An ex of mine used to give me a chapter and verse detailed account of her periods.
In case there's any ladies out there reading this thst do the same? There are few things that will turn a man off more than graphic accounts of periods and flow etc.

Its hardly a daily occurence but the point I was trying to make was people increasingly don't give a fuck what they talk about on their cellphones in public.
Also nobody mentioned people wiping their arse in public it was toilet paper ads being more blatant about the function of their products.
Like ads for sanitary towels, they show how absorbant they are by using blue liquid? Why blue? Is Spocks sister having a heavy flow this month?

I don't think I've ever overheard people talking about those things while shopping - don't shop much anyway.
It doesn't happen all the time, but occasionally at the airport, in line to get into a restaurant, the bus stop... Mostly people talking really loud on their cell phones.
I'm not big into stranger's personal shit. My niece is pretty quiet, but likes to people-watch and listen to people's drama. There was a girl talking about a guy she hooked-up with at the table behind us at the sandwich shop earlier this week. I started to move our tray to another spot, but she didn't wanna move because she wanted to find out what happened.

I can understand that. Talk about death and illness doesn't affect me adversely too much and I'm around that a lot. But, it would be depressing if it was the main focus a lot of the time in my own home or family.
With little kids and the elderly, the bodily function talk kinda comes with the territory and doesn't bother me at all.
What I never quite understand is adults sitting around gabbing about excrement or flatulence and that kinda thing. A joke here or there is no biggie, but actually carrying on about it in the course of conversation makes me tune out quickly.

Most of the stuff I hear is with my co-workers.
I have one particular one who comes up to me all the time and discusses her sex life, her teenaged daughters daily drama, and when she gets the shits and her butt is bleeding because she's lactose intolerant and ate that bowl of ice cream anyways.
She comes up to me the monday after thanksgiving telling me about how her and her man went on a 3 day meth binge, have never-ending sex allllllll weekend, went to the local lingerie/sex toy shop for more toys and blah, blah blahhhhhhhh. The kicker was when she had to tell me how one of her benwah (sp) balls got stuck up inside her and her boyfriend had to come to her rescue in the shower.
I could go on and on about this chic, like the story of when she learned the fine art of squirting...but I'm sure you get the point...:hah

Why oh why do you let her tell you that stuff F2? Why not tell her you don't want to hear that kind of personal stuff ?

Oh boo fucking hoo! Stop wallowing and get a job then you wouldn't have to hang around the house listening to your parents morbid and depressing stories all fucking day would you?
Your daily wallowing in self pity makes me depressed, because it reminds me people like you exist, and morbid, because sometimes I honestly think you would be happier sitting on a cloud behind the pearly gates.

Wellllll...it's like this. You know when you can see there is a train wreck about to happen and there's nothing you can do to stop it, so you just keep watching? This is like 'hearing' the train wreck as it is happening, it's both fascinating and horrifying at the same time, and you are rendered speechless.
She's a biker, so I think she feels we have something in common that she doesn't have with other women. She's VERY open about everything. I don't think she realizes it because that's just her personality, where I'm more reserved about what I share with people.
The funny thing is how she does it. she doesn't come up to me like "DUDE, (yes, she calls me dude, she calls everyone dude.) GUESS WHAT THE FUCK I DID THIS WEEKEND??!!!". She's very nonchalant, and comes up and starts these conversations with me like she would come up to me and start discussing the weather.
In a nutshell, I'm sucker punched from behind, and therefore helpless to stop it before it starts.

So I just went and reread this thread from the beginning. It's hilarious and great snow day entertainment.

Oh I am not, I don't even know what they are talking about so how could I take it personally? That's just downright stupid.
The reality is, HoTD is having an Alex Baldwin/Tom Cruise meltdown. That's the truth.

I'm feeling pretty mellow, so can't promise that crazy meltdown in the foreseeable future.
If or when it does come to pass, let me just apologize in advance to anyone who gets a little HOTD stuck to the bottom of their shoes.

I was sitting in the restaurant with my husband today discussing what to have for dinner. Actually we were at the bar sitting shoulder to shoulder with everyone else. So he blurts out real loud that wings would be good and maybe pick out a movie and fondle his ball sack. WTF, why would he say that so loud. What a coincidence that I'm now one of those people you were talking about.

Well if you insist on marrying a tactless oaf what do you expect?

A morbidly obese cross dresser calling anyone else ugly really is an exercise in futile hypocrisy.
The words “futile hypocrisy” are also handy for summing up your life so far.
