We all have random thoughts pop up in our head (or at least I think we all do- it could just be me! ha!). So I decided to make a blog post about random thoughts that pop up in my head.....
*Does a thank you, I love you, or any form of gratitude mean more to someone if you post it on Facebook for everyone else to see instead of simply telling the person?
*Once you have taken a few selfies and posted them, do you ever think, "that's enough selfies?" I mean you can only post so many pics of your face smiling or making faces before all your pictures look the same.
*When sitting in traffic and you see someone fly by on the lane meant to exit and they swing over into the traffic last minute to cut in, do you think "Wow that person is smart! They got five cars ahead of me instead of merging like everyone else." Or for that matter, what do you think the person driving is thinking when they do this? "YES!!!! I will get to work 30 seconds quicker now!"
*If you have a baby, are you surprised at how much you talk about poop? I sure was....poop is like a daily subject in my household. "Do you know if Aiden pooped today?" "No?" "Maybe we should give him some prunes, etc"
*When we use Facebook to complain about our lives or moan about something, does it make us feel better? Do we like people feeling sorry for us? What did we do before Facebook when we wanted to complain?
*Am I the only one fascinated with reality television? I love it all...these people amaze me...especially the Real Housewives! It just goes to show that you can have all the money in the world and still be a hot mess. I think it helps me appreciate the little things more. (or at least that's how I portray my love of reality bullshit to my hubby!)
*What's the obsession with kale? I know people love to eat it and juice it because it is "good for you"....but come on, the way people eat kale they must think it will be like spinach is for Popeye and turn them into super humans.
*Why is it when you give people an inch of authority, they abuse it? I mean, not all people but I consistently see many do this. Take our rent a cop security where I work. They will chase you down to see your badge EVEN if they see you every day, even multiple times a day. Then they will shame/scold you and remind you to show your badge. They have everyone so scared that just this morning as I was coming in the side door, a lovely man held the door open for me and I said thank you...but then HE proceeded to ask me if I had my badge! LMAO Now I have to prove to other people in the building I work here so they will let me in? Honestly, there is no agency in this building that someone is going to want to come in and take us out. And quite frankly, I have sneaked in numerous times without my badge so if someone REALLY wanted to get in, they would. Back off rent a cops. We are all here to do a job- not harass people and call it part of our job. #puttheshoeontheotherfoot
*Why must we always learn the hard way? My parents always tried to give me advice and I told them they never understood and their advice was crap.....ahhh, yes....I thought I was so smart back then. NOW, I have a 13 almost 14 year old teenage girl at home who knows everything and we don't understand anything and our advice is crap. Oh dear child....if you only knew! It makes me laugh. Just last night I was talking about how stressed and exhausted I was because March was going to be soooo busy and I have to work a lot of weekends, throw a baby shower, go to a wedding, etc." Athena proceeds to tell me "You can't be half as stressed as I am!!!!" LMAO!!! Really? What could you possibly have to stress about that trumps adult stress- and for that matter, on Spring Break?? As I said, all I can do is laugh because arguing your point is POINTLESS. I repeat POINTLESS!! Teenagers know everything so don't even try to help. Just let them fall on their face and learn the hard way! (it will save you a lot of wasted and frustrated energy) :)
*There should be a law that allows you to work from home if you have one of the following ailments: headaches, diarrhea, PMS/cramps/period problems, nausea/throwing up or excessive gas. Most of these are explainable so I will leave it at that. Let's be honest people, do you want to deal with even half of those issues in a public bathroom you share with coworkers? I think not..... and I sure as heck don't want someone else coming to work with those issues. hahaha
Until next time.....Mel
I can especially relate to the teenage Step-Daughter post. She is constantly telling me that her going to school is JUST as hard as working, if not harder. It drives me INSANE, especially when I try to explain that college is even harder, even if she's taking AP classes.
ReplyDeleteThen I try to remind her that things are harder for some people than others, but that doesn't take away that it's still hard. Like the people who live up north and deal with snow all the time, and then have no tolerance when other states freak out, because they aren't set up the same. When the shoe is on the other foot, they Hate the high temperatures and don't even have to deal with over 100F for DAY/WEEKS/MONTHS at a time.
I hear you! The only way you can not let it drive you insane is by ignoring it. She will learn on her own. Because arguing otherwise will only make you more crazy because you can't convince her....just remember....10-15 years from now she will have a completely different perspective. But really- can kids appreciate what they have instead of moaning about what they don't have? Sheesh!
