Using the internet with ads. It's miserable!

On this note, how targeted ads can be so on point yet so far off. Example: I keep getting an ad on here for a pair of toddler shorts that I bought a month ago. So it's like yes, that IS a good product for me but a) move on and b) I already own it! I should probably be grateful the of stalking isn't totally perfect yet.

Area rugs under dining room tables. The floor is easily swept, spot cleaned etc. Maybe other people don't spill or have kids that spill.

I don't understand upholstered dinning room chairs. We need new chairs and almost everything out there comes upholstered. Do these people not actually eat food? with sauces? with children?

I have chair cushions that attach to the chairs with velcro straps. They go in the washer & dryer and look brand new! IKEA for the win; I've had them 10 years and only had to replace one so far.

Grown ass people who travel in pjs. I’m all for comfort, but let’s have a teeny bit of decorum. (Brought to you by a person who becomes Judgy McJudgerson every time she passes through Security at an airport and who has been on 9 planes in the past 4 weeks and is about to get on her 10th.)

As someone else who has had a lot of work travel in the last month, I also want to add the people who crowd the gate as soon as boarding starts and the people that immediately stand up and block the aisle as soon as the plane lands. Also, the people that cram their carryon, personal item, various shopping bags, and their coat into the overhead bin when space is at a premium.

People always complain about the standing in the aisle when the plane lands thing, but I don't understand the problem - I do this, lol. I know I can't go anywhere but I need to stand up! Not only do I have ADHD and thus have trouble sitting anywhere for an extended time, but I also have long legs so they have typically been scrunched in an uncomfortable position for several hours. I just want to be able to stretch them now that I'm not required to be seated anymore. What is the harm? It's not like I don't wait my turn to actually exit. Blocking the aisle from whom? We all are just waiting to move!

Roundabouts/traffic circles/whatever you want to call them are fairly new here in MN and we are all way too nice to merge or even THINK about pulling out in front of another car.
It doesn't work up here.

we also can't grasp the zipper merge.

There's an artist on Threads who had her embroidery kit idea stolen by Temu. Temu is selling the kits and saying the directions for the kit can be found on the original artist's Etsy shop.

With me so far?

Well people are buying the stolen kits on Temu and then going to Etsy and flooding that poor artist's Etsy shop with bad reviews. It's wild that people don't understand that the two are different.

How is Etsy allowing people to review things they haven’t bought? I don’t get that option at all.

Why so many men wear sandals that are way too big. I don’t understand the appeal. It’s makes your feet look smaller and it’s a tripping hazard. They walk weird in them to keep them on. Why not buy flip flops that actually fit? The man behind me at old navy today had on a new pair of rainbows that were probably 2 sizes too big. Mystifying.

A lot of men misjudge the size of their body parts. (Did I type that out loud?)

I can’t speak for men, but I buy sandals in 1-1.5 sizes larger than street shoes because if I don’t, my toes end up hanging over the front. I have no idea why my toes fit fine in regular shoes but not in sandals, but that’s just how it is. When I’m sitting and not standing/walking and don’t have weight on my toes to spread them out, my sandals look comically large.

Also, at least for my husband, he spent years convinced that he wears a size 14 shoe. His feet are actually size 13. So yeah, maybe “misjudging the size of a body part”….or at least having no clue what size they actually should wear because someone else always took care of buying clothes and shoes for them.

They're buying the PDF for the instructions from the Etsy seller and then leaving a review for the entire kit after that purchase.

It helps. I have bralettes that have them and if I remove them and I am cold you can tell. If I have the pads in you can’t tell. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Aisle-standers always seem to crowd forward. I don't like to have someone crowding me from behind or breathing down my neck when it is my turn to deplane and I'm trying to get my bag from the overhead. I get that it is crowded, but to have people crowding behind you is just annoying. Also, as someone sitting and waiting their turn to deplane, I don't want an aisle-standers ass or crotch at my eye level for 5-10 min LOL. They also tend to bump you in the head as they rush to be the first to get their bags out of the overhead.

I also live in MN and there’s a roundabout in my city that routinely has accidents, at least once a week. It’s a busy area but my goodness people really don’t know how to use them here!

To add to this, some people are rank and their ass is right at face level.

There was a medical emergency on one of the last flights I took and they asked people to remain seated until the person was taken off. Miracle of miracles everyone stayed sitting until it was their turn to deboard and the process seemed to go smoother.

If you have nipples that point out and are “normally” spaced out, maybe this isn’t an issue, but my old lady boobs have nipples that are certainly not in the middle of a bra at most points in the day (or ever). With the removable kind, I can move the pads around to get better coverage!

Okay. That makes sense. I wish they'd just sew them in but if they'd be sewn in wrong for many people, then I see the value.
