Pet peeves / vents

[amaranth]

What's got you riled up or annoyed today?

My church will.not.leave.me.alone. I keep getting pressured into joining new committees or heading up departments. People. Check your files. I lead the entire middle school ministry! I am in the nursery once a month. I direct a sub department for the mom's group. Plus I have a non church job and volunteer position. I don't have any more hours in the day than they do but they get all huffy when I say my plate is full.

[MrsMB]

This reminds me of the Baptist church we attended growing up. More committees = more holiness. It took my family and I a long time in a non-denominational church setting to learn to just relax and just do the few things that we felt called to do.

I hate it when someone steps into my office and asks, "Are you busy?" If you answer "yes," you're not providing customer service and are blowing them off. If you answer, "No," it's as if you're admitting you're a slacker with nothing to do. So, I just say, "Come on in!"

My boss made me on a work trip this week that I'm literally contributing nothing to. I'm sitting in a meeting in CO bored out of my mind. So far today I've eaten a bagel, shopped on Amazon, cleaned my inbox, and read GBCN. Brilliant use of resources!

Oh, DEAR. Did they not want to go alone or something? Weird!

amaranth- that would really annoy me...to the point of purposely not wanting to pick up any more duties and possibly quit a couple of commitments. They should be thankful for all you are doing vs being greedy and ungrateful. You have a ton on your plate just outside of church and the majority would choose to not give any of their time.

Everything LOL. I am 35 weeks pregnant and it's the end of August (so hot here for way too long).

Today would be C's epic tantrums when we got home from a nice morning out. He is also in another sleep regression and I do not have the patience for his schedule being all over the place and him being a sleep deprived mess.

Yesterday it was DH calling to tell me not to move/adjust the driver seat in his car when I drive it. It annoys me because he insists I drive his car when I would prefer to drive my own and then he has the balls to complain about this. AND, I was driving to get ice cream that HE wanted. The conversation ended with me hanging up abruptly after telling him that I will just drive my car from now on...problem solved

[amaranth]

luv2rn4fun WHAT??? No offense, but your husband did not deserve that ice cream. I hope you ate it in front of him. Who says the driver can't adjust the seat, and why have another car if you're not supposed to use it? I'm all outraged for you.

My car is the "nice" car that needs to last forever (financially we can't replace it for a LONG time, especially now that we have a hefty mortgage)...so, he requests that I drive it when possible and it's not a fight worth fighting for me. BUT yeah, he was SO wrong in picking this fight...he's lucky he mentioned this after the ice cream was bought he needs an attitude adjustment lately...picking fights over the stupidest things and it's driving me more crazy than I already am being so pregnant. I think he got the memo though because his time was much more pleasant than normal when he came home last night. In his defense...we both kind of suck at marriage right now...this next year should be very interesting...

[MrsMB]

luv2rn4fun Oh, uh uh....he needs to simma down a touch. It takes me two seconds to readjust my seat after DH drives my car.

My thoughts exactly! It took him longer to unlock his phone and call me than to readjust his seat. And really, he thought that conversation was going to go well, how!?! LOL. needless to say, I did not engage in the crazy for long

[melsamoony]

I hate when people say sorry to bother you.....because really you arent. Maybe i am jusr cynical.

One of H's friends has some new facial hair. It's a flavor saver  .  Just, why?  I find it so weird.

[estrellita]

I'm annoyed with the Tapatalk app right now. I have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling it. And it still won't work right. I've preferred it over mobile web but I might need to switch. Ugh.

Cool, I'll be over here on Amazon.

[MrsMB]

My H is growing out his mustache for his friend's wedding in October. He's not planning on actually having it on his face at the wedding, but he wants to freak out his friend's fiancée by pretending that he's going to. Meanwhile, I have to deal with seeing it every day.

I told him that I'm going to shave it off in his sleep.

Hahaha. That's a horrible joke. That poor bride.

[awick14]

katespade- dh has so much facial hair right now. (I his defense, he gets a bad rash from shaving, dh he hates shaving.) But I'm not a fan of his beard/mustache. I have threatened to shave it in his sleep, but I know he would wake up partway through it and he wouldn't care what it looks like and he would go out in public half shaved. :/ lol

[MrsAggie]

When H was in the army he would get really hairy when he was on leave. He felt like a rebel by not shaving. I'm okay with scruff now but a stache alone? No!

He has a goatee right now, which is a little bit better than mustache only, but he's planning to shave the beard portion before the next time he sees his friend's fiancée.

I'm torn between laughing and crying. lol.

My H has a full beard and I love it! When he first grew it years ago I thought I would hate it. He has joked about having just a mustache and I shut it down. I think he would look super creepy with it.

I LOVE DH's beard! Love it! It's one of my favorite things and I used to NEVER like beards! In fact, I now get him funny beard shirts as part of birthday/special occasion gifts. He loves them. This latest one says, "Why YES I'm a pirate! (Did the beard give it away?)"

[melsamoony]

H used to not be able to grow a beard....his facial hair came in all patchy. Now he can and it does jot make me happy.

[katespade]

I'm a fan of facial hair, but only with dark hair. H is blonde. lol.

[melsamoony]

Tapatalk is hating me today and it is driving me crazy. I try to open GBCN on the internet from my phone and it just takes me to tapatalk.

DH grew a beard when he was worth in North Dakota one winter. He never let me see it and shaved it before he came home. I felt cheated for at least not getting to see how it looked on him. 

[HoneySpider]

I hate facial hair, one time when we were apart for a few weeks DH grew a beard just because eh could and it was awful, so glad he shaved it off as soon as I saw him again
