I either buy cheap (like #1 cheap) or expensive shoes. Anything in between is a waste of time IMO as they don't last long, the heels are cheap plastic and last about 5 wears before you've got to pay $40 to get them replaced. Shoe connection are the worst for charging a lot for very cheaply made shoes.
Funnily enough I have a pair of really cool looking shoes on today that I paid $40 from #1 for and I've lost count of how many comments I've had on them. Can you tell I  shoes?

I would love shoes if I didn't have size 10-11 feet! Not so fun when you can't fit them! Thats the main reason I go to #1 as they have a good range in larger sizes.

I don't get Food Courts in malls. Why does anyone want to eat in them? They are disgusting and it is sunny outside!!!!!!!
I don't get people who use "lol" constantly. It's like it has replaced the full stop.
I don't get why people use Facebook status updates to tell their tales of woe.
I don't get why everyone keeps telling me to have a baby when all they do is complain about their own.
ETA: oh and people who keep having more babies when they can't afford the ones they already have and then expect a handout....don't get me started on that!

Malls have food courts so you spend more time in the mall and potentially spend more money, if you had to actually go home to cook and eat lunch you'd save a fortune.
I love Facebook updates I've got a few friends that live overseas and its an easy cheap way of staying in touch. I've also reconnected with people I'd lost touch with.

Yeah I love FB status updates too but what I mean is I don't get why people use them to tell everyone all of their problems, it's like they are just after sympathy.

I know aye! And it is especially worse when you are a pedestrian and you have the green man and you have to wait because some a***hole doesn't seem to care for the road rules or the value of someone elses life.

I also don't get people who abuse petrol station attendants because they are in a hurry. That was a very very common occurance back when I worked at Caltex. If you are in such a hurry, make sure you have fuel BEFORE you plan to run from your home and make a mad dash to the airport! You don't get to push in line because you're stupid. |
I am so familiar with that feeling!!! I used to work at a B.P in a very well off suburb and people would be SO rude to me! And I was nothing but polite. I had at least 1 customer who was so rude and nasty I nearly started crying. Another customer went mad at me because he rung up and asked when we closed and I said 9pm and then he turns up at 8:50pm and goes mad at me because I'd turned the pumps off already. I explained to him as he was going mad, that we are closed by 9pm, so we must have everything else done before that time. I was so glad when I became pregnant and had an excuse to leave.

why people who are obviously by themselves park in baby parks & they don't even have a carseat in the car to make it look like they might have a baby. |
Yeah I find people do that a lot. Especially late at night and on weekends and it's usually those teenagers and young adults who are going out on the town or going to a party and are too lazy to use the regular parks and walk just a little bit further. Or else they aren't young ones, they are just lazy people! It's not fair on those of us who actually need those parks.

I like food courts...they're quick and easy if you're in town and I can get what I want. I used to go to cafes, but now I can never find anything that doesn't have oodles of cheese and I can't be bothered waiting for them to make something else from scratch. Mind you, in saying that, I can't actually remember the last time I ate in one...maybe before the girls were born???

I've done this quite a few times through my pregnancy! I think with having morning sickness for 8 months so far of my 9 month pregnancy I'm quite entitled to a bit of sympathy Also like lilfatty said its also a way to vent, rather out than in!!
ETA: I should hope that my friends are quite happy to offer me some too IYKWIM?

As a kid we didn't have either stockings or a santa sacks, I suspect mum was worried about waking us up. Everything got put under the tree.
My friend used to get a Santa Sack with a toy and some lollies/chocolates in, I think it was so she had something to play with when she woke up on Christmas morning in her room, unlike my brother and I who used to race out of bed at 6.00am wanting to see what Santa had put under the tree.

That makes sense though Kate, to be honest I think we didn't get any santa presents just a stocking but I can understand a santa sack if you don't get presents as well

We had a small stocking which had lollies/chocolate and a couple of small things. All the rest of our gifts were under the tree. I used to love waking up in the middle of the night, reaching out and feeling that my stocking had stuff in it so knowing that santa had been and then falling back asleep.
