Dh stayed in his PJs 2 days in a row this week. I don't know why but it makes me irrationally angry to go down to the kitchen and see him working away in his PJs and slippers. And why does he have to eat my chips! I got him bbq and sour cream n onion chips so why does he eat my plain chips! He's a loud chip cruncher, especially when I'm watching tv. He rattles the bag to pull 1 chip out, CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH, rattles the bag, etc. Sometimes I think one more chip and I'm going to need bail money. When you need that bail money just come here and ask the Peas....all of us who are driven mad by this exact same thing will have you out of jail in no time!

Thank you all for posting, and letting me know I'm not alone. I'm even a little worried that I might be the irritating one in the house. I'll add to my vents: It's hard never being alone. And even if i am alone for a literal few minutes (like in the shower) I know there's a good chance that someone will start talking to me through the door! Why is everyone always starving suddenly?! It's like they're on the Hobbit meal plan. You've had breakfast. Yes, but what about second breakfast? I'm not sure why this struck me as so funny but I'm sitting here laughing out loud at 6:00. The dog even came over to see what was going on.

So much. My husband deep sighing all the damn time. (Note in the ten minutes since my initial post, he has deep sighed once per minute. Yes, I counted.)
This bug bite on my elbow that I cannot seem to get with the liquid anti itch cream or it is impervious to it.
My neighborhood FB page with its multiple posts every morning about locking your cars at night because people are breaking into them. 1. Is it really "breaking in" if the door is unlocked and they just open it? 2. This happens all.the.time. Why oh why oh why do people just not lock their doors? If you do, the kids who are doing this, leave the car alone and move on to the cars owned by idiots who do not lock them. Why can't you just lock your doors every day? Is it some kind of admission that you have a small dick? 3. Stop carrying on about and trying to get the neighbor's security cam footage so you can show the cops. The cops do.not.care. They have repeatedly told us they do not care about petty crime like this. They will not investigate, they will not do anything about it. If you want to post the footage on social media, fine. But stop carrying on about the cops.
A new neighbor or neighbor with a new big dog who does not pick up its poop. If I find out whose itnis, they are getting a bag of poop on their doorstep.

They wouldn’t say anything because they either don’t care or are oblivious, which is why they leave them like that in the first place. I seriously doubt they would even notice. LOL by the end of the day every overhead light in every room of the entire house would be on and every cabinet door left open, and both of them would probably be outside! Some days I’m passive aggressive enough I would walk through the house, turn on every light, open every freaking cabinet door, and leave them that way. Then if anyone shut them off or closed a door I would turn it back on or open it back up just go save them the trouble. It wouldn’t change a damned thing but it would make me feel better. Ha ha ha ha ha! That is hilarious!

It's like they're on the Hobbit meal plan. You've had breakfast. Yes, but what about second breakfast? This made me LOL. Here’s a typical exchange at our house: Me: DD, what do you want for breakfast? DD: an egg over easy and two pieces of toast. (Me: makes egg, makes toast, gives to child.) (She eats toast and liquidy part of egg yolk, leaving the entire rest of the egg on the plate.) Me: You wanted this, why aren’t you eating it? DD: I don’t want that part. Me: You asked for it! Now EAT it! (She takes two more bites and slides the rest into the dog’s bowl.) ***15 minutes later...*** (DD, rifling through the pantry cabinet...) Me: What are you doing? DD: But I’m HUNGRY! Me: Maybe you wouldn’t be if you wouldn’t have given your breakfast to the dog! I would be less cranky about it if she would have eaten her breakfast and was still hungry after that. But to ask for something specifically and then not eat it and then complain you’re hungry? Yeah, NO.

crazy4scraps , my dd rarely cleans her plate. Always leaves a bite or two. Grrrr! Same! I totally don’t care if she is really, truly full but it drives me nuts to basically throw the healthy food away only to have the kid rooting around for something else junky literally ten minutes later.

Ok I'll join in. I am working in a law office with only 2 other people. Everyone else is working from home. Today is a Friday before a long weekend here in Canada so the partners have told everyone to quit at 2:00 and get an early start on the weekend. Very nice of them. The lawyer in the office tells our receptionist to make sure she leaves at 2:00 too. She says oh no I couldn't what if someone delivers something and on and on how she needs to be at the front desk until 4. She is unaware that I can hear this exchange. She then comes into my area to complain about how it must be nice that I get to leave early and she has to stay because you know reception is so important. 98% of what we do in our office is electronic. We get mail delivery every day around 11:00 other than that 4 or 5 days can go by with no one ever coming in. Stop being a freaking martyr and go home at 2.

