Internet pet peeves: Holiday Edition
People who say "My coworker/employer/grocer/pimp gave me a gift card as a holiday bonus and, as is my nature, I can't seem to spend it on myself! I'd rather spend it on others! Why is this so hard?" and then 11 billion people chime in about their struggles with spending $25 on themselves at Target. Shutthefuckup, I hate all of you.
For some reason this year, I've seen a lot of posts about lines at the post office, followed by "Ha! Only in [insert city/state/neighborhood]!"
How about "Only in EVERY GODDAMNED POST OFFICE IN AMERICA BECAUSE IT'S A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS."?

Re: Internet pet peeves: Holiday Edition
I think this is more of a complaint and less of a pet peeve.
Every year my ILs take us to the mall to pick out our Christmas present. The most awkward/embarrasing thing ever for me is walking around a department store as a 35 year old man and asking a 65 year old woman to pay for stuff for me. Just freakin get me gifts, or ask me for a list, or just come spend Christmas with us and not get me anything. But don't make me stand at the cash register with a bunch of loot while you fish for a credit card. It makes my junk shrink.
And on top of it, last night it snowed about 1/17th of an inch, so there were about a brazillian accidents because people in NJ forget how to drive every year when the weather changes and it took me an hour and a half to get to the mall that is 15 minutes away. And then, when I got to the mall for my annual shame spree, I locked my keys in the car and had to wait for AAA to let me back in.

People who only buy for kids when you don't have kids. So you want me to buy your kids gifts but I don't have kids so you basically just escape from purchasing but get to watch the opening. ok.
My sibblings and dad sometime about 4 years ago decided we just would exchange gifts anymore. They don't even try to get together it's like they all just forgot about because it just too much work.
yes, my family decided a few years ago to just get each other's kids gifts. well great, I have one, my brother has two and my sister has three, also my brother and sister don't really speak so they don't get each other's kids anything. I get screwed.
Also, I have friends whose kids I buy gifts for, but they don't get my son anything. I kind of understand because their kids are so much younger they're always around and they don't see my son very often, but it still bugs.
NOOOO! My pet peeve is specifically with the "Only my post office would be this busy!" thing. That also extends to just about anything, like when people say "Only in New York/Chicago/Boston/Biloxi!" No, tool, the weather is cold everywhere! It snows everywhere!
This is a weird pet peeve.

I'm going to get gift-screwed forever unless I have a big old bar mitzvah for E to recoup.
I'm only having one, yet everyone I'm friends with is having them like they're making sporting teams or illegal labor forces. Shower/New baby gift/Holiday/birthday/Christenings- one after another after another. The monetary hits keep coming. Yet, I still only have E. The Christenings are the worst at like $100-$150 a pop. Then there are going to be communions too by the time they're 8 or something like that.
