I think it's annoying when people victimize themselves. It seems like nowadays people look for things to be offended by just so that they can be a martyr for their cause. I find it exhausting.
This is inspired by the FB divorce discussion the other day...I think it's weird to get a divorce and not say anything about it. People announce engagements, marriages, babies, etc. A divorce is another major life event. I think it's strange when all of the sudden people just change their relationship status and press on like nothing happened.

I hate when people constantly complain about how busy they are. It makes me dread talking to these people and even attempting to make plans. Yeah, I got it. We are all busy. Get over yourself.

Oh, yes. I have a date with one of those people today. My other friend talked me into it. She drives me crazy.

Ugh. I agree with this wholeheartedly. Deal with your shit.
I also think that there are trendy causes and they irritate me. Like bullying. Obviously it happens, no duh, but it has always happened. It is different now because of the Internet and cell phones and so on, but most of us lived through it to some degree just fine.

Nobody takes responsibility for themselves anymore. How am I supposed to take you seriously as an adult if you blame everyone else for everything that happens to you?
Yea, I don't think any of these are unpopular. You guys can do better than that! Here's mine...
I enjoy talking shit.
Not like, all the time, or to/with anyone, but my bff and I can talk some shit. About eachother, about strangers, about people we know. Get us together and we can crack some jokes. I would never say intentionally mean things to someone (is behind their back better??) And I am a nonconfrontational person. I am actually pretty nice, promise. But get some cheap fruit "wine" in us and watch out!
Eta: the rest of what I wanted to say. Stupid phonernets!
I think it is really innappropriate to pierce a baby's ears. I just can't understand why a parent would intentionally cause their baby physical pain, (no matter how quickly it is over) strictly for decorational purposes.
okay, i have one that will probably get some peeps riled up.
I think that some women are oversensitive to the NIP controversy. I NIP on a regular basis, and no one has ever so much as batted an eyelash in my direction. It makes me wonder if I'm really in the minority here, or are other women being overly sensitive to people "judging" them? Just because someone casts a curious second glance in your direction, doesn't mean that they are trying to publicly shame you. It could just mean that you caught them off guard because NIP isn't always something you see every day walking down the street. Now, with that being said, I always use a cover and am pretty discreet when I NIP. I'm not worried about what others think per-say, it's just more for my comfort level.
I wonder about that too kiwi! I NIP whenever I'm out (last week at a stadium during a soccer game and the week before on a bar patio while drinking a beer - gasp) and I've never noticed anyone judging me. And, the horror, G rips my cover off every time I try lately, so I've probably been extra conspicuous.
I had the same feeling when I was pregnant and ordered a glass of wine at restaurants. I never noticed anyone side eyeing me. Perhaps I'm just blissfully oblivious?

I totally agree with this! I think people pierce ears and put ridiculous giant bows on their little girls just to prove they are little girls. Babies are babies and they won't remember being called the wrong gender a few times in their lives.

I think people are self-conscious about whatever and instead of just admitting to it they scream about being judged by others to cover up whatever insecurities they have. Which ties back into my previous post about people not taking responsibility for themselves.

I've got a good one... when I was dating and even now with my husband, I didn't/don't care about gender equality. I want my door opened and I don't want to see a bill. When I'm out, I want to be treated like a lady. Even though dh's cc and mine are on the same bill, when a check comes at a restaurant, I still expect him to pay it.
TBH, MH hates when I NIP. It makes him uncomfortable. We are going to his friend's house for a BBQ on Saturday and it will be the first time meeting them. I promised him not to NIP at their house.
