If someone is not in their right frame of mind, and is reeking of alcohol/weed or whatever, I just can't be around that. That's never been cool to me. It isn't now, and it never will be. That's just not my type of crowd.

ETA: No disrespect to folks on here who do drink, get drunk/high. If that's your thing...cool, roll with it.

I partied when I was younger, but I just feel like routinely getting wasted is the domain of freshmen...so being around people my own age who think they're 18 irritates me. It was cool 5 years ago. 5. That should tell you something. To me, being 23/24+ and acting 18 is kind of sad.

Also because I'm not out getting drunk, drunk people irritate me. That's how it goes for pretty much everyone who is sober and surrounded by drunk people I suppose.

For me, it's "black or white". In other words, it either is or it isn't. I don't think age has anything to do with it. To me, drunk is drunk. When I was in undergrad, I partied too, but what does a party have to do with getting drunk and acting like a fool?

I agree with you to an extent, and I'm certainly not saying your thoughts are wrong, because they're not. But for me, I feel that "routinely getting wasted" is the domain of an idiot, regardless of age (to me). As far as it being cool "5 years ago" or however many years ago is concerned, that really doesn't tell me anything, because it never has been cool, to me, and it still isn't. I don't care how old the person is. I wouldn't say they irritate me because I don't and won't go around them. I can't be irritated by a fool if I'm not around one. Again, I agree with you, I just don't think it has anything to do with age. A drunk is a drunk, and a fool is a fool, to me.

I don't know what it is but sooooo many women I went to school with called their cycle "ministration." I don't like it as a topic of conversation, but if you're gonna sit around talking about it, at least get the word right!

It also bothers me when people say "pacific" instead of "specific" and "whep" instead of "welt."

Have you ever heard "belp" instead of "belt" and "remoke" instead of "remote"?

NO! That's a fail if I've ever read one.

Though I do know some southerners who say "foke" instead of "fork." I said "Spell that."

That's fine, I just don't take things so seriously. It was fun to be 18 and doing all the things we couldn't get away with in high school. Wouldn't trade it for the world, just wouldn't repeat it, either.

Depends on what it is for me. I agree with the rest.
