As I've been looking through blogs, I've seen lots of "cute" names for the days- mysterious Mondays, wordless Wednesdays, etc. None of them really seemed to sum up my accurate, but cynical, view of life. And then I realized there is one thing that I think all of the time!
"WTF!?" If you are offended by the "F" pretend it stands for frak (as on Battlestar Galactica) or for "freezing Popsicles in Hades"....though if you're offended by the "F", you probably don't visit here very often (ha-ha).
So WTF moments:
On America's Next Top Model, the girls were having trouble using those ancient things called maps and by the boggling little metal boxes by the side of the curb called parking meters. I kid you not....people should need a license to breed.
People who put "I love whoever" stickers on their cards. Didn't we grow out of that in 7th grade or so?
People who put "My child is an honor student at X middle school." Hey, when they make the Dean's List at a REAL college (aka- not online), brag about it. Until then.....try to bump up your self esteem with YOUR OWN achievements.
People who go back and forth to the fridge ten times...the contents haven't changed. I promise. All you have in their is ketchup, mustard, and a wilted head of lettuce. Fresh based risotto Florentine is not going to appear.
People who dress up their pets. Leave the poor animal alone. It's happy with it's fur. If you have one of those funny hairless cats, then you can put clothes on it. Otherwise...(this counts for family members too....you know who I'm talking to!)
Spandex. Repeat after me: Swimmers. People under 110 pounds. Swimmers. People under 110 pounds. Otherwise, NO.
To prove this last point, I cordially invite you to visit the best blog I have found on the internet so far (barring my own, of course).
It's called "People of Wal-Mart" and I credit the creator as a genius. Check it out:

WTF is up with weight loss ads that are spelled incorrectly. You lose weight, and then your clothes are loose. I'm not going to give my money to someone who promises I can lose weight with magic pill, but can't manage to spell the ad correctly!!
WTF is up with whole sites dedicated to pets or to kids. Look, your pet is cute. Your kid is cute. But a whole site dedicated to pictures of them! I mean, funny stories in general around pictures works. But just pics and stories of a pet is not doing it for me...sorry.
People who don't celebrate Halloween because it is "evil." If you don't like Halloween, cool, not a problem. But it's a holiday for kids to dress up and get candy. I think the pagan influences pretty much have died down...
Why were Christmas tree decorations available for sale in Wal-Mart BEFORE Halloween. Fine, I can put up with November 1st. But can we at least wait until then?
Sports announcers. Any of them. I heard this last week during a game: "it's the little things in sports that lead to the big things." What the H*** does that mean? Who are you: Buddha?
The McRib and the Filet-O-Fish.
If you have any WTF moments for me, please leave a comment!! I would love to add it to next weeks list, and I will credit you (and your blog/website) if you have one!
