Friday OT #1 - Burning

[Clonefan32]

We've become a nation of disheveled slobs. It's embarrassing.

This was my "old man yelling at the sky" moment, but the president of a local college posted a picture about a meeting he had with student government leadership. One of them is in a graphic sweatshirt and sweatpants, and the other is in a crewneck sweatshirt and leggings-- for a planned meeting with the president of a college.

I'm also curious how half of the people in my kid's school dropoff line can still be in pajamas at 7:45 in the morning.

I wonder if she ever watched Paw Patrol, and encountered mayor goodway. She’s obsessed with a chicken, and so inept that some dogs have to do all of her mayoral duties for her.

Or Dora whose parents let her wander around with a talking monkey in the jungle and no other guide. Or Peppa Pig whose parents just are MIA. Bluey appears not only to be the gold standard of cartoon anthropomorphic parents - they may be the only active ones.

Hate to ruin your Friday but they were cooked up with some eggs.

I'll defend those people. I am a full time WFH person - I wear gym shorts and a t-shirt every day. I'm not putting on jeans or khaki's to impress anyone.

Jimmy Dean is still smiling.

So that is what you wear to your kids graduation or family Christmas?

I get that-- but I'm willing to bet alot of these people aren't WFH...

Agree with Social media.... colossal waste of time.

Family Christmas? Hell yes - I'm not dressing up for my parents and in-laws to come over. I encourage them to all be comfortable as well.

Kids Graduation - Ill throw on jeans and a polo... when that time comes.

The stoplight goes red and 3 more cars drive right through.

The stoplight goes green and the person in the front doesn't move for 10 seconds because they are on their f*ckin phone.

The Burger King commercials where the singing is deliberately off key. It is fingernails down a chalkboard to me. They run them every commercial break on ESPN.

I loathe it with the passion of a 100 burning suns

People who need to respond to every text no matter what. Example. You tell your neighbor that his car lights are on, he responds thanks, and the first person has to answer back.

Hey it’s taken care of, don’t need to keep it up.

I hate coffee. Intensely.

Facebook.

It's nothing more than a forum for people to pretend how perfect their lives are, to send stupid pictures of their lower legs and feet in some kind of beach setting, to b*tch about politics, and to brag about their kids.

It's just the worst. The youth sports clips always kill me. "Timmy went 3-4 today with 2 triples and here are the clips". Lady, those are 2 singles with 4 errors. Nobody wants to watch their own kids play sports, let alone other people's kids.

I also know people who don't speak over political Facebook spats and I'll never understand it. You're not going to change anyone's mind. And if you think you can, pick up the damn phone and call them.

Facebook is the worst.

I'm 100% convinced that Thomas the train and the Island of Sodor are a giant drug smuggling operation and Sir Topham Hatt is a cartel kingpin.

How about the freaking man in the Yellow Hat?! He sends Curious George, a CHILD MONKEY, around to do complicated errands and then is baffled when George causes chaos. I mean, he’s a ******* monkey, perhaps meter your expectations, dude. Why are you even leaving a monkey home alone to roam your house, let alone pick up the dry cleaning?!

Reality shows about dating

99% of social media and reality television

"reality tv" The only time I see it is when there are commercials during sporting events on fox and I think WTAF! It makes me dumber in seconds and unfortunately most americans are just as stupid as the whatever you call the participants in this trash.

Reality Tv watcher- Takes me straight back to a short convo I witnessed in KC. Guy says covid was spread by plane contrails. My friend says......"you know jet fuel burns at 1500 degrees Fahrenheit "....... Then I realized, Oh **** he's talking to the stupidest person on the planet and I walked away.

As a member of the free range child generation from the jungles of Fort Dodge, I could have occasionally used a talking monkey.
