My wife hates flowers.

Mine too. She would rather have me buy her shoes or something she can actually use rather than flowers. 

I recently arrived in Korea for a year long stay, and flowers here are tricky. Apparently different colored roses mean different things. So far I've figured out...

Red/Pink - love

Yellow - break up

White - someone died

Good thing I found out before I gave a girl some yellow flowers..

     Me: *gives girl flowers*

     Girl: But we haven't even started dating yet!?!

Or what if there was a multi colored yellow/white one??

     Me: Happy Valentines!

     Girl: Someone in my family died and you're breaking up with me?! *sob*

Ugh, how complicated.

Same thing in other parts of the world (Europe), although it's usually not taken that seriously. And, of course, some like black roses as well...

Valentine's Day is just one of those phrases that can give the wrong impression when initialed....like Painting Easter Eggs. We were talking about flowers for the significant other ....then a little VD gets dropped in there and I'm like .

In the U.S. dolphins are protected under the Marine Mamal Protection Act. Had that occurred in the U.S. Everyone pictured would be subjected to fines of up to $11,000 and/or up to one year in prison.

Still not enough penalty, in my book...

That's for basic harassment, feeding, following, trying to touch etc. Fines can be multiplied in sever cases, I'm fairly certain those selfie idiots would qualify as an "extreme case".

I'd be able to post more if I didn't own a HP...

My bad. I thought this was a Lego inspired topic.

I saw it on Reddit.  So, of course it's true.

post it here no one will notice 

75098 - UCS: Assault on Hoth

I hate it when my kids' friends are coming over in the morning 

AND

I can't fall asleep until I have safely hidden all of my LEGO. The thought of grubby little hands pocketing my precious pieces is far more than I can bear.

That topic is starting to look much like this one, isn't it.

That reminds me. I hate those times when despite nodding off, feeling super drowsy, can barely stand let alone walk, when I finally do manage my way into bed for the life of me I CANT FRIGGIN' SLEEP!

Thank you for purchasing 75106 - Imperial Assault Carrier from my Wal-Mart a few days before the price dropped down to $30.

I was not watching the price or inventory for about a month and a half of said unmarked clearance product.

I know. But I was just really bummed this time, so I wanted to express my sadness.

 

Damn you Timmy's mom. maybe more appropriate in the complaint thread instead of its own

Hate the new Target website design. It looks too much like Kmart & Jet...

I will complain that my complaint needs to be approved by a moderator before I can complain in the complaint thread.
