Kid in commercial “these Pop Tart Crisps have both filling and frosting!”

So they are basically just Pop Tarts with an extra word added to the name?

When people use the word "literally" wrong. The other day someone kept saying "literally" when she meant "metaphorically"
Thanks for this!

when you're sitting their trying to spell a word, you can't spell it so decide to get google to help- but then your spelling of it is so bad that not even google recognizes it

I have a hell of a time with this- especially when it comes to items on my shoppping list

when conversation dries up so much that when you're with someone you always talk about the same thing

it's almost like watching video playback

people who correct me, even if what they say is correct.

I hate it even more when it's like the only thing they can go on about

when you go on websites and people use the most original usernames

usernames that just say everything about them.
john from texas, for example, or john the musician.

you can pick any username in the world.. why be so unoriginal

At work we were supposed to have our own garbage bin, and then take our own garbage out. My coworker was too lazy to do that. She just used my garbage bin instead of her own. Well, what she did was fill up her own, then she was lazy and didn’t take it back and then just continued to fill mine the rest of the day. Also she didn’t help with taking it out. So I was doing that all day too.

I hate it when someone says "What?". It frustrates the hell out of me because I had two parents who were a combination of hard of hearing and just plain didn't want to listen to anyone. I had to repeat EVERYTHING I said, even if I was in close proximity. On the part of my father, he thought he was superior to the rest of the planet, so in his case it was a combination of hard of hearing and surrounding humans not being important enough to listen to. It ALSO makes me question myself. Do I have a speech impediment? Do I not enunciate clearly? In fact, I am responding to this because I yelled at my co-worker today. I had a bad day and he did not hear what I said ad it just sent me over the edge. Now I have to eat crow and apologize.

^^ I understand. In fact, the time I'm most likely to get that "WHAT?" is when I have laryngitis. It was painful enough for me to say it the first time! Quit making me repeat it!

I took to solving that problem by activating the text-to-speech voice on Microsoft Word. Then I go to the computer and type out what I need to say. If they're close enough, they can read it over my shoulder. If not, I can hit the Speak button, and let the Voice say it for me.
Thanks for this!

When people ask you a question and then get mad that you answered it. Or make a big deal out of your answer. Like, you’re the one who asked. what was the point of bringing it up if you were just going to complain or have an attitude about it?

Also people who talk about stuff but get mad when people answer. someone who I knew would often say “I am having such a bad day.” And then someone would ask him what was wrong. And he would say “I don’t want to talk to about it” then why the **** are you talking aloud about it? It’s the same on Facebook. This person complains about being upset but snaps when someone try’s to talk to her about it. Don’t post stuff like that and get mad when people react to it then.

I got made fun of a lot in elementary school because I had a lisp and a speech impediment that makes it hard for me to talk loudly. and my clothes were not name brand and came from Walmart. My classmates were brutal. I still talk the same, and I still get reminded of it by rude people. The being made fun of for my clothes thing kind of messed me up. I am really into name brands now. I will regularly throw down $90 on a pair of Vans shoes or $80 on a pair of True Religion Jeans. But I’m not trying to be cool, it’s because my classmates seriously ****ed with my head when I was a kid.

But I get what you mean. I would never do that to anyone.

People are well-meaning and think they're being helpful, and they say the most invalidating things.

This darn government shutdown is really frustrating me to no end. I'm worried about my SNAP benefits in the coming months.

When you try to reach out to somebody and they don’t respond. They just ignore you. They will only respond when they want to. It happens a lot to me.

People who leave their dogs out in -45C. Down right abusive and neglectful. Yeah lady, I was the one who reported you. You shouldn't have a dog.
