Here are the things I am sick of:

People who photograph their children constantly, even when everyone's attention should be elsewhere: "Uncle Bobby is opening presents, let's capture Mary's reaction on film." "Its grandpa's birthday. Let's capture Mary's reaction to him blowing out the cake."

90% of the time when I fly it's to a business meeting. I don't dress for the plane ride. I dress for the meeting. Heels are called for. How many times have you been in a water landing?

Jesus! Lighten up, Lulu! I think the first PP is hysterical. So you and your heels can fly elsewhere, as you're not wanted on this flight.

People spending money just because they can.

People putting sports ahead of family time, church and school work.

The constant pressure to consume alcohol at every social occasion.

People who treat pets like children. Can't go out after work because they need to get the dogs from "doggie daycare," and insist on including said pets in all photo ops and family socializing. Animals are not people, people!

I haven't had a pet in a long time, and I don't like it when people call themselves "mommy" to a dog, but I respect people who understand they have a responsibility to spend time with their dog and I think pets can be an important part of the family.

Threads that are about "things" we hate that immediately devolve into "people" you hate.

The proliferation of highly neurotic, impossibly small or large purebred dogs.

Gum-snapping, blue tooth wearing mail carriers who insist on handing me huge piles of catalog mail as I am standing on the sidewalk about to enter the walkway to my house.

The utterance of the phrase: "you go girl" by any person of any sex. Please stop. Just please stop.

That's all for now. Thank you for playing along at home.

The "you go girl" drives me nuts. My boss says it at least 15 times a day. I cringe every time she says it!

-People who talk about food like they are chefs when they are not chefs

-People who think that liking bands like Radiohead and Modest Mouse make you indie and cool

-Anyone who uses the phrase "rad" or talks about things that are "their jam."

-Those oxford lace up flat shoes that look like something my grandfather would wear.

How do you know that people don't genuinely like those bands? And what bands do you like if you are actually cool?

Hearing that Marilyn Monroe was supposedly a Size 12.

you're thin, we get it.

Women who wear high heels when they go out and then spend the entire night complaining that their feet hurt, and being pains in the ass if they can't find a seat at a crowded bar. Wear comfy shoes, stay home or shut the F up.

People who have great lives but complain all the time (especially about "why DC sucks") and then wonder why they have no friends who want to hang out with them.

People who complain about their weight, but don't eat properly or make time for exercise, and make snide comments about those of us who exercise (despite a busy schedule) and don't have weight issues.

Yeah, I don't like complainers. I do like yoga, though. And the vanity sizing thing is annoying - I hate that I can't order clothes online with any confidence. And I hate that Nike did the down-sizing/up-sizing thing so now I'm too big for a S sports bra but too small for a M.

Hearing that Ginger Rogers "danced backward and in high heels." No, she danced the steps that constitute the woman's part of the dance. This does not mean she danced backward. Someone who claims she danced backward is an ignoramus about dance. And she danced in dancing shoes. Dancing in flats would have been extremely uncomfortable.

Very random thing to be sick of. do you hear this a lot?

What's with the yoga bashing??

[Anonymous]

I'm one who yoga was yoga bashing. I've tried it at least 10 times at 3 different studios and different styles of yoga. It's not the actual yoga I hate its the hushed tones, the "breathe into the light, breath out peace," namaste BS. I get that yoga provides an important comonent of fitness, but please spare me all the pseudo-spiritual, new agey, hippy-dippiness. I also get annoyed by the celebs and other people who say all they do is yoga and it not only keeps them fit but also "centered and balanced."

Please give me some muscle screaming boot camp, Crossfit or an endorphin pumping run over yoga any day, in spite of the fact that I know yoga would be a good addition to this regular exercise. What can I say, I'm an endorphin junkie.

-people that say "Holla" (note, slang for holler. Not a typo of hola'.)
-people that say "you go girlfriend."
-grown men that continue to pop their collars. You're in your 30's. Time to get past the frat boy stage.

People who self depreciate.

Do you mean self-deprecate? Because we are all depreciating. It's hard to imagine otherwise.

The human body = the ultimate depriciating asset.

But yoga is a spiritual practice. I don't understand why you think that's BS? If you don't like it you don't have to go. If it doesn't work for you, that's fine, but that doesn't mean it's BS. Yoga does keep people centered and balanced.
