I follow a few “influencers” on Instagram (I know, I know...) and they almost all have new babies. So many of them feed their babies puréed baby food out messy finger foods AND DON’T USE BIBS! All those cute clothes covered in messy, sticky, slimy baby food and drool and I just can’t handle it. Why not use a bib to protect their clothes? Do these influencers change their baby’s clothes after every meal? I have so many questions! When I see one of the many messy baby food videos on Instagram stories I skip through it immediately. 😂
What is irrationally annoying you today? Yes, in realize my annoyance is totally a first world problem. 😆

The lack of "pull a number" or a roped off line, at the deli counter in the grocery store.
The lack of the store clerk calling out "who is next?".
The entitled people who seem to think can walk right up, and the moment the clerk finishes with current customer..... they ask for what they want.
I always observe who is already there...red shirt lady, then guy with little boy, then me. Not "Mrs in a hurry think she's next".
I will use my loud voice when necessary. SHE IS NOT NEXT! SHE IS NEXT(pointing to red shirt lady), THEN HIM, THEN ME. We've all been standing here waiting our turns. Mrs in a hurry is fourth in line. Red shirt lady thanked me for speaking up. Mrs in a hurry, said...oh, I'm in a hurry and gave me one of those if looks could kill looks.
She huffed and puffed and sighed, while waiting for her turn.
Had I not spoken up, she would have cut in, took a turn before those would had been patiently waiting for their turn.
I hate those type of entitled people.

I loathe the sandwich and deli counters at Publix because of the reasons you mentioned.

I get grossed out by parents letting their baby/toddlers eat off the restaurant tables - no napkin, no plate, just putting the spaghetti directly on the table. Why? Do they eat like that? Nope, they have plates. I just don't get it. |

They don’t use bibs and they also let their kids climb all over the countertops in their bare feet and diapers when they’re cooking etc.. No wonder nobody likes home baked treats anymore. 🤢

I’ll be really irrational with my pointless anger. I’m about done with rain after about 5,000,000 days of rain in the past few years. Sunny or partly cloudy used to be the default, with occasional periods of rain. Rain is now the norm, and if the sun happens to shine once in a week, we have to pay for it with another solid week of “rain chances” and “soaking events.” Done with it!
Also the phrase “shots in arms.” Had enough of that one.

And if I see one more shot of someone getting a needle in the arm.....😩 |

You said irrational, so here goes. I had a dream that DH tore out a window seat in our front bedroom to build shelves. Now I am mad at him. It was a dream!

in general, i get irritated when when of my kids uses the word "social influencer" or uses the amount of followers to justify why i should know who someone is.
but....
i get irrationally irritated when my tap doesn't work using my bank card. ohhhhh now i have to *insert* the car AND punch my pin. puh-leese!!!!
that is how it was for YEARS. how long has tap been a thing? and i very quickly have gone to "this is soo barbaric".
although i do just roll my eyes internally because i realize how stupid i am.
and since covid, when stores don't have tap, i see them go after the cashiers and it's just rude. i was at lowe's dept store and the lady ahead of me demanded joan the cashier (she had a name tag) explain why no tap. i am pretty sure her last name is not "Lowe" and she works there for not more than minimum wage, and i doubt they ask joan for her input on decisions at the big meetin's!!!.

Not taps in the bathroom? That's just plain gross. Somehow I think you're talking about maybe something else and for the life of me I can't figure it out. in general, i get irritated when when of my kids uses the word "social influencer" or uses the amount of followers to justify why i should know who someone is. Hell that happens to me on 2peas. People post about someone dying, being fired, getting trashed in the media. I am like who??? And it's some influencer etc.. |

My brother making a big deal about taking my mother to dinner tonight with his fiance. Earlier in the week I told him she is having a tough time with the first anniversary of my father's death and it would be nice if he took her out of the house once in a while rather than stopping by mid-week while she is working and thinking that is doing his duty for the week. Because it is VALENTINE'S DAY. Get over it. It's a hallmark holiday. We just spent months planning his engagement, then months planning his surprise birthday dinner with the family last weekend. I know he is still in the loved up phase but get a grip. Have dinner with your mother and then drop her off and go home and get it on with your fiance.

tap like when you pay for your groceries with your debit card and it has a little chip in one end of the card.... you can just tap the debit machine with your card and don't have to insert the card and enter your PIN. is that not a thing everywhere?? My credit cards all have chips in them, but half of the places I shop you still need to swipe it and their machines don't accept you inserting. Not a thing here at all. We still have cash only mom and pop businesses though so yeah.. boonies!! |

