Picking up everyone's stuff around the house - and the recycling things that land on the counter - and the shoes that are NEXT to the shoe holders - and the trash that lands right outside of the can. And I am "cranky" when I tell people to pick it up. My family must be spoiled and don't know what "cranky" looks like. My mom was a screamer growing up. I am not. Yes, this drives me crazy! I love to deep clean, but I never get to that because I spend so much time picking up the crap my family leaves everywhere! And I stopped recyling their stuff. I just throw it in the trash. Then I tell them to go and pick it out and put it in the recycling trash (it's just a few feet away). They act like they are so environmentally conscious, but when they don't recycle and assume I will!
I also have the shoe holder problem. They leave their shoes at the front door for me to trip over. So because they can't walk their shoes to the shoe holder (on their way to the kitchen family room) I bought a basket for the front door. They leave their shoes next to it, not in it! And they never understand why I get mad.
I think we live in the same house!

People who don’t pay any attention to the weather and run their sprinklers in below freezing temps and make the roads more treacherous than they already are in a place without the proper equipment to take care of said conditions. (Sorry for the run on sentence!) you must be in the south. Our sprinkers have been off and blown out since October and we won't turn them back on until April/may depending on the weather Yep. TX No one here knows how to do anything in inclement weather. The severity of this storm was also not expected. This will be our second coldest snap on record. |

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 🤷🏻♀️ There are Target instagram accounts? What are they? I love Target! My Target doesn't have the best Dollar Spot either, but there is one 25 min. away that we may go to. I feel the same about Dollar Tree. Ours ins't great and I watch Do it on a Dime on you tube and she has the best Dollar Tree! If you just do a search for “Target” you will get the real Target account and about 100 other people who post all of their favorite Target finds. **disclaimer I am not responsible for the amount of time or money lost down this rabbit hole 😂 |

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. 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?? and bathrooms with no taps would be fine - but only if it was like my elementary school where you stand around the round sink and step on that pedal with your foot to make the water run! Please don’t irrationally annoyed with me for asking this, but is this just a debit card thing? I live in a big city, used my (chipped) credit card for everything (love the rewards) but I’ve never tapped or been asked to tap. I insert. |

My favorite Instagrammer, that used to post cute decor ideas, vignettes, and home projects, has now joined some off the wall, no name, subscription service and I have to pay (not that much, but still) to see her twice a month posts. Granted she still posts on Instagram
every day but is mostly photos of the sunrise or sunset, showing off new earrings and new manicure and all this to Christian background music
or her silly favorite phrase....."Hello Peeps".............grrrrrrr

Wow, the magnetic stripe only credit card terminals were supposed to be gone a LONG time ago. Like 2015! 😲 Those businesses are putting themselves at huge financial risk by not upgrading. huge financial risk? How? None of the SNAP cards have chips in them for example. Here’s the gist of it: |

I can’t find anything savoury I want to eat. I had a cracker but spit it out because it was off. I don’t want anything sweet. Maybe I should go eat some ramen noodles. We aren’t eating for a few hours.

I was making chicken wings for dinner. When I opened the package, it was half wings and half... other chicken parts cut into weird shapes by the chicken wing cutter. I don’t eat them very often and I’m totally annoyed that half weren’t actually wings! Lol I made DH eat the fake wings. And he was happy to do it. I’m such a princess today. DH also sorted all my puzzle edge pieces and put all of them together except the sky. He knows I love doing skies. ❤️❤️❤️

Please don’t irrationally annoyed with me for asking this, but is this just a debit card thing? I live in a big city, used my (chipped) credit card for everything (love the rewards) but I’ve never tapped or been asked to tap. I insert. not irrationally annoyed! lol! it can be either debit or credit card. stores have individual limits i believe. many of them increased their limits due to covid (smart, i hate touching the pin pad now). and i can't remind sliding my card thru - it's either tap or insert. i remember the switch over and don't think anyone here has swipe any more. when my son got his debit card, we set his tap limit at $20. he wants to be able to go the dollar store and get a pop or grab a slice of pizza on his lunch. he loses things so if someone gets their hand on his card, they can only do $20 a day. i love tap. i am thinking about setting up apple pay on my phone. seems like the same idea... just scan and go! |

All the insert machines I see still have the swipe as well. It has come in handy a few times for me when my chip won't read for some reason. |

They have the cutest Valentine’s Day stuff on IG and DH went to three TJ’s this week and all three stores were sold out. Same thing at Christmas. One of the employees told DH you have to pretty much be in the store when the holiday specialty items are put out on the shelves to get those items 😡😡😡 I want those moss bunnies for my mantel too! Here's my irrational annoyance: the fact that you have THREE TJs close enough to go to!! I am SO SO SO envious  |

I can’t remember which one, but there is one that gets a little silly at times. She keeps posting things from the Studio McGee collection and she’s like “Yes! Studio McGee has done it again! LOVE!”. And it’s just a round mirror with a gold frame or a beige storage ottoman. 😑 |

Thanks. So it sounds like something you set up through your bank? Tap isn’t just automatically enabled, is that correct? And can it be set up without a daily limit? Actually, I should look on my bank’s website, sorry for the questions! ETA: Just googled my bank and tap pay and got my answers. Thanks for mentioning tap, I may try to adopt it! |

Is that too much to ask for 🤷🏻♀️ I have absolutely no proof, but my theory is that there are people who have an in and know exactly when the seasonal merchandise will be stocked (or maybe employees) and go in and Buy. It. All. Either to resell or use for crafts to then resell. Some stores don't let employees hold back merchandise so they have a friend come in and buy it for them. I despise people who clear the shelves of stuff like that, especially seasonal items that won't be restocked. I have seen it at Aldis. I looked high and low for something from their special buy advertisement but the shelf was empty. I later spied a woman checking out who had like ten of those same items. Bitch. Again, I have no proof that is what happens, but I would bet dollars to doughnuts that I am right. |

