A supermarket observation.

[DawnCt1]

Dawn,
You seem to have a lot more time on your hands than most since not only do you spend a lot of time on these boards, but when you are not on the boards you are spending your time occupying your mind with extraordinarily inane things, then coming back here and posting about them!

if you take a look at half of the posts of these boards, they all qualify as "inane". psst, stand up straight, it might put you in a better mood.

Dawn,
Is that you in the middle in your sig file picture? You bear a striking resemblance to Cindy Crawford. I can see why you would want the rest of the world to reflect your beauty by having good posture and carrying themselves well.

Let me suggest that you print off a couple of my pictures. You could have fun blackening my teeth and drawing devil horns on one. On the other, enlarge it and make a dart board. You may feel better.

What I find interesting is that I have not insulted one person on this thread and yet, with a few exceptions there are twelve pages of insults, nasty comments and the like. I have been called uncompassionate, mean, conceited and several othr rather judgemental things that I can't recall. I did not insult anyone at the grocery store either, I simply made an observation,directed at no particular individual. I then am accused of having too much time on my hands but then, how much time did you all take out of your busy day to be insulting? And I am accused of being judgemental? Maybe I should make an observation about mob mentality. Certainly with 12 pages of discourse, this topic has provided for an "interesting discussion" and some entertainment. If any of you were insulted by the topic, you could have scrolled by.

I think thou doth protest too much. I think your posts are disingenuous, to say the least. "Simply made an observation" seems to be a euphemism for .

honey, you can think whatever you want. i would suggest however that it isn't I who is stirring the pot.

Completely OT- but on grocery store cart etiquette, how many of you step on the back of the cart and ride it down the little ramp on the way out of the store?

I have to remind myself not too.

Ummm, I do all the time, but don't tell anyone!!

 

[Whosemom]

LOL. I myself come here to waste time, and I am certainly doing it with this thread. teehee.

But, hey, by the way, we had a speaker at a highschool where I taught. She was in a car accident with no seat belt on, bumped her head, thought nothing of it until a few days later...she has REALLY poor short term memory. She has a handicap parking tag because if she doesn't see the car when she comes out, she absolutely won't find it. So, one never knows, do one?

Furthermore, I am totally with the folks talking to themselves or babies. I started it when I had babies, but now I'm there, all alone, totally thinking out loud like a crazy person. On the other hand, my kids have great vocabularies. I frequently discourse on pricing policies. Have you noticed that Target actually prices Tide at higher per/ounce prices for bigger jugs? I have, and I have been caught talking about it to no one many many times

I was wondering about the elbows on the table.....a big "no-no" according to Emily Post.

Lots of people make not-so-nice generalized observations about groups of people. We call them bigots.

It seems obvious to most people that posting an "observation" that comes off as very judgemental to the reader, would cause the poster to reevaluate their position. Possibly consider that they could look at it in a diiferent way. I dont think anyone is attacking Dawn. The post is hard to stomach. Sure , 12 pages is ridiculous, but you could stop fueling it as well. People who feel the need to keep saying how wonderful they are seldon are.

Yeah, man. Sit up straight. That's really unattractive.

I know! That really bugs the heck out of me when people are too lazy to keep their elbows off the table! Maybe their arms are "too ample" and need to be rested on a table or something.

I'm just not seeing the whole 'Cindy Crawford' thing!!!!

And bigots are SO UNATTRACTIVE.

Well, Dawn. I'd say you are getting B-slapped right out of your thread. I would wave the white flag and bow out gracefully.

actually you have proved my point about mob mentality. those who have accused me of being judgemental take first prize. have a wonderful night!

So I guess "mob mentality" is a euphemism for "nobody agrees with me?"

Goodnight!

i didn't hear a lot of "i don't agree with you". i heard a lot of insults, assumptions and personal attacks. i often post my disagreements with other posters. that is the nature of a forum. i try to refrain from personal attacks. i believe that i am successful for the most part. can you say the same?

I would suggest you read more carefully (I am not going to go through each post and list how people disagreed with you--you are capable of doing this yourself) and I would suggest that you try not to mistake your own gleeful pot-stirring for the nature of the forum.
