Here are the things I am sick of:

The endless train of young women with tall boots and leggings with the baggy sweater. Cloning is not yet legal.
Especially when they are on the chunky side - Ugg boots and leggings were not MADE for you, tubby.
The gourmet burger trend. They should have stopped with BGR (an excellent burger).
Any hint of the cupcake trend. I'm so ready for the day that this short-lived nonsense dies and we can go back to our lardy devil food Giant bakery cupcakes at a reasonable price.
New brick mid-rises in Clarendon. We can handle a variety of building materials, really.
"Steps to Metro". Lie. Lie. Lie. Though this goes for the lying real estate agents across all of NoVA, really.
Jhoon Rhee. $180/month. Jesus F. Christ. Yet child actually enjoys this, unlike soccer. Damn.
Restaurants in close proximity to Jhoon Rhee at Lee Harrison. Except for the Thai place. Please don't mention Elevation Burger, which is overpriced, faux-healthful rubbish.
All the goddamn kids with last names for first names, which sounds pretentious. "Harrison! Hurry home for your Japanese lessons." "Carter! Nanny is ready to go now!"
The fact that although I had my child when I was 29, a pretty normal age on the spectrum, the parents of all other children my son's age seem to be 10 years older than I am. And God, do they look it.
There's no real neighborhood/street life along Wilson outside of Clarendon, which has been co-opted by national chains.
Ballston Common Mall continues to suck ass as it has since I moved here in '98. Gee, who wants to buy a dinette or go to a second Macy's in one mall? Ballston's your place! One place where we need national chains (apparel) and we get junk.
Giganto-houses shaped like bowling alleys that appear to have eaten the modest single-family homes that used to be there. I'm sure your neighbors enjoy having the sun blotted out and staring at the beige vinyl siding of your wannabe McMansion that you think is so much better than those in Ashburn because you are "urban".
Dickwads who refuse to stop for pedestrians attempting to cross roads, despite flashing lights, raised crossings, and excessive signage. Arlington County police - please step up enforcement.

What?

I thought Jesus's middle name was "H", not "F". Otherwise, I agree with everything PP said about N Arlington, for the most part. And Jhoon Rhee.

I have to agree with everything said here. The C/N Arlington poster is brilliant.

I don't get why women lucky enough to have married young enough to have a child by age 29 are down on women who had a child at 39 and look old. Do you think it was planned that way? Do you think you'll never be 39 and look old yourself? Why so critical?

I agree PP! I would have loved to have been married at 23 with 3 babies by the time I was 30. Guess what, it didn't happen for me. Next thing I knew I was 35 and made peace with being single. I met my husband and am now married and have been TTC for 2.5 years- 2.5 soul sucking, money sucking, exhausting years. I am sick of the judgment- try walking a minute in my shoes!

People who start a thread " Tell me how you make ends meet on making $250K a year...."

We all know that you do this just so you can divulge your huge incomes, and by default try to make everyone else feel like unsuccessful low-lives using up your precious oxygen. yawn.....
