[MannyGlocks]

ending sentences with "baby"...ugh

'kay, let's try this.... (clears throat.....)

'.....I can't give you anything but love, immature human beingggggg..........................................'

Naaaaa, just doesn't sound right me.

"Baby Baby.... oooooo Baby Baby"

"Oh Baby, yes, I like it like that Baby!!!"

My only pet peeve is.... an internet product review that starts with the words " I have not used/tried this yet, but...."

Unbelievable how many of these reviews are out there.

Well I might have more than one peeve. Just waiting for validation on this one before I unleash.

At least they are being honest, if a little boneheaded. I hate the ones that are obvious paid reviewers. But.....Yes. You may now relieve yourself...

@MannyGlocks - Guess that old song 'Private number' isn't on your daily listen list, eh?

+1
Or glowing raves ("Durable, lasts forever") for a new product the reviewer purchased earlier that morning.

Wrangler, Carhartt, Columbia, Hanes, Lee, Levis, etc., all used to make a lot of clothes out of cotton. Back in the good ol' days, when I put on Wrangler shorts or jeans in the morning, a 32 waist would still be 32 by noon, by evening, and even the next day. Not drooping like a potato sack suspended from the belt loops like a shower curtain!

Sadly, the reliable products I swore by for decades are now made of flimsy, stretchy "Comfort Flex" material... and I can't imagine anything LESS comfy! Same thing with that thin rubbery shrink wrap crap they're using in T-shirts. I suppose my nipples are just as adorable as the next guy's, but dang, I miss the bygone days of simple, sturdy, comfortable cotton clothes that fit.

Fair enough, this new stretchy stuff is probably cheaper to manufacture, and I get that.

I'd happily meet any manufacturer half-way and pay more for what they used to sell. But, sadly, 90% of it is not even available anymore.

I can't stand it when anyone says, "That begs the question."
Probably the same lot as the "irregardless" and "could care less" misusers.

32" waist? Holy, uh, shirt.

I'm reminded here of the saying 'old age is when your broad mind and narrow waist change places...'

When people say..
"It is what it is".
Just a weak way of saying something sucks but you're too lazy to care or change it so whatever...

Like Midway's Larry Potterfield, ending up his Midway 'how-to' videos......'I'm Larry Potterfield, and that's the way it is...' No kidding?

"It is what it is".

Some times things in life are out of your control and it is what it is!!

 

[WhyElKay]

Some times things in life are out of your control and it is what it is!!

But sometimes they are not.. know the difference I guess..

 

[DB is Here]

know the difference I guess..

In other words..... "It isn't what it is"

...and, "It's all good."

Which I hear people saying when it's NOT all good.

Last week a few miles south of Yachats. That Beatles song "When I'm 64" comes next month. Yikes!!!

Oh yeah... pet peeves. Mrs. T. refused to snap the pic so I had some stranger do it, and he completely missed the water below. I swear, the next time I photograph strangers on their phone, they'll go home to find a video selfie of ME saying "1, 2, 3, smile!"

instead of saying "it is what it is" put your big girl/boy panties on and accept the challenge.. be proactive don't settle with being mediocre.

"it is what it is"

This is often something said as a coping measure and I've heard it from folks that have extremely successful lives. The reality is, why sit in a puddle on the floor when some things regardless how hard you try can't be solved by your own effort. Focus on what you can change or effect. I've never seen the statement "It is what it is" as a statement of failure. YMMV

 

[WhyElKay]

I feel it is a coping mechanism but it gives you permission to give up... to not focus on what you can change or effect.

The sound of a Prius. Oh, don't get me wrong, if one wishes to own one, more power to them; freedom is a wonderful thing. I'll just take the sound of a finely tuned, roaring V8 over something that sounds a Dust Buster.
