Tiny Complaints

I’ve been very irritated with a very good friend lately and I’m having trouble sorting out why.

I hate the parking lot of my doctor’s complex. I hate people who block the entire right of way waiting for a spot and then give me the finger because they think I’m trying to steal their spot but I just can’t get around them. :expressionless::expressionless::expressionless:

I’m having a period. My last one ended a week ago. I used to like nexplanon. Right now it can go fuck itself.

My mother-in-law is aggressively asking about babies since we got married and regularly reminds us that we’re “pushing 30”.

I mean, I love (and agree with) the woman, but it doesn’t feel good to be nagged.

Soooooo… it’s raining again and I give up.

Coworker dumped a bunch of work on me, due tomorrow, that I had specifically asked him last week if he needed/wanted help with. And went on vacay (fam wedding). And then other people kept bothering me with other things so I had to stay late.

Plus I got in like 5-10 min late due to a weird traffic thing delaying my bus and had to “sneak” into a presentation, which was embarrassing/unprofessional. Just not a good work day…

There is a setting to set an account inactive (or closed or something) that they didn’t used to have an indeterminate while ago… Might help? Sorry for vagueness.

Yep, this! If you go in to edit accounts, you can set particular accounts to inactive. I did this when I paid off my car – that way I haven’t lost the payment history and its affect on my finances, but I don’t have to see the damn bank accounts everywhere. I don’t know if that helps your particular problem, which sounds buggy and annoying, but could be worth a try.

My office was cold and I am now cold and have been cold all day. Mostly because I couldn’t find my stockings and need to buy new ones anyway. But buying clothes is hard, since the best place is online and I get overwhelmed. Whine waily waily waily.

I had a very realistic dream that I had cancer and was dying in the next day or so. I woke up thinking it was true.

I do not have cancer, for the record.

Also today I hurt like a motherfucksr.

went to the pool at my normal time to swim before work. Found out that swim team practice now takes up all lap swimming time except for 6am-7am. There are no other options, in the morning or in the evening because 6 hours a day is dedicated to swim team for the entire summer. I should be supportive, because that was my life as a kid/teenager…but right now I’m grumpy, I only got to swim for 15 minutes, and I don’t want to get up early enough to swim at 6am. I am grumpier than this situation warrants, because this is one of many examples of my small town catering almost exclusively to kids and retired folks, and completely forgetting about normal working people in almost everything that happens.

That is a 100% shit dream, I do not approve. :frowning:

I have had two anxiety dreams involving summertime snow killing my garden, in as many days.
This surely has nothing to do with the fact that it is still Ass Cold out and I still cannot plant out my basil.

Oil filter is stuck on husband’s truck - stuck as in, he gave up on trying to get it off after two days and took it to a shop (he’s never had an oil change done at a shop). Currently he’s sending me text updates - five guys down in the bay under the truck, looking at the filter and scratching heads and asses while they try.

Update: sixth guy just arrived.

Update to update: Victory! Only took six guys and a cheater bar.

I’m so sorry you had to deal with that, but the mental image of six mechanics being defied by a filter has me laughing at work!

It’s pretty nice out today, though not super-warm, and I have to spend my evening cleaning my apartment because someone’s coming over on Saturday and my apartment is foul and covered in cat hair and scattered kitty litter and dregs of spat-out-and-then-licked-up wet kitty food (ok, the latter is just some bits of the kitchen floor). And I’m not going to have time to do it after work tomorrow.

I hate sweeping and mopping. HATE IT. I would rather scrub toilets. Oh hey, I have to do that too, the toilet’s gross.

Saw snack ideas online. Purchased ingredients. Made snacks. Was vastly underwhelmed :frowning:

This happened to me with spicy roasted chickpeas - I couldn’t get the texture right. I thought they would be like roasted soybeans (crunchy).

Oh when I roast chickpeas they do get crunchy :slight_smile: I love roast chickpeas. Gotta season after cooking though, or they won’t crisp up as well. I just use the Kitchn recipe.

Mine was just a flavor issue :frowning: the flavors just didn’t blend well IMO.
