		<description>Chit-chat in public restrooms. We work together. Talk to me in my cube, or in the hall. 

And a big fat Amen to tracey&#039;s public toilet comment.

		<description>I&#039;ve been reading your posts with interest.  Although I don&#039;t know about this particular situation that&#039;s caused you such grief, I do think I understand the underlying methodology that you&#039;re writing about.  If you&#039;ve read Freakonomics, or even watched the Matrix, you start to see a whole new world of truth.  I struggle with what I see sometimes too, in marketing especially.  I&#039;m a very straight-forward person, so experiencing manipulation of any sort makes my head hurt.

Very thought-provoking posts.

And yes, it does matter.</description>

		<description>Skinny jeans must go.  Only styles that flatter my body type deserve floor space in a store, right?

		<description>Unfortunately, something that must go this week is all my sweet little girl&#039;s dresses. While we were getting her ready for church, the dress I had planned for her to wear barely reached the diaper cover. Then I went for the backup and it had the same problem. To see the bright side of it, at least I have an excuse to go shopping next week.

		<description>Things that must go:

1. People thinking it is impressive that (because they live in a big house) their water bill was $800 last month. Seriously, it&#039;s not something to be proud of.

2. Tanorexia. Once your skin starts looking like a leather saddle bag, it&#039;s time to get out of the sun.

3. People who treat their kids more like trophies than human beings.</description>

		<description>1. The &quot;faux-hawk&quot;.  It&#039;s over people, let it go!

2.  Did I already say the word &quot;MILF&quot; in a previous Things That Must Go?  I HATE that word, and it&#039;s disgusting when I hear women describe themselves as one. Eww.

3.  Seeing women&#039;s thongs above their pant waistline.  

3. Paris Hilton.

I&#039;m sorry you have had disappointment w/ a blogger.  It sucks when someone isn&#039;t honest.</description>

		<description>Hmmm.   

1.)   People who talk on their cell phones, or text on their cell phones while placing an order or talking with a sales clerk.

2.)  TV commercials that have nothing to do with the product they are selling  - in fact you&#039;d never GUESS what they were selling if you didn&#039;t see the product at the very end.

That&#039;s just what springs to mind at the moment.  :)</description>

		<description>Sorry you had a bad experience with a blogging situation... :(

Things that must go: Water (?) on the toilet seats of a restroom by the pool. I mean, COME ON. I know it&#039;s probably WATER, but how can I be sure? If you use the toilet, please wipe it off if you drip ANYthing onto it. PLEASE.

		<description>1. Seeing the generation above me squabbling about the care of their OWN parents.

2. Meteorologists who are usually wrong!

3. Long, long lines at the brand new H&amp;M  in Atlanta.

		<description>1.  Wearing super-baggy pants really low with very visible boxers underneath and a belt securing it around.. my guess... is their thighs.  so gross.

Yesterday I saw a kid-- maybe 17 or so, wearing crazy baggy pants and a super long sports/jersey type shirt over it.  He looked like a little kid playing dress up in his big brother&#039;s clothes.  I wanted to say, &quot;Do you realize how ridiculous you look?&quot;  But then I that would&#039;ve indeed revealed that I am getting old.  

2.  Parents that don&#039;t teach their kids to pick up after themselves and then send them to play, unannounced and uninvited, to my home.

		<description>Uh, maybe the point is that &quot;allure&quot; and &quot;lover&quot; have good conotations, but if you add cigarettes, they ruin it.

I&#039;m tired of the hypocrisy and lying too.  Will you be posting about the ugliness your diligent research has revealed about blogging?</description>

		<description>Alrighty...here&#039;s a few fun ones:

1.  Manicures that involve reallllly long fake nails, more than one fingernail polish color, and fake sparkly stones.  Ladies, less is more!

2.  T-shirts for little girls/tweens that say things like &lt;i&gt;Diva-in-Training&lt;/i&gt;.   Can&#039;t we aim a little higher?

3.  Clothing for pets.   

Have a good weekend!</description>

		<description>1.) Customers who continue shopping after the store closes. Hello! I&#039;m not here beacuse it&#039;s a kick in the pants... I want to go home! 
2.) The average American&#039;s irrational fear of hippies.  They are just dirty, friendly, people.  Like me in the morning.
3.) Political commentary disguised as news.  Tell it like it is people!
