Easily Annoyed..

savedbygrace1213 · October 2017

So I know we've had a similar thread in the past, but I feel like we almost need a weekly thread of Think That Annoy me This Week! I mean, is it just me or is everything annoying these days!? Feel free to share what is annoying you today/this week!

@triplejplus1 Your picture is perfect because that is what's annoying me right now! Someone else mentioned in a past post about their dog licking them and my dog does the same damn thing every.single.time.he.sees.you. It doesn't matter if he just saw you 2 seconds ago he will try to do it again but he's not sneaky about it, he's all up in your face about it. We've pretty successfully managed to get him to not jump up on me when I get home because he always put his paws on my stomach but the licking thing is something we just can't break. He always goes for the mouth (especially gross because I know the other things he licks, like his own butt!) but he'll lick anything, ear, cheek, he's licked my hair on many occasions. DH says it how he shows love and I understand but come on, ease up dude! We tried the water bottle but that wasn't really successful with him and we can't use bitter apple on ourselves haha. Overall he's good and very protective of his family but the licking needs to stop.

Edit: Can't spell

Everything!
Having to do literally anything other than sit on the couch is annoying me.

The owner of my son's daycare REALLY irked me this morning. He goes to a family daycare so it's at her house and very personal (generally a positive). We started potty training last weekend and it was going very well until yesterday. This morning my son had an accident on the drive to daycare. I was changing his clothing when we got there and she gave me grief about potty training in the fall because it's cold and how we should have done it over the summer. That's great, and we probably would have done it over the summer, except that we completely changed his schedule/routine around by having him start daycare mid summer. Then, once he adjusted we were going on vacation (with a flight) mid September. So, summer was a no go because too much change at once, and September was a no go because of our vacation.

We started last weekend because it was a long weekend, daycare was closed on Monday, so it didn't involve us taking any extra days off too keep him home. Then she suggested I keep him in diapers for the 5 minute drive from home to daycare. Because that's not confusing for a 2.5 year old. We're either potty training or not. Diapers only for sleep. Thanks but no thanks for your "advice."

My annoyance for the day: Our town has a water issue (high nitrates) and letters are sent out monthly warning babies, expecting and/or breastfeeding mothers, and elderly people to not drink the tap water. So my issue is, the only restaurant in our town uses the tap water and does not provide water for these people. Which is really dumb anyways because if it is not safe for some of us to drink, it is probably not safe for anyone to drink. So every time I got there for lunch (which I just did today) I have to take my own damn water. And that is just ridiculous! So now I am getting ready to send an email to the manager..

Literally everything and everyone annoys me this pregnancy. With my daughter I was weepy the whole time this time it's a boy and I'm always annoyed

cford08 · October 2017

My DH. So annoyed. I feel like I'm STILL the only one happy I'm having this LO. I get he's busy doing stuff for work but I mean damn. Show some interest, I'm having your kid.

kalawa · October 2017

I'm on the boat of " everything annoys me". In no specific order, these are the worst. People who cry over "spilled milk". So the garbage tore a little and opened. Boo whoo. It's outside. Pick it up, wash your hands and quiet. I clean up vomit, and poo...soooooo yah. Bad drivers. Please, pull over for the 45 firetrucks honking behind you. Inconsiderate people. I don't know if it's how I was raised, or the city I grew up in...but...when I see people with a stroller, wheel chair, elderly, anyone right behind me, I hold the damn door anyone.

crossfitbabybump · October 2017

Literally everything. WHY!?

stlbuckeye132 · October 2017

Pretty much anyone who tries to talk to me. Go away. I just want to be home in bed with my dog (who is also a licker but not when she's being cuddled).

barrelocarol · October 2017

The dumb customer service people I call who show zero sympathy for a situation their company caused, for which there is zero recourse.

I get it. You don't care. But stop mansplaining and being so detached. I'm just so pissy this morning.

tabbicat11 · October 2017

At times everything annoys me. My son was “reading” his Bible last night and though I was so proud that he was “reading” it I also wanted to put it somewhere that he would never find it! Also, my husband thinks it’s hilarious when I get like this so he just ags it on!

