Re: Things that annoy/distress/confuse/frustrate you
It's little, but highly annoying and a bit distressing. But I still love him.

Dresses may be easier to take in than let out, but guest lists are not. -- kate51485
Distress: FI going to Uganda soon. Freaking me right out.
Confuse: The logic behind complaining about bad things that happen to you that you brought onto yourself. Really? You were doing 50 in a school zone and you got a ticket? No way!
Frustrate: I'm in the library right now, and none of these books have indexes. Driving me nuts.
Then he decides to move to FL for the winter. I get a call from the storage people "we haven't received a payment in a few months..." so I call Dad. "Uhm Dad, have they been sending statements for the storage?" I hear Oh I don't know we haven't been there and had all the mail held. So much for having someone state side to take care of this.
Oh, and they will be in FL until late April. Taxes are due April 15th. I'm sure all my tax stuff is sitting in his held mail.
At work I'm in a position where I have to report inappropriate behavior. If I don't, I'LL get in trouble for not reporting it. Well I have several coworkers who are also friends who KNOW that I'm in this position. Well one of them was having a highly inappropriate conversation at work a couple weeks ago. I tried to put a stop to it before it got to the point where I'd have to say something and he kept going. So I did my job and reported the conversation, and he and the other person were spoken to about it. Well now he's mad at me for "getting him in trouble." HOWEVER, he's not mad at my supervisor! I reported to her, she reported to the head of the department, who he "got in trouble with". So he's not mad at her for doing her job and he's still all chummy with her, but he's mad at me for doing my job and won't talk to me. THAT annoys and frustrates me...and pisses me off more than a little.

[QUOTE]Annoy: Right now, my cat. I got him when I was 6 and I am way attached, but does he have to get his gay-love on with my other cat in the middle of the night on my bed? I don't need to wake up to MEEOWOOREEOOW 5 times a night. Distress: FI going to Uganda soon. Freaking me right out.

That pisses me off. Some of my old coworkers would complain about tickets. One guy got a ticket for littering and something else because he flicked a cigarette butt out his car window. Yes, it is litering, and yes, it is <em>wild fire</em> season. You deserve the ticket. Another got a ticket for rolling through a stop sign and went to court to fight it, knowing he was guilty, just to see if he could get out of it. Thanks for wasting my tax dollars.

Distress - We find out tomorrow if we go to "Reduction Option 1" with our school budget. Eliminating my position is part of Option 1. I won't know for another 6-8 weeks if I get eliminated though so I can't start looking for other jobs.
Frustrate - I got this really pretty blue/green baby yarn at the store 3 months ago. I found a baby blanket pattern I want to make that requires 2-3 balls of this yarn. I cannot find this yarn anywhere now, argh!

Gotta love how mommy jumped to her defense and commenced the finger-waving at all us bad, bad brides....
However, I don't want to move unless we're buying a home. We've got this apartment decorated the way we want, it's a decent size, it's a great location, and where he wants to move costs the same as where we live now. The location is good but not as good as where we are now, and there aren't many extra perks.
It's a townhouse, not an apartment. It has a small backyard, and it has a 2car garage.
Those are the only perks. We have a 1-car garage now and no yard, but we have no animals, and this way, the complex mows the grass, not us.
It's 2-story, which is only going to increase our electric bill.
Hopefully I can talk him out of this by the time our lease is up (in a few months)
*Poli, this was actually your recipe for tofu w/peanut sauce and fettuccine. My friend loved it, it was delicious! Thanks again!

[QUOTE]Lately, H's picky eating habits. He can only eat peanut butter if it's in a peanut butter cup, but he can't be around other people eating them or PB in general. Yesterday I made a tasty Asian noodle thing with peanut sauce*, which he loved, but when I told him later it had PB in the sauce he looked like he was going to barf and said he probably won't be able to eat the leftovers. ARGH. *Poli, this was actually your recipe for tofu w/peanut sauce and fettuccine. My friend loved it, it was delicious! Thanks again!

This sounds like my H. He won't eat vegetables but says he loves to eat the eggplant parmesan in the cantine at work. WTF.

Seriously, what is up with that? We need like a big neon blinking arrow to point out to them the logical error here.

Oh my god, that just made my day. We're having a good time reading the posts aloud to each other.
I'm thinking about making that tonight, actually!

[QUOTE]This profile pic from suggested friend on Facebook annoys, distresses, confuses, and frustrates me (and also grosses me out). I think it's the skinless head of a cow or something. I'm traumatized, s<strong>o now I have to traumatize all of you</strong>.
