No no no. They say "my kid got at 35 ACT; should I have him retake". Then after 8 pages you learn the kid got time and a half or double time due to ADHD but she didn't disclose that in the opening. |

The "check your privilege" poster(s)
I picture a 20 something boy, sitting on the couch in his parents' basement. eating beef jerky and drinking Dr Pepper. He usually hangs out on Fairfax Underground but pops over to DCUM for a little shit stirring on occasion. |
| The "not giving your husband sex? that means your marriage is open!" poster. I picture an average looking white male, mousy hair, medium build/slightly paunchy, not too tall or too short... the kind no one ever looks at or thinks about twice. I bet he appears as a nice guy to those around him, but inside he is seething with rage at his mediocrity and takes it out on everyone in his life. |
| The judgey ones that think everyone with a tattoo or who had sex before marriage is trashy. I wonder who these awful people are in real life. |
Ugh, and he's the type to wear socks with sandals and speedos. |
| The "thanks for playing" poster is definitely pudgy |
YMMV. |
Oh, yes. And they worry whether their child's GPA drop down to a 4.7 will hurt their kid's chance of getting into a "good" school. These posters look nondescript and wear lots of scratchy wool garments, which makes them a bit peevish. |
Forgot to mention: their kid is in 9th grade. |
| There are definitely a lot of whiny male posters on here who I picture as short, nerdy and rat-faced. |
| I picture a lot of overweight women blaming their weight on hormones, their job, and lack of spousal help while sitting on the couch eating a box of Oreos saying, “it’s not my fault”. |
| The airplane troll: chubby, late forties, perfectly manicured nails, sitting in two story great room in great falls seething that no one wants to buy her circa 1993 mega McMansion |

The ones who ask just the MOST granular and ridiculous questions about parenting.
"Can 19 month old eat chopped kale?" YOU REALLY couldn't feel your way through this one? "Best toy for 21 month old on a 2 hour airplane flight?" "Recommend your preschooler's lunchbox." It's a friggin lunchbox!!! I imagine them all wearing Crocs, raggedy jeans from 2006 that are saggy in the butt, v-neck baggy tshirts and crossbody strap backpacks. |
| The men and women who brag about the frequency of sex with their spouses. I just picture aging, skeevy people wearing clothes from the juniors department. |
| There is this middle aged dude at our Y in Bethesda who lives in a McMansion but who taps on the Y’s ‘free public computer’ at night. He must be some kind of internet troll. He’s hideous - he has mouse brown fluffy hair that doesn’t move ever and he awkwardly dog paddles and flails in the pool keeping his hair out of the water. He is always seethingly angry about many things, no matter how mundane. Ew. |
