Would you believe Calvin peeing on a pickup truck with testicles?
Just to make a minor point about the cell phone thing, it used to be a lot easier to get along without a cell phone, due to the prevalence of public pay phones. Try finding a public pay phone these days; it’s a lot harder than it used to be. Because, y’know, everybody has a cell phone. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you “can’t live without one.” But back when nobody had one, it was a lot easier to find other ways to make phone calls from public places. (And, I would also add, it was a lot easier to get people to stop and help you as a stranded motorist. People these days don’t stop because they just assume you have a phone.)
Two words: Daniel Craig.
Perhaps he’s just looking for someone worth being monogamous for.
Adults wearing a shirt or jacket that prominently displays a cartoon character. Minus 10 if it’s a Disney character. Minus another 10 if it’s an expensive, leather-trimmed jacket.
30 years ago a grown woman wearing a Minnie Mouse hoodie would have been assumed to be mentally retarded.
Even Daffy Duck? Daffy Duck would be cool.
If anyone deserves a cockpunch, it’s that guy.
It’s a Jeep Thing…You Wouldn’t Understand people are right up there with the Hemi shit and Chevy Tough stuff and Calvin Pissing on Ford/Chevy/Whatever.
The Cult of Car stuff is, and you can quote me on this, RETARDED.
The ultimate in the TARD faction are the people who have the **Dale Earnhardt #3 **( or 8, I can’t be bothered to remember.) decal, paint job, flag or tattoo. He was a race car driver, you MORON, not GOD or any variation thereof.
I have a Trogdor polo shirt. I might be retarded.
Adult men who wear tank tops in a public place that is not a (i) beach, (ii) pool, (iii) gym, or (iv) waterpark. If I see you in a bar, or at the mall, or just about any other public location and you’re in a tank top, you will be instantly pegged as a redneck hick lowlife dirtbag.
Well I’m going to have to rescind my annoyance, and you can consider ignorance fought, then! I just assumed they would be shipping earbuds that matched and that people were willfully buying white ones!
Maybe some people do, but I don’t consider him to be a sport.
People who insist on going on and on about their usually very average children.
People who exaggerate their local accent,drive dangerously amongst other things because they think it makes them look tough.
People who are proud of the fact that they have never read a book.
Burninated!!
Actually, this is why I had kids. My four-year-old looks great in his Homsar shirt.
Another pet peeve: Grown women who collect dolls. Yes, I’m lookin’ at you, Mom.
I kept forgetting to respond to this - sorry it took so long. It’s a very long story, but the simplest way to put it is that half my family was Christian and the other half was Jewish when I married my husband. I guess technically we’re Methodist, but my sister and I were raised in both faiths.
Strangely enough, a couple of family members have converted to Catholicism and my sister married a man who was raised Greek Orthodox and Jewish.
Forgive me if I am being rude, but how does that work? I can understand children getting presents on Hannukah and Christmas, hunting for Easter eggs and dressing up for Purim, but you either believe Jesus was the Messiah or you don’t. 
I can’t speak for overlyverbose (and thanks for getting back to me, by the way!) but I suspect it goes something along the lines of, “Mommy believes this, and Daddy believes this,” when they’re a bit older, and just taking them to a church and a synagogue when they’re younger.
One of the few funny bits she had.
True dat.
People who refer to their pets as their babies/children. Also said pet owners who anthropomorphize them to gag inducing degrees. One of my best friends does this with his dog, an it’s everything in my power to try and just ignore it the best I can. He says things like, “I think she’s mad at me because I was out too late,” kinda bullshit. Dood, it’s a fucking dog. They don’t harbor grudges, or have complex self-aware feelings like humans do.
Dressing your pet in clothes is right out.
Having more that 2 animals. For some reason, it just screams “I have people issues, and the blind, idiot love of animals are all I can connect to.”
That said, don’t get me wrong. I love animals as much as much as the next guy, and am very friendly with them and want nothing but for them to be well taken care of and respected. But there’s this strange phenomenon that’s seems to be taking place in this modern era, where pets are being used as some sort of substitute or proxy for human interaction/affection. I think that’s pathetically sad. Of course, they bring happiness and joy and companionship, but to blur the line between that and the more complex counterparts you get from humans, is to have something broken in your head.
I say this as a former dog, bird(s), guinea pig, and fish owner. Not all at the same time though.
This goes the same for cat owners, which seems to be even more guiltily egregious of this.
