registry rant

i’m sure you’re thinking “computer registry” - but no, i mean wedding registries.

i got invited to a wedding (trust me, that’s a whole other story) so i was looking up the “usual suspect” store wedding registry sites - the targets, linens and things, bed bath and beyonds, etc. - to see where they’re registered. and i’ve quickly determined that if most people are like this with their registry, i think they’re on BAD CRACK!

now i’m going on the assumption that they have pretty much nothing, because i’m 100% sure a) she’s the opposite of me, miss “i have a complete apartment’s contents stashed, labeled and boxed, stored in the basement” and b) she still lives at home. which means they need EVERYTHING. and i have no problem with that.

however, i have a big problem with the stupidity of people’s registries nowadays.

i mean, going back to the “have nothing” theory. if that’s the case, why in the world would you register for a $50 6-piece corkscrew set? seriously… if someone was dumb enough to get you that and somehow you ended up to where you had no silverware, or glasses, or dishes, or something… do you think you’re going to be able to eat off that?!?!?!? *slams head on desk*

and before you comment about how people have every right to register for what they want… i also understand that… i have every right to mock you relentlessly for it. (never mind the fact that one of their registries proves they have LOUSY decorating taste - yes, i’ve done a poll. it’s been unanimous.) that’s about as bad as *someone who shall remain nameless as well* registering for a 12 pack of pepsi on her target registry. seriously.

i don’t get it.

i guess i’m too realistic… too practical… too logical!
