Non-religious pet peeves

Buddy; I join Bruno in encouraging you to hang tough. You can have a boyfriend, or not, only when you get damned good and ready.

'Tis the season for family to ask when I'm getting with thesoyfriend. #aceproblems 

I hated that...and it will never stop. Once you "Get" a boyfriend then they'll ask so when are getting married, then when are you having children, and more children.

I had an Aunt who never married, who never had kids, and who was also a hoarder. She was unrelenting with my sister's and I with questioning us about our personal lives.
One Easter there was a big fight I got blamed for because I was tired of her nosiness. So when she asked me when I was "getting" a girlfriend I replied back, " I dont know Auntie, when are you going to clean your fucking house"? (Exact words. And then all he'll broke loose.)

Unless you have too many children, and then they'll ask you when you plan to stop and there is birth control dontchaknow.

One of the "silver linings", if you will, to the whole cancer thing is that no one fucking bothers us about that stuff anymore.  Or if they do, we can be like "we can't because we'll have crazy biohazard chemo babies", which shuts people up pretty quick. 

We get some "when are you getting married" stuff, but it seems to be more curiousity.  We've been together over 5 years and living together for 4.  Obviously the legalities are not terribly important to us. 

...I would have totally said that to your aunt too.  That's awesome.

I don't think we ever asked any of our kids about their boyfriends/girlfriends.

Well, if it helps you can tell them about this handsome devil you know in Europe. Might get them off your back.

Oh yeah, that would be a great idea. Then I would never be allowed to leave the house.

Tell them you've taken a vow?

What the Rustbucket did there is what the Brits generally call "taking the mick". And I believe it was, in an underhanded way, aimed at me....
Worry not, Asmo. I'm the one he's gunning for.

[Asmodean]

Weeel... The Asmo has seen it before! Compliment The Asmo's Divine Beauty so that He becomes all pleased and starts marvelling at some rattie eating seeds, then Tank slips by and BAM! Luxembourg still stands. 

He's on to it now, He is! 

[Tank]

I like Luxembourg. The Vatican on the other hand 

[Asmodean]

NO! The Asmo will keep that to spite all those pesky Aasmoists. How DARE they!  Besides, a double a like that is pronounced as o in Norwegian.

I hate waiting for hours in lines. People stand so close here it's annoying! Especially when everyone's anxious for the line to keep going, as if literally breathing down the neck of the person in front of you is going to achieve that...Talk about invasion of personal space! 

[Icarus]

^ If it is any comfort, we have that here in the colonies too. I think that personal space is shrinking.

[xSilverPhinx]

I wouldn't want that for anybody 

The colonies? In the US? ??? Are those places with a high immigrant population or something else?