I am literally annoying myself because I talk too much! I thought this about myself the other day! I told myself out loud to shut up! Ha ha!! I have serious verbal diarrhea. I think I'm fine and then a work person asks a question and I cannot shut up!! It is bad. My DD is trying to be so tolerant, but I told her I recognize her I'm-being-tolerant face now so it doesn't work. Some days I’m passive aggressive enough I would walk through the house, turn on every light, open every freaking cabinet door, and leave them that way. Then if anyone shut them off or closed a door I would turn it back on or open it back up just go save them the trouble. It wouldn’t change a damned thing but it would make me feel better. I'm with you crazy4scraps and tincin . Why is it so hard to close a door? My front door is always open and so is the powder room door which opens OUT into the hall. I asked my DD if she could please close the doors and she said she would, but every day I close cabinet doors, front doors and powder room doors. I keep thinking this is a tiny thing, but there are a lot of tiny things!!

For me it's the extremes of this situation that I read on FB every day. I'm so sick of the people that jump on any "scamdemic" youtube video. The people who think shelter in place is a conspiracy to tank Trump, you're sheep for believing the media, why don't you care about heroin deaths? Cancer deaths? It's just like the flu! I'm so tired of complaining about having to wear fucking masks/face coverings.
On the flip side are the people that think lifting ANY measure equals you are selfish, wanting old people to die, don't believe in science...I mean, the world can't come to a grinding halt indefinitely. I've seen people on FB get pissed b/c there's a news story that on developing a plan on phased re-openings.

Me again... apparently I'm irritated a lot.
One, put something on a Facebook group for free. Person was supposed to show up at 4. At 6 got a message asking if I could help them load it into their car (No! Germs!) and another at 8, and another at 9:30. I wasn't checking my messages because I thought they were coming at 4 and had flaked out, not decided to try to get it 5 hours late in the dark. So the item is still here...
Second, DH suddenly can't get wifi/internet in his work away from work (our camping trailer in the driveway) so he's now working from a folding table in our living room... and we found out yesterday, he "might" go back to the actual office (a few days a week) in October. That's a whole season and a half from now. We have four kids, the living room is in the center of the house. I told DH he could put the table in our bedroom so it's quieter, I'd clear a space. Nope, nothings wrong with the living room as long as the kids don't interrupt him too much. I thought I could make it through the pandemic, now I'm questioning that whole idea.
I need to do some deep breathing or something...

One of my curbside grocery substitutions is really bugging me. I'm trying to cut down on Diet Coke, so I've been making a lot of ice tea at home. I like the store brand specifically meant for iced tea. Well, they were out of that and they substituted one that is meant to be made a gallon at a time. Not sure how to explain it - it doesn't come in tea bag form, but rather one giant tea "pouch". I don't have a gallon pitcher and it wouldn't fit in my fridge anyway. I suppose I could make a concentrated blend, and then just split it between two containers, but i don't feel like doing the extra work LOL!

Snarling people on community Facebook groups. Mask wearing demanders and mask haters snarling and bringing guns into the conversation. Those demanding the DMV open their doors because their situation is so special. We're all having a tough time so try not to fall off the rail.

We're all having a tough time so try not to fall off the rail. This ... all the drama! It's an inconvenience, but not a tragedy to have to stay home and adapt. Most of us have phones, internet, streaming, plenty of food etc. Most of the biggest complainers certainly wouldn't have survived WWII in Europe. It's not like we are locked in a 4 foot closet, eating one potato a day, with bombs going off around us. This is not directed at anyone or to diminish anyone's vent, but a reaction collectively to all the drama. Truly the tragedy is the loss of life that so many have experienced. Lets just all suck it up so this can be over.

Thank you! We've been playing some games online. I actually was going to host an in person Cards Against Humanity get together last fall, but ended up changing it to Scattergories cuz some of the women are afraid of CAH swellgarfo.com/scattergories/Here is an online site with good scattergory cards since none of us could find our scattergory game we had to use this. I pulled it up and shared the screen..it was with family so we had like 5 people playing, we changed the timer and added 30 seconds and numbered our paper 1-12 etc...it was fun. There may be a cards against humanity online site also. Thank you. We've been playing with the cards scanned in and shared that way. This will be a lot easier
