Completely rational irritation: Friday. Friday the 13th. One nurse, one CNA. One discharge. Five admissions within a couple hours of each other. Head = about to explode.

II: in the same vein as @buddysmom80 's II, I can't stand it when people refuse to return their shopping carts to either the storefront or the little cart return. IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING FAR. If I can do it, big and pregnant, than you can do it Mr. 25 yrs old with zero mobility issues and thus ZERO FUCKING EXCUSES! I make a point to say something really annoyed like "OH NO! LET ME TAKE THAT FOR YOU!" and then I return their cart for them. I hope the feel like shitty ass fuckheads.

UO: I love some of the inflatable christmas decorations. I do not love it when that's all your decorations consist of, or if your yard is cluttered with them.

Confession: I have an inflatable christmas decoration. Bean and my neice love it. But we also have a nativity thingy and regular lights/wreaths. I think our house looks awesome.

II: myself, today. I'm being a whiney mc whinerson.

TOTALLY RATIONAL IRRITATION: FUCKING PUPPY MILLS! I fucking hate them with a passion. And anyone who buys from them will have the pleasure of feeling my wrath. The group I volunteer with got a call to go down and rescue some puppy mill dogs that were being housed outdoors in freezing temps. Some were pregnant moms. They were delivering pups who were freezing to the metal fucking cages almost immediately. And adult dogs were frozen (by their urine) to their cages. I'm so fucking steaming mad about it right now. There's a driver from our group heading back from picking up as many as we can take, right now. He left last night, picked up and turned right back around. We're told they're in really terrible condition. /endrant

Confession: if I had the money I would pay someone to pack and move my shit... I have 2.5 weeks and haven't done a thing. I just hate packing!!!! Plus combining two households sucks

II: Ditto buddy's comment about slow ass drivers. I live in the old people capital... If you can't drive the speed limit, don't flip me off because I pass your ass

II: dumb ass hoochies that don't give a shit about their job anymore and therefore people keep coming to me to fix shit. I'm sorry I don't have that access to customer service anymore!! I work in accounts receivable. I'd help if I could... Trust me, it causes me issues too!!!

II: guys that wear pants WITH A BELT that sags waaaaay below their ass!!!! OMFG this drives me batty. Pull your shit up. You walk around with your hand in front of your crotch, it's not attractive. No one wants to see your underwear. If you were my kid, and that's what you wanted to do, then just fucking walk around in only underwear.... It's the same damn thing

hikebikebemerry · December 2013

Confession: I hate when people I have to deal with for work can not understand a fucking simple concept. I also hate that I'm currently the only person setting up for our Christmas party; minus the people from the restaurant that decided TO FUCKING SHOVE A COUCH AWKWARDLY INTO AN OFFICE TO MAKE ROOM- I AM GOING TO HAVE TO FUCKING MOVE THAT BACK, SO TAKE MY SUGGESTION, AND LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE. (Wow. I feel better.)

Confession: I hate that my family won't visit me in CT, but then complains about me a) making last minute plans b) not coming to visit THEM ever.

Confession: Along that same lines, I love my sister- but I hate that she never has anything nice to say and always makes me feel bad about my life.

Unpopular Opinion: I'm with those that love snow! I want to snowshoe my face off, and then drink many delicious beers or hot buttered Souther Comfort.

loves2shop4shoes · December 2013

Confession: I got a dress for my company Xmas party on Rent the Runway…because I didn't want any dresses with sizes that large in my closet.

[Deleted User] · December 2013

Confession: I've really enjoyed not working for the past two months and I'm extremely grateful I got a job and start on Monday but it has been a really nice change of pace not having to go to the office every day.

Irrational Irritation: DMV's in Georgia..I don't know if they're like this in other states but anyways: I changed my name on my license today and I walked into the DMV with a really bad attitude because the lady at the counter asked if I had all my identity in my pocket (which I did duh...I'm at the DMV) and she was like, "ARE YOU SURE?!?!?" and made me pull it out to show her. When my number was called and I got to the desk to change my name, all they wanted to see were my marriage documents. They didn't want to see my birth cert, my passport, my SS card, my proof of residency, etc...GET OFF OF ME LADY.

interngal08 · December 2013

Confession: I can't say "diabetes" without thinking either: diabeetus, 'da beetus, or di-uh-beetus. This pop up thought usually results in me giggling or smiling waaay too much when talking about the disease. At least once a week, at my previous job working with seriously ill individuals and their families, I asked someone "How long have you had the beetus?" Wilford Brimley has ruined my pronunciation.

