MFP New Years Resolutions (the lighter side)
Replies

Oh oh! I shall try not to get an eye twitch every time I see people saying they "weight" everything instead of the correct "weigh". Seriously, when did that become such a common mistake.
I'm also enjoying the irony of a responder using loose incorrectly but will not quote them in an attempt to be nice............or nicer.
I have managed though, to start a comment and then delete it about aforementioned FB friend doing the "chemical diet" to lose a stone in a week. It's taking immense willpower though not to rattle off a bunch of science to debunk the nonsense.0 -
I shall not bristle when I see "loose" for "lose" or less calories instead of fewer calories
The word derp shall not pass my lips
Yours (shall we take weight and fitness as a given)
Definitely DO NOT turn on your tv's captions for a while. On the new Oprah Weight Watchers commercials where she talks about "2016 is the year of your best body" (whatever that means). She talks about losing weight. The captions repeatedly say loosing weight lol.0 -
I will not silently mock and condemn college students who wait and wait to take the elevator DOWN one flight.0

Cheers, h.
Oh yeah. I need to stay away from the forums during PMS. Really.0 -
I shall continue to cheer for Man City.
I shall purchase a Watford shirt(who doesn't want to look like a bumble bee?!?)
I shall continue my Sunday run past a Chelsea fan just to wave and encourage him. He continues to let me know "I am #1" with the wrong finger.
I shall continue to learn how to say thank you, order beer and chicken, in a new language.
I shall work at making my diet resemble the rainbow. And avoid skittles
I, shall continue, to use, the comma , , , , ,button.,.,,,,, in a variety of new ways.

I resolve to not immediately think "is it me?" when a poster says "there is a certain poster who..."
Unless it really is me...
Resolution failed.0 -

Ooh, this is hard for me. I work at the top of a building and share an elevator bank with a business that takes up 5 floors and had an internal staircase and despite having an internal staircase for their use employees are constantly taking the elevator one or two floors, which makes it take longer for everyone else. I judge liberally and exchange judging looks with others who work near the top of the building. I suppose I should resolve to stop this.0 -
I also resolve not to argue with people who come through the drive thru at work and complain that McDonald's portion sizes are too big and that's why we have an obesity epidemic.
No, moron, we have an obesity epidemic because you can't be bothered to drive across our parking lot and go to walmart to buy food and take it home and cook it. Or because you think you need a double quarter pounder three times a day every day. Ooorrrr...
Surprised i haven't gotten fired yet. I suppose that's the good part of being a manager....everyone just leaves me alone when i say horrible things to the idiots.0 -

Skittles are the worst anyway and should be avoided0 -
I resolve to stop judging the poor grammar choices of people who claim to have high level educations and professional careers.
Oh wait, I don't believe in New Year's resolutions

I resolve to be even more obnoxious when I see someone leave their cart in the parking lot when the cart return is only 10 feet away.0

Or when they leave it right next to it instead of walking 3 feet around the rail to put it in.
I have a deep scratch in my door because of someone too lazy to walk a couple feet.
Ok deep breaths lol
Withdraw vs withdrawal will probably be my next online correction since I'm seeing it more often. And draw instead of drawer. I don't get that one at all.

I shall continue to show up for work on a daily basis even tho my depression keeps wanting me to give up on everything and sleep in the bath tub with a bottle of wine as the rest of my life falls to pieces around me
I think I might need help.
Edit: oops this was supposed to be a lighter side resolution?0 -
I *will* stick to my exercise plan. I *will* run a 5k without walking. I *will* tackle the teenage cram it in there tidy up cupboard at the bottom of my bed. Well... if I can survive the avalanche after opening the door

Actually a car pushed a loose cart into my car not too long ago. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed (turned out that I knew the driver too).0 -
I resolve to continue not to respond to posters who use 'txtspeak' and compose entire posts without capitalization or punctuation. Reading the posts makes me feel like I'm on speed - "hey guise do u thnk i shd eat mor protein i lik vegies 2 but nly 4 brkfst wht do u thnk do u lk them 2 k thx"
But I'll still sit here and roll my eyes and mourn the death of literacy.0 -

Kudos to you if you can decode it the first time you read it. Those posts and ones where every sentence ends with an emoji irritate me.0 -

Oh! I'm adding this little gem to my memory. Thank you.

I have a variety depending on the situation. The most common is just pointing out where the return is. Or I ask if they need help. I do this knowing they might have a legit excuse.
Super obnoxious, I know. I may not be a nice person.0 -

Might be a lighter side, but I think yours is a good goal. Not letting the desire to quit take over is a damn fine aspiration.0 -

Shop at Aldi. Gotta return the carts to get your quarter back! Genius.

I do something similar if I pull up next to someone who I observed not using their turn signal. "Excuse me. Did you know your turn signal isn't working?"0 -

Yeah. They're starting to pop up here just outside of DC, but still not convenient. I will drive the distance if I have enough items to get. Aldi makes shopping at a "regular" grocery store almost infuriating!!

And most UK supermarkets. I have a "trolley coin" for just the purpose, lives on my keyring so I don't have to scratch around for change. Also, it's £1, so a lot more to lose than a quarter!0
