Agreed!! 

I actually love a little weight on a guy (my husband is 6 feet and about 200LBS but healthy according to his doctor), but there comes a point when it becomes disgusting.

Okay so this may sound really shallow but about fat people:  If you weigh 600 LBS and eat 3 large pizzas for lunch, it's YOUR fault that you're fat.  I understand that SOME people have medical issues which cause them to gain weight, and that is totally different.  But no one can eat McDonald's everyday and expect to be skinny!

I would like to add:

 

I am 5'9" and I weigh 108 (technically underweight, and I am actually TRYING to gain, healthily).  I have friends and acquaintances who ask me how I stay so thin, and I tell them the simple truth.

Everything in moderation.

I eat about every 2 hours (keeps the metabolism going).  I only eat junk food on weekends (depriving oneself does not work), if I have the munchies, I'll eat carrot or celery sticks with hummus, or a rice cake with peanut butter.  I drink LOTS of water (about a gallon a day), and absolutely zero soda or beer.  Although I do have a slight addiction to coffee, I drink a glass of water for every cup. 

 

And although I go out to eat quite frequently (about 4 times a week) I NEVER eat McDonalds or the like.  If I want a burger, I will make it at home.  I'll put veggies in the ground beef and I'll make potatoes in the oven.  If I am to order pizza, I'll order thin crust, and load it up with veggies, and tell them to go easy on the cheese.

 

I'm not going to never eat at a restaurant, or deprive myself of the occasional Aero bar (mmm bubbles) but I am also not going to eat shit every meal. 

 

Water is a wonderful cleanser for the body.  And (yes it sounds disgusting) as long as my pee is clear (or close to it), I know I am drinking enough.  (Pee is toxins leaving your body, so the more color, the more toxins, and it should actually be clear or almost.)

When someone tells me that I really know that god exists deep in my heart and I am just rejecting him

My biggest pet peeves tend to revolve around people who seem unaware that there are other people around them who have needs, and desires as well.  It could be someone taking up a ridiculous amount of time with superfluous banter at the cash register while the line-up of people behind them grows longer and more impatient.  There are also people who honk their car horns to 'say hi' to a friend, resulting in other motorists swerving and cringing as they respond to what is supposed to be an alarm for danger.  I particularly disdain people who chose the tightest bottleneck of pedestrian traffic to stop and talk to a friend or on their cellphones.  hmm, this sort of list just sort of goes on forever.  Needless to say, a great portion of the time I spend amongst the general public is soured by frustration.

Agree, agree, agree.  The groups of (usually female) friends who insist on walking beside each other in every hall, blocking 95% of it also drive me nuts.  Yeah, when nobody's in the halls it's OK, but when they're full and people are rushing to classes, do you think you could break up your pack just enough to let other people by?

People who speak softly, when they should know by now that I'm extremely hard of hearing.

People who chew with their mouth open. It's outrageously disgusting and quite frankly, the sound produced when it is engaged in gives me the urge to cut out their tongues.

More importantly, people who cannot accept when they are wrong. Or when they do accept it, they are little bitches about it. I don't think an explanation is required for this one...

I for one agree with you.

I had a childhood friend with the chewing issue.  When she ate with us my dad always got sick.  Ahh, memories...

My biggest pet peeve is when I'm in the middle of playing a song on my guitar and someone comes up and starts talking to me, usually with the question, "So, how long have you been playing for?" I mean, come on, wait until I'm done before you start a conversation with me. I don't mind being talked to when I'm done with the song and I like when people enjoy my playing. It's the interrupting of the song to ask questions that can wait a few minutes is what pisses me off.

OMD! There is one more that I just have to list and I can't believe that I forgot to add it. You may not have to deal with this anywhere else, but here in the south, I hear it all of the time. Instead of just calling it a "water heater", everyone here calls it a "HOT WATER HEATER"!

Now, what the hell is a hot water heater? I grew up calling it that but later thought about it and broke myself of the habit. You wouldn't heat up water that was already hot would you? NO! I'd like to meet the genius that decided to add the word "hot" to the name.

Professionals in the plumbing and water heater repair business even advertise on their website calling it a "hot water heater".

Ex.:  "Dipple Plumbing, Inc. was founded in Greenville, South Carolina in 1979... If your pipes are frozen or your hot water heater is leaking, we will be there for you."

Maybe I am just venting or maybe I am just psycho and need to go to bed, but this really gets under my skin.

O and don't get me started on the people that think I am dumb just because I am blonde and have an outgoing personality or the IGNORANT MEN that automatically assume that I want them just because I am nice to them. Does it work this way? When someone is nice and speaks to you it means they want you? I can think of many guys that think so. I actually had one guy, who I considered just a friend, show up at my house (still don't know how he found out where I lived) and wanted to know why I didn't answer his phone calls earlier that day. I had never hugged, kissed, or even winked at this dude, yet he somehow thought that I was his girlfriend. And I'm not exaggerating either. I have had male friends of mine tell me that when they first met me, they thought they'd get to sleep with me. They also say my bubbly personality makes me seem easy! Really?! That is insane to me! I am stereotyped pretty badly.

Sorry for the rant. I think I am just up past my bed time :D
