Me: "Honey, do we have any plans for this weekend?"
Wife: "We talked about this, it's Aunt Edna's 80th birthday so we're going over Sunday her surprise party"
Me: "WTF? This is the first I'm hearing of this. I wanted to take the kids fishing that day"
Wife: *Rolls eyes* "Yes we talked about it a week ago. You don't remember anything".
Later that day
Me: "Honey don't forget I'm flying out Tuesday for work"
Wife: "WHAT!? You're going to be out of town this week!?"
Me: "Yes, I have to go to Chicago for a conference for 2 days. I booked this 3 months ago, I specifically remember talking about it with you on my drive home that day, because I passed the hot dog place at the same time and it made me think of Chicago style hot dogs as we talked about it."
Wife: "We did NOT talk about it, I would have remembered something like that, you never told me"

Wow. I mean, seriously, wow. Is your wife just completely oblivious to the world around her? Or does she just think she's so special that the sun revolves around her and no one else matters? I guess I'm kind of rooting for option one, because I hate people that fall under option two.had soccer last night. hot, hot and humid. no subs. middle of the 4th quarter (no halves) one of the kids threw up and came wobbling to the sideline. i benched her right away got her a Gatorade and some ice and told her to get in the shade. then post-game walked over to talk to her mom.. who happened to be sitting next to my wife... to let her know what happened, etc. mid explanation, my wife, who is sitting there listening to me, says loudly "well, we have a huge problem..... it's the fence guy.... i need you to help make a decision or we could really be screwed."
double take, triple take... what?
i give her a confused and angry look and say "...........are you serious right now? i'm telling this girl's mom that she threw up mid-game.. that her (black) daughter looked pale, said she was dizzy and not feeling well and you interrupted me to tell me we have a problem with the fence guy????? that can't wait 3 minutes????? now you tell me??"
wife:(undaunted) but i need your opinion before he shows up tomorrow morning
me: (attempting to maintain composure) i'm not talking about that right now. (girl) could need to see a doctor here. i'm trying to tell her mom what happened and what i saw so she can make a decision on something more important than our fence. the fence can wait.

my mother-in-law's habit (and, yes, she passed it down to her daughter) of interrupting conversations with things that absolutely don't need to be said.. or things that don't need to be talked about right now.
you can be engaged in a 1:1 conversation with, for example, a cop about an accident you just witnessed and this lunatic will walk up, get your attention with a "hey" and then commence to tell you about her lawnmower that isn't working and how she needs your help taking it to the shop. completely ignoring the fact that you're trying to talk to someone else, about something totally unrelated to what she just said, that's actually important.
i'm not 100% convinced it's malicious or manipulative... it always feels more that she's just completely oblivious. like she has such narcissistic tunnel vision that she actually physically cannot see anyone other than the target of her monologue.

my mother in law does this as well. she is both oblivious and egocentric. luckily my wife does not.on a different level, my mother has a habit of interrupting and prolonging her thoughts to "hold the floor." she subconsciously likes to dominate a conversation.

A FL tradition evidently. Imagine someone just moving a bit to the left or right in their lane when one of these jackholes is coming through. Hope it was worth it.

just saw this. I have posted here in the past about my FIL. He isn't a bad guy, but has low self-esteem and is one of the most selfish, self-obsessed people I have ever met in my life.my mother-in-law's habit (and, yes, she passed it down to her daughter) of interrupting conversations with things that absolutely don't need to be said.. or things that don't need to be talked about right now.

He dominates conversations by continuing to raise his voice to talk over you and/or interrupt you. And when you think he is finally done talking and try to say whatever you're going to say, he has this crazy ability to sense when you are opening your mouth to speak ...and then he starts talking again. Seemingly oblivious for the need to hear or care what anyone else has to say.