mdfarmchick · October 2017

So MH had a work thing in DC that we found out about in September which is only a few hours from my parents’. So we bought plane tickets to come and the week before our flight my grandfather ends up in the hospital with breathing problems due to his routine cardio version a few days prior. My mom has a crazy sister and all five of the siblings are taking turns visiting him. I’ve been balancing my visits around having someone watch my two year old in an ICU waiting area. I am so annoyed with MH for his lack of support in general and I know at least 50% of that is stress and the other 40% is probably pregnancy hormones and 10% is deserved. But dang. DS has been a mess this week with sleep and listening and it’s been raining since Wednesday. My mom is gone for 6-12 hours a day between the trips to the hospital and checking on my grandfather’s house and her crazy sister being crazy.
Anyway we leave tomorrow and I’m just feeling a lot overwhelmed. And everyone says something different about if he’s dying or not and if he gets to go home or not and it’s just been a rough week.

kiki75 · October 2017

Four full business days of a toilet wagon being my only bathroom option. I'm still trying to keep this pregnancy quiet for a couple more weeks so I'm wearing shapewear. That has basically a bra closure at the crotch. I'm trying to hook that back up and tuck my shirt in and stuff in these tiny stalls in this stinky bathroom with poorly designed sinks with too little clearance between the water stream and the side of the sink.

BBQ chicken for lunch all week. BBQ is on my strong no list right now. I hate even having that smell wafting over.

Trying to book a bazillion hotel rooms from my phone.

And on and on and on.

DDRRT1982 · October 2017

My son's father is a complete assh*le. There, I said it! I have spent years making excuses, but the reality is that he is a selfish assholes and now my son is paying for it. To make a long story short, they had a holiday at school, but he still had practice for football that day. My son has been busting his butt with football all year and for the second time in two months my son's father just electively chose to not take him. The part that pisses me off the most is my son basically asks and begs him and he just doesn't do it. Caden wasn't able to start this last game, which was homecoming, because he missed Mondays practice. Starting is apparently a big deal for him and it sucks that it wasn't his fault. I've always offered to do the things he won't, but it's like some skunk pissing contest with him and he just tells him no. I can see it hurts my son and disappoints him. My son has a bunch of stuff coming up for ROTC that is part of his participantion grade and I am just praying he supports him with that. I really don't want to send another email apologizing for his Dad's lack of support and skewed priorities.

HappyMonkey817 · October 2017

Braxton Hicks, constant peeing, swamp crotch, my husband's whistling, my toddler's moods, the weather, the news, and bad drivers.

stlbuckeye132 · October 2017

@mdfarmchick that's a lot to deal with. I hope your grandfather gets well!

bb3vj3n · October 2017

Honestly - I'm annoyed with myself. Pregnancy has made me so lazy. Sometimes even when I'm feeling ok i still laze around and get nothing done. my house is a mess- there is no food. I've never been like this before...DH is doing everything he can to help out. I couldn't possibly ask him to do anymore. He's literally doing everything.

muggle621 · October 2017

@bb3vj3n I'm right there with you! My husband does basically everything. I feel bad but I have to get my ass in gear this weekend to help sort through things to get the nursery cleared out. Ugh.

I have been getting so angry at everything lately....shit I hear on the news, someone blowing their nose too close to me, the weather.....I'm sick of feeling like this!!

savedbygrace1213 · October 2017

@bb3vj3n I'm feeling the exact same way! I have zero motivation, and I can't even blame feeling crappy because I have been feeling fine! I was just wondering what I am going to make for supper, and I just don't want to have to make anything.. We never have leftovers so then I'm always eating out at lunch time and when my husband gets home late, he has nothing to eat. What is wrong with me! So I am right there with ya, being annoyed with myself! And my house is also a disaster with dishes and laundry piling up. I've never wanted a to hire a maid so badly.

syssa-o · October 2017

Everything is pissing me off. For some reason my son decided it was a good idea to start jumping up and down like the floor was a trampoline and H started talking at me and I couldn't even hear my own thoughts so I snapped and am now hiding under the covers with a massive headache that has been brewing all day.

ShawnnaO · October 2017

I sent my best friend a snap about moving/my husbands job, and another one about how I was excited to finally get to hear baby's heart beat again today after a month of BH contractions and I got literally no response. 95% of the time I'm usually not the kind of person who gets upset when someone doesn't respond to me because we're adults and have things to do. But I live on the other side of the country from you and I'm reaching out to you about these things and it just kinda sucks a lot to be ignored.

syssa-o · October 2017

I'm expecting H to be reading my mind at the moment. They just went for a "quick drive" aka get DS out of the house so I don't go full girl interrupted over here and I'm for real hoping he comes back with Starbucks, dinner or both.

justkeeptrying · October 2017

My husband.

I'm sorry. I love him. So much. But he is just driving me nuts lately. Nothing in particular. He's just breathing too loudly.

