jodielyn10 the best part is, I know she likes at least 2 of the wines I bought because she was drinking them at her house when we visited in August. So wtf? She's just like that. She sat there the whole time drinking her white Zin saying "oh this is so good". I wanted to stab her with the corkscrew.
that is redic. you went out of your way to buy something she likes (and I presume you don't really) and she apparently went out of her way to be as big a twatwaffle as she could muster.
Microwaving your food when someone invites you over for supper, and does everything she can to serve it quickly. My FIL does this every single time he comes over for supper.
I hate when people who aren't visiting me park in front of my house. My neighbor has 6 cars and they park two of them in front of my house, and they constantly have visitors who park in front of my house too. We talked to them about it and now it's down to one. It drives me nuts!
When the cashier at the grocery store mixes all my food up in my bags. I put my stuff on the conveyor belt in order I want it bagged: meat/dairy/cold stuff, boxed/dry goods, and produce. I don't want my apples in with the cereal and salasa!!
Inconsiderate guests. Example: turning your nose up to every single bottle of wine that I have (I stocked three different whites and I don't drink white unless someone gave me a bottle, & a few different reds), and then showing up at my house with your wine of choice so you "can also relax and have a glass of wine tonight". Go ahead, enjoy that White Zin (yes, white Zin) you effing TW. Not that I'm speaking from experience.
Oh I HATE THAT SHIT!!!! When you are a guest and someone offers you a drink you fucking take it. I hate sweet wine, but if I'm at someone's house and they offer me wine, if it's a Moscato or Riesling I smile, say thank you and drink it. Then if they ask if I want a top off I'll say "no thanks I better switch to water". That's just so rude.
ETA: I got a little bit stabby there...I just hate ungraciousness.
Preach!! My SIL (who really is great and not at all mean spirited usually) spent all weekend making passive comments about the choices of food that I had to offer her kid. Literally, I spent a fortune buying all organic local produce and meat to make dinner, and the first comment she made was that the BBQ sauce had high fructose corn syrup in it ... I almost lost it. I've never even seen her cook when we have visited her - it's always take out. And her fridge is stocked with tons of prepackaged junk (because if there's no high fructose corn syrup, it must be good ...). I know she didn't mean to be a jerk, but I would never say that at someone else's house. You suck it up for a day and deal with the fact that your kid might eat one thing he doesn't normally eat.
Also she made a comment about how no ones BM supply dries up, that it's lack of trying. I almost lost it on her. My supply is almost gone even with seeing specialists and trying everything they suggested. Your kid is two months and I had a shit ton of milk then too.
When people post pics of themselves working out or at the gym. Who cares?!
I have a friend that posts videos of himself working out
...no. one. cares.
Yes! I have a mom friend who lost about 20 pounds recently and has been posting "transformation" pictures every freaking day. It's offically just bragging now. And it's obnoxious.

Yesss! And every bagged needs to learn meat gets bagged separately!

heatherbee I'm sorry she was such a TW. Does she know about your struggles with BFing or is she just saying that out of the blue? Either way, it was thoughtless and hurtful. You've fought hard to BF and no one should be making those comments to you. ((Hugs))

She knows, we talked about it 2 weeks ago when I visited her. The worst part was she was standing there holding the freaking 14 ounces of milk she had pumped and was saying how it was basically just me being lazy that I didn't make enough milk. I try to remind myself she struggled a lot with her first kid and BFing, and it went better for me last time, so I'm glad it's going well for her this time. But her comment really upset me - to the point that I'm starting to dread our week long trip with them coming up in two weeks. Sorry to vent so much - I've been keeping it in all week because I'm trying to look past it, but it was so many comments and I want to cry. There's a lot of areas where I differ in how she parents, but I shut my mouth because it's not my place to judge - why can't others do the same ?! Lol

Omg yessss. I put my food up very intentionally how it should be bagged and somehow it all gets jumbled. The last time I went to the store the cashier put a pack of hot dog buns in the bag then put my bananas on top of that and OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING. I'd rather do it myself tbh

Ya that was super hurtful of her and she really should think about shit before she speaks! I am mad for you! Lol

I get annoyed when my mom does her thing where she basically says the way she did things was better. Like with child rearing. Or rolls her eyes at "new" information on feeding baby or putting them to sleep or anything! Also, I feel like she keeps mentioning how I need to start weening A from the boob. I will stop bfing when I damn well choose!!!

