I am tired of people who have zero understanding of the legal system and/or criminal justice system talking about how rigged/unfair/stupid it is. Example one: someone complaining that she wasn't appointed a public defender for her divorce case. You are only entitled a public defender if you are accused of a crime or contempt of court. Call Legal Aid. Example two: one of my HS classmates was arrested for dealing Lortabs/meth 500 feet from an elementary school. He pled guilty and was sentenced today to 10 years. Several of my HS classmates are on Facebook right now bemoaning the inhumanity of it all. HE PLED GUILTY TO A B FELONY. TEN YEARS IS THE ADVISORY SENTENCE. But yes, it's all the judge's fault.* Example three: every case that is heavily covered in the media is skewed somehow. Don't assume you're getting the whole story. Even the press releases our office issues (written by a former news anchor, reviewed by lawyers) aren't always accurate. *This guy shoved me down and stole my bag of Halloween candy and Scream mask during trick-or-treat in 5th grade. He deserves to rot.

As other mentioned, I'm tired of being tired.
I'm tired of myself and my constant battle with myself.
I'm tired of this job search.
I'm tired of hiring managers wasting my time with interviews and skills test, and then not have the professional courtesy and human decency to tell me whether I got the job or not. Rejection is rejection. Not knowing is pure torture.
I'm tired of being fat.
I'm tired of trying to find a way to fit a round peg into a square hole, budget wise.
I'm tired of this never-ending report that I'm working on.
I'm tired of being a parent. I would like a week's vacation from a baby who thinks that it's funny to hit and a toddler who is on repeat. She never stops talking, singing or asking questions. There is no way to stop her. If you ignore her, she just amps it up.
kid: Why is it raining? me: Because it's raining. kid: To make the plants grow? me: Yes, and to clean the earth. kid:Rain falls in a line. me:um, I guess. kid:why does it fall in a line? me: gravity or sometime like that, hmm. yeah. shush kid: Why is it raining?
Repeat 3X before another question or subject comes up.
It never. ever. stops.

Wow! You guys need to take a vitamin or something if you are this tired.
The only thing I am tired of is our a/c being broken. It broke on June 17, and it will be a total install on June 30. it is hot, hot, hot although today was slightly better.
Eating food when you are hot is so awful that even the dog doesn't want to eat much. We are fortunate, though, to have one room with a window unit. We are unfortunate, though, to have to spend all day/every day in that one room.
I will return you guys to your regularly scheduled complaining!

I'm tired of not feeling well. I don't always feel horrible, but I rarely feel fine.
I'm tired of doctors that can't figure out why I have this issue or that one and prescription meds that don't help anything and spending money on doctors and medicine when none of it helps.
That is all.
For now.

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 will take it step farther and say I am tired of countless advertisements pushing prescription drugs in general. Tired of the countless TV Lawyers hawking their services due to all these prescription drugs

I'm tired of having a condition that affects my voice. I'm tired of being asked if I have a cold...I usually just say yes. I'm tired of being told I should go to the doctor...I have and there's really nothing that can be done and the side effects from treatment are often worse than the condition itself. I'm tired of going to the doctor for treatment and having them try to cross-sell unrelated cosmetic treatments. If you'll fix my voice so I can speak without pain and can be easily understood, I'll consider it!

people who write in text speak when they aren't sending a text.....people who can't use their/there/they're, your/you're, etc. correctly....people who say/write 'I seen' (like nails on a chalkboard)......humidity....people who are cruel to animals/children.....states that seem to view animals as things (prevalent in the south).....

Especially early in the morning when mommy is a little crabby.

I'm tired because my sinuses aren't draining well and that will likely be a problem most of the summer like usual because of my allergies, etc.
I'm also tired of people causing issues that didn't need to happen and then getting pissed at me for something they set in motion. I should probably whine about the latest incident on Anonymous note though instead of here and be thankful it doesn't happen more often where I work.
Had to write up an incident report last night and I'm not happy.

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? We said we are tired of commercials and reality TV. You will have to pry the remote from my cold dead hands to make me stop watching The Walking Dead, Orange is the New Black and House of Cards . Completely agree about limiting your news exposure. There is only so much depressing crap a person can take.

Most days my tv viewing is a mix of the following: Cyberchase reruns; Curious George; Wild Kratts; My Little Pony; Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Doc McStuffins. By the time we get the kids to stay in bed and the kitchen cleaned up I just go to bed.

I'm tired of having a car payment and it has only been 3 months. Sorry Phil, I know I am getting 1.85% interest but I might just have to pay this stupid thing off in the next year or so...

Sometimes, I'm tired of being the adult at my house. Getting things done, keeping things in order, fixing broken stuff, etc.
DH was supposed to get kitty to the vet this morning. Are you sure you can get her into the carrier, I asked.
No problem, he said.
Calls me and tells me there's no way he can do it.
Oh. duh. I asked you if you were sure, remember?

I'm tired of people who say "I done" instead of "I did" A recent FB post related to something the kids did.........."They done a great job"

I'm tired of working, but not only is my last day, but I finished up early and my last hour of official work was 23 minutes ago. It feels good. We're just waiting for DD and DF to arrive so we can all go into the office for my goodbye party ! I've packed up my computer, the company-provided mouse, the computer case, and have my badge ready to turn in .

I am tired of local contractors trying to bypass me and talk to my husband. I had to fire our pest control company yesterday because they wouldn't let me schedule the appointments, even though I am the one that requested the service and pays all the bills. In this case they were pretending that he had signed a contract, which they were unable to produce because it doesn't exist.

I'm tired of elderly women in a check out line not being ready to pay the cashier. What? How on earth can they be surprised that they had to pay for the groceries? Get that darn checkbook out and get ready!!!
I'm also tired of people parking their grocery cart in the middle of the aisle so no one else can get through. And have you ever moved the cart yourself, better be careful you're liable to get hit with their cane. Those carts are private property, ya know?
And I'm really tired of drivers being so fearful that they won't pull far enough forward in the left turn lane to trip the turn signal arrow.

Stopped in four places, and not a single salesperson directed their comments to me, even though I made it clear the car was for me.

Maybe in true YM fashion they were too busy checking out what the people in front of them were buying and whether they were paying with food stamps or not. Then watching the parking lot to see what type of car these people are driving.

Glad you fired them. My department head would only talk to my husband for the first couple years that I worked here. It was pretty funny. I got a handshake at the end of a visit, and that was about it. Since he's gotten to know my kids, he talks to me more now.
