ME!! I curse at people who talk on their cell phones while they drive and yet I'm notorious for doing it myself. I'm such a hypocrite I should be mocked by my peers here at DU.

Also, I badmouth the movie Titanic and yet I own it on DVD.

2. Talking during a musical act.
However, I really try to keep my talking to a minimum while a song is being played. Every once in a while I catch myself talking too much during a song, and I feel bad. I even apologized to one couple at one show.

I cannot STAND people who talk loudly while I'm trying to enjoy the band. :mad:

3. I work in health care
and go to a tanning booth sometimes, and I smoke. I do this while nagging my child about "did you put on sunscreen? You are not allowed to leave this house until 20 minutes after using it, I'm not kidding." When he protests, I tell him that his body belongs to me until he is 18. Had that been told to me when I was his age, I would have set something on fire.

I give a mild lecture to children who show up in my room feeling ill because they got up too late to eat breakfast. I feed them. Then when they leave, I have a morning snack and finish fixing my make-up. You see, I didn't get up early enough to eat and get ready for work.

I tell my child not to curse. I let him buy "South Park". I tell him he has to read and think about how he views political and social issues. I make fun of our pResident, loudly and at every opportunity. I tell him to straighten his room. My bedroom door is closed because my room is a shambles.

Hey, this is an easy game! I could play for hours.

4. My
family is on the Mystic Tan craze (once a week). But when I was little, my mother made me wear sunscreen, and even made my friends put some on. It was quite embarrassing.

12. Yeah, I mortified my child, too.
Put sunscreen all over him, and some of it smelled like baby lotion. Hey, it's what I had. But his friends also wore it when they were with us, whether they be Pacific Islanders, African Americans, whomever happened to be around. They were pissed off about it, too.

But, dang, all we had when I was a kid was zinc oxide. That's some messy grease to have on your face. And ears. And in your hair. And on your glasses.

9. Taking care of their health
And I smoke like a chimney. I eat fairly well, and am in pretty good shape for my age. I haven't seen a doctor in ten years and I hardly ever get sick. I tell people who are always sick that they need to take care of themselves more, while I am lighting a cigarette.

11. Almost anything related to driving.
Edited on Tue Jul-13-04 08:56 AM by southpaw
I am a notoriously absent driver, typically more attentive to the song blasting from my speakers than to the road around me. God forbid you find yourself near me in traffic when I am hunting an errant CD in the back floorboard!

As to all others on the road, however... they had all better learn how to read my mind and drive exactly as I would want them to, else I will curse them for being morons, maniacs, idiots, ass-hats etc.
