Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 247

I've been told it's an empty vessel of a film and so far that's quite accurate

 

on a related note: Nick Kroll's face

 

I really hate that fucking movie

 

people still acting like life is wonderful and that the past few years haven't been absolutely soul crushing to all of us. maybe there really are those out there who are still happy and comfortable with the way the world is going but I really doubt it for most everyone who doesn't come from a place of wealth and privilege

 

It's a struggle every day, but with all due respect @angrycandy (love ya bud), if someone has a reason to be happy in their life, something that can distract them from the absolute hell we've lived in since 2016, I say let them have it. Nobody owes it to anyone to be miserable all the time

 

not remotely my point

 

I want everyone to be happy

I just see a lot of bad actors is all

 

I feel like people who act like everything is wonderful all the time are either just unaware of the terrible shit in the world (privilege or ignorance among the many reasons why) or being toxically positive. Worrying about the declining state of the world is one of the primary things I dwell on when my mental health is taking a turn. Solely based on my experiences, the shit show that the world has been since 2016 has only taught me to appreciate the good stuff I have more and try to focus on that more often than the bad. Yes, cost of living is a constant worry of mine, yes my wife and I are terrified of the increased gun violence in this country while raising two kids, and yes I studied zoology and biodiversity in an era where earth itself is in turmoil. I’m not choosing to ignore all the bad shit, I’m just not letting it take priority in my thoughts. Easier said than done many days though.

I hope you’re doing well @angrycandy.

 

so, I mean more the people who act as though life hasn't skipped a beat in years, that everything is just as it was, those living in delusion or those whose lives haven't changed much at all if at all (and believe me: I know them). I agree with the notion that we should all be grateful for every good thing that happens to us but there are many people (at least on my personal social media who seem like they're living better than ever) and it feels like a fucking slap in the face and that fucks with me. I love you all and hope every single one of you is doing well but things are very different than they were five years ago and my point is that it's fucking silly to act as though they are just the same. things are not trending in a good direction for the world at large and it just bums me out. if something good happens to you then by all means express it but don't pretend day in and day out that life is perfect because we all know that nothing could be further from the truth. I apologize for being overtly negative but that's not me 24 hours a day. we all have our moments. the world is still beautiful and a good place to live in but I gotta be honest about the bad too

 

When babies cry. People often tell me I would make a great mom blah blah but the sound of a baby crying is legit so triggering for me. Maybe it's different if it's your own baby but I have audio sensitivity issues with loud and shrill noises. I guess everyone does to a point, but it will cause like a brain jam where I can't think or concentrate on anything and I get so overwhelmed and overstimulated and my patience nosedives to -100.

 

As a parent, it’s different but can still suck. Instead of just being straight up annoying, hearing your own kid cry can be distressing because you instinctively feel the need to help them

 

The fact that only the edited version of Frank (Amy Winehouse) is only available on Spotify.

 

Dishes that weren’t rinsed thoroughly and now your food/drink tastes a little like soap

 

an Uncrustable that you didn't wait quite enough time on to thaw

 

Seems like a post for the Reasons to Keep Living thread.

 

you're not wrong

 

Lol yes this exactly!

 

I’ve been so work busy and real life lazy that I’ve gotten in the habit of washing a plate/bowl/utensil right before I need it and have tasted more soap than ever before in my life lol

 

When I buy the same condiment 5 times in a row or something and keep forgetting the condiment I’m actually out of. I’ve got like an entire shelf full of salsa but no mayo or whatever lol (as an example)

 

This fucking website glitch with the keyboard disappearing and now I click the un-mute button on the ads

 

Yes. I posted about this a while back. Forcing me to click on ads

 

getting overheated

 

Forgetting to cancel a snoozed or future alarm on your phone and then it goes off while you’re in the shower

 

I have to have dinner with my conservative ass family tonight and I'm not looking forward to when politics are brought up, and they will be

just gotta try to stay silent and get through it without arguing
