Oh, Fercryinoutloud! Top 8 Things That Annoy Me To No End

I rarely lose my temper. In fact, I can count the number of times I've been really enraged in my adult life on one hand. But there's a price to pay for keeping my temper--I get mildly annoyed A LOT.

1.) All these mothers who dress their 7 year-old girls like tiny strippers.

2.) Snow when it's supposed to be SPRING already!

3.) Restaurants that put onions in everything.

4.) Actors who give their children names like Audio Science, Pilot Inspektor, Apple, and Jermajesty, then act bewildered when everyone in the free world laughs at them.

5.) Those skimpy, drafty hospital gowns.

6.) Stupid, sexist commercials that teach us that men don't know how to do laundry, and that all it takes to make a woman happy is a big, sparkly diamond.

7.) Liberals blaming Conservatives for everything that has ever gone wrong in the history of the country.

  • Yeah, you don't have to go too far for a joke there, do ya.

  • beware the strange names... as a grown up they are nice to have, but for those 18 or 19 years that you're a kid, they are really horrible. This I know...

    So... Ty... Victoria's Secret, huh?

  • It's not so much that I forgot little Moxie Crimefighter, it's that there are so many stupid celebrity baby names and so little time.

    Ryan, dearest, does your wife know about these baby name plans of yours? Since she's the one who will be going through the morning sickness and labor, she really ought to get final veto power.

  • I hate elementary girls in shirts that read, "Spoiled" "Brat" "Boys are stupid lets throw rocks at them" "It's all about me" "Queen Bitch" etc.

    This is a variant of your tiny stripper item. Good blog Gina!

  • Or my personal "favorite" (for me to poop on) the 13 year-olds wearing shirts that say "Porn Star" or "Playmate" (bunny symbol and all).

    If I have a daughter someday, she's gonna hate my guts for being so lame and forbidding her to wear a "Porn Star" shirt to church.

  • You know, I'm not particularly prudish (just ask Tabitha about my treatise on the relative necessity of underwear), but I'm horrified on a daily basis by what some parents think is kosher. Seriously? Red lipstick and body glitter on a 9 year-old? That's trademark stripper territory! A jillion punchlines can't be wrong--doesn't anyone listen to the standup comics anymore?

    Ryan, just as long as you don't name your kids Dung and Herpes, it'll be okay. I would suggest looking up the meanings of the names you choose before you fill out the birth certificate, though. I found out my favorite name for a girl meant "blind" and had to remove it from the potential name list. It wouldn't seem right for me to saddle my (theoretical) kid with a name with a negative meaning when my parents blessed Ty and me with names that have such positive meanings.

  • Gina,

    Thanks for visiting our blog. Yes, of course I remember you. You haven't changed a bit after reading your blog....the same girl who gets stuck in deep thoughts and makes you laugh. Say Hi to Ty for me. He was always a good guy. Please keep us in your prayers!!! What have you been doing the last 15 years?
