    There is a thing called Misophonia where people get enraged when they hear chewing or eating sounds. I can’t stand it either, but maybe thats what you are experiencing? I think it can be for any sound which drives people out of their minds, like hearing someone else breathing, too. 

    Oh, definitely — I have no doubt of it; it’s a lifelong thing for me. But even outside of my own issues, I still think it’s a really stupid thing to do in a podcast!

    I'm listening to the Watch What Crappens episode and am about to scream and throw my phone and unsubscribe if Ronnie doesn't stop making wet mouth noises in his Kathy imitation (she has candy in her mouth in his impersonation). He did this in the Vanderpump Rules recap this week too (I forget for who). Just fucking stop it; podcasts are for people to listen to with their ears. It's not funny -- it's enraging!

    Pet Peeves: Aka Things That Make You Go "Gah!"

    People who don't shut the door behind them when coming into the house! This is the weirdest thing that some of my friends have done over the years, and I just don't get it! Happened today -- a friend is here doing some painting for us and, while the door was closed in the sense that it wasn't flung all the way open, it was not like all the way pushed into the frame; it was just kind of resting there (which means that when the common front door to the whole building is opened, it kind of bumps ours open). I don't understand why it's not a reflex to shut the door, like it would be at one's own house (I assume).

    Years ago, I had a couple of friends also guilty of this and more than once, my cat got outside. And it was terrible. Nothing bad happened and I always got him back, but it was terrible nonetheless and I hate even thinking about it decades later.

    I mentioned up above about this ad, that these two people spoke no more than 5 words to each other on this "date." Who sets up a "date" like that??? I also see this ad way too much.

    It's so weird all around! The hug, for instance: not because they just met -- that doesn't bother me -- but because they don't appear to have had a chance to "click" regardless of when they met. And then the super-abrupt "movie's over, OK bye!" of it all; I know it's a commercial and we don't have all day, but no walk to the car or implication of getting a drink after or even standing around for a minute until the Uber gets there -- just a weird hug and walking off in separate directions.

    Between this and the one with the girl in the red dress returning from a date at what seems to be 2 in the afternoon (oooh, maybe they got lucky the night before!), maybe advertisers are confused about how dates work?

    PS dancers are very handsy with each other.  Mo holding hands with his dance partner off stage is absolutely normal.  It just goes with the territory.

    The image I saw looked like they were walking outside together. I would think that's pretty odd if I saw my husband doing it, regardless of whether he's a dancer (which Mauricio technically is not).

    Quote

    They both sure took off fast after Kathy entered the room. Maybe it was editing but it seemed like a quick exit to me. 

    Which would make sense, as there appeared to be a health issue in progress.

    Quote

    whenever a person has wall to wall tats it makes me wonder what they are trying to hide.  

    Most likely nothing (and adding visible swatches of ink to one's body is not the best way to divert people's eyes from anything). Most of us just like them.

    Lala expresses her desire to become a mother again;

    Apropos of nothing, I can't decide if this wording is weird. She is still a mother already whether or not she has another kid. On the other hand, maybe the "again" goes with "become" as opposed to with "mother." Either way, there's a better way to state this.

    Anyway, carry on.

    Perhaps we are supposed to assume that the person has already been to a doctor and has confirmed that it's not a health concern. Is there a disclaimer anywhere in the commercial that mentions consulting a doctor? And does anyone actually use the term "instead of" in the commercial? 

    Body parts -- feet, armpits, junk, whatever -- just smell sometimes, not to mention that different people may have different opinions on what is bad/too much/too strong. I just really don't see what's any different about a commercial for this thing and a commercial for other deodorants.

    I'm in between jobs at the moment, but I'm more productive as a remote worker.  As a single person, I don't have distractions. I start my day with more rest. I don't waste time thinking about work clothes or putting makeup on, unless I need the camera on for a meeting. I save time not having to pack a lunch and whatnot. There are lots of benefits that allow to save my energy for work and still have energy to go out in the evenings should I want to. 

    However, also as a single person, as much as the early mornings, traffic and whatnot can be tiring, I prefer to be in the office every day to working remotely every day. My ideal situation is hybrid with 2-3 days in the office, but being by myself at least 8 hours M-F gets kind of gloomy even for an introvert. So long as they're the nice ones, I like seeing my coworkers. 

