The Burger King commercials where the singing is deliberately off key. It is fingernails down a chalkboard to me. They run them every commercial break on ESPN.

I loathe it with the passion of a 100 burning suns
This is a horrible commercial, but is also burned into my skull. My daughter's initials rhyme with "BK" and I started singing them over those words in my head, and eventually to her.

It needs to be banished forever.

Why you wearing tank tops in February?!
I wear tank tops when working out in my basement. My skin is too pale to wear them outside and my arms/shoulders are too hairy. I'm not going to go start shaving/waxing my upper body.

Not exactly sure.

You shave and wax your lower body? That’s what I got from that. I’m now in pain thinking about getting my junk waxed.

Archaic or bad traffic control signs.

Near me is a 'No Turn on Red 7-9 am' for oncoming traffic turning from a weird angle but usually there's nobody oncoming within 2-3 blocks so there's no reason to wait.

It should be 'watch for oncoming traffic from left' or similar.

I used to be in this camp until a couple years ago when I hit that middle age point where everything not related to comfort is just like "well.. **** it."

I wonder if she ever watched Paw Patrol, and encountered mayor goodway. She’s obsessed with a chicken, and so inept that some dogs have to do all of her mayoral duties for her.

Or Dora whose parents let her wander around with a talking monkey in the jungle and no other guide. Or Peppa Pig whose parents just are MIA. Bluey appears not only to be the gold standard of cartoon anthropomorphic parents - they may be the only active ones.
Well those succinct paragraphs taught me more about current kids TV than I ever knew. My kids Tv knowledge ended with Sesame Street, the Electric Company, and school house rock(?)

Men who wear white framed sunglasses. I'm sorry, it just looks ridiculous to me. On girls/women it's a situational call. But on men - always a horrible look.

Edit: Not a fan of tats and facial hair.... either gender.
I stop at a place where one of their employees has a crazy amount of facial tats mainly stars, moons etc... In my mind I've named him Starman, he's a pretty decent guy, but it was hard not to stare the 1st time I met him

I have a four year old that will dart off in public and is a struggle to keep contained. My son has to transfer schools next month and be put on an IEP because he will run off. It gets to the point where my wife and I will consider declining dinner invites from my parents because taking the kids out with us is so difficult and stressful. Some people probably think my wife and I are lazy parents that don't know how to discipline our kids but it is a struggle every day for us.

- my apologies for my rant. It has been a difficult week.
May I suggest invisifence and a shock collar?;):eek:

No don't do these they are meant in jest. :)
