Anyone who blocks the aisle at the grocery store, period. I don't care that you're five minutes deep into a mental comparison between brands of whatever. I don't care that your friend is there and you want to chat with them. I. Do. Not. Care. I am there to get my groceries and get the Hell out. If you want to be uninterrupted in your perusal/chat/whatever? Then stop leaving your cart in the middle of the goddamn aisle. I have zero compunctions about pushing your cart to one side or the other, and will, regardless of how much you glare or bitch at me for interrupting your precious whatever time. You interrupted my grocery time first.

*Empirical you, obviously.

Stupid, inconsiderate morons in supermarkets who leave their cart in the middle of the aisle as they browse the shelves or talk to a second moron whose cart is also in the middle of the aisle.

I learned long ago to be courteous and park my cart outside of narrow aisles, and walk into the aisles to get what I want.

[Thenomain]

Nudge it aside with your cart and do not acknowledge sass about it.

[BetterJudgment]

I park my cart in front of the shelf that holds the giant-sized packages of Chocolate Frosted Marshmallow Corn Syrup Bombs while I trot down to the other end of the aisle to get the big bag of Flavorless Gluten-free Fake Cheerios, just to irritate the people who voluntarily eat CFMCSB. (Because I sure don't voluntarily eat FGfFC.)

[Luna]

I don't like it when people give me shit over what and how much I eat. (Which oddly enough never happened when I was really fat but almost 100 pounds later people come out of the woodwork to have an opinion)

I'm not going to judge another persons love of delicious junk.

[Deleted]

The only people who seem to criticize my diet are much heavier than me.

I weight 150 and am 5'9. I am not overweight. Please quit telling me I need to 'quit all them sodas' while you slurp down your diet coke, fatty mcfatterson.

[Luna]

@Admiral YES. Yes yes yes. 'You're going to die if you eat that much eggs and bacon' 'is that ALL your having? You can't be full.' 'Oh I'm on a diet too but live a little' 'You need to switch to turkey bacon' 'you eat too much butter' Bitch please. Leave me alone, I'm happy and you're complaining about feeling like shit and that you can't find clothes.

Don't even get me started on arguments with girls who are mad some guy says they are too fat to date but only wants a thin buff man because they can't control what they're attracted to. NEITHER CAN THE DUDE. God.

Furthermore, this may be why my really fat ex wrote me and told me I was horrible and full of vitriol.

I don't even date according to physical attractiveness anymore. I'd just like to meet someone who has a good personality.

Because everyone around here is a goddamn filthy backwoods negro-hating gay-bashing bible-thumping hunting, fishing, and mudding savage.

[Luna]

@Admiral Good lord. That sounds like what people think where I live is like. It sounds awful.

[Wretched]

See i got fat AFTER getting married. Totally a better strategy. (dont hit me)

[Miss Demeanor]

I've found that as I've gotten older, physical appearance has become less important. Not that I don't have my preferences (I do), but I would much rather date someone that I can actually enjoy spending time with over someone that's a total hardbody but that makes me want to smother them with a pillow every third word.

Also, YES. Dear God yes. Please stop telling me that I need to stop drinking so much coffee while you shove your second Big Mac into your mouth. Or that I need to eat more than two meals a day when that keeps me perfectly content. I don't like breakfast, sue me. On the rare occasion I actually eat that early, I tend to be too full for lunch. So what, that's just how my body works, leave me alone.

I think I'd just be happy with someone who didn't insist on going to a fucking farmer's market on D&D day. We can go shopping any day of the week, but you have to have a fit because I don't want to go during the six hours out of the week I have set aside for something I like to do?

I can't believe I've dated two different people like this. Best breakups of my life.

[Miss Demeanor]

SACRILEGE!!! I have dragged my kids along to D&D day when I couldn't get a sitter or my mom was busy. Because D&D day is sacred, dammit!

That's when they learn to go to the farmer's market by themselves. Or earlier enough that it won't impact your D&D game. (If possible)

If you stopped drinking so much coffee I bet you'd have more friends AND money.

By the spoon? I eat sticks of butter like they are candy bars!

I get groceries on my own. I do errands on my own. I go to work on my own. And when the partner is in bed, and the kids are sleeping, I MU* on my own.

People need to learn to do shit on their own. Doing shit together is fun and all, but I hate people who can't do shit on their own.

[Bobotron]

@Ganymede
I can't +1 your post enough. I feel like this is why my partner and I have such a successful relationship (our 14th anniversary is next month.) We have interests and things we do together, and we have separate interests and things we do separately (he's not a gamer, so my gaming stuff is something I do separately, AND we can be doing homebody stuff while I'm MU*ing). And it works.

Peeve: People at work who continue to violate work policies with shit like cellphones and facebook, and don't really give two shits, and seem to have less 'hey, you're working, right?' stuff pointed at them than people who are actively working their asses off.

+11111111111111111111. Last night I was hanging with friends for a birthday celebration, and today I'm on my own, running around getting coffee, grabbing some awesome tacos, and then catching a movie. IT'S OKAY TO DO THINGS BY YOURSELF.

[Luna]

I don't like people who can't do some things by themselves either but I also like togetherness things. That said I've been successfully doing things by myself for 6 years. That makes being forever alone sound like I'm just strong and independent. Winning!