I'm a terrible person.

nancysimp · October 2017

People on the train to and from work....who don't ask if I want a seat when there is standing room only, especially those sitting in the accessibility seating where there are signs that clearly show a pregnant lady....honestly my belly is pointing right out and big to the point where people have mistaken me for 7 months pregnant (that in itself is quite annoying)...anyhow, I don't mean to sound like a princess but the next time I'm sitting on stairs with my sciatica shooting down my leg, I'm goin to ask someone to give up their seat. I have done it for someone else in need. That's the chance you take by occupying those seats. Ugh. END RANT

Mass-girl-at-heart · October 2017

My daughter’s teacher acting like 30 minutes of homework a night is no big deal for 7 year olds. She reads for 20 minutes a night so I really don’t care about her worksheets. I am not going to spend the 90 minutes between getting home from work and her bedtime fight over some useless worksheet. Please let the kids be kids!!

ShawnnaO · October 2017

@Mass-girl-at-heart this might be a UO but I'm totally team no homework. I understand there's value in it, but I think kids/teens should be spending their out of school time on extracurriculars and just being YOUNG.

I have given up trying to message, call or make plans with my best friend. She’s been super evasive since I was pregnant with my first, so we’ve hardly been in contact for almost 3 years. I’ll get random messages from her saying she wants to see me and my son and hangout, I message her back and nothing. The only time she messages me back is if she needs something. I don’t even bother letting it get to me anymore, she has no kids and no big responsibilities. I chalk it up to being in different places in life but I also don’t go out of my way for her

ShawnnaO · October 2017

@Gingermom15 my friend is amazing with kids and has always been so supportive of me in pregnancy and in motherhood. Turns out she really was just busy yesterday. I felt like an ass when she messaged me late yesterday saying she was sorry she hadn't gotten back to me sooner.

That being said, she is the ONLY friend that I've been able to keep in touch with since I got married and moved. People who I spent almost every day with no longer talk to me. It sucks a lot because some of those people were bridesmaids at my wedding, but I understand that the circumstances are a bit odd with me being so far away from everyone. This one friend is the only one I bother with anymore which is why I was so hurt yesterday when it seemed she was ignoring me.

kalawa · October 2017

@Mass-girl-at-heart My son's teacher expects 20minutea of reading a night, and to practice things they are learning. But, she knows people are busy so, instead, it's monthly homework instead of nightly. At the end of the month she checks the workbooks. It works much better for us, since Sunday evenings are really free so we choose to do more then.

belindablumenthal · October 2017

People who don't text back quickly enough. Come on, I'm delightful!

ShawnnaO · October 2017

@kalawa I love the idea of monthly workbook checks rather than nightly homework as a middle ground for homework vs no homework!

Mass-girl-at-heart · October 2017

@kalawaI like that too, she has always loved reading I am mostly afraid that if we have to force it it will start to feel like a chore and then she wont want to do it. I don't remember having homework in the 2nd grade, maybe a book report here or there but never a nightly worksheet, it's just too much.

kalawa · October 2017

@ShawnnaO Agreed! Also, it's work that they are doing in school, and not new material. So they aren't busy retaining information all day, and then expected to retain more information in the evening.

babydale2018 · October 2017

Im babysitting and the older boy is chewing a piece of gum... usually not something that bothers me that much but his chewing is so loud and obnoxious... I am cringing every time I hear it....

nancysimp · October 2017

At McDs for breakfast, on my own...and people look at my belly and then up at me. I'm not seeing things.

Is there a problem with a pregnant lady eating McDs?? Mind your business....Lmao

Oh, the judgement. It’s not like you’re lighting up a crack pipe ffs. People can be so self righteous, don’t pay them any mind.

npkat · October 2017

I had to hang out and drive around 5 drunk people yesterday... about killed them all. They’re all family visiting us from out of town so I love them to death and really did have a blast all day, but gosh were they annoying drunks by the end of the night. I miss wine

ksmwalters · October 2017

@npkat I went to a concert with my husband and a friend of ours on Thursday and she got a little too tipsy and was super annoying. At one point she leaned down and started talking to my belly and KISSED IT. She immediately realized her mistake but I wanted to smack her.

That’s good! Honesty, I don’t know if she’s being evasive or it’s just us being in separate places in life. She works evenings and I work early mornings through evenings, plus have class and a toddler. Maybe she’s enjoying the responsibility free life right now. When we do get together she is great with my son and clearly enjoys him, so I’m hoping it’s just one of those ebb and flows of life and when she and her husband have children we can reconnect a little better.
