I am tired of hearing my co-worker say "Well, I am from the country and we..." Seriously, who cares?

I'm tired of DH not being able to handle shit. Dude - they're your kids too. Why am I think one talking to the PA about Cabe's medical records when you're the one at the damn office? All I know if what I told you - MPS wants a copy of the medical records before he starts school. That's all I got. For God's sake, figure it out. I just kept giving DH stuff to do and fix if he screwed it up. He's much better at it all now.

I'm sick and tired of everything and everybody in life today trying to sell you something or part you with your money in some way that is not in your best interest. Example: I did not get my last phone bill. I call AT&T (now a/k/a as the high speed internet service whores ) to pay it over the phone and let them know I never received my bill. The stupid bitch that answered the phone 1. Talked with marbles in her mouth and 2. Had a thick accent and 3. Had no interest in why I called. Her only interest was to sell me something. Me: Hi. I never received my last bill. I usually get it by the 6th and I already paid it by phone but wanted to make sure nobody stole my info. and to find out if you may have changed your billing cycle. Stupid Bitch: Mmmminternetmmmpmghighmmmphahd? Me: WHAT?! I can't understand a word you are saying! (ok - I said Excuse me? the first 2 times but after the 3rd time I lost all patience) Stupid Bitch: Mmpft to mmmpaweiog upgrade mmghmoadh high speed internetmmmphahdkmInternet. Me. No! I want to discuss what I originally called you about! <<refrains from saying You stupid bitch!>> And I still can't understand what you are saying. Is there something in your mouth?! (At this point no respect is shown to me at all so why do I need to show any?) After going back and forth and finally getting from her that she'll mail me a copy of the bill (and no nothing was changed) I received a phone call today. Guess what the message said: We will be activating you high speed internet to your phone tomorrow. Please 888... regarding this service. I'm THIS "." close to canceling our service with these morons. DH said he'll talk to them. And don't get me started on RV shopping. They show a price for their summer special only to add on $5K of fees, taxes, title blah, blah, blah. They are as bad, if not worse, than car sales men/women. Apologies to any car salespeople who post or read here but you all suck! Why can't you talk to anybody these days who are not full of crap, lie, sell you crap you don't want or want to take all of your money?! That is all and thank you for listening.

Like Shasta, I'm tired of people who are judgmental and dismissive of people who are disabled and/or poor. I'm tired of the "I'll take mine and the rest of you can go to hell" attitude of some folks.
I'm tired of reading about human cruelty to animals.
I'm tired of reading about the destruction and demise of our planet.
I'm tired of the political in-fighting in this country. I'm tired of politicians who pretend they care when they're really just out for themselves (see first statement above).

Ok. It is actually physically difficult for me to do this. I have this thing, that if I complain, somehow something bad will happen, but i'll try...
I'm tired of wasting the afternoon hanging out in this room waiting for class/camp to be over.
I'm tired of my husband grabbing my ass... seriously, has the novelty not worn off yet?
I'm tired of giving 100%+ for people that, in return, hardly manage a weak 10%, or who turn shit in late, or expect you to do it/cut them a break/pick up their slack.

I'm tired of people not taking responsibility for their own actions.
I'm too am tired of politicians arguing, not getting much accomplished and when they do pass something they tack on a ton of pork in the process. Most everyone can agree that financially we're just digging ourselves into a deeper hole and yet little or nothing is getting done to address long term issues facing our country.
I'm tired of people who think it's the US' responsibility to take care of everyone and everything. If this makes me an ass so be it but we need to get our own house in order.
I'm tired of lazy people who complain about how hard it is, how unfair things are and how they're always short on money yet they're going on trips all the time, going out more than I do and living off family members and/or the government.

I'm tired of my husband's health issues. I'm tired of being tired. I'm tired of working. I'm tired of parenting. I'm tired of all the politicians in the United States being A-holes. I'm tired of my online newspapers changing the limits on how many articles I can read in a month. I am sorry you are having a hard time Beth. I agree about the politicians in the US. So JSOnline no longer gives you 10 articles? I subsribe, but I noticed I needed to put my account info in on my cell phone now too. I am tired of taking abuse from everyone in my family. Last month we went to a party in Chicago and DS refused to drive DD home. Last night DS needed DD to do something for him, and I got to hear about how he wouldn't do her a favor last month, so she didn't want to help him out this month. I am feeling really unappreciated lately. Living alone seems mighty appealing.

I am tired of kids not having basic manners and social skills. Ok, kids of a certain inlaw....but still. How hard is it to tell your kid NO, especially when you've discussed the subject with us already.
Short version: ONE niece was invited to visit us this summer, the older sister of the nephew with the brain tumor, before her brother's health problems were discovered. She and my DD adore each other and can keep themselves out of trouble. My other SIL & BIL went to pick up BOTH kids (niece & her other brother) because the parents of the baby are feuding and SIL's oldest DD called DH to ask if she could come too. After she'd also asked my DD the same thing. My mom would have skinned me alive if I had called someone ASKING to be invited over.

