Okay here's another one of mine that's probably going to get me flamed: I generally assume people who don't like animals have something inherently wrong with them. that's because there is something wrong with these people! I was just having this conversation with someone in real life recently! We agreed that people who don't like animals are strange and not to be trusted. I get it if you can't have one because it doesn't fit into your lifestyle, but actively disliking the little buggers makes you weird.

Crazy bias - People who are constantly cleaning drive me insane. And, in my mind, they probably are annoying to live with and don't have many other hobbies. Which may or may not be true so it is a bias.

That's not a muffin top, that's a human sausage. ;D Years ago when I was a size 18, I knew a woman who claimed she was a size 18 also. She was easily 50-75lbs heavier than me. I can't imagine the work her clothes had to do to contain her body if she was truly buying size 18. there's my bias! People who claim a size they obviously aren't! So I should stop pretending to be a double-zero? is that what you are oh-so-subtly saying here, Meg?

Bis, I think it is more that some people weren't raised with animals. I wasn't allowed to have dogs growing up because my mom didn't like animals...but she wasn't allowed to have them growing up because her mom was afraid. I married a dog lover and I have had dogs ever since...they really are a part of my family. So I don't always assume the worst about someone that claims to not be an animal lover. I think people not raised with animals find it hard to understand the cononection.
Then again, I also find it weird that anyone would hate kids...yet there are quite a few of you here!lol

Again, I don't think everyone needs to have one of their very own, but I don't get why not ever having one would make you hate them? I don't HATE kids, I just don't want to have any.

Oh, I didn't actually mean you...I know you have step children that you are helping to raise. But I know there are posters on here who have said that they hate kids...I don't get it.
I think "hate" is a strong word...I never hated animals, I jsut never understood that they could be part of someone's family.

I assume that people who are "office martyrs" (oh, I was here until midnight on Sunday) really just don't know how to organize and multi-task.

But you all know who I mean! Sometimes I stay late or work over a weekend to finish something that needs done, but I don't bring it up at every staff meeting or every time I meet someone in the hallway. "Oh, I rushed and rushed and finished that on Sunday for them." "I was here until 2 a.m. printing those booklets for whatever." I don't buy it! ;D

I would prefer that people that don't want kids or animals never have them...it kills me to see either neglected or abused

I don't hate kids. I just don't want to hear them whining in a movie theater, in a nice restaurant, or while I am standing on a cruise ship trying to have a peaceful moment looking at a glacier (yes this happened - screaming kids everywhere and yes it annoyed the shit out of me). On the other hand I don't mind kids at all when I go to the zoo, SeaWorld, to the roller rink, ice skating rink or any of the other hundred places where kids are appropriate. People just don't seem to know where they should and should not bring their kids these days.

People who slow down to like 5 mph when merging! You don't slow down when you are getting on the freeway, you asshat! I also hate the people who walk across the street super slow when you are trying to turn. I swear to Tom Cruise, some of those people actually walk slower just to piss me off!
I also get really pissy about the way some women in the office dress. We have many women who constantly wear clothes at least 2 sizes too small for them. It looks terrible! I don't mind a flashy shirt, a tight skirt or some tall heels, when worn with other conservative pieces (i.e. a sparkly top with pants and blazer and pumps, or tall heels with a long pencil skirt and a tailored shirt), but flashy items shouldn't all be worn together or it looks like you are going to the club, not the conference room.
And don't even get me started on tattoos! Unless its a pretty little rose on your ankle when you are wearing said pencil skirt, COVER IT UP! If you decided to get a full sleeve of skulls with wings, but you still want to work in corporate america, at least invest in a wardrobe of long sleeved shirts. This is coming from a woman with 7 tattoos! I have a coworker who loves to wear short tight skirts, big heels, with a full sock tattoo, at our conservative company, she also has all kinds of metal shit in her face, she looks like a counter girl for LA Ink. Its only a matter of time before she will get canned. I'm pretty sure she scares off our customers.
I swear some of these young people have no idea how to dress in the corporate world (says the 32 year old). Rant over.

I'm ambivalent towards animals. I'd never want to hurt one or see one hurt... but after the dogs are not with us any more, i won't have another pet. It doesn't add the extra something to my life that it seems to add to other peoples.
I am actually rather ambivalent towards babies as well... i've learned to hide this one, as its less socially acceptable. Sure, they are cute. buy my awwwhhh moment is just about that, 3 seconds, tops, then i'd rather be talking about something else.... my husband is actually much, much better with babies than I am...
Taz... are you the one who said you had your thyroid checked? If not, maybe you should look into it as well...
