Why are there underwear laying around anyway?? NONE OF THEM ARE WEARING ANY CLOTHES!!

For some reason that commercial gets me too.  Maybe it’s run it’s course.  Idk.  But it irks me.  Not to mention, what parent is afraid to pick up some undies, soiled or not???  Not buying it.  I mean, we do buy it (charmin) but not this particular scenario.

Do we really need cartoon characters addressing the issue, in moderately graphic terms, of what we use to wipe our [BLEEP]? That whole series of commercial is just uncomfortably creepy.

A simple example:  She can't understand why a team 'doesn't try to go for it' on 4th down from their own 20 yard line rather than punt.  (This one gets asked at least a couple of times a year)

or

What position does Leonard Fournette play?

I will say that she does get enthusiastic when we have an exciting play.  She usually scares the living [BLEEP] out of the dogs.

I remember the first football game I watched with my then girlfriend.  I had gone into the kitchen to get a beer and missed the snap.  I suddenly heard her shouting, "Run Freddie, RUN!!", followed a couple seconds later by a loud "NO!"

I burst back into the room demanding "What happened?"

She said "Freddie broke loose for a big gain, but there's a flag in the backfield.  It's coming back for holding"

I knew I had found a keeper...…..and we got married a couple months later.

Tell him to spray his feet with deodorant. Seriously, it works! Works great for slip on, no sock shoes too. Wink

When people park in their driveway with their back end overhanging the street. Especially when you have room in front of you to park a 747. Not sure why this gets me TBH. If a car was parked inside the road, I probably wouldn’t think twice. But if you’re in your drive and hanging over...C’Mon man

It may be a southern thing.  In the north, snowplows have a way of discouraging those protruding bumpers.

Yeah, I remember those.  They kinda were slacking in my area.  But had they done their job our vehicles would’ve been safe.  But maybe it’s because we were too poor at the time to fill the driveway.

Everyone I know is in my contact list.  If my phone shows just a number and no name, I'm not answering.  I get at least 2 or 3 a day.

Yep.

If it's somebody that's legit and needs to talk to me they'll leave a message.

That’s a double whammy.  Pollen and no fish.  

My truck is the same.  Went to Publix to get something for dinner.  Figured I’d grill.  After looking like a weirdo with this stupid and awkward grin on my face upon being asked “is plastic ok?” I walk out to the truck and it finally hit me. [BLEEP]!   Guess I’m cleaning the patio when I get back.  Forgot about the damn pollen.

When you’re being lazy and cooking frozen foods for dinner and all of the stuff gets cooked at a different time and temperature.   Forcing you to cross multiply, and other math functions while drinking.  Screw it.  I’ll wing it.  Wasn’t expecting much anyway.  As long as my beer is cold.

I'm not sure if this is actually trivial. But...the fact that airlines can change your itinerary on a whim but if you want to change your itinerary they charge you an arm and a leg.

That's BS man. And they can bump you to the next flight if their idiot [BLEEP] overbooked the plane even though you are confirmed for your flight. The next time I have to go somewhere I'm driving. That's screwby. 

You want to know what else is BS? I got an MRI today. Cost me $186 and they're going to charge me another $60 copay when the results are read. But not to me, they're just being "read" into my chart and I'll be charged another $60 Friday when I see my ortho surgeon to actually get my results. They're going to nickel and dime me to debt. This didn't happen four years ago when I went through this for my first shoulder surgery.

Yes! Especially the Spectrum guys who come around every six months to talk about switching to them. I tell them if their weekly junk mail littering my mailbox hasn't convinced me yet I'm pretty sure they can't.
