Stupid Pet Peeves

Men - you just don't understand. It has to do with our multi-tasking brains. There is a lot more involved than just opening the door and getting out.

Authorities in Iowa are trying to decide whether to file charges against a hospital CEO whose 7-month-old daughter died after being accidentally left in a minivan while she rushed off to attend meetings.

The county medical examiner has ruled the death accidental, but prosecutors have yet to decide whether to charge Kari Engholm over the death of her daughter Clare.

Engholm left Clare in a minivan last month on a day when outside temperatures approached 90 degrees. Engholm was rushing to attend a series of meetings at Dallas County Hospital in Perry, Iowa.

Engholm's family, it seems, has forgiven her, calling the death a tragic mistake, the result of an overstressed woman who was used to her husband dropping the little girl off with the baby sitter.

Multi-tasking...screwing up several things at once.

If you have a new set of exercises and workout philosophy you are following, this is called a REGIMEN. REGIMEN.


If you have just established a great new government and hope to oppress your people for personal gain, this is called a REGIME. REGIME.


They are NOT interchangeable.

Ugh.




(note: a regime does not have to have a negative connotation, I just used that example for fun. Also a regime does not necessarily have to be a political organization, it can really be any system of leadership, although that is the normal usage of the word)

Uhhh

They sound like the same thing to me

Exercise is tyranny

Ok, just for you.

If you start following a new tantric method of self-pleasuring involving ritualistic aspects like candle-lighting and Michael Bolton music, and you follow it the same every time, or try to, that is your ************ REGIMEN.

Or if you have started smoking weed, you know for glaucoma or phantom back pain or some other fully legitimate reason, and you smoke it every day at about the same time, often while eating lots of cheetos or doritos, you know to make sure the effects don't wear off for your pain, or whatever, that is your daily weed REGIMEN.

Sad. I don't think people should be charged when this happens (unless it is obvious they wanted their child to die). They've been punished enough.

It seems most of the time this happens is because it was outside their routine. We obviously need more mindfulness, being in the present moment.

When I'm driving with my wife and we get where we're going and park and I get out and get to the door of the place we're going and stop to open the door for my wife but when i turn around she hasn't even gotten out of the car yet.

Like what the hell takes so long? Undo seatbelt, open door, exit vehicle...done.

Yes this, I do wait behind the car for what seems like forever sometimes but I have never walked all the way into the store without noticing she has gotten out of the car. Although I could make it to the door most of the time. Its even more baffling because I am driving most of the time. I am the one who needs time to gather my **** and put the parking brake on and put it in gear, she has time to be prepared to get out of the car.

Have either of you heard a phrase similar to "we're all married to the same woman but we go home to a different face"?

This drives me nuts. I can put the car in park, turn it off, unlock the doors, unbelt my youngest and yell at the kids on their electronics to get out, grab the diaper bag and whatever else if we are returning something or need a cart or whatever, and she's still sitting there doing who knows what. The thing that drives me nuts the most though is she will wait until we park before deciding she's thirsty and needs to drink an entire bottle of water. Why not do it on the trip if you're so parched? I'm certain that's a phobia but it's annoying as hell.

I wouldn't write any of this though if she didn't already know how much it bugs me.

So since I've already started complaining about my wife and parking... When she's driving and parks like a jerk. I've made her re-park or offered to re-park for her so that she's not hanging over her space into the next parking spot.

Pisses me off anytime I see cars parked in such an inconsiderate way and I just can't handle being part of that.

My wife does not enjoy it when I do that to her.

But does your wife decorate your car with flags?

If not, be grateful. If she does, she deserves whatever scorn and disapprobation you choose to dispense.

Thankfully no flags. Don't want to be looking like the ambassador from Jazzistan.

Michael Bolton is already part of my daily REGIMENT

I've often thought that I should keep a bunch of "I park like an *******" bumper stickers in my glove box.

Can we continue this in white font or a private forum?

When my wife picks fights and I finally respond I get the "DON'T GET MAD AT ME!" treatment like it was me starting an argument. She also takes forever to start driving when the stoplight turns green but I don't say anything unless she's not paying attention.
