Petty Vents

[Anonymous]

People who refer to their dogs as rescues instead of dogs are irritating. I've had many cats and dogs in my adult life, all of them from animal shelters or stray cats who needed homes. So I'm all about adopting pets. But why the need to always remind everyone your dog is a "rescue" dog?

I just read a review for a self serve dog wash. "This place is amazing. I brought my new rescue and my other rescue and both rescues are nice and clean now! This is a pic of my rescues! "

So braggy

When moms refer to themselves and other moms as “mommas”.

I find these petty, and I roll my eyes at myself for thinking they’re petty, but here we are.

I think it’s cute and I love it. Me and my girls talk like this and don’t have any issues with it.

Since no doubt your "girls" are just your little clique of preschool mommies and not your daughters, this is unsurprising.

Wow. You must be lonely and bitter and not have a group of girls to call as your friends.

NP but I have a group of grown women that are my friends. No girls.

You sound like fun. Are you and your group all lonely bitter and childless? You all sound jealous of me and my girls, and the fact that we all have the most adorbs littles who are going to be best friends for life

Sweetie, I know you're trying to troll us here, but it's not working, you just sound dumb.

People calling their pit bulls "velvet hippos". Disgusting. Your velvet hippo is likely to tear a kid apart. Nope, not cute.

I agree. Total virtue-signaling and I see it constantly. Why not just call it "my dog" or "my cat"?

- QR code menus. Especially when there are separate QR codes for the beverage menu and the food menu

- How restaurants will distribute only one cocktail/alcohol menu at a table and you have multiple people who need to look at it, and then they want to take your drinks order 2 minutes after you sit down when not even 1 person has had the chance to read it yet.

- "Gender reveals" - I know "gender" sounds nicer but it is SEX reveals, people!

All of these. You are the god(dess) of petty vents.

I'm the PP and this may be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me on DCUM! Thank you!

Gender reveals are not appropriate anymore. Gender assigned at birth might not be accurate.

I don’t use the word “girl” to refer to a grown adult woman.

People saying they hate a tv show that is amazing because I said so.

People who don’t want to have interesting conversations about tv, movies, music, art, but instead just want to have their taste validated and congratulated.

Also, people who take everything personally, and get defensive about any criticism, even something as benign as “I don’t like the tv show you like.”

The irony here is that you and your "girls" are not even going to be best friends for more than the next 2-3 years and your kids won't even remember one another's names by middle school. And eventually your "littles" won't be little anymore -- they'll be tweens with acne who will not, under any circumstances, wear coordinating outfits with you. And you will hear a woman refer to her 2 yr old as a "little" and your eyes will start to twitch at how dumb she sounds, and you'll think "oh my god, grow up!" But you'll have no one to say it to because you haven't seen your "girls" since y'all hit 40 and one of you got divorced and the other one doesn't go out since she stopped drinking to address her thyroid issue, and the last one moved back to Indiana to be closer to family now that the kids are school age and there's no time for shopping trips and brunch.

What if the person who parks behind you has some big vehicle as well and they end up a foot from your bumper. How do you get your stuff in? I drive an SUV and never pull through. The backup camera is enough for me.

This and not saying thank you when I hold the door open for you. It's such a small thing, but FFS just acknowledge someone's humanity.

Oh, and not covering mouth when yawning. So gross.

The door thing drives me nuts. I moved to Ashburn a few years ago and people walking ahead of you won't even hold the door for you. I regularly go to the USPS or UPS with a heavy load of packages and people walking in ahead of me won't even hold the door. Men are the worst. I am the birch who will thank you loudly for not holding the door for me. It is so uncivilized and low. People who try to cut in line when there are long lines at the grocery store. It is always men. I will always speak up. Some have tried to ignore me.