I had seen someone post the cutest Rae Dunn bunny cookie jar on IG. I have never collected any of that, but have a bunny collection and really wanted one. I happened to be by HomeGoods at opening time the next day so I naively stopped in. There were carts of Easter restock all over the place so I thought I might luck out. I searched high and low and found nothing. Then I spied two women with carts full of every piece they had to go out that week. They were reviewing their haul and looked at me like I had 2 heads when I asked where in the store they had found the bunnies. I lucked out randomly the following week when I stopped in with no hopes of finding that but had some time to kill. But I have given up hope on the moss bunnies. |

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??? 😫😫😫 Ooh! What are your baking groups? I will follow them and you. PM me if you want. It’s a good day if our Dollar Tree has dog poop bags, let alone cute seasonal stuff. |

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. Where do you live? That is a lot of rain. I'd hate the clouds, for sure. |

I’m on a few different baking and cookie decorating groups on Facebook like Best Cookie Recipes Ever, Sweet Sugarbelle and Lilaloa’s community groups. Some are business specific for people who own baking businesses where they focus more on the business aspects and less on baking itself. There are tons of them if you do a search. I keep a pretty low profile and don’t really go on there personally. I only have like three friends on purpose, LOL. |

I have a super petty one. But it is irrational. 😂 Dh rarely vacuums but when he does he meticulously wraps the cords up tightly and perfectly on the vacuum. I HATE this!!! I loosely wrap it around and hang on one “hook” so when I grab the vacuum I can quickly have the cord extended to work. After he’s used it I have spend time undoing the damn cord! It’s annoying because why? He half asses many things like leaving cups on the counter but THIS he does “perfectly” - which I don’t want him to do? Lol Oh my, yes!!! I thought I was the only one. It takes so long to unwrap that, and is so unnecessary. My peeve is a friend who’s decided to go the MLM and wannabe influencer route. I’ve followed her on social media for years as a friend, but last couple months she transformed into a super filtered, baby voice, cutesy( read: annoying) faces like constantly rolling her eyes up to the side, cocking her head to the side , calling her “audience”, *guys*, as in: “Guys, you’ll never guess what happened...”. And proceeding to tell some dumb story in four times the time it should take all the while batting those super filtered eyelashes, and making those baby faces. And the MLM product she’s peddling is skincare! Girl, if you’re going to sell me skincare, your going to have to show me your actual face, not some almost cartoonish plastic filtered version. And it’s irrational because i don’t have to do this to myself, I can unfollow. At this point, I’m still watching out of entertainment/cynicism. Just to see what she does next. ETA: full disclosure: it also irritates me because the filter she uses totally transforms her face and makes her more attractive than she really is. In that weird way. |

I’m irritated (same as last week) that our weather forecasters can’t seem to make up their minds. We are forecast (once again depending on who you listen to) to get anywhere from 1-15” of snow. Because of this, I told my DH on Friday he better go pick up some icemelt because we have a steep driveway and an icy deck that I have to take 3 dogs in and out of the house on. But No. He drug and drug his feet and so we ended up going out at 5 o’clock tonight and guess what everyone is sold out of ice melt. I hope the weather forecaster who says we are going to get 1 inch of snow is the one that is right. I’m counting on him. Ha

👍 This exactly! I can't believe that drives someone else besides me nuts. Doesn’t the "hook" on your vacuum turn so that it instantly releases the cord? Yes, but it is still a pain in the ass to free up the cord. Loops thrown over the handle is so easy. I use my vacuum a lot so is is not efficient for me to fight that perfectly, tightly wound cord several times a day. |

I was starving today and was on my way home with a few groceries. I tried to open one of those Tillamook snack cheese- OMG- that plastic might as well have been a steel cage. I finally tore a tiny hole with my teeth- I know-bad- and managed to enlarge the hole a tiny bit. It would NOT rip. Of course I was trying to drive and do this with 1 1/2 hands. I gave up. I really need a pair of scissors in my car.

.......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. I feel your pain. One Christmas I got $500 cash from my bank to deposit into my DIL's bank for her and the boys. No they would not take cash, cash?! So I had to go home and get a check to deposit. Great.. but no she has to endorse it.. they live 1000 miles away!! Like $500 is laundering drug money!?!?!? |

My DD is a busser/hostess at an upscale local mom & pop Italian restraunt, with lots of regulars. When they could seat 100% capacity, it was nothing for her to make $5-600 in cash tips, a week. She was harassed trying to deposit her hard earned cash, to the point of tears, by bank tellers. They wanted her to deposit cash daily. "You are not the boss of me" was strong with this child, and it's continued into adulthood, thank goodness. Our Chase branch has managed to flag her account to not question cash deposits under $1000, after they verified her employment. Crazy shit. |

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?? and bathrooms with no taps would be fine - but only if it was like my elementary school where you stand around the round sink and step on that pedal with your foot to make the water run! Please don’t irrationally annoyed with me for asking this, but is this just a debit card thing? I live in a big city, used my (chipped) credit card for everything (love the rewards) but I’ve never tapped or been asked to tap. I insert. The tap feature on US credit cards is relatively new. My new VISA card allows me to tap. But, not all stores have terminals that allow you to tap! I use Apple Pay from my phone wherever I can. That is a tap feature. I was in Canada in 2019 and everyone tapped their credit cards! I thought when are we going to get that in the states! If you look on the back of your card and it has what looks like a sideways wifi symbol, it is tappable. |
