    Size zero women who complain about how "fat" they are.

    What should my response be?
    1. "Yes, you are a horrible fat pig.".
    2. "No, you are size ZERO, SHUT THE F UP.".

    People who abuse or neglect animals and refuse to spay or neuter their animals! Idiots!

    Also when you go to an empty movie theater and the next people who come in have to sit right next to you, in front of you or behind you. WHY?

    Also, people who talk to themselves in grocery stores. Very annoying!

    Oh, and I hate when someone waves to you, you wave back, and then realize they were waving at the person behind you! Oops!

    Seeing the same topics show up over & over here on MFP as new people come aboard, but don't bother to use the
    search function or even read the #$)%(!@%& thread titles in some fora.
    Or they post in a completely unrelated forum.
    Or their intro post is one word: "hi".

    People who use "loose" instead of "lose". (Or pretty much any misspelling, really.)

    People who use "starvation mode" without understanding what it really is. Here's a really good article about the reality.

    People who say "fat weighs more than muscle".
    People who believe it.

    People who think anecdote outweighs scientific research.

    People who ignore or deliberately misread/misunderstand research. (I gave links to several studies saying that eating
    a large breakfast, medium lunch, and small dinner leads to more weight loss than the other way around, which is
    the typical US plan), and somebody said, "well, I guess I should gain back the 154 lb I lost!". Um, no, obviously what
    you did worked OK. What the research is saying is that it could have been faster, or easier.

    The phrase coming down the pike. I know it is valid, but i've always known it as coming down the pipe and whenever i hear the former i want to punch the person in the face.

    The use of the word retarded... in reference to someone who isn't.
    Just had a conversation about this a couple days ago.
    I wouldn't use it to describe a person, because that's seen a wrong & insensitive, not PC.
    I do use it to describe my phone, which is a fairly old model and its processing speed isn't speedy.
    In other words, it's slow.
    Retarded = slow.
    I'm using the word correctly.
    But I still wouldn't say it outside of a few people who know me & understand that I mean it it the
    literal sense of the word, and am using it correctly, and would not use it as an insult.

    Stupidity... So about 90% of human beings.
    Depends on the person's IQ.
    To someone in Mensa, 98% of the population is less smart.
    To someone in Intertel, 99% of the population is less smart.

    Dealing with someone of average intelligence would be like someone of average intelligenge dealing with
    someone who has an IQ of 70 or less... which is very frustrating. (That's about 2 SD above & below the median.)

    This thread annoys me now. People can't speak their minds without being categorized as sexist, racist, retarded or whatever.

    This might be a regional thing, goodness knows that I never encountered it until moving to Nebraska 5 years ago....
    Women that greet their friends - their FRIENDS - with such endearing comments as, "Hey, hooker!", What's up, B1tch?", etc.
    I made it clear, in a big ol' hurry, that I would not tolerate this nor answer to these types of descriptors! Blows my mind!

    I recently had eye surgery and wore my shades inside because my eye looked gross. I was doing it for everyone else's benefit but still felt like a *kitten*. Hard line to walk sometimes.

    *kitten* it I'll just say everything makes me irrationally angry and be done with it. Next thing I know I will be getting messages saying how I need therapy, which will in turn make me even more angry and then it will turn into a vicious cycle

    ....Welllll then, you are exempt sir! Hope you're healing and all that...I'm sure you did not possess the "I can't actually look at the garments/things" attitude that goes along with the regular ppl who wear shades inside on purpose for no good reason :)

    What do you mean "people who microwave cereal?!" Does such a thing exist? I can't help but grin at this comment... all of the mental images. Surely you mean hot cereal, like oatmeal???
