If you have to feel guilty, it should be for confusing Haiti with Africa. That was Haitian Creole some of them were speaking. (But no judging, I wouldn't have recognized it either before I went there!)

Please, most Americans can't even name all the states. They don't even know where Haiti IS.

Romney is a candidate for president and he doesn't know where Iran even is.

I sat in my cab outside a Waldorf Astoria for ten minutes in FL last week because the cloud cover was preventing my credit card from going thru. I just wanted out of that damn cab, imagine what the Haitian cabbie was wondering...

It costs me THIRTY dollars to fill up my Prius every week now.

Spent over an hour building a Lego set with my DS but could not find one tiny piece to finish it. He has so many legos and all the sets get mixed together. I was able to improvise but it bugs me when I look at it.

That's surprising, there's two of us on here today with this skill set (I was the poster who pointed it out above). And yes, I can recognize French spoken with a Senegalese accent. My first world problem: I left international work when the kids were born, and now my use of this skill set is limited to identifying the country of origin of you-tube videos.

I'm slightly upset and embarrassed that another poster called me out for not knowing that video was from Haiti, not Africa.

Don't be. There's very little way you could have known. Sure, some of them spoke Haitian Creole, but it takes a special skill set to distinguish Haitian French from West African French.

Now there's a first-world problem: My advanced knowledge of dialects spoken in developing countries is under-appreciated and seldom of any use.

I'm super irritated that I can't find a cute monogrammed cooler bag to take to our neighborhood BYOP fall festival. I have spent way too much time looking for this bag online. Oh, and the new car I want has now been pushed back until December release, and I want it now.



Love this thread.

I bought a set of those cute colorful knives from Costco and now I don't know how to display them!

I have been to three different stores and spent almost $100 on Halloween candy, and I still can't find the individually wrapped pull apart cherry flavored Twizzlers that I like to eat while handing out candy.

Now I have to settle for one of the 9 different types of chocolate I bought instead of twizzlers on Wednesday. I look forward to this treat every Halloween, and now I have to be disappointed. Life is so unfair

I'm upset because my husband will only have sex with me when I initiate and only twice a week.

I have a proposal I should be writing for a client I don't like very much, but I'd rather read this thread, which I love!

When my MIL babysits my kids for free, she gives them candy and non-organic milk.
