    I'm so tired of people at work complaining about everything and not taking any responsibility. They don't see any of the positives about anything and just complain about the negatives.

    I know I have complaining issues, but good lord. It's constant.

    This is just life. I've found that people instinctively just complain - there are things I'd definitely like to complain about, but it just adds fuel to the fire. In some instances, I just listen and let them vent, other times I try to show them that it could be worse. Like you're at a job, so you're getting paid, you could be unemployed right now - be thankful for what you do have instead of complain about what you don't. Just saying that sometimes changes their attitude.

    I hate complainers, it's not productive and it's usually about nonsense, I can't imagine something I'm less interested in than traffic

    I wish I could just go to the doctor every like 3 years instead of yearly to get my birth control pills. It is really hard for me to get to the doctor bc I don't drive and I've had to reschedule so many times bc my doctor keeps changing the days she does annual exams. Now a couple weeks before my appointment she changes the days again and I have to scramble to find someone to take me which means I'm going to be reminded I'm a burden and be yelled at even though it's not my fault I have to reschedule the appointment :tear:Plus I'm going to have to take a day off work to get to the appointment and not get paid and I really can't afford to lose a day's pay. Fuckkk.

    I am a huge complainer. I don't even really care about the things I complain about. I think I do it to fill gaps because I am socially inept


    Also yes to the doctor thing!! My Dr is 45 minutes away so it's not easy to schedule an appt. They didn't even call to remind me this year so I ran out of refills and they told me they will send me one more refill since I have an appt in May, but the appt isn't until the end of May so I'm gonna run out before my appt

    I complain and vent a lot, but I've learned to do it to specific people (in text at work and verbally when out and about). It brings everyone down when you're working in an office and just creates a toxic environment because EVERYONE does it ALL THE TIME.

    This was a hard-learned lesson for me, which is why it drives me so crazy. It was the opposite for me, though - I was the one complaining constantly and I dragged everyone else down. Now they're all complaining and dragging me down. I guarantee that I'm not the only one, though... ugh.

    I need to live alone. Too old to be woken up at midnight by a rm yell talking super loudly with some dude. One day I will truly embrace the hermit lifestyle and it will be amazing. Am I the only old? Do they not work in the morning? I'm such a curmudgeon lol. I text her to be quieter but she clearly doesn't have her phone so I'm gonna have to be old man yelling at cloud and come out looking like death being like shut uuuuup

    I feel exactly the same way because I'm camping at Coachella right now and I've been wanting to sleep but literally no one around me will shut up! It's 1 am and people are still yelling and playing bad edm out of huge speakers

    last night at work it was my grandma texting me 'think about my health" to guilt me into staying in NY, woke up to how I owe my mother money today. I don't quite understand what they think they're doing to get me to stay here but it's not really helping your cause (even though there wasn't any ground to gain there anyway).
    Growing up and branching out is not a flaw, it's natural. Your sicknesses are the unnatural shit here.

    Omg yeah I could not. Maybe if it was the weekend but it is a weekday!! Have some respect for the work week! Sidenote, if teenage me knew how adult and boring I'd be ten years later I'd die.

    I close during the week, often getting off between 2-3am, and then I have one day off and have to open on Friday'. My sleep schedule is so fucked. It's almost 3am, I have to be at work at 9, and I am not tired at all.

    Oh yeah, finding time for social life/fun is definitely an arduous task. Then throw school into the mix and it's nearly impossible. I say this every god damn semester, but what the hell did I do with all my free time during summer break!?

    I have my two weeks in, and I'm moving soon so ill be much happier soon - hopefully ill find a job that manages time better, especially since ill be with my fiancée AROUND THE CLOCK than and well.... its one thing to deal with heat from a distance... its another to deal with it when shes in your face all day lmfao.
    I know itll be better but ugh... cant come soon enough. The lack of time as you said makes it a struggle and that creates issues and its just like damn... lemme get a break lol.

    This is exactly how I felt at firefly. I don't think I'll ever do something like that again, and if I do, I'm glamping.

    You don't know about glamping (glamorous camping)? Basically instead of going with things just to get by, you bring all the luxuries you can think of and get a bit more enjoyment out of it. My mother in law has what we can a shaggin' wagon, one of those conversion/camper van type things, that they renovated on the inside (put down vinyl hardwood floors throughout, redid the pluming/shower in the back, changed out the seat pull-out mattress etc. But now they take that camping everywhere, has AC, comfortable bed, the vinyl floor makes everything super easy to clean. It has a sink, mini stove thing, fridge, etc. It's not for me, but it's nice when I go camping with them because I sleep in my tent and put my 1 year old in there with them.


    This isn't theirs, but something similar

    Boss: You're going to Indonesia.

    Me: Yes.

    Boss: So you're Indonesian?

    Me: Yes.

    Boss: Then why'd I think you were Filipino?

    Me: Because everyone does.

    Boss: *goes on some spiel about how I'm sorta Filipino which happens in countless similar conversations*

    Me: *disintegrates everyone in the room with laser eyes.*

    Does this make my Filipino family members Indonesian?

    Usually it's some iteration of what my boss said. If it's with a Filipino person, after I tell them they usually say something like... "oh we're very close" and I'm like "why are you continuing?"

    No in America it usually works out something like this:

    Filipino = Filipino

    Indonesian = Filipino

    Any Other Brown Asian People = Filipino
