What's Irritating You Today Rant Thread

[amorgb]

So whats irritating me today is not very significant, but instead of going off on people in another thread for no reason I decided to just tell you lovely people.  I really hate how often people still insist that those of us with blue eyes can't wear blue eyeshadow.  Why the heck not???  People try to say that it makes it so your eyes don't pop as much.  Do they want my eyes to pop out of my head, for goodness sake?  I get the whole eyes popping thing, I really do, but stop stating that I can't use blue eyeshadow.  I understand the color wheel thing, but let me do what I want without feeling bad about it (Thats really why I'm ranting- they way some people talk makes other people feel bad because they like something different.  This could really be applied to many things in life).

Rock that blue eyeshadow! I bet it looks amazing!

Today I am irritated by jaywalkers - my city is one of the most dangerous cities in the nation for pedestrians, yet still in one two-mile stretch of road, I had to slow down for at least five jaywalkers, and got the evil eye from three of them, as if *I* were the one who was doing something wrong!

I didn't hit you! I did everything right! Grrrr... :angry:

 

[Courtnee]

well, am I the only one or, does this happen to others too?

the day is going fine, and then bam, you suddenly get hit with terrible emotions that just linger for the whole entire day, well, yep, that's me. (<.&lt its just one of those days where I feel like I could blow a fuse at just dropping a tea towel or something like, my pencial breaking, I have a slight temper when im frustrated or hurt. and im hating everything at the  mo, im hating the clothes im wearing to the cup of water on the sink.

its just one of those days. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  :angry:   <_<

Ouch!  I live downtown and can't even imagine driving around here.  I bet the stress would easily knock a few years off my life :S  The boldness of some of the jaywalkers here totally baffles me; it's nuts!

What's been irritating me since YESTERDAY? Well I got this brilliant idea to chop off my hair and try a new hair cut. and I HATE it. I used to have hair to the middle of my back, then a few months ago I cut it to my collar bone. Then yesterday I tried a A cut bob I think it's called. Who knows. I found a photo on pinterest and had her cut it. I asked her to make the cut not as dramatic because I've never had a cut like that and she did exactly what I said, it's just a little shorter than I wanted. Now I just keep picturing myself when I was 6 and my mom used to make me have a bob and curl the ends in. I also decided to do this before my birthday which is on saturday. And now I'm hating my hair. My husband has been trying his best to cheer me up but every time I look in the mirror I see my damn hair!  Gah. I had to get that off my chest. <_<

Ooooh I hate taht feeling. I had that before with hair color. I always end up lovingit, it just takes me getting used to. Believe me, I have seen the worst hair cut this weekend: She went out to get a winged bob and came back with a head of layers to the point where you would have to do a pixie cut to get the hair to one length. Sh enever asked for layers. I am so specific on whom I let touch my hair. My stylist has been on it for 6 years and I usually just let her do, She knows not to chop of my hair and not to use random colors without asking. I feel super lucky in that department.

Today I feel like we have the worst drivers in this cities out of the US. I feel like everyone just sends them here so they can be with each other lol. On the way to work I am behind this super slow driver. He is going 20 in a 30 zone where it says "20 with children present"... there is no school, no child around and no way to pass him. Next we get to a roundabout. The idiot lets people in in front of him instead of just driving while he is in. That is one of my pet peeves when people have no idea what they are doing. Am I the best driver? Certainly not but I am not a hazard to others

Lol I almost posted a facebook status the other day when I got to my salon because someone was going ten under. I was thinking if you go below the speed limit they should take away your license and give you a bicycle!

I styled my hair how i normally would and I like it slightly better. At least I'm not like I was on saturday!

Kinda a minor issue today, but I think there's something up with my fridge.  Everything has been freezing lately, so I adjusted the level down to where it shouldn't be making any ice.  Anyway, I can home today, and everything was frozen; my pitcher of water, my bottles of juice; even my jars of pasta sauce.. Making dinner isn't my area of skill, but today was a totally new challenge lol Something's definitely not right here! :/

 

[slinka]

I had a freaking headache that interfered dramatically with my workout yesterday, but I got through it. Come to today (BTW, I rarely get headaches- this is very out of the norm for me) and I HAVE ANOTHER STUPID HEADACHE THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY. I am so sore from yesterday (started new/different training...so that means new/different muscles hurrrtttt) + this stupid freaking headache= irritated slinka.

-_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh, combine that with a 2 yr old who has a fever. At least she's not being awful, she's a [relatively] good sick kid.
Oh, and my kitchen now has 2 outlets that aren't working. Great.
I just want this day to end.

