Didn't your mother ever teach you....

Thought this might be a fun thread. Post a sentence and an example of idiocracy.

Mine: didn't your mother ever teach you to take of your jewelry before playing sports?

Didn't your mother ever teach you that you can only control one person on this planet?

 

[yennyfire]

Didn't your mother ever teach you to not repeat something you didn't hear with your own two ears...

She did, in some roundabout way...

Love this one.

Here's one my mum would always say "make sure you where clean underwear everyday so if something terrible happens you won't be embarrassed at the hospital".

In hindsight, this one is pretty silly really...the last thing I would be worried about is my undies!!!

 

[lyra]

... not to eat anything while walking down the street? (poor etiquette maybe?)
... not to chew gum in public? (don't get this one)

When I was a teen my mom was in the examination room with me waiting for the doctor to arrive
when she discovered that I had a safety pin holding my slip strap together.
Mortified she told me to change slips with her.
We were in the midst when the doctor came in.

Didn't your mother ever teach you to CHEW WITH YOUR MOUTH CLOSED?


I get mad just thinking about it when people like to chomp away with mouths open. Huge pet peeve if you could not tell.

Kinda funny cause thats something I always think about, haha!

That, and shaving my legs just in case something happens (nothing against anyone who doesn't shave)...

That's a major pet peeve of mine too, and also related: smacking of the lips!

I'm getting mad thinking about it, hahaha! I know several people that do both and it makes me want to go play in traffic. SO has a bad habit of it and I always give him the meanest glare...he knows exactly what look it is and then says "just let me eat in peace".......NO!!!!!

 

[atroop711]

Didn't your mother ever teach you to buy new underwear (bra and panty) for every doctors appt

Didn't your mother ever teach you to make sure you have clean underwear on just in case you get into an accident

Thank goodness in our house it's only limited to my kids. Don't know what I'd do if my husband did it too. I'd probably build a barn if they wanted to "chew like a horse" (as I often tell my daughter).

Me: "Are you a cow?"
SO: "No?"
Me: "You should probably stop chewing like one, you're too handsome to chew like a slob anyway "

My mother used to make my older sister eat supper in front of a mirror so she could see how badly she was grossing us all out. It seemed to work though.

Along these lines... my dad chews loudly and it drives me NUTS. And it isn't crunchy foods like chips that are obviously noisy to eat it is stuff like pasta too. ughhhh! So here's mine: Didn't your mother ever tell you not to slosh food around in your mouth when you eat?

 

[Nashville]

Didn't your mother ever teach you to wash your hands before eating?

I think it's gross when I've spent the day with someone and they don't wash their hands before eating, be it at a restaurant or at home. I think "Ugh, how can you touch the handles on the public bus and then eat without washing your hands?!"

Maybe I'm a tad neurotic, but I'm also rarely sick.

Another thing my mom taught me is never drink orange juice at night. She was really adamant about that!

 

[honey22]

My Mum taught me three things in high school that I still remember her telling me to this day:

If it's not on, it's not on.

Don't trust a guy that tells you if you don't sleep with him, they will turn blue and fall off. They don't. And they won't.

Never trust a guy that tells you he wants to lay you down in a bed of roses. (Bon Jovi had just released this song and I used to run around the house singing it all the time!)

Excellent advice!!

My mother always told me to wear makeup and dress very well, even if I would leave the house for 5 minutes to buy groceries. Her point of view, "Well, you walk into the store and your destiny (i.e., he, the only one!) stands there. Are you going to tell him, "wait a moment, I shall run back home and put some makeup on"?

 

[arjunajane]

Never to date a guy that drives a panel van and listens to rock n roll - I have a strong feeling she was referring to my dad
Even though both of these things were out of style by the time I was old enough to date, it didn't stop mum from saying this..

 

[redfaerythinker]

Never go with a man who offers you a bag of oranges.

Seriously, I didn't even like oranges at the time but she told me that every time we went to the grocery store or public place.

 

[iwannaprettyone]

A few more:

*Make yourself happy, cause when you die at least you made someone happy.

*If they gossip to you, they'll gossip about you.

* Marry the man you can LIVE with, not the one you can't live without.

Mum is a wise woman

If a guy takes you to dinner, however he treats the server, that's how he's going to treat you later in the relationship. Avoid the mean and cheap ones.

 

[MagsyMay]

Didn't your mom ever teach you to write thank you notes when someone has given you a gift??

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Didn't your mother ever teach you that "Is your jewelry real?" is an impolite question?

 

[isaku5]

These are great mom-isms .

My mom taught me never to leave the house without enough money for a taxi ride home. To this day, I still follow that advice.
