Things that are currently annoying you

Spoiler: whining

I shoooould change my bedding. Fitted sheet finally gave up and has a big tear in the middle, blanket has acquired Mysterious Stains, I'm pretty sure the sheets haven't been changed since last summer??

But. Changing sheets involves removing everything around the bed, finding new sheets, doing laundry, fighting into tiny corner to get sheet around the top half of the mattress, putting up with a blanket that's not the soft Good one...

[ten minutes of groaning]

 

Yes, but just think what it will be like to go to sleep with fresh bedding having just taken a shower!

 

I'm way too bad at math. We just saw probability stuff, which was what I used to be less awful at in high school, but nope, I'm dull as a spoon. Bluuuugh

 

apparently I am grumpy today, whoda thunk. (And now I'm annoyed that I'm being annoyed by such petty shit today... brain no, stop, that's too recursive)

I wanna Do Something because Energy but we're leaving for dinner soon so I don't wanna get into anything too in-depth that would actually help with the fidgety feels :T and all the tappy games I have are things that need solid chunks of time (and see also: Leaving Soon). [grumble grump whine complain]

Spoiler: I dunno if ignoring boundaries needs a warning

I was calming down again finally and then the maternal unit started getting in my space again :| "don't touch me while I'm driving" is a normal boundary, right?? Even for people who don't have issues with being touched?

 

@Loq its absolutely a normal boundary, especially when you're driving. Focus on the road and all that.

 

Yup. SO may be excluded unless asked not to.

 

Close friend of mine with abandonment issues had a friend of 6+ years cut them off for no reason over goddamn ace discourse and boy I am LIVID. Like. Fighting someone with my shirt off in a parking lot livid. Breaking a beer bottle over my head and demanding someone drive me to the ER livid.

I have no idea where this ex-friend lives, but consider this an open invitation for them to fisticuffs with me in a Walmart at midnight, motherfucker.

 

I would figuratively kill a man for A/C. it's too damn hot T_T

 

I broke my glasses x_X

I can sort of stick both halves back on my face and they stay there but it's uneven and giving me a headache and my regular glasses place won't be open until monday :(

 

Armor Class is important...

Epoxy putty is your friend.

 

Husband asked me to cut his hair. I said sure, but I need to get a real hair trimmer first because his beard trimmer really doesn't cut it. So I get the trimmer today, and I do what I did last time - half-buzz the back and taper it above, trim the top and sides. I do it shorter than I did last time because now it's +30C. It's not the best hair cut, but it's okay. He takes a look and says "nah I want it short all over". Okay, well, his hair, and it's stupid hot, so okay. I buzz it all

...now he looks like babby hus. The cognitive dissonance is REAL. >_<

 

the gay fanfic problem (aka, how do you deal with pronouns when both characters use the same ones) is even harder when it's three people and they're all the same gender

why do I do this to myself

 

A sentiement I am coming to loathe: "It's easy to love and be kind other people, so why don't we?"

No. That's scientifically false. That's wrong. It has been disproven. It is incredibly difficult bordering on impossible to love and be kind to other people, especially strangers, and still out of the realm of possibility for many people to be constantly loving and kind to their in-group. The average person struggles with kindness daily and usually fails to consider the needs of others above themselves because that is how our brains are structured: to be selfish but kind to a point to those in our in-groups. It's unusual and inspiring for someone to be consistently kind to everyone. IT'S NOT EASY. Don't act like people are just heartlessly refusing the simple task of vigilantly and thoughtfully being fair and kind at all times of the day and in every conversation, especially since some people spend their days too tired and worn out to be kind to themselves.

It's. Difficult.

 

Want to play Overwatch with my brother. Tried to log into my old Battle.net account. "Please enter your authenticator code." I quit WoW in 2012. I've moved twice since then. I have no idea where my authenticator is or if I threw it out when I was packing up to leave Houston. Time to turn my closets inside out and hope it's in a box somewhere.

 

So, trying new recipes when you are 1) a relatively amateur cook who 2) doesn't really enjoy cooking, 3) is on a tight budget and 4) has stomach issues that you don't fully understand? It's like banging your head against a wall over and over. Why.

I don't want to throw out the food but I can't eat it either, ugh, I want my stomach from high school back. Not, like, the thinness, the literal organ that could handle slightly greasy food. Aarrgh.

 

It is 107 and this is fucking bullshit.

 

What the hell, parental units. You cannot flip plans on me with no notice/only a few minutes' notice ... MORE THAN ONCE IN A DAY TO BOOT. Can you not read the message I sent you yesterday...that's literally only like three texts up in our thread? Really? I know y'all have problems but USE. YOUR. EYES. Do you seriously not understand that this might be DISAPPOINTING to people around you?? Who might have REALLY WANTED to do those plans with you?? IF YOU HADN'T FLIPFLOPPED???

 

triple-digit weather should be illegal.

 

we went to go see finding dory earlier and when we got there the power was out at the theater. we decided to go to another theater half an hour away in another city and when we arrived, very tired and irritated already, the power was out at that one too.

 

Drilling and reaming precise, smooth, deep holes in 304 stainless is hard, because the material workhardens so incredibly much. The tools keep breaking, and they're expensive, and they take a few days to order more, and I have a deadline. I'm grumbling inside.