So, a few days ago I took the kid I babysit shopping for a secret santa present she needed to buy. There was a pet shop next door with puppies in the window, and she begged to go inside to look, so we did. Of course, the puppies were all adorable (what puppy isn't?) and at least the place itself was nice and clean, but I was already angry because I know where these puppies are likely from. Of course they had a sign on the door that said "All puppies from local breeders, not puppy mills." Bullshit. I explained to the kid that no good, responsible breeder sends their puppies to a shop to be sold. [I bought my pup from a good breeder - she has a freaking wait list, interviews people, and only has a few puppies available each year. All parents are happy and cared for and NOT in cages.] Anyways, while we were there, a man came in and asked if there were any beagle puppies available. The store employee said "No, we don't carry beagles because they need lots of exercise as puppies" (um - what puppies DON'T need exercise???). The man then started asked a few questions, and he noticed a sign that said all puppies were "Registered with the USDA". He asked what that was, and the employee told him it was the same as the AKC. I literally could not believe what I was hearing. I was furious. I took the kid and left, and we waited for the man to leave the store. When he did, I told him that the USDA was nowhere near the same at the AKC, and that it was known for "registering" puppy mill dogs to make them seem more attractive to potential buyers. I also told him to please not buy a dog from a pet shop, when there are good responsible breeders out there, and dogs that are in need of good homes in rescues and shelters. I don't know what he thought of a stranger throwing this info at him, but hopefully something will sink in. Ugh. It just makes me so sad that most people support puppy mills because they just don't know any better :-(

buddysmom80 · December 2013

Don't get me started with puppy mills. First time in my adult-hood that I almost punched a grown man in the face. My friend is friends with a guy who owns two or three pet stores in this state and gets his puppies from puppy mills. We were at a party and he told me what he did for a living and I'm like "you're a fucking piece of shit, for real". Needless to say my friend makes sure we're not near each other anymore. I REFUSE to shop at his store even though his one shop used to be walking distance from my old apartment. Fuck him. Fuck puppy mills. There's my other II for the day.

beanbot2002 · December 2013

@buddysmom80 I refuse to shop at stores that sell puppies too

@hummingbird125 I'm glad you said something to him. Whether he wanted to hear it or not doesn't matter. He NEEDED to hear about it. There are a GAZILLION beagle rescues out there for beagles that have been abandoned by people who didn't realize just how much work they are.

csousa1 · December 2013

Irrational Irritation: Doing any kind of work on a Friday afternoon....at work. So blasting 80's music and playing on here are just going to have to count as productive for today.

Confession: I wish I had WAY MORE TIME to be on here and I miss all you crazies like whoa.

Confession: When you hover over the Love-It hearts and they're outlined in black, they look exactly like the one and only tattoo I have. The fact that I have only one tattoo makes me sad pretty much literally every day. In fact, lately I frequently find myself sad that I'm not COVERED in them and have blue/pink/purple/red/whatever streaks in my hair. Watching JM only makes this feeling stronger.

Confession: They finally fixed the heat in the office but I am still cranking my space heater. With it sitting under my mesh-bottomed chair, it's the equivalent of having a car butt-warmer and OH.GOD.YES.

FoxandBunny · December 2013

Unpop op- I hate bacon. With a burning passion. I hate the way it smells, tastes, looks, and feels. It's just nasty.

Confession- While I like BF's extended family, I really hate that they assume that they can stay at his house for however long they like. They have a 13 year old who they are letting skip 2 weeks of school because they want to visit with the family longer. No, you don't do that. Plus, BF is booted out of his room until they leave at new years (they are getting here today/tomorrow) because there isn't enough space for two extra families in the house. And while I love their 3 year old, he is too much of a handful for me because they never play with him and ignore him and BF and I are the only ones who pay attention to him. If you don't want to parent a kid, don't have one!

Confession- I totally broke down last night about the possibility of having to put down my fish. Total crying breakdown. He's sick and he's probably never going to get better and I don't want him to suffer, but I can't think of a painless way of putting him down. And then that just brought up all of my emotions about past pets and it was just bad.

@Swazzle- I've always liked you! I don't know if I was asked that question in my intro thread, but you would have been one of my top. And I'm a newb, so I count.

Elijah is seriously my favorite kid ever. I like him more than most kids I know IRL - I need to meet him ASAP. I think it's so appropriate that it's the two of us that are quoted in your siggy

You need to leave right now. Just GBCK.

When I told him that Auntie Courtney hated the bubble guy, too, he responded "Yeah well that's cause she's smart!"

FoxandBunny · December 2013

@beanbot2002 - I am not leaving. It's an unpop op for a reason. Plus, it just means that there is more bacon for you to have if I don't eat any of it.

Calm down there, killer. It's called a joke for a reason.

Peaseblossom55 · December 2013

Irrational irritation: When I ask people what they want for Christmas and they don't tell me or even give me any hints.

