Steffi you're talking out of your ass. You need to not have any pets. At all.
Leisel, those pictures are gorgeous.
I'm irrationally irritated that we went to a venue open house thing that was a waste of our time. I'm also irrationally irritated that the golf course chose this morning to mow behind our house since they ususally do that on Wednesdays. Fianlly, I'm rationallt irritated that I forgot to pick up salad stuff for me to have for lunch this week.

[QUOTE]I'm irritated that my apartment complex lists the clubhouse as an amenity that "can be rented out for your next family get together, meeting or private party", yet when I went up there yesterday to ask about my BM using it to as a possible location for my shower I was told that they don't rent it out anymore. What the hell is it for then?
Posted by CFM102012[/QUOTE]

That's weird and annoying. You reminded me that I'm annoyed with our apartment right now as well.

1) They lost our request for a new lightbulb in the vaulted ceiling and a to fix our shower head. 9 days after making the original request we call again and they say it will be fixed in 48 hours. It was 72 hours.

2) They listed that they installed a new shower head. The shower head has mold or some kind of purplish substance on one corner of it. H took a picture and showed them at the office. They were going to fix it and they still haven't 3 days later.

3) This one is irrational- I don't like that packages are just taken to the office builiding if no one is home and dropped in a random room that everyone has access to. You're not required to show ID or anything when you take it from that room. I just don't feel like packages are safe.

Posted by midgetthemighty[/QUOTE]

Mdige-that is kind of weird about the packages. My old complex used to have you show idea unless they recognized you. That sounds like a recipe for someone stealing some sh*t.

I do miss having the ability to call someone and have someone else deal with fixing things that are broken. However, I do not miss dealing with all the other hassles of apartment living. I read somewhere that the average cost of rent is going up too so now renters are going to get gouged in rental prices.

JessAndTrav · July 2012

It really irritates me that right above the "Etiquette" link there's the effing drop-down menu. I roll over it on accident all the time, and I regularly get re-directed because I click it thinking it's the Etiquette link.

::shakes fist at TK gods::

zizibet · July 2012

Midge, ugh.
I am not ratioannly irritated that a good friend's now-ex-is posting pompous messages about his "new life journey" on FB. Unfriend city.

midgetthemighty · July 2012

Jess, I do the same thing all the time. Aggravating.

Calix, the first time I had to pick up a package from there I brought my ID with me because that's exactly how I thought it would go down. I even asked someone in the office and they said "No, you're fine".

I may be slightly paranoid about it because H's first paycheck couldn't be direct deposited and was therefore FedExed and hasn't shown up. H thinks the company got our address wrong because the apartment numbers are letters, not numbers and they originally had it has a number.

CFM102012 · July 2012

Midge, That's what they do with packages here too. If i know something is coming and I probably won't be home for it, I post a note and ask them to take it to my neighbor. As long as you sign the note they'll leave it with whomever you want.

</div><div>Our club house is this nice big room with a kitchen, couches and tables and the leasing office. I just went up there to get mail and ask about it. The property manager was headed out for a showing but said she'll be back in about 15-20 minutes. I'm going to go back up and ask for clarification/explanation. I get not renting it out to non-residents but I've lived here for 4(?) years and FI has lived her for about 6 years.

</div><div>ETA-If I <strong>am</strong> able to secure the clubhouse but it has to be in my name/I pay the rent on it, does that get too close to me hosting my own shower? BM is planning it. I've given her a small (3-5) list of things I'd prefer she do or not do but that's about it.</div>

I have my primary executor (husband), two backups (father/uncle, both are older), and as a last resort my attorney who would be paid a percentage.

The fees for the animals come out of my life insurance so the recipients would not have to pay taxes on them. Yeah, I've thought a lot about this. I had many weeks of sleepless night last year.

I don't have a large estate, but I really did go through a living hell last year with my friend and her estate was pretty well in order. I would like to leave everything the same if I drop dead. I also have a power of attorney, health care power of attorney, and a living will. They weren't expensive and I'm very well prepared now in case I have a major accident. You know, one of those things that always happens to someone else. I also have long term and short term disability and life insurance.

My husband is not so well prepared. Such is life.

Edie, I'm rationally irritated by my inability to type. Sorry I missed that.

And I think my orig post about this was a rational irritation.

midgetthemighty · July 2012

CFM - I think you'd be fine. To me, that's just a technicality because your name has to be on the paperwork as the one renting it. That doesn't mean you have to do anything else for the party besides show up.

I'm rationally irritated that I have a sunburn, even though I put sunscreen on. As well as the stupid traffic light that was out on one of the major highways, causing a clusterfvck at the intersection. I'm also irrationally irritated that I have to deliver mail today around the office. Irrational because it IS part of my job, but normally the other receptionist does it and because I'm terrified of delivery mail because it makes my anxiety got through the roof.

semay23 · July 2012

Ooooh can I join in?!

I'm irritated that we are supposed to be meeting with the caterer this evening, and FI was supposed to call at lunch and let me know where we were going to meet. BUT his phone is dead! Grrr!

FI does know the town where the caterer is located AT ALL, and neither of us have been to his actual office. So unless his phone magically recharges in the next 15 minutes, I have no idea what the plan is, or if he is even coming! IRRITATED!

midgetthemighty · July 2012

Thank you. I've worn glasses since the 4th grade so not wearing them never made sense to me and other people asked about it too. Weird. You wear your glasses, it sounds like they are as big a part of you as they are of me.

I'm quite rationally irritated that I have a mosquito bite between my boobs, right where my bra rubs. It's torture.

FTR, my parents will take custody of any and all pets and/or children upon the death of both H and I. They also get a nice chunk of change from our life insurance policy.

seesawgirl · July 2012

Hi there everyone. I am irrationally irritated at our wedding photographer. We were married at the end of April, and she told us our pics would be done by the end of June, at the latest. On Thursday, she emailed me saying that she had some pregnancy difficulties and was ordered to be on bed rest, which was what was causing the hold up. Of course, I told her to take all the time she needed to rest and take care of her baby, the pictures will still be there when she recuperates. However, over the weekend, she has been posting pictures on her personal blog of her out with her husband and son out on the 4th of July, and updating her Facebook page with pictures from a wedding she shot 2 weeks ago. I have no problem with her taking time off for her baby, of course, and I realize that many people wait much longer than 2 months for pictures, it's just that I feel like she has been dishonest. I'm calling the irritation irrational, because I realize she has a life too.

Girlie1030 · July 2012

Now I'm irritated that Tom Cruise is going to play Jack Reacher. I love those books and that character. Bleh.
