Irrational Irritations

dumdumfroggie

I'm am comletely, irrationally irritated with the fact that so many pants now come with grommet fastners on the back pockets.  Those things stick out and I am constantly getting them caught on things and having them rip out.  Could this be that I'm clumsy and shouldn't be running into things?  Most likely.  Or they could be low quality pants.  But regardless, what's wrong with a flat, old fashioned button?  Come on now.  I'm tired of ruining my pants.

Tell me yours?

Speaking of pants, I am irrationally irritated with the fact that when I buy pants in size "Short", they are still 5 inches too long for me!!  I'm 5'2" so it's not like I'm a hobbit or anything.  I swear they think everyone is a giant!  So now I have to buy pants in size Short and still have them shortened!!!

ETA: No offense to tall people

I am irrationally irritated that my sister came home and is irritated that mom is at work because apparently she promised to bring her to a party at 1. Uh, you've been to two parties in the past two days. If you're a little late to this one, you'll live.

I am irrationally irritated that FI is congested and has begun snoring so loudly that I can't sleep. I have been getting up in the middle of the night and going to the guest room. I don't sleep as well in there and it takes me awhile to fall back asleep. It makes me cranky at him.

I'm irrationally irritated by clothes shopping.  I need pants, but I'm trying to diet, so I'm not buying them just now.  I'm also annoyed at the climate I live in.  Summer is HOT, not warm and sometimes overcast.

I am irritationally irritated (although I guess this could be consider rational) that my exboyfriend, who I havent seen in 6 years, sent me a random message on facebook asking to discuss "nsfw things" about our relationship.  Hello, you are getting married next month and I'm engaged, too.  Not interested.

Oh - also? I just got off the phone with H and I am irriationally irritated that a popular store over there has a massive sale on their games. Now, I know that's how he makes his money. Buying games then selling them. But paying for the wedding + doing touristy stuff with his famly + not selling anything for a month seriously impacted his account and we're pretty broke. Now he is going around buying all these games. What about my visa? Or do you not care about getting me over there ASAP? He assures me the games will sell quickly and it won't make a difference to our financial situation and we'll still have the money to get the visa "soon". But I can't help being irritated because just yesterday he said he was in lockdown mode as far as spending goes.

Gross.  I wouldn't even respond.

I'm (rationally) irritated that my stomach has been doing flip-flops all morning like I'm nauseous.

[QUOTE]I'm rationally irritated that Moose apparently has a bark quote he has to meet each day. He knows he's not supposed to bark (like we'll snap our fingers and tell him no) so he'll sit there all quiet, then when  you look away he sneaks out one last 'BARK!" Then I feel bad because I know he's doing it because he's anxious and scared. And that makes me sad. So I guess there's the irrational part.

<div>Poor baby. Why is he anxious and scared?</div>

I am irrationally irritated that my new office is smaller than my last office. The furniture is also ancient. I'm shallow. I own it.

I'm rationally irritated that I have to go to work today. We never teach on Fridays and had yesterday off. It doesn't make sense to work Monday, Tuesday and Thursday of a week. I really doubt most kids will show up.

I'm not planning on it.  He did this once before a few years ago and I told him off.  Its bad enough thinking about that relationship because he was not a good boyfriend, but it boggles my mind that he wants to have a little chat via facebook about intimacy.  I have the heebie jeebies now.

I'm also irritated that it is so hot outside.  If it was a little cooler I would go to the Farmer's Market, but it is too hot to be out there today.

I am irrationally irritated that I received an email from VS saying today is the last day for their sale. So I am trying to browse to see if I want to pick up anything and the website is crawling and keeps timing out on me. Maybe this is a sign to keep my money where it is.

I'm sure that's no fun for you either Rachers. I hope they finish up soon, it's not like you need your pup's annoying barking to go along with all the other noise.

I am irrationally irritated that MIL kept treating me like a invalid at the cookout yesterday, I get that she was just being nice but i'm 26 if I want some ice cream, I will get it myself instead of you asking me a dozen times, "Do you want some ice cream?" Or "Are you sure you got enough to eat?" "Can I get you more tea?" "Need more ice?" Lol and she wasn't even the hostess!

I'm irrationally irritated that my FMIL keeps calling it "Our wedding" to people as if she is the one getting married.

I'm irrationally irritated at about 50% of the WR questions on E today.  I know this is TK, but some of the questions are ridiculously stupid.

And I'm (hopefully rationally) irritated that people are defending mbuck from her month board.  I love that Petal defended E to them, though.

<div>I'm going to have to check that out. Seriously, why defend that? Was I pleased that my sister dyed her hair bright red, brown, and purple the day before my wedding? Not particularly, she really <em>could</em> have waited one day. Did I care beyond rolling my eyes when I saw it? Nope. </div>

Mari, you reminded me. I get irritated when we go to FILs house. They always make comments about how much I eat. When I first met them and visited, I was nervous so I didn't eat a lot. Also, I can't eat a substantial breakfast at 9 and be ready to eat lunch at 12 so I usually just eat a banana or something. Every time I visit they make comments about "Oh, Petal doesn't eat breakfast" or "Apparently a banana is breakfast" or comments about how I don't eat anything. It makes me more self-conscious and I'm definitely not going to eat more if you keep saying something.

It really almost seems like a board invasion of trolls.  There can't possibly be this many idiotic posters in one week.

Is it irrational that every time I see Cfas post I think in my head "Cfas The Crucifier". Haha.

Commenting on how much (or little) a person eats is one of my biggest pet peeves. It's just obnoxious.

I'm sorry Mari. That's not cool.

My grandmother comments about how I never dress up or put on makeup. I look tired and worn down. Yes, because I need to get dolled up on a Saturday to play cards with you and grandpa. She also tells me cousin that she wears too much makeup. Rationally irritating.
