Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

I was mortified when I did this. It ran off and then collapsed 30 yards on.

 

Couldn't find that scene from Midnight Express where he goes the wrong way around the column in the basement of the prison for you, although I think the rest of them were going clockwise. Still, they agree with you in Mecca:

 

I can't decide if this is a legitimate bitch for the Not Happy Thread. Either way, it bothers me to no end. I need ramen! And yes, I mean the ten for a dollar with no nutritional value stuff! At this point, I've been able to find everything I needed that those lunatic jerks panic bought except for beef or chili flavored ramen. You can do so many things with it, and I miss it! Apparently it's still flying off the shelves like TP. Thank God I was all stocked up before that ran out.

 

What's with all the 8-episode seasons for all these great new shows? It's not enough!

I imagine production quality has something to do with it. TV shows are just long movies at this point.

 

We have these at my supermarket and they're only 80p, and they're gorgeous. Don't know if they count as proper Ramen but they're nice.

 

Foaming soaps.

 

I made a comment to my husband that he is always on his phone when we are watching tv together and he says "you're always typing away on your computer and i dont say anything..."

....im annoyed that i cannot dispute this....

 

They have poor track manners. Some tracks require walkers or slower runners on the outside of a track. Some have walkers walk the opposite way but still on the outer lanes.
Lol i will never forget seeing my teammate in college being mowed over by a runner getting warmed up for his event. He was yelling "TRACK!" which means "GET THE F OUT THE WAY!" And she had her headphones in and didn't hear. Rather than swirve to avoid her, he threw up his elbows and bulldozed this girl right off the track!! It was so funny!!!!

But in all seriousness... I totally agree with you!

 

except, replace the red haired kid with a red haired dog

 

If I hear one more sap on television tell me that 'we're all in this together' ...

 

If I hear one more sap on television tell me that 'we're flattening the curve'...

 

If I hear one more sap tell me that "real men like curves..."

 

I like curves but not fat persons with no self discipline. You're not "your own kind of beautiful" you're unhealthy and weak.

 

If I hear one more sap tell me that "It's just the flu, bro"...

 

I'm totally jaded with diet talk. Anyone who claims they have trouble gaining weight due to a fast metabolism will quickly find them in a different conversation with me, and those who claim the opposite will also.

 

Do you have any idea (I'm sure you're finding out, it's rhetorical) how few calories one needs to stay functional during a stay-at-home order?

FFS, I could quarter my grocery budget if I could just stop eating out of habit. One healthy meal every three days should be fine at this point.

 

I can (and will) eat anything more or less at any time (except oats, which I'm allergic to) but my husband can't. He's got no teeth (lost to surgery for mouth cancer a few years ago.) So I really worry about not being able to get the kinds of nutritious foods he CAN eat. Swallowing is a big problem as well.

Like oranges. Because he can't chew, he likes a squeezed orange every morning for his breakfast. And now oranges are getting scarce. I can put strawberries into the blender, but unfortunately they are getting scarce as well. And he's not enthusiastic about any fruit except the oranges and the strawberries. I've tried blending other fruits, and they just don't get eaten. I'm afraid if the good food he can eat runs out, he'll simply fill up on the kinds of foods he shouldn't be eating a lot of ...like chocolate. He's a bit old (nearly 75) to be told what he has to eat for his dinner!

 

It amuses me how most people end up discussing (I do this and I'm certain Mrs. A does as well) their spouses as if they are some sort of beloved but not particularly smart house-pets.

 

Yeah, I'm sure it comes across that way. But when you're responsible for their care (ie you are the only one who can do the shopping, etc, because they are a semi-invalid, and not in the best of health to begin with) it's a problem when something like this happens. I'm honestly not sure what is the best course of action to take.
