You spend so much time worrying and thinking about the strangest stuff.

Funny/Sad part, most of what I think of, I never post lol

I'll be 36 in December and my wife and I took a couple of selfie's, plus had our waiter take our pic one night when we were on vacation last week.

I don't really see it as being a narcissist or think it's a generational thing. I just think that I'm really, really, really, really ridiculously good-looking, so I like seeing photos of myself and sharing it with others.

I don't think the problem is taking selfies per se. I mean, if it's a special occasion or a unique situation, then that's fine. The problem is people who take selfies for the sake of taking selfies.

Yeah you turn your avatar to yourself, like mine, except in February.

We talked about the laziness of this last year.

C'mon bruh, pretty sure you know that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the people that are snapping pics of themselves while they're driving on the highway and crap like that. You were at an event and took pictures with your folks. How is that even remotely the same?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

So I had heard about universalyums, basically it's a blind subscription box of snacks from a foreign country. Awesome, right up my alley. So I sign up. Usually the country is a surprise, which they announced early for some reason, but I don't care about that. So I click through their main page to check my account and such to see when this might ship (last month they had shipping problems because they switched to garbage DHL rather than UPS). So what do I see on the front page? The entire contents of the upcoming box spoiled on their main page (note that not spoiling the box has always been something they did to quote from facebook "We try not to share what's inside until most of you have gotten a box", not knowing is part of the fun of getting the box).

So I tweet them that they spoiled the box (hopefully it was just an oversight). No response (their twitter isn't bombarded at all either, a good day is three tweets at them).

Last night I left a message on their facebook page, get up this morning and it's gone, deleted with no follow up. So I leave pretty much the same message, with the addendum that deleting my message doesn't make the problem of spoiling the new box on their main website page go away. Immediately deleted. But this time they emailed me:

I believe you have contacted us on Facebook to voice your grievances on our new homepage photo. We're sorry that you felt the change ruined your box for September. The majority of visitors to our website are new customers, and we have not received any complaints from current customers other than yours. We didn't understand what you trying to accomplish by potentially ruining the surprise to other customers who come to our Facebook page.


We will be refunding your box for September.

Seriously? So I'm the one spoiling stuff? I didn't list anything, I didn't include the photo, at worst it was a warning to others to not go to the main website if they didn't want the box spoiled.

My response:

Wait, I'm ruining the surprise for others? You post that to YOUR website and now you try to lay that **** on me? How about simply an apology, is that too much to ask for? A sorry and changing that photo so others aren't spoiled? No, you'll just throw a refund at me that I didn't ask for then blame me for something you did. Nice. This is one hell of a first impression.

The food was spoiled or what was in it was spoiled ahead of time? Really hope you mean the food was spoiled because if not it's much ado about nothing.

What are you looking at if you don't realize that's a girl?

It was a lighthearted jab man, I was not being very serious.

There are kids in that pic?


That's one of my gear grinders, when a friend thinks some chick is smoking hot because she has T&A but their face is a 5 at best. Hot bodies are a plenty and most women could get one if they wanted to work at it (or pay for it). The face is where beauty is at though.

That's why large sun glasses became so popular. Chicks can put on their face blocker glasses and they've just upped their hotness level cause they covered up the ugly.

I still don't understand how someone taking a picture of themselves is wasting YOUR time. I mean, if they asked you to take it, sure.
