1. Take pictures of their feet.
2. Express their extreme annoyance at this work day and hint that it deserves a much needed alcoholic beverage at the end of it. WINK WINK.
3. Thank their hubby for being the best hubby in the world while their hubby is sitting right next to them.
4. Complain about bad service at a fine dining establishments. “Never eating at Applebee’s AGAIN!”
5. Express their extreme excitement to see their best friends tonight, Britney, Whitney, and Sarah!!! LOVE YOU LADIES!!
6. Take pictures wearing a lot of makeup and looking really preppy while simultaneously making a “hard” facial expression and holding up what they consider to be a gangster sign. Potential caption: ‘Straight thuggin.’

7. Take pictures of undeserving food.

8. Make their status the song lyrics of any Kings of Leon Song.
9. Take a picture of someone they deem inferior to themselves in some way with the question: Really?
10. Write angry letters to companies (Dear EZ PARK, I hate you!), unorganized groups of people (Dear slutty freshmen who think that leggings can be worn as pants..), and non-entities (Dear unseasonably cold weather, WTF?!)
11. Subtly yell at no one in particular while being very specific. “Wow, it’s hard to believe that you think you know someone and then they turn around and STAB YOU IN THE BACK. Will never make that mistake again. EVER.”
12. Document exceedingly mundane activites for the day. “Getting my oil changed today. Then getting much needed groceries. Then it’s off to the post office to return a package. Then stopping by the gyno. Will probably need some gas by the end, so I may stop at the gas station. But I might be tired so I’ll probably just get it in the morning on my way to pick up a prescription. But if I’m not very tired I’ll probably just get the gas on the way home. Again, unless I am tired.”
13. Express their distaste for facebook on facebook and threaten to leave facebook to their facebook friends.
14. Ask seemingly rhetorical questions. “It’s cool to do a bunch of meth and babysit 20 six year olds, right? Hehe.”
15. Write a status in another language. Parce que, Je suis tres intelligente!!
Love,
Mary. A white girl on facebook, guilty of most of these things.

Why only black girls? In fact why not expand to the entire racial septum while you’re at it? (disturbing how you mentioned blacks only but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt) This post was made by a white girl who observed things about herself and others so she made a JOKING post about it. Yours on the other hand would rightly be called racist as it would be obvious you are doing it to be an ass.

Thank you for this wonderful, hilarious, and touching blog. I am a 32-year-old English teacher who struggles with some currently undiagnosed chronic immune thingy (with the bonus side of sometimes crippling anxiety) and I have also recently started camping out at my parents’ house–it’s a humbling, terrifying, and funny time. I also rave at Bill O’Reilly, which my parents think is a riot–and recently follwed a viewing by stomping down the stairs from the living room to my basement abode having a 2-year-old temper tantrum about how my ‘parents just didn’t get it’.
At any rate, it’s comforting to know that there is at least one other adult woman out there, who had their %&$# togeher and then life just–well, combusted. Thank you for writing. I’m a new subscriber:)

I’m sorry to ruin your image of us white girls, but it’s not only ‘white girls’ that do these things. I can name a huge number of different types of people that are, as you say, ‘lame, boring, spoiled, and self-centered’! You must remember not to stereo type one group of people because of something just a select number or people.
It’s people like you, I believe that stereo type people like Muslims, because of course they all must be terrorists out to get everyone who doesn’t believe, right? Or who stereotype hispanics or african americans or anyone who is different from you. Get a life and learn a little about other people. It might surprise you what you learn!
