Pet Peeve #36: When single females (keyword “single”) announce they are “engaged”, but do not have a ring.

This has been an issue with me for some time and was posted on facebook over a year ago (before I got engaged). I always had a problem with females who are hype to get married, and for some reason, it seems like the level of “hypeness” has increased recently. It drives me crazy! Since when did being in a relationship with someone for a long time, living with your mate or having a baby by someone equals being engaged. If you complete college, your degree or transcript provides validation. If you drive a car, a driver’s license can decide if you are or are not riding dirty. If you are married, your marriage license is proof. If you are engaged your RING proves it! Simple. No rocket science here readers. People use the word “engaged” like they say “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”. Am I tripping or do you not need a ring with someone asking you a question? Is that played out? Is that old fashion? STOP LYING! He is your boyfriend, or she is your girlfriend. Ladies, if he wants to marry you, you will receive a ring with a question. Until then, STOP IT! UGH!

Pet Peeve #31a: People who always mention what they are doing with their relationship partner on Facebook.

This has actually bothered me for some time, and I am so glad this is pet peeve #31. While preparing to write this pet peeve, I realized I have many problems with people abusing the status box on Facebook. Unlike Myspace, once you post something on someone’s wall or in your status everyone will see it. This has become pet peeves within a pet peeve. Please, let me begin….

It truly becomes a bit much and to be quite honest, WHO CARES! I think it immediately goes from just putting it out there to people bragging. It seems so immature to always express what you are doing with your boo on Facebook. Ex. My baby took me out to the movies. My baby surprised me with lunch. I am looking at my baby. My baby is sitting next to me. Opening Christmas gifts from baby. Walking with baby. Is it not normal for you to do things with your baby? I do a lot with my fiancé, but I just feel like everyone does not need to know what we are doing when we do something. The problem is not one post or picture, but posts and pictures are ridiculous. Please, spare everyone’s eyes and keep that information between you and your baby. Dropkick! STOP IT! UGH!

Pet Peeve #28: "Adult" couples who wear the same exact outfit.

Disclaimer: By any means I am hating by listing this as a pet peeve. I am engaged to the love of my life, and I have a wedding date, ring, a secured location and etc. I just want to put that out there. Lol

I am not sure who deemed this as cute, but why would you want to wear the same exact outfit as your mate as if you are two-year old twins. Unless it is your work uniform or you are in a choir or some specific group with the purpose of performing, do not wear the same outfit!

1) It is not necessary for everyone to identify the two of you as a couple.

2) Since we are dealing with (ideally) a man and a woman someone is going to cross the gender assigned clothing line for the sake of matching. It typically results in the woman looking like the man because she has on men’s clothing.

3) Are you serious? Really though. You are grown! I need you to stop looking like Jon & Kate Plus 8!
4) No one cares you are together.

People worldwide are throwing up because of this. Therefore, attention! Listen up! I need the ears of all couples who must dress the same head to toe. Wear the same color. You want to pick a color scheme and not dress the same. Warning! Even with a color scheme it can become a bit much. Do not overdo it, PLEASE. If that advice did not help, my final advice is simply, STOP IT! UGH!
