What's pissing you off today? [Spring Mini-Rants Can Really Hang You Up The Most]

For me, it’s people who expect every web service they use to be entirely free, no matter how useful the content and involved the work of presenting it…and who also bitch about viewing ads. But that’s just me.

This stupid congestion. It’s actually better now that I’ve stopped using Mucinex (which doesn’t have pseudoephedrine in it, so it’s not a true nasal decongestant, which ALSO pisses me off), but I hate being stuffy. It’s annoying and gross and makes me a literal mouthbreather. And since I’ve been using tissues so often, my nose is all chapped and irritated. (Aquaphor’s great for this, but I have to keep applying it because I keep blowing my nose.)

Also, it appears I have some manner of fluid in my ear. I can still hear fairly well out of that ear, and I’m not in any pain, but I hear it gooshing around whenever I walk and it’s driving me nuts.

I do believe I’m feeling the first twinges of arthritis. My shoulders, big toe joints and main thumb joints have all started an on-and-off aching. I’ve known I’d eventually get it, because my mom had it, so it wasn’t unexpected.

Still, I’ll see the doc about it in case I’m wrong and it’s something else.

Piss.

The lack of monkeys in my life.

Also, the fact that it’s raining.

Myself. I have such a terrible attitude sometimes that I totally ruin my own day.

Grey hairs! They are multiplying!!! My appointment to get my hair highlighted cannot come soon enough.

Me! I’ve put off so many things that they seem practically insurmountable. Life is riding me, rather than the other way around. Denial, procrastination and confusion…these are a few of my favorite things! :frowning:

I have over done it and I am hurting. Looks like another Ben Gay night for me. Will I ever learn?

The weather - it’s April 25th - can we just get rain, and not snow, at this point? I want to start planting things! Okay, we can never plant here until mid-May because of the risk of frost, so I guess this is normal, but I want to plant now!

Shit. Snow, really? I’ll stop bitching about the rain.

Well, it’s mostly melted now. Just a little left in the shady areas.

Me too. We actually haven’t had snow here since about the beginning of March. Which was a little bit weird, since normally we have snow damn near till May.

Pain. My right shoulder has bothered me all my life, so I’m more or less used to it. But for the last month or so, my left should has been getting progressively worse. I didn’t notice any pain at all until one day I went to take something off a shelf over my head and OHMYGODTHATHURT!!! For the whole month, no real problems unless I lefted my arm above shoulder level, then PAIN.

Today for the first time, it hurts just sitting here.

I burned my thumb while lighting a shabbat candle and now I have a blister. It sucks.

Also, I have to go to work today. Dammit.

Nothing!

I’ve been so upset lately about little stuff, that I’m happy that so far today, I’m not. ::knocking on wood:: Don’t jinx me! :smiley:

I could talk about past days, but I’d be writing for the rest of the week. :wink:

A yard sale I’m having to put on for next weekend. I wish we had enough money that this little extra bit wouldn’t matter and I’d be free of it.

The fact that I suck so badly as a scout on Team Fortress 2 is pissing me off. I try and try and my aim never seems to improve. Screwing with my mouse sensitivity doesn’t seem to help. I can’t find a good middle ground between having my character twitch all over the place at the slightest mouse movement or having my character not be able to turn around without me having to lift my mouse once or even twice.

Grrrr.

I’m not seeing a difference between this and the minirants, so I’m moving it to the Pit.

Once I was a sentimental thing
Threw my heart away each spring;
Now a spring mini-rant hasn’t got a chance
So I’ll rename this fucking thread.

My 6-yr-old kids keep flipping between being absolutely adorable and little monsters. They have entirely too much energy. At the moment, they are NOT cute.
