These are measurements for volume.
1 cup is 8 oz
3/4 cup is 6 oz
1/2 cup is 4 oz
1/3 cup is 2 1/3 oz
1/4 cup is 2 oz
Then you get into Tablespoons and teaspoons which are 1 oz and less.
Some people like to use measuring cups and some like to weigh. I prefer to use a food scale and weigh out everything in grams. I only use measuring cups if my scale is broken.
Lol I am familiar as I said on my post. :laugh:0 -

A: I'm going slowly!

I know a lot of ppl don't like dentists or going but I like my teeth so it doesn't bother me to go. :laugh:Dentistry and people who b1tch about the car being blocked in by snow/ice, but don't lift a hand to go shovel it out.0 -
I hate it when people get legitimately upset over what other people put in their food/exercise diary. Like, why do you care?12

We have ALL of these people too. I'm a former New Yorker so I use my horn when needed, unfortunately I have to use it more in MPLS than I ever did in NYC.
My personal favorite is:
A: Drives straight forward through a green light.
B: Cuts A off to make a left turn.
A: HONK!!!
B: Stop in the middle of the intersection and look around with a confused look to figure out where that offensive noise came from...
A: Screams in car, "THAT WAS MEANT FOR YOU @*^#&!!! GET OUT OF THE @*&$#^@%$ INTERSECTION!!!"6 -

I'll be driving along and someone behind me approaches fast, and changes lanes to pass me only when they're close enough to ram me! If they want to pass me, fine, but do you have to attempt to take my taillight with you? It's like they're saying "You're too *kitten* slow so I'll run you over!"
I live in the Los Angeles area.6 -
I also hate when people don't pick up their dog's poop. One of the schools in my area had the students make these pictures and they hung them all over the corner where the bus stop is. There's about 100 of them hanging out there. It's amazing!

Is it sad the whole time I read this I was thinking "I love driving in Minneapolis"? I visit there a few times a year and it just seems... even if people don't follow the rules... they all know the rules. Opposed to my area where people don't even know where a lane is or what a stop sign (which blatantly say "Stop" and in some places even says "Stop/Arret") means.
My favourite (not) thing was the other week I was following someone on my street, trying to get to the main street. They were going 20 km/h (yes, KM per h not miles per hr) which was BRUTAL (speed limit is 50 km/h) and then they didn't even pause or slow down at the stop sign and I was like WTF!? Nor did they signal. And they gave me a dirty look when I passed them in the other lane.
@crooked_left_hook those signs are awesome! Someone on my street actually printed a sign saying "I hate seeing your dog's *kitten*. Pick up your dog's *kitten*!", put the signs in plastic clear sleeves, taped them to sticks and put about 20 of them down the street beside every turd they saw. It was amazing.5 -
People who come to a complete stop to or slow down for a stupidly long time before making a right-hand turn.8

These are measurements for volume.
1 cup is 8 oz
3/4 cup is 6 oz
1/2 cup is 4 oz
1/3 cup is 2 1/3 oz
1/4 cup is 2 oz
Then you get into Tablespoons and teaspoons which are 1 oz and less.
Some people like to use measuring cups and some like to weigh. I prefer to use a food scale and weigh out everything in grams. I only use measuring cups if my scale is broken. I will add, sometimes depending on the density of a certain item the weight may not be 8 oz for a cup.
You beat me to it.
BTW, a dash is about ten drops..
I prefer volume measurements for everything but bread. I can eyeball volume measurements, but I have no idea what a "gram" looks like. It's a more "organic" way of cooking; doing things by eye, and by taste.
eta: oh! and if anyone is wondering, a measuring cup is eight fluid ounces, not weighed ounces.6 -

actually its only the FIRST bite that tastes phenomenal. Enjoyment goes down hill afterward. I went to a party this weekend and ate half servings of everything. BOY was that steamed pudding not worth it.1 -

a cup is 8 ounces by volume. I know that in Europe they weigh cooking ingredients.

Why DO people post questions here that they could look up FASTER than we would respond? Or the I weigh 121 pounds and want a loose one pound. It's been a week and a half. What's wrong?7

I hate that I weigh the lowest I ever have in my adult life...but still think I'm fat

There may only be one bite indeed if I unhinge my jaw as usual.5 -
People who just want to do nothing and then complain about their weight.3
-
People who can't walk right. It's a tunnel/hallway, and it's crowded. There are three of you and you're moseying along, side by side, doing a little lunchtime sightseeing or something, completely oblivious to the swarm of people backed up behind you or trying to walk around you, because we want to get to work/meeting/lunch/whatever before Thursday.
Even more fun when one of you sees something vaguely interesting and you all just STOP right there in the middle.14 -

Yes.
And also people who complain about being single and then half *kitten* everything that could actually help them successfully find someone (i.e. they actually want to remain single but are trying to convince themselves they don't want to be single).4 -
I hate when people turn to others with their drama and create their own pity party... sigh! I believe a lot in the energy that you are able to give to others, and that is certainly not the energy to have at all.2

When you're out jogging and you're on the other side of the path, which is quite wide, about as wide as a street (especially in the park near me which is a lovely tree-lined loop), and people don't reign their dogs in that are on retractable leashes. I've literally had to jump over several tiny pooches, and had dogs lunge at me because owners don't reign them in. I can understand letting them have free reign if there aren't many people out, but on busy days it's not safe...to the dog or other people. End of rant...lol. And I am a dog owner as well so it's not that I have anything against dogs. I believe most of the dogs are friendly but it's still startling!8
-
I hate when someone posts on a forum asking a simple question, then someone comes along and writes a wall of text all about themselves. I saw one recently, it was a weight loss question and the second poster wrote all about her mother passing away, how big she was when she found mfp, how many pregnancies she had had, how that affected her appetite, blah blah blah it went on and on and then vaguely addressed that actual question in the last paragraph. Narcissists, hate em!4

People who hate the dentist. Get to hear about that all day long. If you hate me so much pick up floss more than 2x a year.15

Hehe... It's not that I hate dentists... it's that I'm terrified of them
But I do give fair warning that I get panic attacks and that I bite (the *kitten* who caused me to be terrified of dentists deserved it
, his colleagues who get to pick up the pieces less so... for which I do apologize). According to my current dentist (bless his patience), I've made quite a bit of progress on both of those issues.
PS: I floss daily, brush my teeth 3x daily, am generally very careful not to damage them, and go for a check-up every 6 months (less painful to fix small issues than major ones). I drew the *kitten*card in the genetic lottery...
So I guess... I can say I hate genetics