Might catch some flak for this one, but I hate seeing vacation pictures with people in them. I like photography in general and if I'm looking at your pictures of the Eiffel Tower, I want to see the Eiffel Tower, not your goofy, smiling ### standing in front of it blocking the view of it. I already know you were there because you're the one taking the picture! Even worse when they back up to try for a wide angle shot in a busy thoroughfare and expect nobody to walk in front of the camera while they take pictures of every combination of people in their party possible.
I love my in-laws, but they are the worst at this. "OK, now lets get one of Scoreman and Mrs. Scoresman!" "OK next let's get one of just Scoresman and Scoresman's nephew!" Over and over.

Fixed for me. I haven't been on a legit vacation since 2006 (Maui honeymoon). My Facebook feed is littered with people in Maui, Tahoe, Mexico, Europe, you name it.
I've been on guys Vegas trips but I don't really count those. I'm talkin about relaxing/sightseeing/etc. It gets tiresome and depressing. :(

Yep. Share the road doesn't mean own the road. I hate large groups of cyclists that feel entitled to just take up the whole lane and ride 3-4 wide. Look we get it, you are training for the tour de france senior edition, but come on already.:
i was being sarcastic. many motorcyclist and cyclists want drivers to share the road, but play both sides of the fence.
I also really hate the motorcyclists that think we want to listen to their stupid music or hear their exhaust for two minutes after they have driven past. I dont want to hear that loud pipes save lives BS excuse for it either. How would you like it if I ran my leaf blower right outside your bedroom window and woke you up?

I go to my dermatologist quarterly for one thing and one thing only: an injection I am not allowed to give myself. My pharmacy screwed up my prescription ship date so I had to reschedule my appointment. They suggested I can still come in at the scheduled time if I want to see the doctor still and then schedule another appointment for the injection. WTF? Obvious money grab? Turrible all around.

Now, I hate looking at other people's vacation pictures no matter what. But, if I am forced, this doesn't bother me personally. The Eifel Tower? I've seen a million pictures, so I am going to wager some amateur isn't going to capture it in a new and exciting way. I don't need to see their amateur pictures of things I've already seen a million times.Scoresman said:

Also along the lines of paper dispensory, when you need a napkin and the Einstein who's job it is to fill the napkin holder felt like he should cramjam three time as many napkins into the dispenser as it's made for. So when you go to take one out it's vice like grip on the napkins cause you to get only a little shred.

I would like to see one of these combined with what I call Facebook Philosophies - you know the ones - usually the single or divorced people you know writing out vague comments about men and how the woman is a treasure.....blah...blah...blah.
Something like this:

Especially guys that do this. Who the hell wants to see some guy's hairy feet? Have an acquaintance that retired, bought a lake house and boat in the last couple of years - that does this all the time. I'm going to have to block his posts.

Plenty of stop signs or stop lights around here where two cars can easily fit side by side even though there are no markings clearly showing if it is two or one. The only time two cars cant fit is when some jackhole just goes right smack in the middle. So now no cars can turn right while said jackhole is waiting to turn left or go straight.
The city is dumb for not making it two clearly marked lanes and the driver is dumb for having to inexplicably be 8 feet from the center line.

No, great posting. Can we start a petition to make it legal to throat punch these drivers?

Leaving the Borgata parking lot, there are 2 lanes going down the ramp. Saturday night, they had some concert and we happened to be leaving at the same time. Things backed up in the garage and I shot down the right lane that no one else was using and blasted by them all. I don't understand why people can't just notice their surroundings while driving.

The complete lack of personal responsibility in this world is absurd.
15 year old girl dies from eating a cookie. Tragic accident. Mother blames chips ahoy!.
Claims that the daughter just saw red packaging and assumed it was ok. "NO screaming warnings". Nevermind that it says reese's right on the front and side. Every store now has their own generic brand of stuff. What if they were aldi cookies? Kroger cookies?
What if they were nutter butters? That's a red package.
Nevermind the questions of why didnt the daughter have an epipen with her. Why did she go home first after feeling a tingling in her throat instead of telling the parents at the house she was at?

I can fix you post too. She knows she's having a reaction and "goes right home". Does she not know about calling 911? We have four- and five-year-olds who have figured this out.
