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.

    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion. 
    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed.
