Sorry if I sound like a total Karen, but I'm at the age where I despise fireworks, most especially the noisy ones. They seem pointless to me and make me think that people who are obsessed with this crap that they are trying to compensate for something they lack

When someone calls me and when I tell them I'm busy they still want to rush the question and engage with me. I end up repeating - Did you not HEAR when I told you I can't talk right now?

People who don't say thank you when you do something very polite like opening and holding a door. This happened to me just couple of days, I think I stood there for like 10 seconds till that lady-mail-woman came in. She just stared at me and said - OK.

Well, b-tch, next time I will LOCK the door when I see you, not open and hold it.

Debbie Downers who can't wait to find something negative in every occasion and/or thing you mention. It's so off-putting and annoying. Life is too short to lose time with negative people.

People who tell things that we all know... like they are telling me the secret of life and the universe. You know those types that are so condescending... they think I don't know it's day and not night outside when the sun is shining.

A neighbor who is blasting EURO 2024 soccer in his yard right now at 9-55 at night. I think of calling the cops... I will wait till it's 10 to do it. F-CKING disrespectful animals.

When someone says they know something or they wish if they can share something, but then they stay silent. Why even hint at it at all, when you are not going to say it? What a pathetic attention seeking trick. NEEEEXT.

Too alarming alarm songs... I swear when my husband puts some alarming music, I can go into a near heart attack from his phone. I don't need to hear sirens in  5 o'clock. I wake up to gentle nature sounds that have to ring for at least 5-10 minutes before I even hear them.

This is not only a pet peeve, but probably a clear sign that I should be terminating communication with the person in question.

Someone staring at their phone, not paying attention while I'm having conversation/dinner with them. Happened yesterday... I was meeting a friend I hadn't seen for a long time. I would open my phone only to check if my husband has left me a message and that's it. For glimpses... seconds. Well, she started responding to texts from some Tinder match mid-dinner, which annoyed me, but she's grown ass woman and I wanted to see how more she will sink. And how much she will continue acting like an idiot. 

She did this for more than 10-15 minutes... completely not paying attention and just smiling and laughing with a fake voice, thinking I'm okay with her not listening to anything I'm saying... At some point, I said to myself - it's better just to go and not even give her an explanation. I left more money than my part of the dinner, put my coat on and left. She didn't even realize what was happening till I was going out... she probably thought I was going to use the rest room. 

Now I've been getting constant messages saying Sorry and that she was stupid to do this... How she realized she ruined our dinner. I'm not responding. Too little... too late.

Bye b-tch.

    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.    
    • @MaximThis really  old song popped into my head this morning ....

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
