Tuesdays are the new Mondays.
- When people think ko0ty means “cutie.” It does not and I hate being called cute.
- People who say they are on a “zero-carb” diet and I’m watching them pig out on fruit.
- When we go for Chinese fine-dining and someone wants to order Sweet and Sour Pork.
- When we have “Chinese” days on the menu and it’s always the same 3 things: Sweet and Sour Pork, Kung Pao Chicken and Beef Stir-fry. Most Chinese people I know would never eat that stuff… it’s like our equivalent of Big Macs and cheeseburgers.
- When they charge $7 for a tiny ass bowl of Pho at the cafeteria that’s not even authentic Pho.
- People who don’t eat vegetables.
- I said this a billion times but I’d love to say it again: people who don’t take off their shoes in their house… and then lies on [or rolls around] the floor. Eg. the Kardashians— just watch their show! Just because you live in L.A. where you rarely get rain and snow doesn’t mean you don’t have dog shit, caked cat pee and e-coli under your shoes. And did you know that walking around barefoot [around your house] is the easiest way to keep your feet muscles strong?
- That my belly ring is crooked.
- When girls brag about starving themselves. Is that something to be proud of? If you actually did some research, you can eat all the things you love and still be slim. *points and laughs*
- When you can’t decide what color to dye your hair.
- When Youtube beauty gurus babble on too much in their videos. GET TO THE FREAKING POINT!! I don’t care what you had for breakfast today.
- Don’t understand: the point in making VIDEOS of “what’s in your purse” or your hauls when you can just take a picture of it. I’m nosey but I’d rather take a 30 second glance than watch a 10 minute video of boring babbling.
- With that being said, I hate it when excitedly open a link and it turns out to be a VIDEO or a SLIDESHOW (damn you FitSugar for your endless and annoying slideshows!!).

omg, this list cracked me up so much. i have to agree with you on so may of your rants. esp. the no-carb comment and the chinese fine dining. hahaha
REPLY
Hahaha I couldn’t agree more about YouTube gurus. Can I just say that I hate most of them? I actually don’t even bother watching them because I agree, they talk too much. Like an 8 minute video, and 5 minutes of it is just them talking. SO ANNOYING! And who walks around their house with shoes on? That’s so uncomfy. I love walking barefoot.

I don’t hate them but I wish my internet was a little faster or Youtube won’t lag at times so I can fast forward stuff. I hate it when they babble on… sooo annoying. I guess I’m a reader and would rather do that than look at tons of pictures or watch videos.

LOL ILU!
Same with those those binge & “detox” diets.
REPLY
LOL I love it! I know where you’re coming from on more than half of these. It’s making me want to rant too now.
REPLY
hahaha you’re so angry, it’s hilarious!
REPLY
I thought I was the only one to find haul videos boring. And the worse is that some so-called gurus ONLY do hauls. It’s like “look at what I can afford”

I use to do them (only on my blog) but I rarely do them now because they are pointless and boring.
REPLY
I agree with a ton of these! Except I brag about starving myself sometimes… except I don’t really ever starve, I just budget my calories so I can have what I want, so maybe that doesn’t count. YES or videos instead of slideshows and LMAO on the shoes thing. We don’t wear shoes in our apartment, although the carpet is still gross from spills. + the dog. How do you deal with Mochi going in and outside? In the winter we wipe Rufio’s paws with a towel by the door but when it’s dry out we don’t wash them every time he goes out (that would be such a hassle) and he obvs still tracks in dirt, etc. I love that you used the Kardashians as your example. They probably have maids and service people who professionally clean their floors every week or so.

No that doesn’t count! I mean girls who eats lettuce for 2 weeks and then brags about losing 20lbs.
We have hardwood so there are no stains but she pretty much gets a bath after each long walk (or just a water rinse so her fur doesn’t dry out). If it’s just a short walk then they’ll just wipe her paws and stuff with a wet bath. My parents are paranoid with keeping her clean in the house so luckily I don’t have to deal with it.

Why don’t you like being called cute? What would you rather be called?
Sorry, just guy curiosity getting the best of me.

Oh man, the sweet and sour pork thing during fine Chinese dining is spot on. I’m embarrassed whenever anyone orders it anytime.