OK, one more.
I am tired of everyone doing a customer satisfaction survey. Like they really care.
My insurance now mandated that maintenance meds need to be filled mail order. I had called to put 2 different perscriptions on mail order. I see one is held up and one there is no record on the web site. No name of the drug indicated just and order # (wtf I am in my own account with a user name and password - you can't even tell me what your are shipping me?) So, I look up the customer service # and call. I am at my desk, so I indicate I will complete their survey, and put my phone on speakerphone. I go from elevator music right to the survey no customer service rep. At the end of the survey they gave me the opportunity to leave a comment so I told them I did not know how I could rate their service when no one had ever helped me.
I also hate being asked to donate to the pet cause of every store I shop at. Duh, If I donate to everyone's pet cause, I have less $$ to spend in your store.

I'm tired of that too! One of the bigger hospital chains in the area started doing that.
DH got pissed with the woman because she didn't like his answers. He said what did she expect he only saw the actual doctor for 5 minutes. It was a Walk-In clinic for crying out loud. He said he got his script that's what he wanted so who cares?

CC, I am not clear on the situation with your nieces, but I am sorry about your DN. I am sure anything you do for that family will long be appreciated.
I have two SIL's that have a very different background than me. I cut them lots of slack b/c they have gone above and beyond to do things for one of our nieces who has a Mother who is a deadbeat. I am also realzing that the cousins on my DH's side have a bond nearly like siblings b/c Grandma babysat for all of them regularly and they have a lot of shared experiences. I think it is great b/c I have 2, two BIL/SIL's have 2 and my other BIL has 1 with the deadbeat Mom and 2 with his ex but his oldest is 6 years older than her half brother and 10 years older than her half sister. It gives the kids from smaller families more sibling like bonds.
Beth, I agree just make your DH handle some of that stuff. I walk the line with what I ask DH to handle, bc sometimes he is to busy to deal with details but he is better in the AM than the PM, so if personal stuff needs to be handled early in the Day, I have DH do it, and if it is a PM I usually handle it. I know your DH has a business job (Finacial Analyst) so he is not incapable of dealing with paperwork/details so just make him help carry the load and try to figure out what he handles well/what you deal with better.
Also I would clarify exactly what MPS is looking for. They have no right to DS's entire medical record. He could get tracked or discrimiated against if you give them TMI.

Friends always giving exes another chance. Multiple chances. And me having to comfort them while they're bawling their eyes out. Again. For the fourth time. Reruns only work for television shows, not bfs. I feel like making a sure that says that and wearing it around them. Ask them if they put retreads on their cars as well as in their beds My saying was no retreads on my car and no retreads in my bed

Bean, one niece was invited. She and DD are actual friends. The other is a step, and her mom and BIL have had a rocky history so not a lot of time together and DD isn't a big fan of hers. I expect DD to get along and be nice when we're all together but I don't expect her to invite a tag along to ao visit she's looked forward to for ages.
The invited niece, her brother, their mother and grandmother have been locked out of their home by currently crazy Mom's BF/baby daddy to the baby with the tumor. So, the older kids are here. BIL/SIL have nephew. I can only feed so many extra kids, you know?
ETA: and if I cave on any extras, including the invited nieces brother, all the rest of BIL/SIL's kids (3 old enough to try it) will want to come. I can't do it.

I'm not sure anything will get through though. And sigh, this week was the 5th go round for one friend with the same guy. She hasn't even known him a year yet and I think the first go-round was at most 4 weeks from meet to implosion. She might make me an alcoholic every time anyone asks her why (NO ONE likes this guy) she just gets a kicked puppy look on her face and says she doesn't know. Did I mention that the 4th go round lasted about an hour? And she apparently spent the time this week flirting with every guy she could in front of him?

1) Personally, I have never found heavily sarcastic people very funny and find them more annoying with age. Like politics is considered “Hollywood for the ugly”, sarcasm should be considered “Comedy for the unfunny”
2) The overuse of internet memes in, not only social media, but just everyday life. The ones I particularly hate hearing now are “Keep calm and….” , “Well played, fill in the blank, well played” , and “Faith in humanity, restored”.
3) None of my wife’s siblings or my siblings are married, so that means our kids are the only grandkids. That has made it absolutely essential for us to be there for every family party in order to provide the “entertainment”. While I’m glad that our family loves our kids, I am tired of them being way too involved. Inviting them to one soccer game

Without being too serious.... I'm tired of Simon Cowell on my TV........and his celebration of mediocrity. I'm tired of a materialistic society "borrowing plumes". I'm tired of people using sex to sell their music. I'm tired of the Kardashians.......Why are they even famous?