My H knows better than to attempt to put the groceries on the belt and just to leave it up to me because I have a system
Oh it really annoys me when someone posts a picture of their food and their description is "organic, grass-fed, hand massaged beef with an avocado cilantro lime sauce made from avocados from my backyard and a roasted arugula salad with a homemade organic Italian dressing."
Get over yourself people. Trying to make yourself feel better about what you eat by telling everyone it's organic and homemade. Gag me.

This is why I shop at Stop & Shop. They have little hand held devices that you scan your items as you shop. So as you pick up your items, you scan them and then bag them as you shop. It helps you keep track of how much you are spending, plus it allows me to bag all my stuff as I want. Then you just go to a self-checkout, scan the barcode at the top of the register and your whole cart of items scanned pops up. No unloading of goods. Then you just pay and leave
Humblebragging or asking questions you know the answer to just for attention. Fucking infuriating.
I have a coworker who will literally go to every person in our section asking them the same question. It makes me so angry. I don't understand the motivation. Attention? Trying to cherry-pick the answer she wants? Idk.
I hate people who cut their nails in public. That belongs in the bathroom only.
Oh yes!!!! Why come ask me if you do not "trust" my answer??? There was a person like this in one of the labs I worked in. It drove us nuts. One day I finally had a break down. I told the person to never ask me a question again since they were just going to ask 4 other people. It saved me so much time after that.

Oh that pisses me off! I wonder if she has an explanation as to why my supply of bm dried up 3 weeks after my son was born - and he was exclusively breast fed. There was no "lack of trying" happening with a 3 week old that eats every 1.5 to 2 hours. She needs to STFU.
heatherbee - I don't understand her comments. You said she struggled with BFing the first time. You would think she would understand that things just don't go according to plan sometimes and its not due to lack of trying. She need to STFU especially knowing your own struggles.

Pet peeve- inviting us to a couples shower on this Sunday. It's Wednesday. Um - We have a kid. How does one expect a couple to magically get a sitter with 4 days notice? And it's not like they are not oging to notice we aren't there, there's like a whole 12 people invited, sigh. And will my husband lift a finger to do anything about this - no. I will work my magic as the default who juggles all things and makes all things happen. Eff me. Ok maybe not a pet peeve but a pissed off.

Here's my pet peeve. SIL just called me and asked what we were doing for lunch. It's 10:30 in the morning. I said I hadn't really thought about it yet. She asks if I want to bring the kids over there to play with her kids and have lunch together. Sure... I guess, that's fine. Then she says "when you come over, would you mind if I ran out for like an hour to go to a church meeting?" Bitch, just ask me to come over and watch your kids! Don't ask me all backwards. Shit pisses me off.

My sister did something like that this week aimeefarrahfowler. She asked what I was doing that day and I thought she wanted to hang out with us. Then she asked if I could watch my niece because she wanted to get her hair blown out because she had a date the next day. I was all excited she wanted to hang out with us, then found out we weren't cool enough. The topper was that after I said I would watch my niece she says well maybe I'll just ask mom and dad so I don't have to drive all the way out there. Grrrrr
At aimeefarrahfowler and somethingcleverer my sister would pull that shit too. Or she would say she has to run the grocery store then she'll text while at the grocery store and sat she'll be back later bc she has another errand to run. She is so unbelievably rude about other people's time. Shit drives me nuts. Says she'll be back at 9 and then rolls in at 11:30. As you can see this is a big pet peeve of mine. Also, yesterday she has my niece's birthday party at my moms house (pool party). All the girls were annoying (another story) and my mom was saying something to them. My sister says to me "too many people are yelling at them. Mom just needs to butt out." OMG you're having the party at her house. She can say whatever the F she wants!" My sister is such a pain in the ass.

Ok I have one. Don't be all preachy and in my face about your right to carry, and that you will shoot anyone who dares walk in your house uninvited. And that you are the queen of gun control and gun safety. Then when I stop by with my 3 year old announced and your mobile one year old is around you have to practically knock me over when I take her to the bathroom because you have a "loaded gun somewhere on the floor over there". Eff that. I will not be in your house again with that lack of care, get your act together, and don't preach what you certainly don't practice.
