'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My annoyance is more with the customers behind me who shove the carts right into me. And if the have stroller carts or their kids in the baby seat, they shove even harder.
People actually do that? Poke you from behind with their carts? On purpose, or just out of complete and utter cluelessness and indifference to the fact that when they go out in public they're in close proximity to other actual humans? 'Cause, either way, blargh.
There's a word for the misguided belief that life was better when you were younger and that things today don't hold a candle to the wonderful things of yesterday.
Codgerism? Curmudgeonism?
The world is covered with germs -- money and door handles are much nastier than a hand.
I don't know your word, Susan, but I can see myself using it a LOT.
I put my bills and my change in seperate places so I dislike the hammock. It just makes it take longer for me to get out of the next person's way. That said, at the drive-thru taco shop place, I accept that the hammock is just about the only way it is going to happen and since they also give me taquitos, I'm good with the hammock.
Mostly I just don't like people in general though.
Reynolds said, "Willie ... is just about the nicest man I've ever worked with in my life, and when we worked together, I thought ... if [we'd hooked up], we'd still be 'happily together'"Their luv is so utterly strange.
I'm also annoyed with people who have a full cart of groceries but appear to be stunned and amazed that they have to get out a wallet or checkbook and actually pay for these things. It doesn't seem to occur to them to even start looking for a checkbook until after everything is rung up.
Their luv is so utterly strange.
Compared to Marlon Brando and Wally Cox? Rock Hudson and Jim Nabors? Danny Kaye and Laurence Olivier?

Yes.
Kind of, ew. Oh, well, like I know why people get together. "misguided nostalgia?" Susan? "Idealization"
Thanks, Hec. Have forwarded to DH to see if either is what he has in mind. (eta and erika)

The worst was when Stop and Shop's crack marketing team decided it'd be a great idea for each store to provide a few child-sized shopping carts that adorable little future shoppers could push around along side their parent, giving them the same opportunity to impulse buy as the grown-ups. Of course, that some of the little darlings would try to push the knee-high carts around corners at mach 1 never occurred to them. Or at least it didn't until the personal injury suits started trickling in, presumably. The carts vanished after a few months.
