I like rainbows and have resented how the LGBTQ movement has made that their symbol. So I was ordering a travel umbrella on Amazon and there were about a dozen color choices. I decided to go wild and crazy and ordered the rainbow one. I am taking rainbows back into my life. lol you're probably not going to make the "statement" you think you are. Enjoy your umbrella. EXACTLY what I was thinking. I got a good giggle out of that one!

If you are stalking me for my parking spot you have forced me to do a full vehicle inspection, check my face in the mirror and quite possibly call my bestie before I will turn on my car.
I also refuse to order the stupid names of sizes at Starbucks. But, I've only been in a Starbucks maybe 4 or 5 times in my life so it's not a big issue anyway.

I don't understand when people brag about being a deliberate asshole to other people like this. I guess it makes you feel 'big' some how? Something to think about - that person hoping to slip into your spot when you leave may just be my handicapped husband trying to get a spot as close as he can because all the blue spots are taken. He's not trying to be rude or rush you. He's just hoping to do the day with a little less pain.

I never wrap the cord back around the vacuum at home or at work anymore. I just loop it up freestyle and put it around the vacuum that way.

Iβm actually a little bummed if I pull out and no one is waiting for it.

That's just mean. Why would you do that to someone that is just trying to find a darn parking place? They're not personally stalking you!

I really don't see how this is any different than the posters who talk about their own rude behavior in lines. To clarify, if I'm in an obviously crowded lot where cars are circling for ages I don't do this. Where it mainly seems to happen to me is at Walmart or Target which have huge lots with tons of empty spaces. I tend to park towards the back because I don't like to be rushed or to have to back out at the same time as 5 million other cars are buzzing around. It gives me anxiety. I want to take my time putting my groceries in the trunk not just chuck them in because someone is perched 6 feet away from me stalking me for my spot. It drives me crazy and I want them to go away.

I used to be a bitch that way until road rage shootings became a fairly common occurance around here. Now, I let traffic annoyances slide and just get out of their way. If you're tailgating me I will slow down and it makes me especially happy when someone is in the right lane and you can't go around me. I'm not a slow driver, I stay with traffic (sometimes faster) and there is no reason for you to ride 2 inches from my bumper!

I stop for red lights! That is unusual in my area. Many times, 3 cars decide they can still go after the light turns red. And I know this will make everyone mad, but sometimes I blow my horn at the red light runners! I should add that we live in a very safe area (except for accidents).

You want to cut me off? Tailgate me? Knock yourself out - I'll get out of your way. Living in a "shoot first and ask questions later" state, it just isn't worth trying to show the idiot driver the error of his/her ways.

I like rainbows and have resented how the LGBTQ movement has made that their symbol. So I was ordering a travel umbrella on Amazon and there were about a dozen color choices. I decided to go wild and crazy and ordered the rainbow one. I am taking rainbows back into my life. Yaaaassss Queen! I found a great shirt to wear out strolling with your new umbrella!
And a mug to drink a nice cup of tea to warm up after walking in the rain with your new umbrella!
And a great shower curtain for when it's "raining " inside!
πππππππππππππβπππππππππ The tea mug is cute (and TRUE!) . I have a childhood friend who would LOVE that shirt...I might have to get one for him. His early life was SO difficult; trying (and TRYING) to date women, to fit in, to not be made fun of constantly, AND struggling with suicidal thoughts after being horribly bullied. I wonder if that poster knows the rate of suicides of LGBTQ people---ESPECIALLY the teenagers whose parents, other family members, friends, church, etc. "disown" them. Yes, I want to get him that shirt to celebrate that he was FINALLY at peace when he decided (in his early twenties) that he had to live his life the way HE WAS BORN, and not let the bullies ruin his life !!!!!! Also, does that poster realize there are MANY "straight" couples out there who are ONLY married to the opposite sex because society told them that was the only acceptable way? How many times do we read about a man who is "happily" married to a woman, but he's secretly cheating with another man? I also wonder if that poster is familiar with the famous quote..." the lady doth protest too much". A rainbow has, and always will be a very pretty thing that some people enjoy....no resentment or paranoia required!
Ahem......on a different but related note.... When I looked at the shower curtain, it did NOT make me think of LGBTQ immediately like the tee shirt and mug did. I just thought it was a very pretty rainbow and I loved all the "white space" around it (learned that term from scrapbooking) We have a gorgeous duvet cover I found years ago at Target that I LOVE! It's got the "crisp" white background with a bright orange poppy that is off-center. My eye is always attracted to that for some reason.

If someone behind me beeps when the light turns green, I pull out as slowly as I possibly can!!! Also if someone passes me when I am going the speed limit, I always frantically waved at them as they go around. And then if we get to the next stop or light at the same time, I wave again. Why does it bother you when someone passes you?

I refuse to watch the ads when I play games in my phone. I avert my eyes, except to glance for the little x to delete them. I know theyβre designed to suck me in, and I refuse to watch.
I also refuse to listen to anymore of the recording when I call doctors or other numbers that give e the long spiel before telling me what number to click. I despise n these systems so much almost always i end up needing a person to reroute me to the appropriate line anyway.

It's a TAG on a silly pillow---WHO CARES? It doesnβt apply to the purchaser, only to sellers (wholesale and retail). I donβt know why they put those stupid tags on to begin with, but they changed the wording many years ago to say that no one but the end consumer could remove the tags. Because people were confused. duhhh! stupid tags!
