I’m reading a WSJ article about watches as status symbols and there’s a $79,000 watch listed. That just pisses me off. That is 3 Honda Accords. If you buy that you’re an idiot. FUCK YOU, YOU RICH IDIOT.
I know someone that had a 120,000 ring, and I just kept thinking that's a house. You could buy a house for that (or at least 1/2 a house in a low to medium COL area).
Yep. Don’t get me wrong. I covet my mom’s Audi and I think you should get nice things if you want them, but $79,000 for something that was invented in the 18th century and does literally 1 thing just feels excessive.
Peloton is the new crossfit/bootcamp and I remain uninterested. If you want to ride your ass off, godspeed, but I'm over it.
DH just sent me this. lol
It's so real though.
If my H bought me a professional reformer it would be cool because I do Pilates! If I came down to a treadmill or bike on Christmas I'd be all "sir have you sustained a head injury? Are you new? Did you lose a bet?"
That bugs me. It's such a stupid rhyme, and I'm sure I'm the only one it bothers, but to the thread's intent there ya go: that boy band rhyme in that stupid song.
See also the Billy Joel song Piano Man:
"And he's talking with Davy Who's still in the Navy"
Nope to that rhyme, too, plus it bugs me the way Billy Joel sings the word Navy.
(YES, these are things that bother me BUT SHOULDN'T.)
Ha! (How's that for course-correcting the thread, mofongo ?)

Are you legitimately saying you don't know what boy band that is?

Yes, and nocurr. It's either the NSync boys or maybe that other one...
I just turned 54. It's not like these were bands that existed when I was in high school or college.
I am trying to think of the name of the other boy band. BACKSTREET BOYS. I know there are other boys bands, too, but I think it's maybe them.
I am FINE with anybody who loves these bands. I just have no real connection to them.

Does Davy and Navy not rhyme?
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Billy Joel song so I’m not sure how he says it.

He says it just fine, it just bothers ME the way he sings it.
I think Billy Joel is very talented and it feels like an easy out: Davy in the Navy. Yes, they do rhyme perfectly.
I'm good with being the only one it bothers. And I realize it should not bother me.

People who keep their earbuds in while I’m trying to tell them something. I don’t care that there’s no music playing, it looks rude af.
I once had an interview where the interviewer had his Apple Airpods in his ears the whole time. It was so distracting. I kept wondering if he could hear me or not. LOL

First, I just want to say that that song is pretty much a true story. Joel had gotten into a really shitty record deal where they would either own all of his music and/or all the profits. So, he hid out in LA working at a piano bar until the contract ran out. Just a fun fact. lol
And to go on this rhyming stuff I remember someone online somewhere complaining about how a writer had made everything rhyme in her song. And all I could think is that is pretty much what happens in every single song. If note every line in a row, then every 2nd or third line.
We do a "Secret Santa" with my in-laws and give a wishlist when our name is drawn. So we're basically in a room, unwrapping gifts THAT WE WANTED and then have to guess who gave us the gift. A lot of men write down gift cards. Wat???
I mean, I'd rather save my money and not trade gifts at all. I can buy my own shit on my list.
We've tried the White Elephant exchange and that didn't go over too well. What is wrong with people??? Why do we have to exchange gifts/GC's? Why can we just give the kids gifts and save our money?!? #RatchetsetForLyfe #Baughhumbug
That is so annoying!
And reminded me of another annoyance related to this. We have done no gifts the past few years with family and I love it. But of course this year my sister decides to set up a Christmas couples exchange for the adult couples in our immediate family. Kind of annoying but fine. This is billed as a fun adult thing, with a limit of $80. We got matched with my stepsister and her husband and their list is ONLY gift cards or things for their toddler kids. Particularly annoying because one reason this is meant to be an adults only thing is that I have infertility and we are childless not by choice and the holidays are kid-centric and hard. But to add insult to injury, they want their match to buy them toddler socks and underwear - of all things. These people have a HHI of roughly $400,000, these are not wish tree kids. Don’t make your infertile step siblings buy your kids necessities you can afford to provide!
That is really shitty and I'd be tempted to get them a monogrammed toilet paper holder.

My husband and I were at dinner the other night and this lady ACCEPTED a FACETIME call and chatted with whoever on speaker for about 5 minutes! She even panned around the restaurant so they could see what was going on.
It was truly stunning. And probably should/would bother everyone.
Meh this could be me lol. I only get some very limited chances to talk to/see my husband. If I’m out to eat and he’s able to contact me I’m taking it.
Then you excuse yourself from the table and take the call elsewhere.
People who play their music audibly on public transportation

Don't get me started on public telephone calls. Totally unnecessary unless you're calling 911.
DH was traveling for work and face timed me from a restaurant in Peru with all his co-workers. I was in bed in a robe, fully clothed underneath because I run cold in the winter, and it was like 8pm, but I was tired. I had no idea he was going out to eat, and then he panned the phone for me to say hi to all his co-workers while I am sitting in bed. WTF, DH.
Everything at work is annoying me today because it is just a bunch of little things that are starting to add up. None of them are important on their own. I'm just ready to go home for the day.
Haha, my SO does that ALL the time. He travels a lot and we have 2 different houses so he's often in the other city. He always shows the phone to his friends for me to say "hi" then he just says ok gotta go cause I'm out, I'll call you back. I find it enduring a little bit that he always wants me to say hi to his friends, but I'm usually in no bra with my afro a mess, so I'm like uhh. Lol.
People who keep their earbuds in while I’m trying to tell them something. I don’t care that there’s no music playing, it looks rude af.
Half the time I wear them it's to keep people from talking to me. The last thing I'm going to do is encourage someone that tries to talk to me anyway.
Understandable in certain situations. Sitting in a waiting room? Earbuds all day. Sitting in my classroom? Take the damn things out. I don’t care that there’s no music playing.

That level of disrespect is outrageous. I don't think it's a question of taking them out, there are places they don't belong at all!
I have another one. Bras and bathing suit tops that have those foam pads that come out. With bras it’s mostly nursing bras I think. Every damn time I nurse in it or wash it those pads move around, come half out, whatever. So annoying! But I can’t take them out because then you can see my nipples through my shirt.
A few months ago we had a family party and all of a sudden my aunt tells me I dropped something. It was the fucking pad from my bra. So embarrassing!

Going off the IL theme, when people call their ILs Mr./Mrs. Last name. Why do you need to be so formal with family?? But actually just calling anyone Mr/Mrs seems weird to me, we're all adults.

Bathing suits too. They’re always moving around.
i was really annoyed to find that Athleta has them in their sports bras. WHY??? Something that is already tight to get on and then you add in something that moves around and serves no purpose. Make the bra thick enough to mask nipples as much as possible and call it a day!

My family calls my grandfathers SO Ms. Susie and her family calls my grandfather Mr. Bill. There are other family friends I call Ms or Mr, I guess old habits die hard!

Like are there actually people who permanently take them out? My boobs aren’t even that big but I can’t take them out. My nipples would look ridiculous! Just sew that shit in there!

I get in trouble with people because I won't answer the phone when I'm in public.
They ask why I didn't pick up and I'll say I was at the grocery store or wherever and they do not think that is a valid reason and get salty with me.
It's bad enough talking on the phone in private. I'm not doing it in public!

I don't understand it either, especially when you are dealing with garments that are going to be getting wet and/or washed frequently which means the pads get misplaced and you have to fix them again.
On the phone call front: my mother will often call me then say "someone wants to talk to you" and it's my 2nd grade teacher or some lady she took a class with 40 years ago and I am left to have an awkward conversation with a stranger and it's SO ANNOYING, MOM.
