Lost episodes of soap operas... I was just watching a classic soap and one of the best moments ended on a cliffhanger... only to find out the next episode missing. I am... so IRKED.

Staff of restaurant/fast food cleaning with chemical fluid, spray... the tables next to you, while you EAT. Happened so many times. I always say - please can you wait for me to finish - I am allergic. It's the most disgusting off-putting thing to smell this SHARP chemical-fake-flower-smell of cleaning liquid while you eat.

DISGUSTING.

Happened at KFC, Mcdonalds... and some italian pizzerias too. 

NIGHTMARE.

People who post too much baby photos on Facebook and too much personal photos... like... personal personal. I don't need to see your most precious moments honey... they stop being precious once you show them to me. It just irks me.

My cousin is like that - she poses her children for photos every other day like they are some kind of dolls and puppets and just shows them off all the time. The twist - she is a horrible mother. Other than the pictures on facebook - her children are being taken care off by grandparents all the time. She prefers to go to clubs and drink than to be with her children. But on FACEBOOK - she is sooo loving in front of PEOPLEEEE.

When a 10 euro shoe I bought from the store only to go into dirty places with the dog... ends up being more comfortable than a 300 euro ones. 

Makes me hate the expensive one sooo much.

IT'S A HARCORE pet peeve when this happens.

Cheap things sometimes WORK so well.

People who use dogs as accessories. That DRAG them to concerts and events... completely damaging that dog's ear and psyche. DISGUSTING people.

I also HATE people who act like gays are there to prop straight women and they are their accessory. I hate when I hear a woman say - this is my gay best friend. Just say BEST friend. Or male best friend. Putting gay in front of it... really triggers me. 

I remember one time a friend of mine... who now is... not anymore... told another girl IN FRONT OF ME - I always have 1 gay friend everywhere I go... this is my new one! And she was hugging me and acting like this was positive. Bi-tch - BYE.

People who talk too much when you watch a movie with them. I am all for a light conversation if the movie allows it and the mood is the right one... but monologues that make me struggle to keep watch the movie... are a big No. That's why I am never able to watch a movie with my father... He won't shut up.

There is a place in hell for people that block public walk sidewalks taking photographs or just a group of people talking and blocking the way.

I NEVER move away. I just stand in front of them and stare till they MOVE OUT OF MY FU-CKING WAY and free up the sidewalk.

When there is a smell in the apartment I can't figure where it comes from.

I swear this happens and I'm not imagining it - my husband feels it too sometimes.

There have been moments where I feel a ladies perfume and... who knows where it came from. Drives me mad.

Today I am noticing a slight smell of lipstick around the living room. I am sniffing around the drawers to say where it is coming from. We don't have lipstick in this house! LOL.

MADDENING.

People who hate some for their likes and dislikes yet are friends with others that share the same likes and dislikes.

People who kiss ass to others to be popular/relevant. When those people wouldn't give them the time of day if they weren't kissing their a$$.

That will sound very mean if me, but when my husband spends money ON me without asking me first... I can go mad.

I hate strange unexpected presents that I never use and never like. I remember he bought me an ugly lamp in a ball shape once without a reason and when I asked how much it cost... And it was more than 30... I went into a mini meltdown. That lamp was used maybe 3 times in a year or something. And he always does this to buy himself things and pass them like they are for me so I can't say anything.

Only for bracelets and necklaces I make an exception to this rule.

I have ADHD... and it's unbearable for me when people try to put me in a box or control me. I am good with rules (as a matter of fact what I work right now and earn my living through finding faults and problems with other people's work), but I don't like anal-retentive crazy nit-picking people when it comes to my PERSONAL life or personal choices. So someone coming and telling me unasked advice about the way I dress or the way I am cooking or exercising, can really put me off to a point I don't see this person as anything other than a nuisance.

    • Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.  These episodes aren't consecutive, but if you ever have time, they are worth a watch. They are bits and pieces from January and April of 1979 - April in and out of prison, her past calling to her via her psychic powers (and the suicide of Miles' wife Denise, who had murder framing in mind). April 1979 has the end of Winter Austen (such a fantastic soap name).  I don't want to drop a ton of links but you can find playlists on Youtube.
    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.    
    • I am wholeheartedly enjoying this show. I just haven't been able to post as much as I used to. But yes, this episode needs to be submitted for the EMMYs and there needs to be wins. I better NOT see Y&R, DAYS, or B&B winning in categories over BTG. I feel like the only show that is giving BTG an ounce of competition this season is GH. 
    • I never thought the day would come, but too much MM for me. 
    • I think it may be that the character was brought in for a specific purpose and then became popular with viewers, and the show didn't know how to respond.  The choice to pivot away from Simon/India may show that you are right and they didn't care for her...although pairing them up may be another sign they didn't care for her. I don't connect well with this period but it does make me happy seeing some of these characters before the great purge and some of the surprises - I'd forgotten the wonderful Maureen O'Sullivan popped up to be bumped off. So typical of soaps by this point, but it doesn't grate as much as later on when Y&R would bring on any random cast member from Small Wonder. I'm also amazed at this time at just how much money the show must have had. The costumes for the Founder's celebration in summer 1984, or whatever it was, looked gorgeous.
    • Which officially started to feel that way today with them hearing each other out as they confronted each other at the same time.    Same. He was even catching himself when he was about to go overboard or do those tics that people don't seem to like. He failed a bit at the end, but he carried. It makes me think about a month back when it was discussed that the actor was better in other things he's been in. And I questioned then if that meant that he was playing Martin more intentionally. I questioned that briefly again today because he was giving. 
    • I really like the actress who plays Margo. Don't know  her name. I'm so hesitant to google anyone because I don't want to know the length they were on the show. I've watched two episodes and I have to say that the show does not feel as dated as other shows. I tried to watch Ryan's Hope a few weeks back and some of the acting was a bit rough. EON is a lot more natural which amuses me considering it's a mystery/thriller show.
