I hate having to watch videos for news clips. I would rather read my news, than watch or have to listen to it. I get frustrated with my news apps that only do some stories in videos.

We just aren't bitchy enough... :/
I'll try though.... I hate being offered help and doted on/mothered by women at work. If I need help I will ask. Don't offer- I'm not an invalid or an idiot.

I agree with this and I get irrationally irritated when I click on a link thinking it will be an article and then it's a video. I will almost never watch it at that point and exit the screen in disgust!
I don't really care when people who don't have kids complain to me about how tired they are or compare taking care of their dogs to how hard it is to take care of kids. Everything is about perspective. Maybe they are tired and maybe their dog is a PITA. I know I've been crying a lot lately about DS being difficult, but I also remember crying the first week we adopted my dog because he was so unmanageable and needed so much training. DS being difficult doesn't negate other difficult situations. Maybe I'm just a wimp though and cry about everything!

babyzebra +1 If we can't complain or feel bad because someone has its worse, we can literally never complain or feel bad. Sucky stuff sucks even when others have suckier stuff.
babyzebra as a person without kids (yet) I am with you. I think it shouldn't be a 'who has it worse' war.
I get that parenthood is no walk in the park, but people without children also have real life stressors and are allowed to voice that they are tired, cranky, etc.
This was particularly annoying to me when we were going through IF & would be dismissed by friends with kids because "we had NO idea!" Well you have no idea that we just stayed up all night crying because we were told we had 1% chance of conceiving on our own. Sorry your toddler has decided to get up three times?
I hate Teslas. I think they are pretentious, silly status symbols. And Elon Musk is the worst.
Totally out of touch because I had no idea who/what this was! I imagined some sort of cologne and couldn't figure out what it had to do with cars.
Haha. The asshole founder of Tesla. He pitches fits, like canceling the car order of a blogger who have a Tesla event a poor review. He's famous for major entitlement and treating his employees like non- humans. He told one employee he'd be fired if he didn't come into work while his wife was in labor.

Ew. He sounds like a douche.
or a successful silicon valley ceo - a la Steve Jobs.....I hate that this is acceptable here.
I hate thank you cards. LOATHE THEM. I know you know I love you & that I am so thankful for the present you got us.
And I know that you know that I know that you love me and are thankful for the present I got you.
Let's make a deal as friends not to write them. Ever.
For my first DD my moms golf friends ( I played with them a lot) threw me a brunch/shower and before opening gifts the hostess announced that I was not to write thank you notes, as just saying thank you at the shower was enough. And since babe was already here I had enough to do. It was the best gift ever. I will do the same if I ever throw another shower!

Help me out here. You hate that people think that he/his actions/his treatment of other people is questionable? Or you hate that his behavior is widely accepted in our society simply because he's the CEO of a large company?

Leaders should treat people well.
ETA: I re-read my post and realized why you had the question! I'm not crazy! I don't believe society should hand out free passes on poor behavior due to wealth or status.

Ok, whew!! I read it both ways and wasn't sure which way I should take it.
I'll also admit that I was mildly excited that we may have had our first real UO!!
I would like people to stop commenting on my body, compliment or not, full stop. I am sure I've been guilty of this with pregnant women, but it has gotten to the point where I feel like an object. I feel like I can't have a simple conversation anymore without having to hand out fake smiles and thanks while people look me over. I know that is ungrateful, people are trying to be nice. But I kind of want to roll myself into a giant blanket for the next 6 weeks.

Forget making a deal as friends, let's get together as a society and do this. They are the biggest waste of time in the world. Or how about this... If I physically open the gift in front of you and thank you for it, I don't need to write a note. That seems like a reasonable compromise, no?

Preach! I'd like to add that I would like people to ask me about ANYTHING else except how I feel and how I'm holding up? I am not a walking ute.

I want a Tesla, but that's only because they are coming out with a new line that's reasonably priced at about $30k. My H is seriously considering getting a Chevy Volt because his work has electric hook-ups. With a $10k tax rebate and the prospect of never having to buy gas it's pretty tempting. He says all the company big-shots have Teslas plugged in in the garage.

Flair Underwood I'm sorry but I'm dying at "I am not a walking ute"
But I agree with the body "compliments." I'm sure once we see her on Monday and find out that she's growing just fine it won't bother me so much, but people will. not. stop telling me how "tiny" my belly is.
Okay I will fight allllll the anti-thank you note people. Suit up.
Right there with you! I appreciate thank you notes. Yes they can be a pain to write, but I feel like it is definitely worth it to acknowledge someone that spent time and money buying you something.

Yes! Again, I feel like a jerk because people are trying to be nice. But let's talk about work, or the weather, or verizon vs. at&t.
I think part of it is that I work in a school, so it is just more people around than the average workplace. When I walk down the hall, the kids are all staring at my stomach like it is an alien. Then my coworkers can't talk to me without glancing down every few seconds. I can see you eyeing the bump people!
