Unlikely Hot Button Topics
It seems like anything you say on Facebook or Twitter these days turns in a hot button topic. People feel very strongly about some of the most pointless things (myself included). Unfriends, unfollows, random snarky tweets from complete strangers – who would have thought that these little things could make people so very angry?
- Pigtails on grown women.
- Disney World vs. Disneyland.
- Babies with pierced ears.
- 50 Shades of Grey.
- Ketchup on eggs.
- Real Housewives of New Jersey vs. Real Housewives of Orange County.
- Baby legwarmers.
- Clothes hung outside to dry.
- Sharing an ice cream cone with your dog.
- Kids with mohawks.
- Backing into forward facing parking spots.
- Curry.
- Redamaks.
- Arrested Development.
- Women who don’t paint their toes.
Have you ever mentioned something seemingly innocent that really set someone off? Did you (want to) tell them to get a grip?

I really want to know what you said about each of these things that set people off.

As you can probably guess, I hate 90% of what is on the list. And the correct answer is Disney World.

Oh, and I got blocked for tweeting a picture of Luke eating a Burger King kid’s meal in response to all the uppity pure food moms. Worth it.

That’s so ridiculous. You can eat crap organic food, too.

You know Redamak’s? I think I love you!
I’m headed to vacation in northern Indiana on Thursday and we’ll be taking the one-hour drive up to New Buffalo at least once.

Hey, Kristin. I grew up in Northwest Indiana, and am not a fan of Redamak’s by any stretch of the imagination. Ha. I just don’t get it. Schoops is way better!
Kristin Shaw
OK, now I’m going to have to block you. Ha! Kidding.
What is Schoops? I grew up in Elkhart.

Schoops is a 50′s diner with fantastic burgers! I think the closest one to Elkhart is Michigan City. There’s also one in Crown Point, Valpo, and (I think it’s still there) East Chicago.
I grew up all around NWI, but went to Lowell HS.
Kristin Shaw
OK, a trip to Michigan City isn’t out of the question!

Schoop’s is way better. And they serve breakfast!

Babies with pierced eggs?? Huh?
And I hear ya on the World vs. Land debate. World all the way!!
I HATE when people back into parking spaces. Around here (meaning in military circles) we call that tactical parking. I get it if it’s wartime and you need to escape in a hurry or if your 2-ton dually truck has a huge-ass bed and will stick out 10 feet into the aisle but your smart car DOES not need to be backed into a space. You’re just taking up room and time for everyone else. KNOCK IT OFF!!

Man, you don’t let anything slide.
I heard on the news recently in Austin that it’s illegal to back into forward facing parking spaces. It came up because Congress Ave. turned into all diagonal parking and people were pulling in the wrong way and they were starting to ticket.

“Clothes hung outside to dry” must have made one of my old neighbors REALLY ANGRY. One time I came out to see my clothes had all been slashed and the line cut down. Like, with a razor blade.
Freaky.

Whoa. That’s some serious rage.
For the record, I just don’t like the smell of clothes hung outside to dry. I wouldn’t go all Edward Scissorhands on anyone’s duds.
