Several of my favorite bloggers have did this post....Cookie, Anne Marie, RJ and Bob. It's just a simply list of 10 things you just don't get. Not to be confused with what grinds my gears though.
Things I DON'T GET....
1- Driveways, lack of use. Let me explain. In some of the housing developments here, the streets are two ways. But almost every house, cars are parked not in the garage or driveway...but the streets. So when you have two cars coming down a street someone has to let another pass, because so many cars are on it parked. Meanwhile the drive sits empty, and the garage? Walking around I've seen most packed with so much shit they can't even get the car in. I considered calling Hoarders on them! I don't own a house, but is the garage and drive of a house not suppose to be for the cars?
2-Kartrashian Family and their staying power. Reality tv for that matter.
3-the hashtag. Stil.
4-One sided views- Another explanation. I've seen it in private, at bars, parties, and even at the pool. People having conversation over everything from politics, religion, sports, music and yes still, Valentina's leaving Drag Race!!!! But what I don't get is these people are so closed minded and only their view and opinion is the right one. Can't they sit there and have a intelligent conversation and discuss and try to understand where the other is coming from? I know I have done it, and had really great conversations. If we are all going to be the same, like the same, support the same and be one-sided, what's the point in a free country or democracy?
5-Trump. You knew this was coming. In my lifetime can say I have liked something about every president, and in most cases, like some aspects of each. A far stretch in some cases though. But I DO NOT GET THIS CIRCUS. It is humiliating.
6- Lack of Acceptance of nudity- In 2017 people still get embarrassed by nudity, and have a taboo view of. We all have the same thing, and the human form is some of the best art around.
7-Gays who don't accept the whole community.
8-Aniaml cruelty. No excuse for it....EVER.
9- Overload of tattoos.
10-Scrapple.
What are some things you just don't get?
You make a fair point about nudity, Mistress, but what about humans who look better with their clothes on? Surely you don't admire beer guts and moobs?
ReplyDeleteWell Gorilla, I can honestly say, I can get pass seeing guts and moobs. We all have different types of bodies, and I give them credit for lettin' it all hang out. Well except Trump, the tan mom and Mimi Imfurst. They should keep their clothes on.
DeleteI like the list and agree with most. I am so afraid to even discuss politics or religion with anyone. And it shouldn't be like that. Everyone seems so far right and left it's dangerous.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that I don't get is why when I meet a guy the second thing he asks is or you a top or bottom. Major turn off.
The driveway one is a huge thing I don't get here either. Very good list.
ReplyDeleteMore incite into the Mistress! Love the Eve Arden picture.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the nudity thing either. Two weeks ago I was at a art show that featured a section of nudes, and one life model. You should have heard the comments. I even have a friend that complains when I walk around my apartment naked!?! If you can't even walk in your own house naked, you've got issues.
ReplyDeleteTell it Maddie!
I love the list and I'm glad you mentioned #7. Heaven forbid any of us get old, fat, both, or are letters other than G in the LGBTQ alphabet.
ReplyDeleteI also had to look up #10 because I've never heard about it. That sounds scary!
it IS; it is evil; and it's a philly dish, but I have never touched it.
DeleteNow maddie... I need to explore something ... If i was straight i would never accept all straight people ....as many would believe in things totally " not me"
ReplyDeleteTherefore there willbe some gay men i do not support
John, are you referring to #7? Where I'm coming from with this one is I have several friends, who can get vocal while out, about drag queens, lesbians and trans people in the bar. I hear it a lot in the crowds in cities here, saying they are not our community. You don't have to support it, and one should be respectful of their choice of lifestyle. I can't understand why they are so bothered by it? If that's how they feel, they need to patronize a all gay male bar then. Several bars in Philly you won't see drag, trans or lesbians. I guess I should have worded #7 differently. For example, I'm not into leather daddies or that part of the community and don't support it, but I can still respect their choice of lifestyle. I pride myself on my diverse group of friends. I know what your saying though.
