What Peeves you?

Why do mens underwear cost so much less that ladies and Why do they make mens underwear with nice flat felled seams and on ladies they just use a serger, and they serge the elastic too and it makes these sharp edges that put huge dents in your skin!!! Why do we have to get the bras that cost fifty bucks for one that fits and men get three t'shirts in one pkg for fifteen bucks.

I cant understand why we arent totally boycotting panties that arent made as nicely as mens, you know with softer, thicker cotton with those nice flat felled seams!!! :angry

Although I totally agree your post made me giggle. My husband spends a whack o dough on his undies. He buys Hugo Boss and I shop at Walmart for mine! :phanvan I really don't mind. His body is prettier than mine.:cry

For the same reason they charge 99 cents for a man's dress shirt at the laundry, and $3.99 for a woman's blouse. And our clothes are generally smaller and less labor-intensive.

My pet peeve is people who go in the express checkouts at the grocery store and they have WAY too many items.

Along the lines of mens undies being more comfy (not to mention cheaper). What I don't get it---we can build stations in space, transplant organs, and build micro mini computers, just to name a few---but no one can figure out how to make a sock with no seam??? gimme a break--some are huge--and I'm a picky old lady!

And the driving across the parking lot----my DD refers to that as urban 4 wheeling---it is damn near a way of life here---makes me crazy too!

:phanvan You girls think that is bad??? NOOOOOOO, bad is when the hubby buys the underwear FOR YOU!!!

I Am thinking of having a lap band fitted in Bruges. I live in England and would like to contact any lap banders who have had there surgery at the St Jan Hospital.

Oh parking lots ARGH. We have one locally that's a "homemaker centre" big fabric store, loads of furniture stores, a bike store, curtain place, white goods. Whoever designed the carpark is a bloody idiot, no doubt about it. Its all over the place.

You get in your car to back out of your spot. YOu look behind you. You look right. You look left. You look diagonally one way. YOu look diagonally the other. YOu back out HOOOOOOOOONNNNNNKKKKK! You nearly get wiped out because there were so many possible directions from which a car can come at you that by the time you've checked them all, you have to start again! Its like someone took a big blank area and just randomly threw traffic islands and garden beds at it, with no thought at all as to traffic. What on earth is wrong with a few aisles up and down?

I know that this has been posted, but obviously some women need a reminder:

At work you are using a PUBLIC bathroom.

That means you are SHARING the bathroom with other women.

Please keep this in mind when you:

Hoover over the seat to pee. Its YOUR pee, wipe it off of the seat when you are done peeing on it.

Unroll 6 feet of toilet paper to get to the "untouched by human hands" toilet paper. Thats fine, but throw it away in the toilet or the trashcan, dont leave it on the floor.

Dont flush the toilet.

I know you dont want to touch the handle of the toilet, but use some of that paper you just wasted to wrap around your hand and flush the toilet.

Speaking of which, I know you just made a big poo, it and its stinky and you are in a hurry, but can you at least stay in the stall to make sure that it all goes down? You are allowed to flush more than once.

Yes, I know we have janitors at work who are there to clean to bathroom. But they are not there to pick up after you trash the place. They are there to sanitize it and restock it.

Come on people, do you do this at home????????

:yell: :yell: ARE WE REALLY CHEATING?????

There is a woman at work who is a real BIOTCH .

Whenever she hears somebody making a nice comment about me losing the weight she makes a point of calling me “cheater”, because I got the LB instead of “working” the weight off.

I already had the “It takes discipline and hard work to take the weight off after the LB”talk.

She calls me cheater every single time somebody gives me a compliment and she is around! And even though I told her that this was getting to be harassing, she laugh out loud and with her most innocent face said

“ Honey, relax, is just a joke…I mean …you paid for your band, same as some women pay for new boobs. I guess some women just can’t have the will power to control their eating habits and when they get too obese… well they have to get an operation.”:devious

She is a size 7 at her hips, but she is big at the top, maybe a 16. (Ugly, weird body!)

I answer that she was lucky because HER band was going to be ½ price due to the odd proportions of her body and that about the boobs... she was not going to need new ones because she already owns a pair of huge ones and that she just needed to lift them up the floor, because she is tripping on them.

Very childish :think answer on my part...I know.

But I work hard at the gym, and I take care of myself now...

So is it really "cheating" to get a LB????????

Have you being harrassed now that you are losing weight?

Do you have any "friends" who are now feeling jealous????:ogre

I feeel frustrated because this biotch is raining on my parade and other people follow her lead (She is the boss!!!) I'm feeling like I'm at middle school surrounded by the bullies:hurt

Speaking of public restrooms, how about toilet paper that is so cheap that it tears as soon as you try to pull on it? Then you end up with dozens of little scraps of paper and nothing substantial enough to wipe with. And it's really bad when they have the type of dispenser that prevents you from sticking your hand in and spinning the roll to get more paper to roll out. Aaarrrrggghhh!!!!!

Yep my pet peeve is JEALOUS BIOTCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that. Do you work in the US? If so, I'd tell her that if she doesn't stop, you're going to report her to HR for creating a hostile work environment. Repeatedly calling you a "cheater" is a form of harassment. This woman is obviously ignorant and malicious. I bet she's making other workers miserable, too. You should try asking her if smokers who are trying to quit are cheaters when they resort to Zyban and Nicorette gum. The lap-band is a tool, just like Zyban and Nicorette gum are for smokers. But trying to educate a bitch like that is probably impossible. She doesn't want to be informed; she just wants to be a bully.

After what I told her yesterday about her "Odd body and her droopy boobs ...maybe I need to speak to her boss!!!!

And I never saw this matter from your point of view....THANKS "wise one" from the bottom of my ...band (lol)

Hehehe, the underwear thing. Underwear is singular to me - as in "why does men's underwear cost so much less", not "why do men's underwear cost so much less" like someone said above. And you dont say a pair of underwear. Underwear covers all - jocks, socks, bras, undies etc. You dont put on a pair of underwear, you put on a pair of undies. That sounds really strange to me, but that must be an American thing becuase I hear it all the time on telly and on here etc. I'm probably the odd one out, lol.
