I wake up in a cold sweat sometimes realizing I'll have to deal with this type of person.

(I first typed cold swear, which isn't wrong either)

Yeah, I felt my neck and shoulders getting all tense just reading that. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 20:43 38
- One of my best friends is a hiring manager in Manhattan and she is always telling me about recruits and employees with helicopter parents. - loosilu Aug 22, 20:45 37
  - There is an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond (yes, that's a whole different personal issue for me) where Brad Garrett has a really big interview - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 20:51 [youtube] 36
    - it saddens me that people remember the plots of everybody loves raymond episodes. -- nm - mafic Aug 22, 21:04
    - what, no segments you could pull from According to Jim to support your point? -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 20:56 29
      - *sob* You mock my tv pain! nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 20:58 27
        
        are you also forced to watch BBT? -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:02 26
        
        When I catch tv, it tends to be Cartoon Network stuff (that is so seriously weird shit btw), but yeah, Mr Wigs watches it. - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 21:05 25
        
        I'm so sorry. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:11 24
        
        I don't get your hatey for BBT. It's refreshing to have a comedy that has jokes that require education and/or intelligence to get and enjoy. - zork Aug 22, 21:30 10
        
        Ooh! Ooh! Ask her what she thinks of Notting Hill next!! - kelly Aug 22, 21:34
        
        the one dimensional nerd stereotypes kill the whole thing for me. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:31 8
        
        I don't find them one-dimensional. - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:33 3
        
        I was forced to watch way too many episodes, and to me they were extremely one dimensional. - loosilu Aug 22, 21:36 2
        
        A lot of nerds love it. *shrug* -- nm - the liioulu on a bench Aug 22, 21:39 1
        
        I'm a nerd and I love it. What other show would have someone dress up for Hallowe'en as the Doppler Effect? -- nm - zork Aug 22, 21:43
        
        and if that's what passes for intelligent TV, you need to get out more. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:32 3
        
        *ding* It makes 2 1/2 Men seem intelligent. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 21:44 2
        
        seriously? 90 percent of jokes on 2.5 are about booze, sperm, or boobs. BBT has jokes involving science, comics, history, etc. -- nm - zork Aug 22, 21:47 1
        
        just because it's better than 2.5 men doesn't mean it is any good at all. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:52
        
        Better than 2 1/2 Men, which is also on Foxtel about 14 times a day. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 21:12 12
        
        Colonel Mustard loved that show! he is about to be promoted to General. I suppose I should find a new name for him. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:24 10
        
        General Quarters, General Lee-Speaking, General Lee-Negative -- nm - zork Aug 22, 21:40
        
        General Chaos? -- nm - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:27 8
        
        General Knowledge? General Anesthesia? - loosilu Aug 22, 21:29 5
        
        Hmmm...does the second fit his personality? -- nm - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:30 4
        
        no. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:31 3
        
        General Service? -- nm - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:35 2
        
        *shakes head* -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:37 1
        
        I'm running out. And can't remember if there are any generals in Catch 22. -- nm - the liioulu on a bench Aug 22, 21:40
        
        There is a clothing retailer here called "General Pants" nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 21:28 1
        
        it's not the first thing I think of, with him. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:29
        
        it's on the poverty channels just as much. there's no escaping it. -- nm - mafic Aug 22, 21:15
      - bery's link filter/blocker is still in place. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:56
    - That was a good one. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:54 3
      - I give him credit--Garrett really knows how to sell that character. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 20:54 2
        
        that is literally the longest segment I have ever watched from that show. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 20:55
        
        He and Boyle were the only reason I gave the show a chance. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:55
    - off to watch this! my friend M has also had parents make the phone call when employees are sick. - loosilu Aug 22, 20:53
