[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 257790, member: 1233"] Great thread idea! Hearing people chew. Whether it is crunching chips or slurping soup or just chewing in general. makes me vomit, literally! Eating a meal sitting near either my father or brother is torture. I generally can only eat a bite or two. It just grosses me out. husband is only bad if he forgets to eat normal size bites - he has a tendency to bite HUGE amounts. I just gently remind him that "It isn't going to run away." and he realizes what he is doing. People wearing smelly perfume/deodorant/lotion/whatever. It is a health issue for thank you and I. Stores/restaurants that spray lots of scent around or have lots of potpourri around. makes me refuse to stay or go back. (of course if it is a scent from the bakery baking bread or cake or something that is a whole different story - can't keep me away then!LOL!) Clothing for young ladies that exposes them or is tight/see through. It just is not attractive. The whole attitude that glamourizes pimps and 'hos. It bothers me right down to my soul. I would be mortified and furious if my children ever acted like this was a good thing. Jessie especially shares my horror at this trend. Shirts for young children that advertise that they are brats or adorable or whatever. Kids do not need shirts telling us they are brats, or cute, or princesses. Their behavior is what should show that. Bratz dolls. I see NOTHING good coming from making kids think it is a good idea to be a brat. No matter what the content of the tv show or the stories is, the name Bratz is enough to encourage kids to act out. The attitude that boys need to be tough, not cry, even when they are small children. if I hear another parent chastise a pre -k, kdg, or even 5th grader that they need to "stop crying, be a man, boys don't cry" I will scream. Boys have feelings. Often they are very intense feelings. They should not be belittled for that! People who push their kids to be in activities every day of the week, esp after a full day of school or even daycare. Lots of the kids here are in so many structured activities they don't know what to do with a free afternoon! No idea how to amuse themselves with-o a structured activity and this is just sad to me. the kids often seem overwhelmed and overtired also. No problem with it for kids who thrive on it. I just see lots of kids overbooked and overtired and acting like it. People who think I have a drug problem because I am in chronic pain and take medications for it. Especially when they work for a doctor or ARE a doctor. I don't have a drug problem, have even allowed myself to be evaluated for it and NEVER have they found a drug problem! But I can't seem to get proper treatment because the fear of opioid pain medications and the DEA. I have more peeves, I am sure. But this is enough. [/QUOTE]