     

    With you on all of this; I like WFH a lot, but would take a job (nearby, no more long commute!) that wanted me to do a couple of days in person, just for a change of scenery. 

    I'm lucky; my current position doesn't care if I split my time with household stuff, as long as I am not delaying anything. It makes weekends so much better now, because I don't have to cram all kinds of boring to-do list items into just 2 days "off."

    WAIT! What was in those big boxes that Scheana was carrying into Ally's house? All I know is that I wondered that last night, then Ally started talking about Taylor Swift, we saw a video from god knows when of Ally singing, and then I never found out what was in the boxes!

    Also, Jo seems like a "pick me" girl. I find her annoying.

    YES! I almost added, "Hopefully the 'what if...?' doesn't make it worse."

    I have that: even after something (not everything, always, thank the gods -- just certain things) ends up more or less OK, a little time will pass, but then I start to ruminate over what could have happened. It's a nasty cycle.

    Lala telling Ariana she's wrong for expecting her best friend to avoid hanging out with the man who did her dirty is so fucking hypocritical. Remember Rand? Remember threatening Schwartz because he dared play pickleball with him? 

    If I were being generous, I would think that Lala is telling Ariana this because she --Lala -- learned a lesson by icing people out (and then later un-icing them anyway). But a normal person would, you know, actually say that part instead of judging and yelling and being a real hypocrite.

    Quote

    And Scheana really broke the fourth wall in the coming attractions when she asked Sandoval if his friendship was only for while the cameras were running.

    They all break the fourth wall and have been doing it for a while. Just the fact that they openly mention Ariana doing Chicago and DWtS is an example, as is the notion of people on Instagram bashing Scheana. 

    Quote

    Scheana's gonna Scheana - whatever 😄. I hope her little girl's accident in front of her will have the effect of making her relax!  

    It is possible that it could, in a weird roundabout way; if she can glean from it that shit happens but typically doesn't end in a tragedy,* she may be able to make some steps in her OCD issues. It sucks that Summer was hurt to that degree, and I personally can't imagine not spinning out a little bit over it in Scheana's place, but the experience could also serve a purpose similar to exposure therapy.

    *Not that she doesn't already know that; the OCD just makes people struggle to feel confident of that.

    What the hell is up with the Kleenex lady cooking food on the stove? Is she trying not to sneeze? Does she want to sneeze but it won’t come out? Is she about to die? Whatever it is, she’s really overdoing it with the face acting. 

    And, ugh, Stouffer’s! “Meaty cheesy” is almost, but not quite, as stupid as “happyfull.”

    What I wonder, though, is what is it that we'd want the ads to say? Obviously the manufacturer wants people to know that (and maybe how and why) the product is different than deodorant made only for armpits. So would a more clinical, scientific style be better? Or if the "you can use it on your delicate junk" part was in text only at the bottom of the screen? Or if the person talking about it wasn;t that particular lady? I'm just wondering. 

    Personally, I don't find them inappropriate or anything, but also not silly or funny or especially relatable either. 

    The other thing I don't get about the responses to Lumē is the annoyance that it works for 72 hours, the "just take a shower!!!" thing. I don't think it's encouraging people to neglect normal, routine hygiene, it's just letting them know that if external forces get in the way of it, it's all good -- or, you know, if someone has a legit medical problem that causes some smell issues in this regard. 

    In other news, I actually saw a commercial that made me laugh. I think it was for something to do with AARP, maybe? It showed a guy -- obviously someone who's been an adult for a while -- fall off a skateboard and say, very deadpan, "That was not radical." I don't know why that last part was so funny to me, but it was.

    Honestly, maybe couples should take “live separately” breaks here and there — a reevaluation, or at least a recalibration. I really don’t think I’d be opposed to it in my own life sometimes!

    ETA: Not that I have a spare home for this purpose. But these rich people do!

    And, as usual, I will counter with the fact that we see like 12 minutes of their lives per week -- and far less of PK, who is shown exponentially less than the women. So, we really have no way of knowing what he's doing or not doing, and merely a tiny glimpse into what she's doing. Maybe he nags her. 

    My comment wasn't about only your comment; there are others too, but mostly I mean the general societal attitude. But yeah, it is sexist though. Agree to disagree, whatever...it's all fine, I don't care.
