. So today, despite my lack of income, I ordered a new one. It cost nearly six and one-half AMERICAN DOLLARS. I probably just shouldn't exercise until the furlough ends. FOR SHAME, HARPY!
I think a lot of food "allergies" are really just preferences.
I definitely prefer not to have hours of stomach cramps and the ability to be more than 5 feet from a toilet. Which is what happens when I eat lobster.
Not ALL food allergies, obviously. I went to dinner with someone recently who pulled out a laminated list of foods to avoid. It was 70 items deep. She said they made her tired.

This is completely tragic. How are we going to take our family trip to Maine and eat lobster for every meal now?!

That's not an allergy. Did she say she had an allergy? If so, she was just wrong. Those are things she's intolerant to, or that make her tired. Not that she's allergic to.

I've had many a friend rush out into traffic when a pet got off leash. I don't think they really thought it through, I think they just reacted. If you think about it rationally, it seems stupid, but in the moment all you are thinking is, 'Something I love is in danger, I must act.' I would feel crazy guilty if I didn't even try to do something for my pet if he was in danger.
I did this once. Light traffic, but still.
If you asked me to consider jumping off a building to save my dog's life, I obviously would not. But when my dog is in danger (especially because it was my fault that he got off leash), I'm probably going to react in a way that tries to protect him.

Yes, she told the server she had severe allergies to the items on the list. She told me they made her tired when I asked what happened if she ate them.

PS. Re: allergies, I must be allergic to booze. It makes me really sleepy. Also I must be allergic to eating a lot of food, and also watching TV or movies late at night.

On last night's episode of 19 Kids and Counting, the glass blowing Michelle did looked like a penis. I couldn't stop laughing, especially when she made comments about sticking the pole in too far.
I guess the flameful part is that I watch that show, but it seemed to fit with the Duggar link and penis jokes.
I have something! I thought of it last night. Basically, I think that super strict veganism is in some ways a socially acceptable way to maintain disordered eating.
I have a few friends who pretty much eat fruit and vegetables and have a focus on no added oils, no gluten, choosing super foods, etc. I just feel like when you get to the point that simply fueling your body takes up a huge portion of your day - because at that level you have to plan every. single. bite., shop at specialty stores, cook 99.9% of things at home - that there's a level of obsession required that strikes me as potentially worrying.
I agree with this. I work in a vegan restaurant and have people come in, look at the whole (completely vegan) menu and decide there is nothing on there they can eat and order a bowl of steamed carrots and tea. Stay home if that's what you're going to eat! I also know a few people who kind of come out of an eating disorder, but follow a strict vegan diet. It's still the same control over food.
I also agree with the food allergy thing that someone else said. There is a choice of two different sides that contain soy, or sauteed greens. A lot of times people say they have a soy allergy, but when they hear there only other choice is greens, the soy side is ok to eat.
I have to agree with both of you. I had a very good friend who had a severe eating disorder, which was an ongoing problem for many years of our friendship. When she refused to commit to an inpatient treatment center, on the advice/recommendation of her ED therapist, because it could/would not accommodate her vegan diet, I knew that she wasn't serious about getting help and was using veganism as another way to control food. It was incredibly sad to see and I had never once thought of it in that way until this experience.

I'm spending my kid's naptime drinking hot cider, watching Buffy, and eating cookie butter with a spoon instead of cleaning. Is that flameful? Because it feels awesome.

I'm sorry, but your friend's a weirdo. Laminated? Makes her tired?
I don't care how good people say Gravity is, I can't bring myself to watch it. The only way you could make a movie about floating off into space worse for me is if it involved slowly drowning or the heat death of the universe at the same time. Then I read an interview with Commander Hadfield (the Space Oddity guy) and aparently this is exactly every astronaut's worst fear.
I am glad my seven-year-old dream job was digging up dinosaur bones and not becoming an astronaut.
jenny1980 wins. There must be an explanation for this.
My flameful is that I will pay 3x as much for a pair of workout pants that don't fit me as good as a diff pair bc they are lululemon. I do what Lululemon wants!

Not flameful. I was a bit about that particular turn of phrase too. Unnecessary.

1. My parents are arriving today and I still haven't cleaned their bathroom 2. Kid 2 is desperately tired but I need to get Kid 1 from school in half an hour so I'm letting Kid 2 play Sonic on the ipad to keep him awake 3. I am so excited for my parents' visit because I get to sleep in when they're here
All this leads to confession 4 4. I am insanely lazy

I legitimately do love my Lululemon stuff because of the fit and that it doesn't move around and such, but I'll admit that I do buy it in part because that's what everyone else in my fitness classes wears and I feel poor enough there as is... so there's a fitting in aspect to it.
