Another thing that gets me boiling is when these ego-based women force their grandkids to where shirts professing their love and adoration to their "MeMaw".
WTF? You can't gender label your kid, but you can force them to wear matriarchal adulations?
The "Glam Ma" and "Gi Gi" labels get my mouth rolling.
True story:
Mum at a Bingo Tournament in Vegas. I pop-in and over to her table, during lunch break, for a quick update. One of the women sitting at her table is wearing a shirt, all fucking glittery and bedazzled with " I'm called Gi Gi . . . it's way cooler than Grandma ".
So I look at Mum and say, (in not-so-quiet voice): "Hey . . . wasn't Gigi the name of your neighbors poodle that yapped all the time and had no control over its bowels?"
She immediately got up and grabbed my arm and began dragging me over to a beverage station. She wasn't happy (actually she was livid) and told me she didn't appreciate me making comments like that, especially since she had to sit at that table, with these women, for the next two days.
And then she started laughing. I mean laughing! All the while saying "That was awful, what you said!" over and over. She was laughing so hard, thinking about that damn dog, she literally ran to the bathroom because she was about to wet herself.
When she came back, she's now all serious (because I almost caused to to have a humiliating and public accident) and once again she reminded me she didn't appreciate me saying things like that, in front of the other women. I apologized, wished her luck and left. All was well.
To this day, she will me call to report any "Gi Gi" shirt sightings . . . always laughing and talking about that damn poodle.
