What are you tired of?

Work
Dusting
Endless wars and $$$ spent on them

She’s a more mature expression of #1 on my list. She and her vapid type contribute greatly to our “living her/his/their best life!” culture. It’s like nails on a chalk board. What can I say? I find her annoying and superficial. A slightly more tolerable Kathy Lee Gifford.

I am tired of:

  • cleaning the litter box
  • taking out the trash
  • going through my dead MIL’s lifetime of stuff. That woman held onto everything and now it’s up to DH & I to sort through it all and do something w/it all in the next 2 months when we sell that house. DO YOUR CHILDREN A FAVOR AND PARE DOWN YOUR HOARD BEFORE YOU KICK THE BUCKET!
  • DH saying that he wants to grow food in the backyard and then does nothing about it.
  • the COVID wood that’s been sitting in our garage for 3 yr since the pandemic started. For all of the wood working projects that DH was going to do in his spare time. In 2 yr, I’m throwing it all out.
  • people who refuse to be polite to friends who share different political views than them.

Agree, though I fear that my list on this thread may qualify as mean, at least on some of them. :slight_smile:

My theory is if it needs to be ironed it needs to be dry cleaned LOL. (Happily H irons his own shirts.)

I feel you on the litter box. My cat has kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. Cleaning his boxes ( have to have them in 2 locations in case of emergencies) is awful on many levels.

My Min Pin and her incessant barking. Well, her incessant everything, really. My bad for adopting a dog without knowing enough about the breed, but jeez is she a handful.

Well, I’m assuming whoever you have commented about doesn’t know it, so you get a pass. :smiley:

Agency’s awful electronic health record. Recent “improvements” made it much prettier but impossible to use.

I am tired of all Electronic Medical Records. I have yet to meet an EMR that doesn’t make my job worse.

I’m tired of apps. Every freaking appliance maker seems to want you to load their app. No. I’m app-ed out.

The stress of caregiving others in my life that there’s no time left for me and added stress of I can’t not be okay to do stuff

Influencers! Most specifically, people that think they’re influencers, the fact that there even are influencers, that everyone under the age of 30 wants to be an influencer and BTW, ■■■ is an influencer?

And also, that everyone at work (considerably younger than I am) is always all worked up over what someone else is or isn’t doing. Just do your job! You’ll be a lot happier. I’m the “mom” at work and it’s amazing how many times a day I have to pull out the “you’re not the boss of them” or “you can only control yourself”. It’s seriously like when my kids were 8/9. I work in a field where people like to think of themselves as “saviors”.

Actually, the WORD “Influencers.” I can’t believe it’s actually taken seriously as an actual thing.

I know an influencer not yet 30 who just bought a beautiful home. That took actual money. It’s an actual thing.

I mean. UGH?! Who are the people who are “influenced”? I mean, how embarrassing. I guess I just don’t get it.

:raising_hand_woman: I’m influenced. What’s wrong with being “influenced” about cooking, decorating, thrifting, fashion, DIY, etc?? Not much different than being “influenced “ by commercials, catalogs, ads, etc.

Influencers can promote products. I learn a lot.

But do you watch people whose job is to do that? Like, yes, I see commercials (though rarely, honestly), but only while my attention is there for something else. People talking about what products they use just seems, bizarre, to me. But that’s me. If others enjoy that, good for them.

Honestly I don’t understand the word. I am not sure I have ever seen an “influencer” so the word feels like someone calling themselves a necromancer or something.
