I personally resent sisters who openly ignore me in the hall stopping by my house so they can piss in my toilet while out in service. And then like clockwork, they ignore me again at the next meeting and pretend they don't know me.

When I was a kid, I could watch I Dream Of Jeannie but never Bewitched. Genies are ok, I guess.

Having lunch with the CO. Big deal. All those people fawning over him and his wife trying to get a little attention from the big spiritual man. Although I liked going out in service with them as they always stopped for a LONG coffee break.
Having Bethelites visit the cong. They were like celebrities!
Teen get-togethers - not allowed in my congregation. I was astounded when I met my husband and he was involved in a Catholic youth group who did fun things all the time. I felt so cheated!
Commenting at the meetings. Why was it considered such a big deal? I remember practically passing out with nerves before I answered.
