to the ladies at Target today - at one of their busy times - did you and your extreme couponing really need to monopolize one lane so that they had to open up at least 2 other lanes because you had so many coupons and had to argue over how each thing was rung up?
and I am guessing that those products you had a dozen of each with coupons were on sale and you bought all that the store had, and no one else had a chance to get any
I was just glad that we decided NOT to get ice cream, it would have been a puddle by the time we checked out (and they were still at it at the lane next to us!)
And we weren't the only ones ready to strangle them....

First world problems: I ate too much. Also, the air conditioning is too cold.

DSO I am very sorry you chose to work nights and don't want to work tonight. I'm really quite annoyed that you've done nothing but bitch about work, and anything I've had to say, since you got up. I'm glad we had a nice weekend together, but you can go to work now.

Dear Starbucks Baristas,
You are the SLOWEST STORE in this town. There were SIX people in line in front of me when I walked in here, and now that I am waiting for my drink, there are SIXTEEN PEOPLE in line. Freakin' learn to multitask. There are EIGHT cups waiting to be filled while you futz with that iced tea. If I were downtown, all of those drink cups would have their flavor syrup in them, there would be two getting espresso, and one pitcher of milk steaming. Where is your sense of urgency? One of you isn't even doing anything, including helping out that poor newbie you threw on the register. Next time I want a drink to take with me to the grocery store, I am going to drive three extra miles PAST THE GROCERY STORE because that's how much faster that Starbucks is.

I really wish someone would teach me the words for Laundry Hamper and Trash Can in husband language, because apparently I've been saying them wrong for the past 15 years.
Murphy's Law, it seems nothing we ever try to do can just go smoothly. We were thrilled that a family member gave us the above ground pool they bought last year since they upgraded to a larger size this year. We had sand delivered, put it together, filled it half way, and the darn thing is leaking.

I want to go swimming and my mom removed her pool last year. So now I will have to brave some sort of natural body of water and they gross me out.

YES!!! I want to vent
STBX: how do you think I paid for those tires and brakes? Stop sending me those phony-ass emails for the benefit or your attorney like you're a man of honor when you are not giving me any money. I have our child you don't see. I have the 3 dogs. You so totally suck and I am sickened that I am going to have to look at your smug face on Tuesday. I will resist punching you in it.
Whew- I feel better

I hate being deaf.
And I hate that my period shows up every month, killing my hope a little more.

I really hate menopause. Aside from the weight gain, there are the UTIs. I do everything the way I am supposed to and I am still 40 pounds overweight and getting UTIs. I am soooo tired of being "good" and having nothing to show for it.

I hate that my grandson (and son and DIL) live in Seattle and we live on the east coast and I haven't seen them in a year. I am thankful for Skype tho, if I'm allowed to add that to this post.

The thing I hate about getting older is that my parents are getting older, too. Watching them decline is breaking my heart.
And dear older brother, when Dad does pass away, you aren't going to make Mom do anything she doesn't way to do. So if you're expecting her to sign over any property to you, you're going to go through me and younger brother first. Just because you're the firstborn, you don't get to have things your way.

I put in a request to work five 8 hour shifts as my son is playing on the ALL STAR baseball team, which is a big honor. ANY other time, this is not an issue. Last schedule, you threatened us with this EXACT THING and you scheduled me 5 eight hour shifts the first week of the last schedule.......when I REQUEST IT, YOU DON'T DO IT!!!!!! SO now, I'm gonna have to miss ANOTHER one of my son's all star games because YOU scheduled me at 7pm on Tuesday and of course that's when the next All Star game is!!!!!! I asked another coworker if she'd be able to work four hours of my shift on Tuesday and I'd pick up 4hrs of her shift on Wednesday....so far I got no answer...sigh.....figures. When *I* need a favor from someone, no can do. FML! REASON 2398420938 why I NEED to find a new job ASAP!!!

I am an iPhone owner. I've never owned an android, know absolutely nothing about one, and have no desire to know anything about one. I love my iPhone. That said, quit asking me questions about your new android and getting pissy when I don't have an answer. Grrrrrrrrrr!

Why on my first day back in work full-time after surgery do I have to ask for time off for two appointments at different hospitals 20 miles apart? I know this is the National Health Service but please one appt at 09:30 and the other at 14:00.
I told you my return to work date, I've not worked full time since January and now you do this to me as you can't operate your appointment scheduling system or listen to your patient grrrrrr

I hate that they have to put those stupid stickers on 'every' single individual piece of fruit. I can never get them off of a pear without tearing the skin and then it goes brown in my lunch bag by the time I am ready to eat it. And if I miss a sticker and wash the fruit first, the sticker is impossible to get off once it is wet.
Oh, and I am tired of being 50 and still regular with no noticeable signs of perimenopause. I have been having a period for 39 years now. Enough. I never really minded that part of being a woman, because I have loved being a mother and figured it was a fair trade off, but it's really starting to get old now.

Need.to.divorce.the.in-laws. This. Mine have gone to stay in Spain for 6 weeks with no thought to Dh's Gran who is nearly 90 and frail (though still living in her own home). I don't grudge them a holiday but I'm not going to gush about it with them since I'm also on holiday from work but am now driving over an hour back and forwards to help out Gran in law (who is lovely and I don't grudge helping at all - it's the disregard her daughter has for her that is frustrating me).

I get migraines, so I totally understand the headache thing. However this is the second Monday this year after having a three day weekend that the receptionist has called in sick. I already have a meeting this morning I can't reschedule, so someone else will have to cover for her this morning.

Do NOT call me at 11 at night and wake me up on my LAST day of vacation, which is clearly marked on the schedule, to ask me to come into work because you're short-handed. When I don't answer and you leave me a voicemail, don't proceed to call me FOUR MORE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT! It's called "vacation" and what goes on at work during that time is NOT my problem. If you can't get anyone to come in, then call the boss who lives a few blocks away and have HIM come in.
Now I'm cranky.

It appears ds' car is having some troubles... I honestly just don't want to hear about them today. He's a bit of a complainer, the car is old - I probably don't need to say more.

I need this thread today. I used to be friends with a group of women when my dd was in grade school. It was fun while it lasted, but by the end I started to feel like the personal assistant to the group instead of a friend. 'Can you shorten my jeans?' 'Can you make me curtains?' 'Can you sew these patches on?' 'Can you take my carpool spot today?' 'I can't do my room mom stuff today- can you take it for me?' It was endless. When they started to be generally inconsiderate, it was too much for me. I knew as soon as dd moved on to middle school, I was done. That was three years ago. When I backed away, there was no big blow out- but they knew something was wrong and I was retreating. They didn't waste a second trying to find out what was going on- so bascially, I knew I was right. I wasn't a friend- I was just useful to them. In the three years since then, I have only had incidental contact with any of them. Polite, like acquaintances - but that's it. Out of the blue I got a message from one over the weekend telling me she has a great plan for her dd's graduation gift- and four years to make it happen. She just needs someone crafty to help her out. She wants to turn her dd's various sports jerseys into a quilt to give dd before she goes to college. I said "That's a big one- very time consuming. I've never made one, I've only seen the finished product." She said "Yes- but I have faith in you!" OK- so, I never said I'd do it- and clearly she expects me to just do it, not be paid for it. Not that money would change my mind. I was just stunned that she thought the first message she has sent me in three years could be a favor of this magnitude. I sent her a link to a step by step tutorial and said "These are easy to follow steps. Good luck. You shouldn't have a problem following them." Her response? "Look at you- I gave you four years and you're already on the ball!" I am not making this quilt. I can't even believe she asked.
