Festivus "Airing of grievances"

[Betticus]

Allright.. I gotta say it.. Since I tend to catch up on the online news sites in the middle of the night at work.

I could be happy never seeing or hearing of this Kim Kardashian person ever again.

And something that just really gives me the urge to go and strip a person bare of all their walls and defenses and the lies they used to build them a fake persona to hide behind and justify their hellish sickness and to then throw them naked into a pack of half starved honey badgers....

This. Their defense, it was BDSM and consensual. The prosecution is bringing in an expert witness who is a forensic psychiatrist. The defense is bringing in their own expert witness, a lawyer in San Francisco who is in the BDSM community.

Let's all just totally ignore the fact that her ordeal began as a mentally deficient sixteen year old runaway because beginning the mental conditioning of a minor who isn't mentally fully competent is just a normal part of BDSM I guess so it's totally ok.

Also, it is a well known fact that teenage girls all just can't help but to wantonly sexually desire creepy ass middle aged losers because .. it is just a normal part of BDSM. Maybe as part of the sentencing they could give this guy over to a group of people who are actually highly experienced BDSM Masters you know.. because that's got to just be a normal part of BDSM but that one would be ok with me.

Those people redefine scum, agreed. However I hope you don't mind my new sig.

That's great.. I'm seriously beginning to develop a strong dislike for that woman and I also have concluded that our society is really screwed up in that they have conditioned the majority to value physical attractiveness over the totality of the person. That beauty will fade in time and if you have fallen for this notion then when you are older you will find yourself miserable and with someone you don't like when with just a little dose of reality you could have found, fallen for and been with someone who was your best friend, lover, confidante, partner, and who you could grow old with and never feel anything but blessedly lucky.

I also kind of have a thing against bitches that are too pretty. I totally fall for ones who are super smart, cute and laugh whenever the mood strikes. Making me a sammich once in a while doesn't hurt either. She also absolutely has to taste good, hard limit.

Good lord I get weird when I'm sleep deprived.

only when you're sleep deprived?
lol!

The defense is bringing in their own expert witness, a lawyer in San Francisco who is in the BDSM community.

And they expect him to say what, I wonder? if he is really in the "BDSM community" -- especially in San Fransisco where consent was kind of pioneered-- he isn't going to do the defense any good at all.

if he DOES do the defense any good at all, I think his name will become widely disseminated amongst the BDSM community.

I also kind of have a thing against bitches that are too pretty.

Because they are bitches, or because they are pretty?

Is an ugly bitch okay with you? How about a woman who is too pretty but not a bitch?

You think hard. Bish just annoys me, would be sexy with a brain transplant.

I can see where my choice of words was in error.

Over time the things in a person that hold value and meaning for me and that bring me the most fulfillment have shifted from my ignorance in my younger years. I like to be around people who are good and fun and smart.

 

[marieR19]

I think I get that. I *look* at the "pretty girls", the sexy ones, I might even dream about them... But any relationship I've ever been in has been with people I *fit* with, regardless of looks.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Agreed-- with both of you

And actually, what I see and go "ooh sexy" doesn't look anything like it did when I was in my twenties.

*thinks about that*

*crosses it out*

*writes it again*

Well-- maybe.

 

[Ahlam]

Most of my grievances have already been aired. It's nice to be reminded that I'm not the only one thinking these things.

"Loud eaters!!!!!!!! ... I think this is my greatest pet peeve of all. No eating noise.... Just, NO!" --loverskitten

Agreed. This drives me to distraction-- and not in the good way! What exacerbates this annoyance is mouth-breathing while eating noisily. I catch myself imagining the offensive eater choking on his sloppily masticated morsel, turning purple in the face while clutching at his throat, and then sliding limply under the table in a dead heap before he can order dessert.

"...If there IS a hell, its December." --Netzach

YES. It's just too much muchness. I daydream about digging a hole and shoving my head into it until "the holidays" are over.

"Going out to dinner and watching every couple around me play with their phone rather than engage with each other..." --lovecraft68

One word-->rude. I see this everywhere and I think it is awful too. Anything could happen around these people and they might not notice. I like to make weird/silly faces at them and I almost never get caught!

"I could be happy never seeing or hearing of this Kim Kardashian person ever again." --Betticus

This crap pisses me off every day. Legislation is being passed and people are slaughtering each other...but what flavor of breakfast cereal does Kim K. prefer to regurgitate? Priorities.

 

[Red Sonja]

Peppermint mocha. I know... I'm a heathen, but I prefer my coffee to taste like... *gasp* coffee.

 

[Loverskitten]

Peppermint mocha. I know... I'm a heathen, but I prefer my coffee to taste like... *gasp* coffee.

I'm guilty if this, not the peppermint whatever but butterscotch, and I do half reg. coffee and half flavored coffee. It's just a hint of flavor, no sugar or creme needed, YUMMM
My local donut shop know my order whenever I or my son come in, love it!

Reality break: peppermint and butterscotch do not in any way taste like coffee. What you two do to coffee is what the Y-chromosome blessed half of the population constantly wants to do the other half of the population. Only with less potential for a good outcome.

When I want flavoured froth, I order whatever frappe concoction is flavour of the month at Starbucks (minus the cream, even I can't take that much extra crap in my fake coffee)

If I want real coffee, I go the the little place in the station underpass arcade where they know my order and it never needs sugar.

Another pet peeve; Christmas cake. It's fruit cake spoiled with extra thick marzipan icing. And people get offended when I pick it off. I like to taste the wonderful alcohol soaked fruit and dense spiced batter thankyou very much, not the damn icing.

You misunderstood me!! Don't lump me in with Loverskitten in this regard. Although, I'm sure that there are many others we could lump wonderfully together in. I dislike peppermint mocha!! Peppermint mocha is my grievance that I would air. I prefer coffee that tastes like coffee. Not the gateway drug my college freshman daughter drinks...

Ah, my most humble apology, then. I'm of the coffee is best topped with air crowd; anything but black coffee is just a hot milkshake. You're back on my forever-good list.

YES! Can I make every guy taste like butterscotch.... Please!!!!!

I'd also like anus to taste like chocolate, thanks!

AGREED. Hate all flavored coffee crapista.

 

[intothewoods]

Most important grievance: poinsettas. FUH-UH-UGLY.

Terrible. Horrible. No good very bad foliage.

I think they're beautiful, especially the variegated variety. It's not a typical flower. It's like the green foliage got embarrassed. Well that's how I see em.

 

[marieR19]

I don't know if it's been mentioned already, but:
Stores that start playing Christmas music the first week of November (or earlier!).

I get REALLY sick of Christmas music REALLY fast, so to have all that crap start two months before Christmas.... UGH!

 

[DeepGreenEyes]

I like 'em too. Also drink (gasp) flavored coffees on occasion. Stand tall for hazelnut.

GASP!
A fellow fruitcake lover?!

I get so many weird looks, but I do love it so. Some equate fruitcake and the culinary lump of coal, but I think of it as golden-cakey-rummy-fruity taste of the holidays.

I do have to admit that I occassionally top a warmed hunk with a dollop of fresh whipped heavy cream.
