NP here.
The school tested my kid, any IQ over 130 or top 2% is gifted and entitled to gifted programs. Sorry you are jealous.

You are bragging in this area about a kid with a 130 IQ? Not impressive. The norm in many areas.

If I plan something (party, event, outing) and someone texts or emails RIGHT before or, even worse, during to bail, I never respond. I'm not assuaging you being an inconsiderate pain in the ass.

Unfortunately, we have no plungers at work in the bathrooms, so sometimes I'll just go and leave it unflushed. My shoes are too nice to risk toilet & poop water getting all over me when it inevitability clogs and overflows.

I'm my office's phantom pooper.

You are bat shit crazy lady.

OMG, I hate you! I have one of those at work and it makes me lose my shit! EW. Poop at home!!!!!!

Or flush in waves as you go

Only once did a friend have a good reason and it was a true emergency.

If there's no fine associated with it, it's not a real law or real thing.

Hahaha this IS an asshole move, but I think you're hilarious! I shop at the military commissary and have NEVER seen any cars in the gold star spot which is closest to the doors... but I feel like that would be even more looked down upon in that location.

Aren't you precious. No one told you to get pregnant. Get over yourself.

Seriously. I have five kids. Parking spaces for pregnant women didn't exist when I had my kids. Unless I had some kind of pregnancy related disability, I would never have used one. You're pregnant. Just like millions of other women. You don't need a special parking place. Walking is good for you. If you have a disability related to your pregnancy you can get a temporary handicap tag. Otherwise, you are fine to walk.

+1 million!!

I find them ridiculous. I never used them during my pregnancies. I always thought they would be more useful with the newborn, stroller and la or recovery.

I did park in one at Trader Joe's recently. That underground parking is a nightmare.

Lmao, I work at a predominately male company and the six spaces reserved for expectant mothers sit empty right at the front of the lot. Waste of space. 'Fuck you' poster, I didn't realize being preggo rendered you unable to walk.

No offense but you're not a special snowflake. There are were/are many 34 week pregnant mothers of 2, 3, 4 + kids out in the world.

Show me where I said that?
Looks like you aren't gifted.

Have an incredibly OCD neighbor who wants our shrubs to be the same, for them to be pruned the same, and for our mulch to match.

I'm saving the long border on my property that abuts his for last re: weeding and mulching. And I bought three butterfly bushes to add to it, which are decidedly not the geometric shapes he desires.

A little passive-aggressive springtime pleasure....

I never do it. I assume it is responsibility of the workers and this is what keeps them employed.

This is true. I was a cashier at a chain grocery store and they hire people specifically to:

- gather carts and put them where they go
- gather food items randomly in aisles and put them in the correct aisle they should be in

I just make sure the shopping cart isn't going to roll and bang a car, but leave it.

That is exactly what I assume! People are using cover up gifted for their parenting failures.

Thank you so much for explaining this. I feel so much better now. I always was leaving my carts with that assumption, but never thought it would hurt anyone.
