OK things have been bugging me lately. I know that it mostly has to do with the fact that I am in the later stages of the pregnancy and I am pretty dang miserable. So in an attempt to justify my madness I have compiled a list of all the things that have been cheesing me off lately.
- Rude comments on gossip sites. I fully admit that I read gossip sites. I find the lives of celebrities fascinating so I go on once a day get my fix of drama and move on. I rarely ever comment on any of stories though. But it does tick me off when I read the comments and someone is like: “I hate her. Why does this count as news? Who really cares?” Here’s why. No one told you to read the dang story. You chose to. So the only one to blame for the 30 seconds of your life that you just lost is you. If the subject of the post doesn’t interest you, don’t read the post! If you chose to read it, then STFU and quit your whining.
- Anti – vegetarianism. I am a former vegetarian that still sometimes likes to go meatless. I don’t push my views on people nor do I refrain from eating cheese, honey or a hamburger if I really want one. So when I am going through one of my meatless phases it would be appreciated it the sly comments and raised eyebrows were directed somewhere else. Furthermore, how about having some veggie options at staff functions. Yesterday we had a BBQ and the only option for vegetarians that they had was coleslaw. That’s very shortsighted. Just because we don’t eat meat doesn’t mean that we don’t eat at all.
- US Spell check. I am Canadian. I live in Canada. I spell like a Canadian. That means I spell favor, and color with a U. Words like poutine and touque are actual words. But Microsoft Word and my Blackberry don’t seem to think so. Even when I set the language to Canadian English, these words still get flagged as misspellings. They are not misspelled! They are spelled correctly if you are in Canada.
I have way more to add to the list but I have to go make my 587456 trip to the bathroom. When I get back I may add more.