That stinks. We had the opposite issue twice last month. Our fridge stoped working and everything defrosted and went bad overnight which I didnt realize until we went to buy more frozen fish the next day after work. Needless to say tht pissed me off and now I am always checking the stuffin the freezer. In your situation i would cut open a frozen juice box and call it a day with my frozen sorbet lol

Oh no! I am getting migraines quite frequently so I understand why you are ticked. Since you started a new workout, could it be the muscles i your back/ neck causing the headache liker a tension headache or a twisted nerve maybe? Hope you and your kiddo feel better soon!

lol I was so tempted to do that!  It was like an episode of Mr. Bean with me trying to get the pasta out of the jar, and trying to get water out of my pitcher.  I've also been blowing too much money on eating out lately, and this situation definitely doesn't help the cause! hah

OMG, you guys. I have to rant so bad, I'm sorry in advance.

I have decided to move back to the South from the West Coast. I have a lot of family there, and the area I am moving to in Arkansas is actually a really cool area with great art, nature, music, cuisine, ya know, all the things I care about. I have been telling people, and I had no idea that the people in my life here were such snots. I mean, maybe I did kinda know, but not to this extreme. I just have been getting the worst jokes at the expense of the Southern US, and it is annoying to the point, that I just don't want to hear it anymore. I can't even pretend not to care, anymore.

I ask, "Oh, have you ever been there?" and they say, "No." or "35 years ago, I drove through part of that state," I wanna be like, "Oh? Then STFU!"

Some of my friends are just ribbing me, and don't really mean anything by it, but a lot of people seem to actually believe that the South is nothing but ignorant racist hicks. It's like people are trying to convince me to stay here, but all they are convincing me of, is that I should move sooner, so I don't have to talk to them anymore, because they are annoying the spit out of me.

Oh just one more thing that is sort of annoying... My brother-in-law's boyfriend is having a health issue. He thinks he is suffering from chemical sensitivity to all natural and synthetic fragrances, and has asked that everyone attending the family event on Sunday, refrain from wearing or using any kind of scented product on their bodies or clothes for at least a day ahead of time. This includes shampoo, deodorant, and laundry detergent. I'm going to do my best, but this can't be a regular thing. It's just too hard. I also don't think his reasoning makes any sense, and I wish he would listen to his doctors, but I can't tell him that. I just have to rearrange heaven and earth to show up for the party smelling like nothing but sunshine. I'm afraid that other people aren't going to be accommodating, and there is going to be drama. I just really have had enough of this family drama, you know? It makes me anxious to think about.

I moved back in June, and it's amazing how opinionated people can suddenly get on things like that.  I understand giving advice, but the reactions really started to get annoying.  They'd ask where I moved as I was considering two apartments in different parts of the city, then they were very critical of the area I picked.  As one of my friends pointed out, they never saw where I actually re-located to (and probably had never been there either), which makes a good point.  It's amazing how critical people can be when they base everything on generalizations.  Conceivably, every place can be good or bad, depending on where you go.  The supposedly superior area I decided against had a shooting a week later, so it just goes to show, it's all about the details and specifics.  Anyway, sounds like a cool area that's a good fit that you're moving to, and that's what's important. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My mother-in-law is driving me crazy this week. We live next to them in a duplex so it's not like I can completely avoid her. A bit of background, a couple of months ago her sister died suddenly in her sleep. This was the sister she was closest to. So we're trying to give her time to get over it. So it is affecting her moods.

But she is crazy. Just over the top crazy. She lies constantly. Most of the times her lies are just little white lies. "Sister and I used to go to random place that she had never been to in her life." "I talked to random stranger in the grocery store, and he totally agreed with my nut job theory about latest political issue." "I saw on the news that women over 40 shouldn't wear any nail polish but pink." "I went to random clothing store and the clerk told me that they are going to double the prices plus a dollar for sales tax free weekend."

So coupled with lies she has just been mean this week. She tells husband that she hates us all and wishes she was dead. Tells me how my bi-racial nephew, who is two, will be nothing more than a drug addict. She hates our dogs and cats. Her favorite is the dog is going to die in a year anyway. I cooked and she hates what I cooked even though she liked it last week.

I would say she needs medication but FIL says her mother was the same way. And my SIL is exactly the same way. So it is freaking genetics.

It will be about a week and then she will go back to her little white lies and stop being so mean. I just hope I can keep my spirits up till then.

OMG, you live next to her in a duplex? I would go insane. Or sneak some happy medicine into her tea. Or both of our teas. My sympathies!
