Some things I hate

Everyone always posts things they love or things that make them happy. I want to make a list of things I hate.

1. I hate when people go straight in the right lane. It is for turning. I know legally you are allowed to go straight most of the time but it is common courtesy to not go straight in the right lane. There is always one person at the front of the line going straight which prevents a right turn on red. It bugs.

2. I hate MTV. Why do they have a channel that plays music? Seriously. If you want to listen to music then turn on the radio. I guess I can see turning on MTV if you need some music while cleaning or doing other stuff around the house but to sit on the couch and watch MTV is pretty stupid. If you are going to sit down to watch tv then watch a real show. I hate music videos. They are lame.

3. I hate when you go shopping and buy a new pair of pants or shirt and the sales person ringing you up lifts it up and folds it. Just put it in the bag. I know they do this because they are just folding it up nice so they can put it in the bag for you. I know they are just being nice but I hate it. Some may ask why and you would ONLY understand this if you are an overweight person. It's embarrassing. It's like they hold up your giant pair of pants so everyone behind you can look at them and think to themselves, wow...are there really butts that big? Yes people, they are huge and it is my ass that fits in them. I know this is weird and it is just me but I hate it.

4. I hate when people tell me I have cute kids and then say, "you did good." I don't hate when they tell me I have cute kids. That is fine but I hate when they tell me I did good. Why would you say that? I NEVER know what to say. Um, thanks? I sometimes want to say, yeah we worked really hard during sex so we could make sure the cute sperm made it up there. Me having cute kids has nothing to do with anything I did. It just happened that way. There is not a secret code you put in or a certain position of sex that guarantees cute kids. It is awkward when people say this.

5. I hate that it says "for best results squeeze from the bottom up and flatten as you go up" on the tube of toothpaste. This is stupid. Squeezing from the bottom of the tube does not prevent cavities or make my teeth whiter any more than squeezing from the top or the middle. Stupid. I purposely squeeze the tube in the middle.

There. I feel better.

You just made me cry I was laughing so hard reading those to Kevin. It reminds me of your things you hated about working at the credit union post. You tell 'em. Squeeze from the middle! By the way, I've always thought that was stupid to put on the toothpaste too. AND, almost every time I pull up to turn right behind a person going straight at a red light I say out loud (even if I'm alone in the car), "Ohhhh...you're one of THOSE people, huh?"

Welcome back! This is part of why we love you so much! You are REAL! But, I think you must just be getting started. I'm sure there are a few more things you could come up with. Pretty entertaining. Thanks for a good chuckle, even if it has to come at you suffering through the things you do. Interesting perspectives.

Just have to tell ya, I read this post yesterday, laughed my guts loose, showed a couple gals I work with, laughed until my eyes were full of tears and then just came back to read it again. TOTALLY made my day! I myself do enjoy a little MTV now and again just to see the "grilz" or the "booty shakas" call me nuts.. and going to Old Navy and being rung up by the size zero is always the top of my list.

Thanks for continuing to make me laugh!

You are a crack up!
