2. Little Helpers: Every time I drag all my kids to the store I get the comment from some sweet old person, "You've got yourself some good helpers there." NO, no I don't. Look at the age of my kids, they ain't helping on this trip. I realize it is just a throw away phrase, and what these people mean is, "Awe how cute, little people who aren't screaming." But if you think about it; it is a really stupid thing to say. Helping is the exact opposite thing they are doing. It would be like saying, "Looks like you got some little kissers there," to someone being attacked by mosquitoes.
3. Campaigning at Church: Someone in our ward is running for public office today and while I like this person, I was disappointed by their inability to resist the temptation to campaign at church. They passed around sign up sheets so they could get on the ballot. This is so not alright at church. I am also disappointed by the ward for asking this person to speak at a ward activity just days before the election. What an unfair advantage, and unspoken vote of support. Why not wait a week and ask them to speak then?
4. Picture People: Those people who take pictures of you at church or other functions despite your protests must go. Look I have serious self esteem issues, and while you don't; you should respect me when I say I stop it. Somehow they think I am just being modest or that they are really doing me a favor. Well you aren't. NO MEANS NO!

AMEN! I absolutely cannot vote for someone who interrupted my worship to literally shove a political endorsement in my face, and then caledl me a non-friend for politely declining to sign his petition, and THEN told me that I "might as well go ahead and sign anyway" because my husband already did (which was a lie, btw, because my husband had signed nothing), as if I'm not allowed to hold my own opinion and think/vote for myself. No thanks. Not to mention the fact that the last time I voted this person into a position, he did a terrible job and I was embarassed to admit I had endorsed him in the first place.
And here's the thing...while I have a mile long list of reasons not to vote for this person and am happy to share them with anyone, I would never share them at church or a church sponsored activity, because church is for everyone, and since our political opinions are not supported by the church, they just don't belong there.
So true! I hate the non-spout caps too. I spill every time.
I agree with all points on this list, and am glad I wasn't at church for the politics thing. barf.
Totally agree.
I'm a salad dressing 'dipper' in the first place. The last thing I need is a spout that pours even more.
Evading political pressure at church is crazy. Did it backfire, or what?
Tonya made me take your pic!!!! I'm sorry!!!
Amen to the salad dressing...I think they do it so that you go through much more dressing and have to spend your hard-earned cash on more dressing. I have wasted so much with these new caps!
