Facebook; Complaintbook PART 2

Many people really enjoyed my outlook on Facebook and the way that our society seems to use it, luckily you all kept posting dumb things on social media, so I get to keep my comments coming.

Once again, the weather. This winter has been filled with numerous snowfalls, freezing cold temperatures, and high winds. Now, was anyone that read that sentence unaware of that factor? No? I didn't think so, so why do many people feel the need to constantly ramble about the weather on their Facebook. "Oh gee, its another cold one" -not interesting. Maybe if you posted something like "What a snowfall, it was so cold while shoveling I got frostbite and lost three of my toes!" That would really grab peoples attention and get you all of the "likes" you want.

Relationships, relationships, relationships. Why does no one seem to understand that no one cares about how terrible your love life is? If you feel the need to justify your relationship all over the internet, chances are it probably isn't much of a great relationship to begin with. It is nice to post something like "Happy two years babe, love you!" But when you do something like "2 years, nine months, and 13 days ago I met the most amazing guy. He is not only my boyfriend, but my best friend. I don't care what everyone says we are meant to be, cant wait to spend forever with you" it becomes a little excessive and people get annoyed, there are direct messages, text messages, emails, phone calls, etc for a very good reason, so we are not constantly berated with your relationship BS.

Selfies, there is nothing wrong with the occasional selfie. These can happen when you're about go out and you're looking fresh, but is the "Im so bored at work" selfie needed, or the "sad face" selfie, or even the "no makeup selfie" Why does anyone care if you are wearing make up or not? Or is it that you want everyone to know "this is how good I look with no make up on"?

So the message I have attempted to give continues, keep Facebook fun, post random things about your day and some cute pictures of you and your friends. Why did it have to become a place to complain about everything in the world, why do you think your whole friend list cares about your political opinion, or the fact that you just got off of an eight hour shift and you're so tired.

 

PS: Sorry about your March madness bracket, hearing about that is super interesting as well. ;)

Let me take a selfie..

OH MY LORD. It really irritates me what people can make money off of. Recently, a youtube video has blown up and has even begun to play on popular radio stations, this "song" is called "#SELFIE". We are all guilty of taking the occasional selfie, some of us are guilty of taking six a day but now there is even a song about it, the musical group is called "the chain smokers" In case you have been living under a rock, take a second to look at this video.

Ladies, lets not let this be our anthem. This is why we are not taken seriously.. maybe this video will help us all to see how ridiculous we look and sound when on social media. After watching it I realized that I should keep the #Saturdayselfie and the "duck faces" to a minimum! When you watch this video are you guilty of doing and saying these things? No Shame!

PDA

Well, I am back and I felt as though my first post back should be something that has been annoying me lately, which is PDA, (Public Displays of Affection) or as I like to call it SHP (Silently Humping in Public)

I think in some couples heads they think when they are going out.. "everyone wants to watch us on top on each other tonight". Even at school people are constantly going at it all over campus. Why is it that anyone thinks that this is appropriate? Does it run through peoples minds that when they have their tongues down each others throats that they are going to win US weekly's couple of the year?

So here are my guidelines to being a "cute couple" in public

1. A smooch is okay.
2. Holding hands is precious.
3. Girl stay off his lap!
4. It's a dance floor, not a hip hop video, unless you're Lil Wayne's new extra have some respect for yourself!
5. Sit across from each other! Nothing is more irritating than when a couple sits on the same side of a booth when they are on a date, get a room!

Remember it looks like you're searching for PDA (Publicly Desperate for Attention)

  

You were cute until...

I think I speak for most women in this blog. Here are a few things that the men in our lives do that makes them seem not so attractive anymore.

You were cute until... video games became the center of your universe.
You were cute until... you told me your mom was your best friend.
You were cute until... you got too drunk at my family party and embarrassed me.
You were cute until... I found that new One Direction song on your playlist.
You were cute until... I saw your recent internet search history.
You were cute until... you left the no toilet paper in the bathroom.. and I didn't realize till after I sat down
You were cute until... you left the toilet seat up.
You were cute until... you ate the last Oreo.
You were cute until... you forgot our anniversary.
You were cute until... you forgot your wallet when we were out to eat.
You were cute until... you cried during finding nemo.
You were cute until... you commented on my driving.
You were cute until... you gave me a Dutch oven.

Give a little bit..

I would like to start this blog by saying that I am fortunate enough to work in a restaurant where we have many regulars that love us and treat us respectfully and leave us more money than we sometimes deserve. We also are treated well by our bosses and enjoy going to work. Unfortunately, previously I worked in a chain restaurant I will not say which one it was, you're only clue is that it is a day of the week.

This place was awful. I will not go into detail about the long terrible hours we worked and made barely any money, the corporate standards with the ridiculous rules, or how they liked to take away any form of individuality that you have.

I would like to go into detail about how people do not know how to tip when they are at a chain restaurant so I would like to give you some facts and rules for when you are out at a chain restaurant.

1. Tip 20%; if your server sucks chances are they are busy with other people, they are in the kitchen trying to make sure your order goes out properly, or they are doing the abundance of "side work" they have to do to keep the restaurant working.
2. When you have a coupon; tip 20% before the coupon would have been applied. If you're getting a free entrée why not tip on the original bill, it's the nice thing to do.
3. Don't yell at your server, chances are they are having a worse day than you are.
4. CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR CHILDREN. I am not your babysitter, chances are I do not want to clean your kids crushed up mac and cheese and French fries off of the ground.
5. Tip a little extra if you come in 10 minutes before the kitchen closes, show the appreciation your server deserves, they have to stay there extra time because you decided it was best to eat dinner at one in the morning.
6. Last but not least, these people are making 2.13 and hour! THEY NEED YOUR MONEY!

Tis the Season...

Something I feel as though I need to address in this blog is something that may offend some of you. The holiday's are vastly approaching and when they do something starts to happen that I absolutely cannot stand! This is when parents decide it is a fabulous idea to send everyone and their mother a Christmas card with a picture of their children on it.

For example, I'm referring to something like this..

It is great that your family is so cheerful, but what the heck am I going to do with this picture? Should I hang it around my house with the other 500 I receive? Maybe frame this one because your family is so special? No, I am going to put it in a drawer and the next time I clean out that drawer (which could be years down the line) I am going to throw away this picture.

I don't think anyone has put serious thought into these cards, think about what you're saying; "Merry Christmas, here's a picture of my children" I think to myself, shit you read my list extremely wrong. If you are important to me ill see you, if I don't want to see you I certainly don't want a picture of your whole family delivered to my house. If you really want to show you are thinking of me for the holidays be my guest! Send me a card with some form of currency in it!

Black Friday

Ah this is the time of the year when we all give thanks. Some are thankful for their loved ones, others are thankful for that great new promotion at work, and some are thankful just for life in general and all of the great things they have gone through the past year. Then after that great day of giving thanks, we ruin it by trampling each other at the mall to get T.V.'s, laptops, and the clothing items we so desperately desire.

I for one would never go out on black Friday, because it involves two things I typically do not get a ton of enjoyment out of; people and shopping. People let their crazy out on black Friday more than a girl when she finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her. People have actually died on this day from being trampled on, its insane!

I truly believe that this day is called black Friday because that is the color the shoppers souls turn as they relentlessly attempt to get the big screen T.V. and Xbox One.

My suggestion to you readers is stay home and continue to hang out with that family you're so thankful for, make a turkey sandwich with all of the leftovers you have, and begin to watch Christmas movies to get you in the spirit. Then on Monday you can participate in cyber Monday, you get most of the deals without having to leave the comfort of your own home.
