Filed under: Celebrities, Julia Roberts
There are a few things in life that truly irk me. People who pound on elevator request buttons as though that’s going to make it come faster, for instance. Grocery carts with one bad wheel. Being put on speakerphone without asking. Those who tell me to “smile!”
And then there’s the party of one — in this case, Julia Roberts — who finds it necessary to use an umbrella the size of Kanye West’s ego, rendering it nearly impossible for anyone else to share the sidewalk.
Really, is it too much to ask to use human-sized coverage? Or perhaps wear one of those stylish umbrella hats?
Yeah, I know, I know… I should just let it go and “smile!”

Family sized umbrellas, women who try to sneak through a door behind you without even attempting to hold it for themselves (lazy bitches)…

Mine: People, who you’re walking behind, don’t bother to hold the door open and it closes right in your face. And drivers who think 7 feet is more than enough room to switch into your lane. God, it’s just so rude.
(Yeah, these just happened today)

I use to work in a factory with a bunch of horny old men. I couldn’t walk to my break area with out at least 5 “smile, it can’t be that bad’s”. I wanted to punch each and every one of their dentured faces in.
Toward the end of my eight year reign, I cracked and simply replied “fuck off”!
It felt good, it felt real good….

She carries the huge umbrella to keep her Birkin dry. Oh, and her wide ass mouth needs some protection too.

Am I crazy or did the entry originally read, “an umbrella the size of Tom Cruise’s ego”?
My pet peeve is people who drive ginormous SUVs with bumper stickers that read “Save the Planet.”

I’m thinking of the killer umbrella that was one of the ‘Q’ branch gadgets in one of the James bond films…

I despise Julia Roberts. She is an atrocious actress whose ego is larger than a million of those motherfucking umbrellas.

I think she is auditioning for Mary Poppins. She was hoping for strong wind to lift her up off the ground. She is obviously upset because it didn’t work and she looks like a fool.

Heh heh heh, ‘might steal my husband,’ nice work, Jewed.
Poor Julia. It must be right difficult going from ‘America’s Sweetheart’ to ‘Who’s that old bag with the triangle-snout and worm-lips?’
I’ll have one of them thar built-for-two-brollies, tho. No more each-getting-the-outer-shoulder-wet bizzo.
Pet peeve: people who stop and chat in shop doorways, which is a variation on Martini Lover’s escalator peeve.