I'm tired of watching my gramma go down hill so quickly with Alzheimer's. It makes me so angry that such a kind woman is being turned into some rip raving stranger now. I hate that I have thoughts that I wish she could just pass on and not continue to be put thru this kind of hell. I'm tired of seeing how tired my mom is from dealing with the stress daily. I'm tired of making sure that my kitchen is clean when I go to bed & that hubby can't seem to put a dirty dish into the dishwasher once he's done eating. I swear I'm going to go postal one morning when I wake up to a sink full of dishes. And seriously, the guy is home 4 hours and manages to use THREE glasses in that time? Rinse your damn glass out & reuse it or start putting your damn dishes in the dishwasher! I'm tired of explaining to people that clearly know me well that I do NOT like to drive. I've been an oblivious passenger all my life & you aren't going to change that now. I can't find my way out of a paper bag, so stop calling me for directions when you are lost. Yes I can google a map, but I can't tell you shit from it. Yes I plan everything I can with someone who is willing to do the driving and if you are stupid enough to say "want me to pick you up" then damn straight I'll say YES! even if it means you have to drive the opposite direction we need to go. And yes, I'm well aware that's selfish and bitchy and I don't care! I'm tired of telling hubby, "you can spend $50 at home despot, but don't go over because I need to shop for something in a couple of days" and then find out that he spent his shopping money AND mine at home despot. Dude! I've been talking about starting to redo the antique desk for 2 weeks and you KNEW I needed to have stuff custom made for it. WTF you spent my desk money! And since you have done nothing but bitch about this project, NO you don't get to help pick the stain color. I'm tired of PMS and being in a cranky today.

I am tired of people saying dumb shit like "I figure we are safe on this plane because it has lots of children and God wouldn't take down a plane with children on it" . I have heard that at least twice when boarding a plane. It took everything I had not to respond with "but obviously God is okay with killing kids through cancer and abusive parents."

I'm tired of political ads(because that's what they really are) and surveys being exempt from the DO NOT CALL list.
I'm tired of watching the 6 o'clock news and being subjected to countless commercials to fix everyone's sexual dysfunction.

I am tired of "investigative" news reports that are 99% crap. Seriously jaded by the stories that have been run recently on our company which makes me completely distrust all of the other stories they run, knowing just how badly they mangle the truth.
Tired to people that are so self-centered. I am so sorry your power was out for three hours. A 19 yr old kid died when his car collided with a pole - but yes, it was terrible that you had to be in your million dollar house without power for three whole hours while they made things safe for the first responders and then repaired the lines.
And right now I am thoroughly pissed with JP Morgan and never ever want to do business with them again. I shouldn't get 5 different answers talking to 5 different people with no one that can tell me just how the heck I can get my own damn money in time for closing!

Or how about the hospital that calls two weeks after your baby was stillborn to ask how the birthing experience was? You think they could have screened for that one, assholes.

Just to be clear - I have NO problem with the "I'll take mine" attitude (heck - I've reached out and taken "mine"); I just have a problem with "the rest of you can go to hell" part.

I'm tired of all these new reality shows masquerading as something important. And Alaska seems to be getting the brunt of them. I like Deadliest Catch just fine, but now there is: Bering Sea Gold Bering Sea Gold: Under Thin Ice Life Below Zero Yukon Men Flying Wild Alaska Ice Road Truckers Alaska Wing Men Alaska State TroopersAlaskan Bush PeopleAlaska: The Last FrontierYukon GoldMounted in Alaska (which sounds so X-rated, it might be fun to watch, if the show actually included any sex) And this is just one state! You have Mountain Men, Ax Men, Naked and Afraid (just the idea of watching that one makes me afraid), Big Rig Bounty Hunters, and on and on. Sheesh. How many shows do you need to actually prove that the shark can be jumped more than once? LOL...I just got back from Alaska and have no interest in watching any of those shows. Beautiful state though and I cant wait to go back. There was a reality show based on a family from where I am from. I went to school with some of the guys on the show and know some of the others from the town I lived in. "Reality" is an interesting way to describe it given what I know.

LOL! I got my car's oil changed at the dealer and was asked to fill out a survey. I gave the service a 3/5 because the job was done satisfactorily. The person I gave the survey to asked me to change my score, and I asked her why? He did the job I paid him to, he did not go above and beyond what he could have done. He didn't check the air in my tires, he didn't top off my fluids, he didn't vacuum out my car, wash it or even wash the bug guts off my windows. He did what he was required to do. I told her that if I did ONLY my job, I'd get a 3/5 on my personnel evaluation too. For me to get a 4 or a 5, I have to do MORE than what was requested. So why should I hold him to different standards than one of the largest employers in the area? I think she changed my card afterwards......

Reading this thread is making me realize how much better my life got when I quit watching TV. Seriously, you guys should give it a try. And screen your news exposure. I don't need to know about every last bombing in the middle east, or know about some election result in another state 3000 miles away. If a story has the lasting power of a week or two, I figure I should know about it. Otherwise, why overwhelm my brain with 1000s of stories of misery?