DeleteI think the words your looking for is include and respect. I include and respect all aspects of the community, but I know some don't accept. that's the difference here. Everyone should be included and respected. Because I don't accept the huge arrogant muscle boys who think their god's gifts. They won't even talk to a queen, fem guy or lesbian. That I don't get.
DeleteI would agree with many of these also Mistress. I also don't get, Spam, Twinkies, and old man who wear speedos. And yes, I'm talking about my William.
ReplyDeletewe need to see a photo for science, agnes.
DeleteWe have reality all day. Do we really need to see in on the tube? And people doing it badly I might add?
ReplyDeleteOh, don't get me going on Valentina!
ReplyDeleteFun list...some would be on mine too. In addition I don't get... people with no sense of humor, people who wear only black, dildo's that look like squirrels, Kayne West, Jägermeister, Sarah Huckabee Saunders,...that's it for now.......
ReplyDeleteIf your nude at home a lot can I come over for a drink?
ReplyDeleteThings I don't get...skateboarders, country music, child porn, vapor liquid cigarettes.
In my complex people can get fined if they are using their garage for storage instead of their car.
ReplyDeleteScrapple???? Oh god...me too honey.
ReplyDeleteAnd remakes and reboots of shows. Are we seriously out of ideas? The driveway thing would get me too I believe.
There are lots of things that I don't get, but I'd really have to think carefully about it before making a list. It's not as easy as it looks...but you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes - - Scrapple.....and Scrabble!
scrabble...another one.
DeleteGreat list, I will work on this one. Neck tattoos - what were they thinking?
ReplyDeleteGarages = storage :-)
ReplyDeleteBut if the car still fits in it doesn't count,lol
Delete"Gays who don't accept the whole community."
ReplyDeleteAmen!
PS Is six tattoos too much because that's how many I have, though they are all in the same relative location.
No Bob. The tats I'm talking about are the one that completely cover a whole body, or parts of the body, like sleeve tats. Those I don't get. lol
DeleteI don't get: the whole facial hair craze. Man-Buns. Men with ponytails at the crown of the skull. Tattoo "sleeves" or covering the entire body with them. Piercings that create those huge holes in earlobes. Nose and/or lip rings. Trump lovers. "Extreme" sports. All the letters added onto LGBTQ - I know it's supposed to be all about inclusion, but good fucking god we've got the entire Anglican alphabet now. Liver & Onions (shudder). Societies fear of the naked body and fear of sex.
ReplyDeleteThat's all in addition to those things you listed. I'm afraid this list could keep going. LOL. Hugs for my mistress!!!
That's why I love coming to you place...no scrapple for breakfast, and you walk around naked. Must be why the Lad is there a lot? One thing I don't get is Miley Cyrus.
ReplyDeleteI love your list. I'm having a dull brain moment and nothing comes to mind. But our Norwegian cousin had a great one when she was in her 20s and visited us in Santa Barbara, California. Cheerleaders. "But what do they do?" They cheer and build up support for the team while they play. "But why? That's a JOB? Truly?"
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good one too!
DeleteLGBTQ people are a minority. Straights are a majority. Majorities tend to step on minorities if you're not careful. So that's why there's a need for a general acceptance within the LGBTQ community.
ReplyDeleteAs for public nudity, I think I'd need a cold shower every five minutes if it ever came to pass.
Thank you, you conveyed what I was trying to say I think.
DeleteI'd be in the shower with you.
A nice list Mistress. I could be here all day. But the thing I don't get in the queens who trek to the beach here, and pack like they are going for a week. If I go, I take a sheet, towel, lotion, maybe a book, and some cold drinks.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the nudity thing either. The human body is a beautiful thing. I also don't get colored condoms...why? Who wants their dick to look blue or green???
ReplyDeleteI missed this yesterday...I like your list. You can come here and walk around in the nude all you want.
ReplyDeleteAnimal cruelty is a big one on my list too. I addition to so many other things. Cell phone use is a huge one with me.