Actually my grandma sometimes orders it because it’s her favorite dish (?!) but then she’s the only exception. I guess she grew up poor eating so this was a treat for her.
But anyone else… :@

Weird, my grandpa used to like ordering it too! At legit Chinese restaurants. He’s not Americanized at all. I wonder if it’s a generational thing.
REPLY
KATY, I AM NOT CRAVING FOR KUNG PAO CHICKEN, BEEF STIR FRY, AND SWEET AND SOUR PORK. Those things are pretty common here in the Philippines, sometimes I forget it’s ~Chinese~, but I don’t eat enough of it.
Isn’t kooty, like, bitch? LOLIDK where I picked that up from.
REPLY
It’s so true, being Chinese I don’t know anyone that would eat sweet and sour chicken unless it’s the kids who don’t now how to eat Chinese food. lol I HATE when people wear their shoes into my house and follow me upstairs where it’s all carpet. It’s carpeted for a reason *rolls eyes* And I can’t agree more with certain videos that take forever to get to the point.
BTW, has anyone ever told you that you look like Sharon Chan? She’s a TVB artist/celebrity and you sort of remind me of her. =]
REPLY
Awesome list! And thank you for pointing out people that don’t take off their shoes in their house! That’s just gross, do people not think they might have stepped on someone’s spit?! Or what could be stuck in the grooves of their shoes?! I think it may be more of an Asian thing to take off their shoes in their home.
When girls brag about starving themselves, I feel bad for them because they are missing out on all the good food out there.
Thank you! What type of dog do you have?
REPLY
Girls who brag about not eating make me want to point and laugh as well. How could anyone deprive themselves of food? I LOVE food. I eat tons of things I probably shouldn’t but in moderation and I get a great amount of exercise so it evens out. Doesn’t starvation make you feel like crap? Where do you find the energy for anything without nutrients?
Also, wearing shoes in the house is the strangest concept. Why? Don’t they know what a great feeling it is to come home from a hard days work or a busy day, slip off their shoes and go “ahhhh”?!
REPLY
I’ve been trying to get to the point of my makeup tutorials and haul videos =[ lol
REPLY
Related to your point about walking around barefoot, have you heard about these Vibram Fivefinger shoes? They are sport shoes meant to simulate running barefoot.

REPLY
LOL I love this list. Especially the ones about leaving the shoes on in your house … it just feels so wrong, shoes are meant for the OUTSIDE. Plus I adore my bare feet and feeling cold tiles on my feet (I seriously do, even though my parents yell at me to wear slippers).
And I agree with the Youtube gurus (many of whom wear shoes indoors, I’ve noticed) and they just ramble on and on (mainly that Juicystar07) … I wish there was an option to ‘fast forward to interesting part’ or something. Hope you had a great weekend, lady!
REPLY
I’ve always wondered about the “shoes on inside the house” thing. In Finland we always take shoes off when we come in of the door. ALWAYS.
And in USA you guys usually have full floor carpeting..and you walk on that carpet with your shoes on!! And that carpet doesn’t come off so how can you keep it clean!?!!?
REPLY
I’ve never been able to sit through the guru videos..I get bored halfway when they either take to long to get the package they just bought open…or they ramble for longer than 45 seconds xD
LOL about shoes..I had no idea about strengthening your feet..I wear bedroom shoes like little mini slippers because I’m a bit OCD about the floor and people come in tracking dirt and God knows what…but my room I loove walking around barefoot xD nice cool wooden floors=love
REPLY
Ah yes… the good ol’ keep your shoes on in your house or put your backpack down on the toilet floor and then put it on your kitchen table. WHY??? JUSt… WHY!!!!????? And yes… i also don’t get the point of 10 minute videos of whats in your bag and what you bought… and… they’re not even well done….. so many pauses and “uhms” in between. sigh. I like your rants.
REPLY
Tuesdays are my Mondays, but Mondays still exist so I have that two days in a row, twice a week. BRUTAL.
HAHAHA I can totally relate about the pointless and unnecessary babbling on beauty tutorials on youtube. WTH! Or just any kind of babbling on video in general. If you don’t know what you’re going to say THEN WRITE A FREAKING SCRIPT so I don’t have to hear you “um” and “uhh” for 5 minutes. It’s annoying. sorry, didn’t mean to have my own mini rant in your comments section lol
REPLY
Your new theme rocks!!!
REPLY
Great rant. I know Germans walk in shoes inside their houses and apartments, but we in Slovenia, take them off. That’s good, because most Asian cultures do that, too, so I never have problems to adapt.
Oh, and btw, you are cute and you know it. You know it……

REPLY
Oh man. I’ve always thought “ko0ty” meant cutie! Oops. Haha
And I know what you mean about the youtube beauty gurus. By the time their 10 min video is over, I learned how to put on mascara AND got a dizzying headache to last till the end of the day…
