The judgement people get for having brightly coloured dyed hair. Some people suit it.

(I don't have dyed hair, but I saw someone with bright green hair recently and it suited her). Never understood the pushback on that one.

Why it's such a bad thing if a grownup is childlike and a little slow. I like being childlike and slow like Schultz.

I don't get why it's not feminine for me to like video games, even if the games normally I play are rated E or T, and have cute characters.

Black people can use the N word for each other but we can't use the R word for ourselves. Retardation and ret*d literally means slow and delayed.

I don't get how I can be so different from the rest of my family. They're all Limeys and I'm a Barron.

I don't get why I'm not able to see the good in most humans or be bothered by the state of the world like my mother. My dad was really easy-going as well. Makes me think they really did find me in a space capsule near their home.

I agree.
The last time I used the r word here, my post got reworded in such a way, I really did sound like a r*****.

I don't get why my grocery delivery people tie every bag with a knot at the top.

It's so annoying and it's a waste of plastic bags because I have to rip them open and can't reuse them.

So much for the environment, or for my patience.

They tie them so your order can't be meddled with or fall out of the bag.
It is annoying though.
The orders at work come like that.

I should have put it in Pet Peeves instead.

Yeah, I get it but I hate it.

I hate paper bags even more though.

The sound drives me right bonkers and they always rip open.

Boxes are a PITA to break down.

I'll start growing my own milk I guess.

You don't get why you don't like being called a ret*d?

I just use the word "ret*d" anyways. I don't really care if other people don't want me to use it at all. I won't use it around them, but no one can make my autistic, learning disabled ass never ever say it. lmao

I don't get why at my local supermarket you give them 3 bags and they only put your grocery items in 1 bag and you have to pack them yourself as you can't fit it in your shopping jeep.
