I so agree with this! If a car stopped to let me cross the street, I always hurry across extra-quick. It's my way of thanking them for stopping just for me.
And I wave! A thank you. I hate when people don't acknowledge that you accommodated them. I also get annoyed when drivers don't thank me for letting them in.
I confess, I am becoming paranoid about my spelling/grammar in this thread now.

The dad bod thing irritates me because it's not about attraction or preference. If you read the articles that started it, it's about women who want to make sure they're more attractive than their partner so they can lord it over him and be in control, justified by saying if they date someone who is in better physical shape, it's too much work for them to keep up. Meanwhile, it's expected that he'll be so grateful that they even speak to him, let alone sleep with him, he won't dare ever say no to them. IOW, it's the epitome of wanting everything for as little effort as possible, and the guy's feelings and personality don't even figure in - he's just a piece of meat with a beer belly to make them look good standing next to him. The back assward equivalent of a trophy wife.0

WHAT. That is a real thing? I am so embarrassed by the human race sometimes.

Oh gawd, barcode switchers. This stuff is like fingernails down a blackboard. I hated barcode switchers. And then they'd get really aggressive when you busted them. Like dude, did you really think we wouldn't notice that the giant, $150 tree was only scanning up at $3.99?
You can't be that obvious with it- you are only asking to get caught. Once it was for a roasting pan. The label had fallen off so I grabbed the label for the smaller size and went through the self checkout.
Another time was for a bra. The bras were the same style and size but one was $5 more because it had more design and lace.
Then there was a time we bought an outdoor fire chimney. The bay where they were all kept was so disorganized and product was in the wrong spot. The one we wanted was $169 so we grabbed the $99 sticker off a different one and went through the regular checkout. Of course it came up at $169 but we argued with the clerk and the manager that the price was $99. The didn't believe us so we took the manager to the bay where they were located and explained that we had no idea what the right price was for which item because all the product was in the wrong spot and the sticker on the box said $99. We got it for $99.
i heart you.
i just switched the tags on two bras i needed to return (grabbed the wrong size and then forgot about them) because my receipt was "out of date" with two i had just purchased and was still keeping. same brand...only a few dollars difference in price. i regret nothing.0 -

Yep. Thing is, I'm sure there are plenty of women out there who really are attracted to guys who are less cut and more squishy, so now if they speak up, they get lumped in with the "movement", just like guys who prefer larger women get lumped into the whole "feeder" thing.0 -

This is supposed to be a non-judgemental thread, so I am just going to have to sit on my fingers about this one.
Let me put it another way to you: I have been the person you have treated like they were stupid. It's not nice, especially when I KNOW you're deliberately trying to rip us off.
I have to add, I have worked retail for 17+ years and do not understand why you are taking this personally......
Seriously. It's like THEY are stealing directly from HER. Buuut I am not judging so whatev.
i was thinking the same exact thing.
BUT, then i remembered when i worked in retail, i was hardcore on catching shoplifters. but then again... i used my militant anti-thievery stance to cover the fact that i stole loads of stuff from them. sorry borders. R.I.P.0 -

I agree with this 100%. I've been in better shape post-kids than before. Yes, the shape of your body may change, but there's no reason that a mother needs to stay overweight and be satisfied with that.
I have the same opinion of that stuff going around about how women are more attracted to the "Dad bod". Um, no, no I'm not.
I dated a guy a few years ago that kind of had a "dad bod". (in other words, he had a beer belly). Being 26/27 years old and having a beer gut isn't attractive (if anything, it signaled a problem).
Note: I don't expect every guy to be ripped or anything, and I'm attracted to all kinds of body types (just not beer guts...)
My husband had it when we met... We met online though so I already liked him before meeting, or it would probably have put me off a little bit. It's worse now too, and I admit that it does put me off. I'm a horrible wife... And obviously I'm worried for his health when I see what he eats on a regular basis in the evening (let's say my ice cream pints have been disappearing one at a time).

I feel like my earlier post may have sounded shallow. I didn't break up with him because of appearance. Plus I really did feel like he was in the beginning stages of a drinking problem, which wasn't something I wanted to be involved with.

My husband will be happy to hear thanks to his beer belly he is now my trophy husband

My daughter's stupid dog attacked a baby bunny in our backyard this morning. I'm SO over that little a-hole monster. If she didn't love him so much, he'd be gone. Mind you, he's a Chihuahua/minpin mix and he's far more vicious than my pit has EVER been.
Any chance of hiring a dog trainer? I did that as a gift to my son when he ended up with two untrained dogs within a short time frame and unexpectedly and was going crazy. It was pricey, but if you find the right trainer (which thankfully we did after some searching) they train the human to train the dog. That way you have the knowledge and skills not just for this dog but for any you may have in the future. It was well worth the price. Just a suggestion. (He and both the dogs are very happy now!)
That's the thing. We had a dog already when we got this little effer and she is an amazing companion animal. He was a product of my husband's parents dogs which are bonkers. Not only that, but he was with my SIL for a while and her youngest daughter did nothing but torture him (not actual torture, but close enough) constantly.
We were hoping that he'd follow our other dog's lead (she's incredible) and pick up good habits and obedience. That is not the case AT ALL. He basically refuses to poop outside unless someone stays out there with him, which we don't always have time to do, so he's been using my basement as a toilet.
He barks and growls and even nips at my husband constantly, he has terrible separation anxiety from my daughter. We even bought him one of those Thundershirts that are supposed to help with all kinds of stuff, they even have a 100% money back guarantee and he ate the side of it. He chews on anything, just completely destroys almost everything.
This sounds terrible, but I feel as though we've already spent enough money on this little demon even though we didn't pay for him, we spent A LOT at the vet and on supplies, not to mention all the things we've had to replace that he's destroyed, I don't know if I want to put anymore money in him. I never wanted a puppy in the first place.
That's a tough situation. I get it. Does it respond favorably to treats? One basic training technique is this small, hand-held clicker. Try googling some training techniques because all of your family members can do them. It's so frustrating to not have them listen to you at all, so I understand what you're saying.
No, he's a total a-hole. We've tried a lot of different things, and he just doesn't care.
Well, then, I'm out of ideas. Poor thing. Sounds like he was mistreated from the beginning and has long-term affects. It's so hard with animals because they can't tell you what would help them or what they need. Sorry for your troubles!
Thanks, @BZAH10 . I don't want to give up on him because I'm not one to believe in bad vs. good dogs. Maybe this summer I will have my daughter work with him to get him trained. I appreciate ALL your suggestions though.

