He's probably better at that than singing.

Ha ha. No doubt.

As a child.
Also mentioned "irrational fear".
She speaks 3 languages fluently but had an irrational fear of sharks as a child, WHAT A NITWIT!!
Choose your battles wisely.

What was annoying was her insistent talking about her phobia, replete with an impression of a JAWS soundtrack.

I was going to call her an insipid self-involved tri-lingual redundant cunt, but thought that was a bit harsh, hence "nitwit." Ferguson had to share some of the blame for not derailing her to a different topic (my reason for mentioning Snyder.) I couldn't tell if he was actually interested in the topic or just amplifying it for humor.

Battles? I see none here. Metaphorical or otherwise.

.... her shark phobia.

FOR CHRIST'S SWEET SAKE, SHE TALKED ABOUT A FEAR OF SHARKS APPEARING IN LANDLOCKED SWIMMING POOLS.

Irrational fear?
Have you ever heard of this clever species, posing as a vacuum salesman or a pizza guy?
I will never answer the door again!

Just clicked on a MSN "10 Fashion Styles That Should Never Come Back" story on my homepage.  I am DEEPLY annoyed by snarky 25-year-olds riffing on what a bunch of losers everyone was for wearing stuff that they helped make popular in the 2000's (Oh, so very long ago!).  I am annoyed that so much of the time the entire country waits with bated breath for the opinions of people who haven't even been out of high school for a decade.  Having said that, yes, I hope UFO shorts (gigantically baggy shorts for men that go to the ankles) NEVER come back.

Similarly, I get annoyed that we allow a group of 60-something country-club drunks and ex-frat-boys to dictate how the world should work. 

As I've said before on this forum (quoting Shirley Jackson), "Hell is other people."

It disturbs me how spot-on this is, and that I never thought of it before.

Why the hell, if you are a 25-year old man, on a day when it is 43F, raining, and with a 15-knot wind off the ocean, do you go out to do business as a liquor distributor wearing shorts, flip-flops, Gator jacket, backwards baseball hat and a douche-bag beard?

for the same reason a person would wear a toupee whilst host a radio show and asks if if a person has an escalator to the top of a volcano, angels and aliens. portals (anal sex?!?) to "somewhere else", and any other inane question that crosses his mind; all while eating a turkee sammich and/or exploding pizza rolls.

The use of 'Awesome' when it's only mildly noteworthy, and not even really interesting except to the person who is saying it.

My house mate met a girl two weeks ago and thinks he is in love. I am not impressed. She moved here recently, and the night I met her, she kept bitching about how Virginia doesn't pay out as much welfare as Michigan. Lovely. And I got to hear about her 4 DWI's, jail time, and the various fights she has been in, and her abusive ex/ babydaddy. All within 30 minutes of meeting her. In other words, she is a real class act.

A week after meeting her, he paid her rent. His kids came down this past weekend for their bi-monthly visit, and he spent all his time making out with her while his boys babysat her obnoxious three year old. WTF???  I am sure his boys had a lovely time, especially considering the fact he told them they were going to rent 4wheelers for the weekend Guess he didn't have the money, since he paid her rent and has been spending all his money on her and her kids. One of his boys is 13, so witnessing his father panting all over some random chick had to be especially embarrassing for the poor guy. It also annoys me that he had already introduced his kids to different girl he was dating a month ago.

The funny thing is, he claims to be all hardcore Tea Party Patriot. In fact, when he drinks, he talks about being watched by the FBI for involvement with an online patriot group. Yeah, right. Delusional much? Her values don't quite match up with his supposed values. She is the embodiment of everything he is supposed to hate, right? All he can see is a younger chick who is interested in him. News Flash: She's not interested in you, she is taking advantage of you. I am so annoyed.

He is an old friend of my husband's and my husband plans on talking to him. It was supposed to be tonight, but guess where he is? He is so up this chick's ass, he is making a total fool of himself. He met this girl online. Kinda funny how she managed to meet him just before her eviction notice, don't ya think? I get the feeling he won't see it that way. And what does he think? That she will somehow grow magic money before her rent is due next month, and the next, and the next? But he is in looove and wants to heeelp her. Puke.

We don't have kids, so it is weird planning to call him out on how he treated his kids this past weekend, but I think my husband and I are totally in the right on this. He just got visitation shortly before we moved in 3 months ago. He is fucking up. Big time. I hope it doesn't get ugly, but someone needs to kick his ass back into reality. Bitch gotta go.

Sorry this got a bit ranty. I am very, very annoyed. But, now I feel a bit better
I edited to remove some language and to tone down the vitriol. I was pretty worked up! 

the vagina is a powerful thing.

not to sound curt, but take my advice:  you and your husband should mind your own business.  first off, your husband's idiot friend is not going to listen to what either of you have to say on this matter.  ever.  you "don't know her the way he does."  his relationship with her will end only when something else causes it to end... but it won't be your husband's words.  also, there's no upside for your husband whatsoever in getting involved.  his friend is a grown man and can manage his own affairs.  if your husband wants to continue the friendship with this guy, he should just stay out of it.  nothing good will come of this.

This.

I have done some crazy, out of character, ignore all common sense, not listen to gut feel, disregard advice from close friends and family, just for the slight possibility of being even adjacent to one.

I am annoyed by clueless newbies who somehow land here, make no effort to learn the point and purpose of this forum or its unofficial dynamics, but then have no hesitation about throwing elbows, issuing demands, and being all-around arseholes.

We were all newbies once.  Newbies are essential to keep this forum fresh.  But don't be dicks.
