what…? I know divorce rate is like above 50% but come on…. this ad is just sad and cynical if you ask me.
Ummmm can you say steamy?!?? This commercial is quite risqueeeee if you ask me. Don’t get me wrong, these girls are absolutely gorgeous but danggggg keep some of the sex appeal an illusion.
50. Gum rationing is necessary
So I am gum lover. I probably at least have one piece a day, no lie. I do not know why but I always have to have it. My favorite kind is Stride Cool Peppermint, it never gets old to me.
Being the excessive gum chewer that I am, I can be wee bit stingy on sharing… How pathetic does that sound, right? It’s just GUM. I know I knowww but the worse is when I have a brand new pack and just one person asks if I have gum and I say yes and will give them a piece. Next thing I know, I have 10 other hands in my face asking for a piece and then my whole pack of gum is almost gone!
Therefore, when I know one person asks for gum and it will soon be followed by others I politely ask them to split a piece. Is that so wrong? I mean I just have one pack and for an avid gum chewer like me, sharing gum is not an easy task.
49. If you facebook friend someone you better say hi
One of my all time pet peeves is when someone facebook friend requests you and then they see you and act like they do not know who you are. If a person took the time to send a friend request than they obviously know that person or want to get to know that person, therefore when they actually see that fb friend in person you should say hi!
In college, people run in pretty tight social circles that always overlap or coincide with each other at some point. Therefore, a lot of times a person will know who another person is, however has never actually met them. I mean come on, everyone does it whether they want to admit or not but we all facebook “creep.” When people upload their pictures and it pops up on someone’s news feed most likely the pictures will be looked through.
Facebook has created a social network of people to be able to know who each other are without even actually physically meeting each other. Sure I know who a lot of people’s names and faces just because of facebook pictures of mutual friends but that doesn’t mean I actually know that person. Therefore, I am not going to send that person an actual friend request unless I have met them or if I haven’t met that person yet but I saw them I would say hi.
When someone sends you a friend request that shows they know. The creepy part is when you see the facebook friend requester in person and they act like they do know you. Does that just mean you wanted to be my facebook friend so you could creep through my pictures? Think about it people…. all I am saying is that I think proper facebook etiquette is that if you friend request a person you should then be able to at least say hi to that person.
48. Hypocritical pedestrians and drivers
Yes the rule of thumb is pedestrians always have the right of way, however many times pedestrians take advantage of that fact.
I myself take advantage of that rule, moreover I am my own worse enemy when driving. I mean that because driving around, near or on campus can be a bit of a hassle because of the pedestrians. Crosswalks are made for a reason so they direct the pedestrians. However, when I am late for class I definitely do not abide by them. I know I am totally an annoyance to drivers who are trying to turn left and there I am still trying to get across the cross-walk. In my mind, I just tell myself “pedestrians have the right of way!” :)
However, when the shoe is on the other foot and I am the driver. I detest pedestrians who act like I do. A bit hypocritical…? I would say yes. I am a very antsy driver, therefore when I have my green light and I cannot actually go forward because of pedestrians I tend to get a little ticked off. At the same time, that is karma for me because I am the exact same type of pedestrian that I dislike so much when driving.
47. PDA is not okay
Many people have had a kiss or two in public but sometimes people just do not realize that too much public display of affection is not fun for everyone else. I love seeing couples that are obviously in love, however when it looks like they are about to get in on right in public it is rather nauseating. Save the face sucking for behind closed doors people!
46. Raining skittlessssss
This is a commercial that I remember even at the young age of six. I remember always thinking how cool that actually would be if it rained skittles. Well hey, with the various capabilities and technology we have available to us today why cannot that be possible?
I think it would be an innovative guerilla marketing campaign to have it rain skittles. How awesome would that be to have the heart of Times Square all of the sudden have a down pour of skittles? I am sure someone would be able to come up with a device for this to be possible. Pedestrians from all over would get a glimpse of a colorful shower of Skittles!
45. Let the Tattoos speak for themselves
I am definitely not the biggest fan of tattoos but to each their own, right? What I do find rather intriguing is why people get tattoos in the first place. I am sure there are plenty of different reasons why people get them, I just am curious to know the story behind the tattoos. My old hair dresser had whole sleeves of tattoos. So when having the our salon talk I asked him all the typical questions-
why’d you get them?
how many do you have?
did it hurt to get done?
do you regret any of them?
Needless to say I think he was rather tired of me asking these questions that he always gets from people. So that made me think… what if tattoos were able to do the talking for them?
What if there was some type of device programmed into each tattoo. All the person would have to do is press the button and it would tell the story behind each of their tattoos for the curious onlookers. It would save them the annoyance of always have to answer questions from various people and it would satisfy people’s curious minds.
44. No shave November create manly men
In the spirit of raising awareness for prostate cancer, many men across the nation have decided to participate in No Shave November. I always find it interesting to see which guys can pull off a beard and which ones can’t. Sometimes I see guys where the no shave look really works for them. It gives them this manly and grown up sense to them. On the other hand, I also see guys who should just stick to the clean shaven look. If you cannot fully grow a beard- I say stop while you’re ahead. The worst is when you see a guy who cannot fully grow a beard but he is desperately trying. If the hair on the face is growing in uneven or patching, I say its time to throw in the towel boys. It’s ok a beard is not for everyone and the clean shaven look isn’t for everyone either.
For instance, ever since I can remember my dad has always had facial hair, ranging from a mustache to a beard to a goatee. I feel like I would not even recognize my father if he ever had a completely shaven face. But I guess he mindset is if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. He has always had facial hair and it works for him, therefore he doesn’t need to change.
That should be the same thinking for guys when trying to grow a beard. If you’ve always had the clean shaven look and it works for you than stick with it. There’s nothing wrong with attempting the beard look but like I said if it just isn’t looking right then I say stop. Usually, men can either pull of one look or another, however there are those lucky ones who can sport both. Case and point David Beckham. Besides the fact that he strinkly good looking with and without facial hair, both looks work for him. The clean shaven gives him this suave look and the beard makes him manly and sexy. Therefore, when trying out the no shave look think about it wisely boys.
43. Pump the breaks on the Christmas decorations
I am all in for Christmas spirit and holiday cheer but people need to stop jumping the gun and putting up Christmas decorations so soon. The house I live in, put up our Christmas decorations literally a week and a half after Halloween. Now that is a little excessive don’t you think? I am not trying to be a grinch or anything but I think it a wee bit distasteful when I see Christmas lights up so far in advance. That is what malls and stores do- they are the ones putting up decorations so early in advance. I think that is enough obnoxiousness for me. I see corporate America pushing the holiday sales so deep into our brains but I do no want people doing that with their homes as well. Give the pilgrims and indians there time to be celebrated people! Christmas decorations can go up the day after Thanksgiving.
