Negative Nancy

Here's a random collection of things that I HATE:

Humidity. Not only for how uncomfortable it feels, but for its revolting aftermath left on my hair.

Bad customer service. Nothing gets me madder than a rude worker in ANY capacity.

The spider that crawled across me last night. Yes, I killed you, but I still hate you because I know you must have friends that are still out there.

Cramps. Enough said.

Proactive commercials. They pretty much make me cry. I've tried Proactive three times, followed everything to the letter for months on end, honestly gave it a good shot, but it just does not work for me. In the words of Stephanie Tanner - how rude!

Whining. The repetitive broken-record kind. "Mom... Mom.... Mom.... Mom!... MOM!..." Bang. That was the bullet through my head.

Lactose Intolerance. I WANT to love you, ice cream, really I do. But you are like a boxing match on my insides.

Video Games. With all the testosterone pumping through this house, I'm doomed to a life of them. There's no avoiding it. But I just don't think I will ever get on board.

The cat next door. The one who likes to "mark" all over my front porch, or anything else that's sitting out there. So now my entire porch will forever reek of cat pee.

The hair on my legs. The curse of the brunette is that even ONE MINUTE after I shave my legs, it still looks like I need to shave my legs. And I get crazy razor burn, so I can't even do it that often. Grrr.

Doing the dishes.

Watching shaky home video. Or any camera footage that's bouncing all over the place. (HURL!)

Airplane turbulence.

Things that are "sugar-free" and taste like crap.

Running out of printer ink RIGHT in the middle of a project/deadline.

Sinus pain. Sinus infections must be the brainchild of Satan himself. (Same goes for mastitis.)

People being more concerned with labels, name brands, stereotypes, or some other useless aspect of an item rather than the item itself.

The way I can get my feelings hurt way too easily in certain situations. I hate that it happens, hate that I don't know what to do about it, then hate how I feel like an idiot afterwards.

Being bored. Must. have. projects!

That the maker of my favorite polyfill stuffing stopped distributing their product!!! Now I have nothing good to put inside my toy swords. The alternative brands do not "pack" well and the swords just want to flop around like wet noodles. It's a tragedy I tell ya. One that just might lead to the demise of my Etsy shop.

Fishy smell and taste.

Eating anything from the toaster that's gone cold.

Soggy sandwiches, too.

And last but not least.........

Politics.

The end.

You would like my customer experience story. After not receiving my newspaper for 5 weeks in a row and a call to the AZ Republic, I called a 2nd time to finally just cancel my subscription. The lady on the phone said "I'm seeing on my records you have only called us once before. So this is only the second time you've called to let us know of the problem." ONLY the second time!!!!???? Are you kidding me!? They should have fixed it after the FIRST time! Terrible service. No longer reading their newspapers. :) Okay, spiders, yuck. Whining, hear ya. Cat, maybe you'll get lucky & find it on the side of your house with the same fate as the last one Jason found. :) And last Politics - I hate it too, but I feel like I need to be more proactive in that area b/c we're all going to be held accountable if this country goes to pot. So, sorry you'll have to block me on facebook. ;)

Your list made me laugh. Sometimes it feels good to get all your irritations out on the table.

Hope Cooper is still doing good!

I actually found a cream that I shave with that takes care of razor burn. Seriously. It's not super cheap ($18.50) but doesn't take much and lasts forever. It won't help with the fact that you are brunette but the little bumps will be gone! Let me know if you want me to send you a link on it:)
PS everyone has rant days, isn't it nice to write it out

Are you in a bad mood today? I couldn't tell. hehe.

Deb said...

Oh I have days like this were everything under that sun drives me crazy.

I can sympathize with

1. Bad customer service. I've been on the recieving end of that, and I just don't understand how some horrible people out there are able to sleep at night.

2. Spiders. YEEE-UCK! There are spiders EVERYWHERE here, seriously - Everywhere. So many bugs in general. I hate it. I have a couple of friends who find a couple of brown recluse spiders a year in their house. AHHHHHH!!!!

3. Proactive. I tried it once too and it didn't do crap for me.

4. Dishes. Why does it never end. I spend most of my waking hours in the stupid kitchen doing stupid dishes.

5. Getting my feelings hurst so easily. Why do I have to be such a sissy? Hope I never hurt your feelings before. If I did it was an accident.

Cheer up the sun will come out tomorrow.
