Tiny Complaints

We know this struggle too in my home. Also see: sad because both entire fists don’t fit in one mouth.

NO.

I have a headache today, after two days of no chocolate and one day of no headache. Chocolate is not the (only) culprit!

I have to go do a volunteer thing today (that I signed up for) and I am tired and don’t want to.

My left ankle hurts. I didn’t twist it, but I’ve been doing a lot of walking and elliptical-running. It should resolve on its own, but now I can’t walk the 2 miles to my coding meetup.

I hate today.

I have to leave my phone on ring so that it wakes me if little bro calls from Ranger school ( He passed!) but now all my notification sounds are annoying me.

I also hate today.

Smacky · April 5, 2019, 12:15am

I like you.

Someone asked a triggering question about the government and I got distracted. And I’m still at work charting.

Also, the weird kinda laugh thing I do when I think about math tests for teachers is the EXACT laugh I had when I told my grad school friends I was moving 3 hours away from grad school to live with my (abusive) ex, that strangely enough signalled doom.

Dog farts! Someone is pungent tonight.

The donation bins I brought 2 giant bags of stuff to dump in on my way to the park with the toddler are no longer there. Gah.

Also someone just passed me on their bike and didn’t ring their bell. I HATE that.

Both my headache pills broke when I was trying to swallow them this morning. (Still need to look for the headache powders!) That actually made them easier to swallow, but ugh, so bitter.

I’ve been waiting for an hour and a half and still no friendly burglars bringing me breakfast in bed

Greyweld · April 5, 2019, 12:59pm

I’ve found my calling.

At risk of possibly revealing where I went to school, I found out my alma mater denied the o-STEM (STEM club for lgbtq students) club official membership because “we already have lgbta”.

So now I have to write a strongly-worded letter.

I’m trying to work from home but the entire corporate network is down. This means there is exactly one thing I can work on and it’s not the thing I want to do. wah

Ckni27 · April 5, 2019, 2:49pm

I am grumpy today and being on the Internet is making me grumpier but I can’t seem to put my damn phone down.

Greyweld · April 5, 2019, 2:53pm

SO MANY TINY COMPLAINTS FOR GREYWELD TODAY.

My contractors who came to my house parked in front of my neighbor’s driveway. Neighbors were understandably annoyed. Me asking “why would you think parking in front of a random person’s driveway is ok? You could have backed up four feet and not been blocking anyone?”

I pushed myself really fucking hard to regulate my nervous system and function today. I did so many things and was rewarding myself with pancakes I’ve been craving for months.

So I sit down, naked, to my pancakes and a woman starts pounding on my door and screaming my full name. I shout to wait, grab a robe and cat (no robe tie). When I open the door, she’s gone. Then comes back and is super calmly like “I need you to sign something” and couldn’t understand any of my outrage or objections. I eventually did over react to her. But only after I’d said "no. I am naked under this. If I put down the cat to look at the paper or sign it, my robe will fall and I will be naked in the hallway with you. You could have given notice or left it for me to sign or left a voicemail "

Then she still disagreed with me and tried to insist I sign, and argued that they gave the notice when they did the inspection a month ago.

I Hate that Ontario landlords are increasingly walking all over tenants rights. And I triple hate the assumption that people owe you a signature. My signature is not free lady. And you only get it if the contract benefits me.

Also my cortisol has hit the roof and I can’t calm down and it’s going to come out as crying. After I got all my shit handled and was happy and calm and had pancakes ready to eat

Hugs. I think that’s a full-sized, not-tiny complaint. I am very sorry that awful person behaved that way. And also sorry that officially complaining requires your precious time and emotional energy.
