There’s nothing inherently wrong with it. That’s why it’s a pet peeve.2. It bugs me because it implies that having a child was a necessary condition to whatever enlightened perspective you now have. Like childless people won’t be able to empathize with your point of view.For example, it doesn’t pet my peeve if someone says, “before I had kids I didn’t realize [how expensive nannies are or whatever]” cause it implies anyone could have realized it, you just didn’t until then.
lewis capaldi, everything about him

Yeah, I don't really get this one either. I think that there are some things in life that one needs to experience in order to fully comprehend the gravity of the situation. I am the oldest of six so I had quite a bit of experience in raising kids but there are emotions and perspectives that I never felt or realized until I had a child of my own.
People that constantly tap their feet
When point guards watch the ball roll up the court instead of picking it up and dribbling it. Drives me nuts.

GPC Wabash Station thread of the day reminded me of a big one.When people do the Star Spangled banner in 4/4 time or mixed meter. Just, everybody stop doing that please.
Whoever sang the National Anthem at the Chief's parade did so in mixed meter . Not sure if on purpose or just lacking a sense of rhythm, but I felt compelled to throw a bone to passranch ITT.
I think we can blame Marvin Gaye for a lot of the odd-metered star spangled banners
Marvin Gaye made an appearance in the vid for playing it straight!I think the reason I would blame Marvin Gaye rather than Feliciano because people didn't hate Gaye's rendition