Yesterday I was in the breakroom it was 12:00pm. My employee Stinky Rick whom I've mentioned before was just finishing up his lunch and heading back to our warehouse. I receive a phone call from my boss on my cellphone at 12:02.
Boss: "Where you at"
AOJ: "I'm in the breakroom"
Boss: "Why doesn't Rick know you're on break?"
AOJ: "Rick literally just left me in the breakroom, he knows exactly where I am"
Boss: "Not according to him, I need to see you when you're done"
AOJ: "I'll be right there."
I get into her office
Boss: "What's going on with you, you haven't responded to any of my emails"
AOJ: "I've responded to all of your emails"
Boss: "We talked about them on the phone, but you didn't reply to the email"
AOJ: "We talked about them, the issues were resolved, there didn't need to be a reply."
Boss: "I'd appreciate it if you replied to my email"
She reiterates that somethings off. I talk to her about a couple issues that were bothering me.
Useless Manager becoming a Director, how I'm a supervisor that has to enforce operating procedures to managers who question me at every turn and go over my head with everything which totally demeans my position.
And she responds with "If you're so unhappy, find something else."
And that's when I blurted out "I did."
Her retort "Where do you think you're going to get a job working 8-5 monday through friday with weekends and holidays."
I said "Actually, I'll be getting even more holidays like Columbus Day, MLK Day, 1/2 day on Dec 23rd, December 24th and 25th off, oh and I'll be off at 430 every day, and in the off chance I'm not I'll be getting over time"
Her eyes got huge.
She locked herself in her office for 2 hours after that.
How's the air in there today - is she in war mode or scared mode?
Truthfully she's too busy today. She's not doing anything confrontational yet, because she's on vacation tomorrow, friday and monday, so they kinda need me here. Tuesday she'll be in full blown *kitten* mode, no doubt about it.
I'm not trying to sound conceded, but nobody here does what I do, so it'll be interesting on how they replace me, since I perform 2 separate job functions which could very easily be taken as a conflict of interest, since I'm purchasing person who manages the receiving personnel, I could easily buy something and then receive it myself and no one would be the wiser until months later when reviewing their quarterly PNL. I've stopped being a dishonest person a long time ago though.
If they were smart they'd hire a warehouse supervisor and a purchasing clerk instead of trying to get someone to do the hybrid position I was doing. And 90% of my job really was all about managing my manager. I will not miss the 800 phone calls a day. I literally hate using the phone because of how many phone calls I get in a day.

I am finally caught up...for now. I have several confessions to make so bare (just kidding) with me.
1. My step-daughter (the one that lost the baby) and her boyfriend broke up on Mother's Day, so she will be living with us for the time being. The being may be several years because she's wanting to go to college and can't afford to do so living on her own. I have all the emotions about this.
2. My cat that I've had for over 10 years has been missing since last week. We live in kind of a wooded area with coyotes and hoot owls along with other creatures and I'm afraid he became dinner for something. The confession part; I'm not as torn up about his possible demise as I rightly should be. I feel terrible about that but I think it's because of all the other "stuff" I have going on right now.
3. The flight is booked, resort reservations are made, and rental car is reserved for my husband and I's 15 year anniversary trip. We are going to Siesta Key, Florida for 7 days and I am super excited and terrified simultaneously. I have only flown once, when I was 5, have never been to the beach (live in Kansas), am extremely pale (see above) so I'll probably be horribly sunburned, and it will unfortunately be during my TOM, so that's going to be horribly uncomfortable.
4. I have spent the last 3+ hours catching up on this thread as I was terribly behind because of having been so busy last week.
I'm sure there are a lot more, but I really should attempt to do some sort of work today.
How old is your step-daughter? Good for her for wanting to go to college, but I can clearly see how you'd have mixed feelings about that.
Sorry about your cat! Hope it either returns home safely or had a quick, painless demise.
Enjoy the anniversary trip! Depending on birth control, can't you take something to avoid TOM one time so that you don't have to worry about it? I had a medical procedure done as soon as I was done having kids (and had my tubes tied) because there was NO way I was going to deal with periods for the rest of my life.
She is 19, but dropped out of high school so she'll have to get her GED or diploma equivalent first. I have no idea how long that takes. I am also really happy she wants to go to college. I don't know how to feel because my husband is just really excited that he gets to make up somewhat for not being in her life all these years.
Thanks. I hope he comes back or is in kitty heaven. He probably isn't, because he was a jerk, but he was my jerk and I love him.
I thought about the birth control thing specifically for that reason. I'm not currently taking anything, but I may talk to my doctor about that before my trip. I don't really want to have to deal with that nonsense while trying to enjoy my first time on a beach at the ocean. Plus having to have the supplies in my carryon, no thanks.
