Oh please, we're not that hard. Just give us chocolate and listen to us bitch about stuff every once in awhile and we're good.

I so agree (with Duchess, #5). I don't understand the fixation with vampires or zombies. My own brother is a zombie fanatic, lol. He walks like one, too. haha

Ladies, try watching some of the smoking hot guys on the HBO show True Blood for awhile and then maybe you'll understand the obsession. Seriously, the new werewolf on there lately is hubba, hubba.

I don't really get zombies either, but the movie Zombieland was hilarious, and the movies 28 Days Later, etc, were pretty good for newer zombie movies.

1) People that don't like chocolate!
2) Spiders... just... why?
3) Why my smartphone is so stupid.
4) Fanfiction slash... again.. just.. why?
5) How they get the ships in those bottles!

I really don't understand people's reactions to certain foods. Like today, I put chicken hearts in the soup. Hearts don't bother me; they're just a chunk of muscle. My mother accidentally got one. I removed from her bowl immediately--I know she doesn't like them--but her reaction of disgust was so strong and visceral, well, I was afraid for a second that she might be sick. But then she went ahead and enjoyed the rest of the soup.

I understand not liking something. I dislike raw tomatoes, but I don't freak out or feel disgusted if I get one in my salad. I just pick it out or eat it anyway, whatever. But if I sat, "I think insects are an underutilized ethical protein source," or "Mmm, sweetbreads," the reactions are quite strong (and generally negative.)

Can anyone explain? I truly don't understand.

The ships collapse, then spring back up once inside.

... rules. Not that i disobey them. I respect them. But i wonder why we have them? People would behave even without them. Maybe that's naive of me. I don't know. It is possible it is naive. But then again maybe it is not naive of me. Maybe we all would be good. It is worth giving a try in any event. It would save money as well. No need for cops or jails and whatnot. Large expense there! Not to say I don't respect what they do. They do a great job. Thank you to them. But if their services aren't needed then maybe they could be dispensed with ...

How many people get caught drinking and driving despite it being both illegal and a terrible idea?

Sometimes people behave. Sometimes I say "the baby's sleeping," and the boys voluntarily stop making noise. And sometimes I have to say, "No, you are not allowed to chew on mommy's cell phone/stand on the dishwasher/open the oven/etc., and they don't understand why, but them's the rules.

7. People who rush by, only to be caught by the red light you were slowing for in the first place.
8. People not getting Sarcasm. Sheez.

Lavern08 · Jun 22, 2012

1. People who pick their nose in traffic.

Don't they know it's gross and other people can see them?

Or, maybe they just don't care?

(Sometimes, I just wanna pull up beside them and offer them a tissue)

And these are the same people who walk in my office and shake my hand - Yuck, Yuck YUCK!

Now explain the chicken hearts!

Solanova · Jun 22, 2012

Well you see, when a mommy chicken loves a daddy chicken.... There are chickens! And that is how soup is made!~ \o/

Caitlin Black · Jun 22, 2012

When I read the words "chicken hearts", I immediately imagined those little candy Valentine hearts, but made of chicken.

I was thinking, "What's so wrong with them?"

9. People who stop in the middle of narrow aisles of stores to talk, blocking any chance of real customers to get around them
10. People who don't dress for their proper weight. If you're over 500 lbs, SAY NO TO SPANDEX!

In the middle of the night, when I can barely see what is around me, and I come across the horror which is The Rocking Horse - which I always imagine to be rocking to and fro ever so slightly, even though I know nobody has touched it - the appeal isn't there. At all. And if there is a slight breeze, the stirrups seem to move, which is really, really freaky.
