Back to School commercials starting literally the day after July 4th.
It depresses me and makes me feel like the summer is over when it just started. Dd was in school until June 24th.
Come on.
We don't go back until September 8th



Yup they need to run these commercials per region not National.

I agree, but apparently Arizona is already back.



Omg. Whyyyyyy??

They probably ended beginning of May as schools down south go back the beginning of August usually.

I hate when couples sit on the same side of a booth at a restaurant lol



I hate when couples need to tag each other in every Facebook post.

I get it if it's some significant event for your kids that maybe you want his side of the family to see but I always think it's weird if it's just a random "Susie Smith is FEELING HAPPY - with John Smith at Carvel - getting ice cream!!!Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon "



I hate that and the incessant posts about happy birthday to the most amazing husband on earth I'm so lucky to have you blah blah blah. Is it weird I dont wish my husband happy birthday on Facebook? I say it to him in person lol

Yeah what is that all about? I like my space and can still touch each other if that is what their intentions are.



My husband has hearing loss so we always sit together. He can’t hear me on the other side of the booth with all of the other noise at a restaurant.

Thank you for a different view of why someone would do this.

All fake. I actually saw someone doing this today but to a child about their new sibling coming. Sorry, but put it in a journal or baby book. Not sure why all of social media needed to see that intimate post.

Any new pet peeves to rant about?

I have noticed lately (particularly on Facebook) that most of the world has forgotten the word "HAVE". Every post is "could of", or "should of" etc. No one seems to remember it's "could've" or "should've". All the to/too and their/there mix-ups are bad enough, but the "of" one really drives me crazy.

I’m guilty of this but not so mushy, just a plain birthday and Father’s Day shot out. We don’t really tag each other unless it’s something funny.

I do laugh at the “my husband is so awesome because he picked the kids up from school” post. It’s usually something random that a parent should do and the one spouse is giving all these accolades like it’s not their job.

Or not responding at all and you have to chase after them. I HATE doing it and people who don't respond anymore don't get invited anymore by me. Then I always get the "where was my invite". Really? How hard is it to respond, even if it is maybe.
The FB invites show when people see your invite too so you know they clicked on it and read it.

I swear every time I have to write lose, I always go right back in my head to elementary school where a teacher said. "Loose rhymes with Goose"
I swear that stuck with me forever and I never mistake the two since!

Re: Any new pet peeves to rant about?

Supermarket cashiers here. I think cashiers at the Aldi and Lidl in the US do the same thing, not sure. I’m used to it and I can bag super quick and have it down to a science, but yesterday was another story. She was going so quick, some of my stuff started getting thrown on the floor.

Ugghh I miss people actually packing my bags but not if they do a crappy job like that. I feel like I need a nap some days after going shopping trying to keep up with them scanning my items faster than I can get them in the bags.

No one packed my bag. They scan super quick and I guess I wasn’t quick enough to pack things, so stuff started going on the floor.

Maybe that’s it as well. Honestly, I saw the typo so much last year that I did a Google search because I thought something changed in the English dictionary or that it was a new slang term. Like emphasizing the O’s in lose to l-oo-se, as extra lost. Lol.

That drives me crazy too but I wonder if it's voice to text.

I use it often and with my hard LI accent "have" always becomes "of" and I cringe and change it.

Sometimes people don't look and edit before they send. If I am in a rush I don't either although I'd be mortified if that mistake went through lol.

I keep getting phone calls and texts asking if I own the property at blahblahblah address in blahblahblah town, which I do not. I recently got such a call asking to speak with my mom, who is deceased. I said, "She's deceased, so she's unavailable to speak with you right now." Chat Icon

The only reason I answer these calls is because of the situation with my relative who is recovering from COVID. I never answered unknown numbers in the past, but I have to now because I never know if it could be related to that situation.

When people don’t return the damnnnn carts to the cart return when they are 3 feet away or less??!!! How lazy can you be??!!! Personally I don’t see the big deal returning it to the proper spot no matter how far away it is but when a cart is left out and it’s so close to the cart return it irks me to no point lol

Also hate when a parking lot doesn’t have a cart return??? I want to know who tonight that’s a good idea!!

I'm waiting on an entire family of people to respond! And i ain't chasing them!!
