#1784352 What really grinds YOUR gears?

Posted by Lambie on 14 July 2014 - 12:31 PM

People who like to say their opinion on other's lives the moment they tell them a little about themselves. 

I'm always afraid to tell people I'm a housewife because of all the comments I usually receive on the subject. "Your significant other must be so horrible! How dare he?" "You're lazy!" "Can't you get a part-time job?" "But you're so smart!" etc etc... then I have to defend myself, as if I need to justify our lifestyle choices to them. As if our finances or my time is their business. :(

I'm okay with them having opinions but I don't understand why people believe it's open season on other's lives. Have some etiquette, sheesh.


Also can't stand waiters/waitresses who are too pushy. The kind that will say "So we'll see you tomorrow, right?" or argue with you on what you want to order/don't want to order.

I understand eating one, I mean, how bad can one be for you? But HANDFULS?! Not only is that theft, you could potentially get sick. I can't remember what they're treated with. But the bottom of the box says wash prior to eating. Of course, customers never see the bottom of the box, just the bottom of the bag, which says nothing about it. :/

 

I was always taught to rinse/clean off any open food you buy. Not only because of chemicals but because of any dirt that could potentially be on it as well. I'm surprised not everyone does that.. :/

Then again I also rinse off anything I put my lips too - like pop cans. Not gonna die from rat urine, no siree.




#1765026 Calling all Jews

Posted by Lambie on 05 June 2014 - 10:01 AM

True, but as we are talking about jews and nazis I supposed we are just talking about the black-white-red swastika and other nazi paraphernalia.

 

I know that (C&P from Wikipedia)

Spoiler
I've seen many in the north of Spain, as well as Triskelions (Hitler and nazis were a bunch of superstitious and that's why they adopted those symbols) and it's such a shame that only a few people know that.

 

I believe the point of the discussion was if it was "acceptable" for Jewish people to be offended at the latter when they know it's not being used in relation to Nazis. (Being offended at the symbol being used in the way to represent Nazis is a little expected for them to be offended, imo. )
