18 Things That Make Me Feel Uncomfortable

I'd say about 50 percent of my life is spent in uncomfortable situations.

18 Things That Make Me Feel Uncomfortable

1. Watching sex scenes with my parents in the room

It doesn’t matter that me and my two other siblings are all adults now, I still get squeamish whenever a sex scene comes on when my parents are in the room.

2. Forgetting someone's name (especially someone important).

3. Urinary Tract Infections

Need I say more?

4. Having to pee really badly during my bus ride commute, but not wanting to get up and use the bus bathroom

By the time I finally give in and decide to use the bus bathroom, we’ve usually made it to the destination.


5. Having a young, attractive male doctor, boss, professor or coach

And you realize the age gap is not that large at all ...

6. Watching Taylor Swift rap with Fetty Wap.

Just watch it for yourself.

7. Getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist

The dentist is trying to talk to me, and I clearly can’t talk back, and I really, really want to swallow, but I can’t.

8. Talking to someone when she has something in her teeth or on her face and not knowing if I should interrupt the conversation to tell her, or just ignore it.

I don’t even know what you just said because all I see is that piece of broccoli.

9. The weight lifting section of the gym

Because 1) I can only imagine what the die-hard weight lifters are thinking of my feeble attempts to lift 20 pounds. 2) Men who want to “teach you” how to lift properly.

10. Getting hit on by strangers, especially when they ask for my number, and I really don't want to give it.

11. When people use the word “gay” as a slang term as in “that’s so gay.”

It’s not only because I have family members and close friends who are gay that I take offense to this type of usage, but it’s also because most people in modern society know that this is no longer acceptable.

12. Cross-country races

Your legs kill, you feel like you’re going to throw up, and you can’t breathe.

13. Wearing high heel shoes

After a summer working in high-end retail, I’m pretty sure I’ve taken a few years off of my life simply by wearing heels every day.

14. Witnessing a public fight or argument, especially when it's a parent yelling at a young child.

15. Long car rides

My legs are cramping, I have to pee, and we've been stuck in traffic for the past three hours.

16. Being too cold

I'm one of those people that would rather be too hot than too cold.

17. Having my period.

18. Eating too much peanut butter.

I really feel uncomfortable when I eat too much of anything, but peanut butter is a food I find especially easy to overdose on. How am I down to half a jar after just one sitting?

Healthy Pets

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

9037
The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