I’m annoyed that my family ate all of the giant double chocolate chip cookies I made before I had a chance to take a photo of them. Now I’m going to have to bake the last five I have holed up in the freezer to get my picture. (In their defense, I only baked eight of them and it was on Monday, soooo...)
And part two of my irrational vent is that people on my baking groups keep posting about all of these awesome things they found at Dollar Tree to use for staging photos, things that no Dollar Tree in my area EVER has on the shelf. Cute baskets, stick on subway tiles, wood grain Contact paper WHERE ARE YOU??? 😫😫😫

My husband leaving his empty soda cans in the sink knowing I can’t wash dishes until I deal with them I’ve been lining them up on the cabinet when he dies that so he can deal with them. And yes I’ve told him to stop leaving you gd soda cans in my sink.

Like 2015! 😲 Those businesses are putting themselves at huge financial risk by not upgrading. |

And yes I’ve told him to stop leaving you gd soda cans in my sink. My family likes to pile up their dirty dishes in or around the sink instead of just putting them IN the empty dishwasher that is RIGHT THERE. Come on people. It’s just not that hard. I could almost understand if the dishwasher needed to be unloaded, but 75% of the time that isn’t the case. |

The town on HGTV's "Home Town" is my home town. It's where I grew up and my mom and family still live there. I get so annoyed at the people in the show's FB groups who live on the other side of the country who think they know every little thing about the town - and they don't. I really want to tell some of them to STFU.

Our Target dollar spot never has any of the “good” seasonal stuff. I keep seeing all the cute things on the various Target IG accounts and there is nothing at our store. The side of kid crap is fully stocked, the side of season stuff nada. Not sure if people are really wiping it out as fast as it is stocked or if they aren’t getting anything but it looks like the place has been looted. It used to be so good before covid <sigh> All I want is one of the moss bunnies for my Easter collection. Is that too much to ask for 🤷🏻♀️

You said irrational, so here goes. I had a dream that DH tore out a window seat in our front bedroom to build shelves. Now I am mad at him. It was a dream! Don't feel bad. When I have dreams like that, and think it through, I often realize I was angry in the first place (for rational or irrational reasons) and my dream was just trying to give me a place to put it. I dream I am lost when I can't make a decision. Or dream I am trapped when I feel overwhelmed in real life.
I am annoyed today about all the ways my electronics seem to be taking on a life of their own. My car emails me when it needs a service. My printer sends a pop up when it needs ink changed. Then it sends a message to HP to send me another order of ink, and I get a message from PayPal to ante up for the invoice. My fridge wants its filter changed. Some days it feels like I am surrounded by a bunch of whiny toddlers...

I want to buy something (a specific thing, not just spend money randomly) and I can afford to buy it but can’t make a decision to just do it. Along with being justifiably annoyed with myself now I’m irrationally annoyed as well.

No wonder nobody likes home baked treats anymore. 🤢 One of my cousins has 5 kids, and she is always posting pics of her kids climbing on the table, sitting on the counters in their underwear, etc, and it grosses me out. I once had 4 little kids, and I don't think any of the ever sat on a table or kitchen counter, even fully clothed. So yeah, that annoys the crap out of me when I see it. LOL |

I gave up on bibs after my 2nd. They wouldn’t stay on correctly, didn’t cover the vast majority of their clothes, and the kids would freak out if I dared wipe their faces with it (but a napkin was just fine). Also, the food always manages to get UNDER the bib. We’d just change them and throw their clothes in the wash with stain treater. Usually came out fine.
I am irrationally angry that I have to prove to one of the banks who I am every single time I want to deposit a check into my account. Just put the damn check in there! I don’t have to do this at my other (preferred) bank. I should not need to tell you my password, mother’s maiden name, AND the last 4 digits of my social if I want to stick money in the bank.

Group texts - especially of disparate people or even people that don’t even like each other solely for the convenience of the sender.
It’s not that hard to copy paste and send separate texts to separate people.
Drives me batty - but probably irrational because it is not big of a deal, but I sure let it bother me!

two things.. the family that takes plates to ktichen, doesn't check if dishwasher is dirty.. and just plop them down.. then I get mad at dh.. dirty dishes go in the sink or to the counter to the right.. so I know they are dirty. but he always put his dirty dishes and coffee cup to the left.. then I miss them cause that is where I put misc clean dishes.
before I put them away.
the other thing is I have an adult child with autism. 2-3 times a year, I get a jury summons for her and I have to get a doctor's note to get her excused. I do reuse the letter if it is within a few months.. but the next 40 yrs of having to get a doctor's note. she can never be on jury duty.
