People I Don't Care About

The royal family. Actually ANY royal family.
The Kardashians
Anyone on a reality TV show

There are probably more, but my news feed has been flooded with nonsense about these three in particular lately. Plus, my arthritis has been really bad today and I need to project how pissed off I am onto something more deserving than my body.
Opening a bottle of Dr. Sobieski's Pure Rye 80 proof pain elixir now.
End of rant.

The abridged version:
You bring brother in law into the family business. After a while he starts showing up after noon, and spends a large part of the day cruising porn. When we asked him to a meeting to figure out how to split up the partnerships, he shows up with sister and a lawyer. Then spend 6 figures on lawyers and arbitrators.

Didn't realize it at the time, but it was the best money we ever spent.

Moral? While we had partnership agreements, the exit plan was not iron clad.

The list of people I do not care about is way longer than the list I care about. So called celebrities, athletes, TV personalities, entertainers , polititions and Youtube stars is a nice begining of the dont care list.

Anybody on the cover of any personality based celebrity magazine. That’s a pretty complete list.

Although I'd probably recognize all of the primary members of Britain's Royal Family, I'm very pleased that I can say with all honesty I have absolutely no idea what Kim Kardasian or her sibling(s?) look like. I'd recognize Bruce Jenner but it ends with him.

Holy smokes. What a complete heartbreak of a story. I thought you made a typo and left out “in-law”, so I tried to make a joke.
Sad you had to go through that, my friend.

It really was worth it to rid our lives of the negativity. She is a POS, used to verbally abuse our mom. She has not helped, inquired, or visited mom in years, only inquired into the sale of her condo for it's value.

Today: it is a great idea.
(Disclaimer: this isn't about a particular politician or the proposed change but rather that they conveniently change their opinion when it is beneficial to them.)

Damn. I’ve been saying just this week that the Royals are a small assed, white version of the Kardashians.

Don’t need either in my life.
