Things that are currently annoying you

Might try that. I'm probably going to end up hiding under the covers anyways, at this point, because there was a wasp in my room too and I killed it. But it took long enough to die that the electric swatter started to burn its wings, and even then it still wasn't dead because it started trying to untangle itself from the swatter's netting when I cut the power.

I'm pretty sure that it was dead by the time I carried the swatter outside and shook it off. I hope it was.

 

We had one when I was a smol. I had an inexplicable fly problem in my room at one point, and every night my dad had to take the electric swatter and take down as many as possible. This had the unfortunate side effect of making my bedroom smell like burning bug, but it was worth it to be able to sleep undisturbed.

 

It is! We've got...several around the house, and my dad made sure I've got one in my room just in case, once the wasp problem was known. (We've got wasps coming in from somewhere, we're not sure where. The house wasn't super-well built or maintained, but dad's working on sealing up the known and possible entrances where he can get at them. The smell is still around, and probably wasp-killing spray.)

It runs off a battery that activates if you hit a button. Hit the button, electricity runs through the mesh and (ideally) kills any bugs you hit with the swatter - so you don't have to rely on hitting the bug hard enough to kill it, which makes it good for killing flies and wasps which won't cooperate with holding still so you can squish them. It uses a lot of electricity, though, and it's got a warning of "not a toy, don't play with it" on the handle. The ones we've got look like tennis racquets.

 

The mosquitoes are back and one bit me near my eye.

 

The high heels I wore to my sister's reception (which she threw so that family who couldn't make it to the wedding could come visit with us) are just a little too big and now my feet hurt. Also I have a mosquito bite on my ankle.

 

Single scratchy chin hair keeps coming back and is currently too short to get hold of with tweezers.

 

Having to decide what to eat tonight, because I didn't make a plan and so I'm winging it.

Picking stuff out is hard -_-

 

the nature of my studies (no pun intended) means I am outdoors a lot for classes

It also means i can't fucking tell what's dirt and what's a possibly concerning clotting issue bruise

 

Test with a damp washcloth? If it starts to wipe away, it's dirt.

 

I don’t get to enjoy my day off! Mom has decided she’s bringing me on a road trip with her and dad to the empty lot we own in ocean shores, two hours away! So I get to listen to them bitch at each other and sit in a car for hours!

 

I did pretty much nothing today, I have a headache and I still need to cook if I want any sort of dinner -_-

 

Y'ever had a dream that looks to be turning into an interesting story and then woken up before it goes anywhere?

 

Yeah. Makes waking up no fun at all.

 

My sister has to leave for work in less than an hour and is refusing to get out of bed, out of spite. Fuck you, you selfish, egotistical, heartless BITCH.

It’s 10:20. She works at 11:30. I work at 11:30. Mom has a meeting at 11:30. She can’t drive. She relies on one of us for transportation and she’s being a BITCH.

 

this FUCKING power outage!!

 

I just got hit in the face by the fucking recycling can. I hate my life, I wanna knock the can over and stomp it until it breaks.

 

the fire alarm needs its batteries changed but none of us can figure out how to open the damn thing
("press tab and twist," the helpful instruction sticker says, when there is no fucking tab)
so it's just beeping. every two minutes. at 5 in the fucking morning.

 

my kitchen one has started doing that too. except it doesn't beep in a set pattern. it's random. i'm going to die

ETA: turns out it wasn't the smoke detector it was the smart meter, which was getting upset trying to tell me something about my electricity bill, possibly. I poked it until it stopped. problem solved, thank god

ETA: the damn thing's busted and i'm going to drop it in the toilet if it persists in doing this