Confession_ I love this job so much, but I'd love to go home and relax a bit before tonight's show.

Additional added confession- I can't believe tomorrow is 6 months and I'll be married. I love how everything is turning out and I can't wait for this day to get here. It is going to be awesome.

FoxandBunny · December 2013

@beanbot2002- I know it was a joke. I should have phrased that better. My tone did not come across the text very well, sorry. I was not annoyed or angry or whatever.

@Swazzle - You're welcome

phira · December 2013

Unpopular opinion: I hate Christmas.

Irrational irritation: When people ask me to order things at work. We need to revamp our ordering system, but we currently don't have a lab manager. I am not the lab manager. Everyone is 100% capable of ordering items and marking them received. Instead, no one does. They just tell me to order stuff, and then when it arrives, they put it away, throw the packing list somewhere I can't find it, and never mark it received.

Grievances: No more intro posts, I beg of you!

Confession: I have been super lazy at work this week. I've been showing up really late (or not at all) and getting as little work done as possible. Some of it is that I'm only JUST recovered from a cold. Some of it is that I can't seem to get the courage to tell my PI why I was out on Wednesday (telling an older dude, "I had debilitating uterine cramps from 8:30am until 4pm" terrifies me).

But honestly, most of it has been me dicking around online till ass o'clock in the morning. And there was also the 4am sex I had last night when my partner got home from the midnight showing of the Hobbit (no, the Hobbit isn't a turn on, I was just really deprived and needed some sex).

Vintagelove4 · December 2013

Grievance: I've been feeling constantly nauseous (24/7), tired, sore, bloated, and crabby for over a month now. I'm sick of feeling sick!! And none of my bras fit anymore cause they've sky rocked in size. Worst freaking part is that even though I failed the pee-stick pregnancy tests it gives me no peace of mind. They never worked for my mom because her levels were to low to for them to detect! So I'm waiting till we go visit my parents in a week to see my long time doctor (the doctor up here says to, "wait it out.") and get a blood test done. I feel freaking miserable.
End vent/rant.

II: I don't know why but our post office hold onto packages for two days after they get here and then they deliver them! The last of my Christmas presents are sitting there right now. -_-*

Confession: I can't stand one of the neighbors kids! We have a special needs kid on our block and this other kid keeps manipulating him into doing dangerous and harmful things. I'm glad I caught him before he tried sliding headfirst down our stone steps!! (We live on top of a hill and they are 10 steep steps.) When I asked him why he was going to do it he said, "Cause M said it would be fun!" M's mom says he's just out of her control. Which brings me to...

Unpopular Opinion: Some people just shouldn't have kids.

edit: spelling

natswild · December 2013

Confession: I wish my brother's GF had stayed in our hometown, rather than moving up here this week. My brother had come here 2 months ago, and got a decent job within two weeks, and had slowly become his normal self. She's been with him for 5 days, and he's back to sounding like an abused spouse. It really breaks my heart. I wish he could see how toxic she is.

HisGirlFriday13 · December 2013

@Swazzle: I like you very much, but I did not do an intro thread, and at this point, I kind of feel like it would be redundant, since I've been posting here for a few weeks.

@KeptInStitches: I "loved" your phrasing, not that you are suffering. I also fell to the Communists this week, and it, combined with my co-workers, is not making me a happy HisGirl.

Confession: I am unreasonably cranky this week. I had big plans with DH for the weekend, all of which were dashed by this stupid snow storm, for which I now must work tomorrow.

Totally Rational Irritation: I have to work tomorrow because my assignment manager has failed to plan properly and wanted to have the new girl, who has ZERO experience in our industry or her job, work solo for the weekend. Given the coverage we are expected to give this storm, there's no way in hell she could do that, so I get to come in on my day off and work. I like the over-time, but I'd rather have the day with DH.

Totally Rational Irritation: A co-worker of mine is going to Disney tomorrow. He told me, "Well, probably they would rather have had me work, no offense, but I'm off." Uhm, (a) that is offensive, and (b) No, I think not, since you annoy people when you do my job and you do my job poorly.

Airing of grievances: The same co-worker as above is currently on the phone with his quasi-GF, whom he met online through a Christian dating site, and although they're "going to wait until marriage," they have had phone sex repeatedly, and he's so infatuated with her they have phone sex WHILE HE IS AT WORK, and that means he is not doing his job, so I'm doing my job and his job, and if he doesn't get his shit together on that, I am going to shove his phone up his nose. Their current phone conversation is about her traveling from Florida to Pennsylvania and her eating habits and meanwhile I need him to STFU and get off the phone because we have work that needs to be done by 7:30 and it's 7:21.
