Appearantly whining and patting yourself on the back is here to stay though!

What grinds my gears is when someone doesn't clean the plate off before sitting it in the sink. I'm sorry you have to take 3 seconds of your time to scrape the food you just inhaled off the plate but I REALLY do not appreciate having to do it myself once its moldy/soggy.
If it's moldy by the time it's cleaned off the plate, it's been sitting too long.

Point of my deleted, derped out post, was what grinds my gears, are people who just blindly bash Obama regardless of good or bad that he does. They hate on him because "he's a socialist" or w/e, and it's stupid. He could create world peace and people would still be like "Yeah, but he's still a socialist...". It annoys the ever living crap out of me.

This.. <_< I wash dishes daily (sometimes 2-3x in a day if I'm going through a lot of dishes while cooking) there's never time for mold to build up..

I get what you're saying though and it aggravates me as well. People in this house like these small/cheap microwavable pizzas and the cheese always melts off around the edges and onto the plate, when it's only 30 minutes or so old it's easy to get off, but once that ***has been there a couple of hours, I might as well be trying to scrub/scrape off superglue. Same thing happens for some weird reason to the spoon used to scoop out the wet dog food.. For whatever reason after a couple of hours that ***becomes almost impossible to get off.

Make your sister use disposable dishes or something >_>

Women who get offended at men who look at their half exposed boobs in broad daylight and pretend that they're not intentionally trying to be attention ***.
I wouldn't necassarily agree that all are trying to be attention ***... It's also that you're just probably not the one they wanted to be getting attention from lol... I had a conversation with my sister in law recently and she just said sometimes girls dress the way they do just because it makes them feel pretty not because they want guys to be falling over them...

If you wore a shirt "I can haz cheezeburger?" but your a vegetarian (but you like cats hence the shirt) someone might think you wanted a cheesburger even though you didn't :)

Or you know, you could have some *** self control and not objectify people because of the way they're dressed.

It's not a matter of self control... that's simply the rally cry for IRL trolls to defend their manner of dress all the while screaming in indignation over the attention their attire garners. When in reality it's more of a natural animal instinct.

Women objectify men just as much men objectify women. The primary difference being that Men's fashion doesn't tend to lead to us hanging their desirables out for the world to adore.

This brings up an interesting point regarding why middle eastern culture covers the female form. Their society has found that the only way for men to suppress the natural hormonal reaction that drives them to show attention to what would otherwise be signs of a desirable mate in terms of procreation... is to remove those distractions from view. This offers what they refer to as an environment where a man may love a woman as a sister instead of an object.

Imagine if you will a cake... a delicious, beautiful cake, in a window on a busy street... and every time you look at it someone jumps your ***. Moral of the story... get off your god damn soap box and stop defending your right, given by western societies acceptance of skanky female attire, to dress like a tart... unless you want the attention.

On another note... Much of this makes sense. To a point.
While I agree that many women dress in a fashion (same as men) because it makes them feel good... and that shouldn't be discouraged or punished... I have to draw the line at outright indignation regarding the attention being drawn. It is a "choice"... plain and simple to dress in that fashion. Just as I would not expect to NOT be reprimanded/chastised/ridiculed for say... dressing like a gorilla in public because it made me feel sexy.

I understand how you feel Cicada. My sisters system is breakfast, snack, middle snack, after snack,lunch, couple more snacks, dinner, midnight snacks. Constant dishes and no one doesn't wash them except me. There is 6 people that live in our house! Everyone excuse is "If I have to work 5 days a week, I should be able to relax when I get home"
No one around doesn't understand the concept of work doesn't stop when you clock out. It's annoying! o.o

oh yeah...
She cleans her bedroom every 5 months when the horrid smell starts leaking into the rest of the house x.x;

I love everything about this statement. <3
If its not for sale... don't put it on display... if you do you have no right to yell at people for window shopping.

Obviously I wouldn't condone cat calls, or other lewd behavior... but a glance is innocent.

The point is that it's not "attention whoring" unless I'm shaking them in your face or something. If I wear a low-cut shirt it's cause I think it looks damn good on me...if guys can't get over the breast separation it's their issue, the cleavage shown is not offered, don't complain if the girl gets annoyed at you for staring insistently like you're in a stupor.

I would classify "staring like your in a stupor" lewd behavior. Perhaps I was mistaken for laboring under the assumption that this topic of conversation was geared towards the indignation shown when catching someone simply "taking a look".

I agree that staring is not only unwanted and unwarranted... but also just flat out rude behavior.

Even girls themselves look at each other's boobs sometimes lol, the eye falls, but that should be the limit.
The annoyance comes from the way Celestius presented the matter.

Agreed, the manner in which he presented the topic was out of line. I only jumped in on defense of the natural human reaction more than anything.

getting the dumbest *** advice humanly possible to correct a situation, like not being able to find that one job you can be happy at and make a career out of: "Get a job."

I went to a career planning, curriculum vitae, and interview skills workshop a little while ago. The CV workshop was fine, infact it was absolutely amazing regarding the information given, but here's what really grinds my gears, the other two workshops and the individuals running them.

First step: Go to Career Planning, fill out some forms, sit in for lecture, only advice given: "Paper the damn streets with resumes as you apply for any and every job within city limits, and maybe you'll get one"

Second Step: Answer a multiple choice questionnaire to find your best line of work - mine was along the lines of education, but sadly there was not even an ounce of planning on how or where to go about this at the career planning workshop, i got it all from the CV workshop.

Third step: ignore all barriers and plaster your resume at every place you can think of. This line of thinking from the career planner lasted all 3 days.

On to the Interview Skills, my only question regarding this session, which was also asked by every person in the room at some point: "How do we deal with people who intentionally misinterpret, or misspell our names?" Answer: "Oh, they are just unprofessional people, they have given you a gift, the gift of not working for them"
