Overly positive people on social media. I know it’s fake bc I know them in real life. I hate when people live fake lives to make themselves seem better. It doesn’t even make a difference in my life but it drives me bananas. Especially anything to do with parenting.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
When people thank their children for choosing them to be their parents. They didn’t chose you!!!
I worked with a guy who believed that they did - that human souls decide when to be born, and to whom, and when to die. It sounds .... not rational to me, but it was his sincere belief.
In DHs adult life, his parents started calling each other "mommy" and "daddy". Called each other that directly and when referring to one another. DH even commented on it - it wasn't something he grew up with them doing. It wasn't until he was in his late 30s that they started doing this. ANd HE calls/ed them Mom and Dad. So where this mommy and daddy thing came from- we don't get it and found it odd.
MIL died 5 years ago and FIL STILL refers to her as "mommy".
We get bagels, muffins and fruit delivered to work on Mondays. Several times, I have seen a muffin cut horizontally in half. The top has been taken and the bottom is left.
It bothers me so much. You can’t take the top half of a muffin and leave the bottom! If you want half a muffin, it should be cut vertically. I don’t even eat the muffins so I really don’t know why I care. It just seems like an unspoken rule is being broken.

This bugs me, but also eleventy billion #mommyjuice #brutaltruth bullshit posts about how haaaaaaaaaard parenting is get on my last damn nerve. Sure, escorting people from birth to adulthood is challenging. But over the course of human existence people literally have done this billions upon billions of times over. Stop whining!
I hate when people refer to their friends or family as their “tribe”
I have several artisan friends who make wares and sell them (like jewelry) and refer to these inanimate objects as “babes” (as in, just finished these babes today, on sale tomorrow!) UGH

Essentially, there's no pleasing me.
Yes. Anything at all that is over the top is annoying, positive or negative. I’m fine with sporadic positivity/negativity but I have so many people that profess their life and adoration for kids/husband/whatever every single post and I want to shank them. Especially since I know better. I had one friend like that and she ended up divorcing her husband after she cheated on him with her boss. Lol. Mmkay miss positivity.

These monsters need to be brought to justice. Posthaste. If you don’t like muffin stems (lol) THROW THEM OUT. don’t leave a sad carcass thinking someone else wants the loser pile.

I have a friend like that. Every single post was about how perfect and kind and flawless her kids are and how blessed her life is. Completely over the top. Then one day, boom, she announces a divorce. Not sure why but it sure seemed out of nowhere because of her non-stop posts about her exquisitely perfect life. She also sells stuff MLM so there's that.

Oh yes. And if you use Native American imagery or language in your "tribe" posts, I immediately write you off as an ass.

That people still support football/the NFL. From hiding concussion effects, to the misogyny, racism, etc, there are no compelling reasons to support that stupid game/organization.
When my MIL signs get texts “Nana”. You are not my Nana, you are my MIL so if you insist on signing your texts (which you don’t need to do, I know you) at least sign them “Ann”
My mother in law, with whom I have a solidly tepid relationship, signed her Thanksgiving card (yeah, she sends cards for all the Hallmark holidays) with “MomMIL”.
Told my DH NOOOOOPE. I don’t care if she’s trying to figure out whatever she is doing but that irritates me beyond oblivion. I have ONE mother. That’s it.

I don't trust anyone who posts like that or why they feel the need to post that shit. Obviously, some of it is the validation they get, but it drives me crazy. And really, one of the worst offenders I know is also the most fake, so there is that too.
I hate when people say "making memories." I know what they mean but memories are constantly being formed, not just when you are doing something for instagram.
I cannot stop laughing at this. You're so right. Are you by chance in engineering or another science field?
Asking me what the kids want for their bday and Christmas. Their bdays and Christmas are 3 weeks apart so we are juggling an “ideas” spreadsheet and doling our ideas to close family because god forbid the giver’s hurt feelings if they get a duplicate (my mother). Also — they are 9 and 12 — ask them yourselves people!!!
This should not bother me because yes I am grateful that people want to buy them presents but annoyed I have to “keep track” of the ideas I’ve sent out and also that people can’t just try to get them something based on their relationship to them.

"Solidly tepid relationship" is about the best description I've ever heard.

Why yes, I am. What gave it away? Lol
I love it. I am not, but benefit greatly from having engineer/scientist friends and colleagues offering their perspectives. I spend a good part of every day going "Huh. I never thought about it that way."

This reminds me of my friend...and by friend, I mean I only see her once a year so it shouldnt bother me but she posts about how her H is the love of her life and they have the best marriage and she hopes everyone can find a love like theirs. I always want to post, except for that 2 year period where you moved out and cheated on him right?
People that assume that I have a Facebook account annoy me. I know it’s irrational because “everybody” has a FB account and that it is probably a safe assumption nowadays. I was especially annoyed when we almost missed little league sign-ups because it was only posted on their FB page. I’ve also missed out on pics of DS at school because his teacher has a private FB page. Then I feel bad if I ask her to email or text me the pics.
My mom is a good mom, so I feel petty by how much she annoys me, but after a weekend at her place I’m plenty annoyed.
- If you ask her where to find something, she tells you, but then gets up to locate it herself, as if you couldn’t possibly on your own. Then she grumbles about her creaky bones or some such, to let you know she’d rather have been sitting.
- She gets so put out by the kids doing kid things, and I don’t mean wild, crazy stuff. Just pouting, picky eating, and general kid things. She’s definitely not a doting grandma! She’d rather talk to me or her dog.
- When I’m packing up to leave, she’s constantly asking if I remembered this or that. She brought my conditioner up to the guest bedroom and said, “You forgot this!” when I had barely started packing. I think she wants to think she’s “helping” when really she’s just making me nuts.
Like goldengirlz, I get frustrated when someone parks in front of my house. HOWEVER, we're the *only* house on the block without a driveway. (It's a really old neighborhood. No one has garages, lots are narrow so "in front of my house" is like 2.5 car lengths). Inevitably, this happens on the day I go grocery shopping. There will be NO ONE ELSE parked on the street and then some stranger parked in front of my front walk. Occasionally, the driver is in their car eating or talking on the phone. GO PARK IN FRONT OF ANY OF THE OTHER DOZENS OF HOUSES WHERE THE OWNER HAS A DRIVEWAY TO USE!
Also annoying is when my family members leave shoes *right* in the middle of the walkway. My husband's feet are ginormous & a massive trip hazard.

A woman I shoot archery with posts often on FB asking for gifts. It could be a random shirt, craft kit, appliances, or whatever. She'll post the link with her size and color preference. I know it doesn't effect my life, but man it irritates the hell out of me.

This is dumb and makes me feel guilty, but I feel like my mom talks to my daughters like they are still 3 or 4. She also is always on them immediately for a glass that is in anyway near the edge of a table, even when it is not.
And then I feel guilty because she is my only living parent and has been having health issues the past few years.
We spent time with FIL/SMIL yesterday. That, in and of itself bothers me (Briebart reading Trumpsters). They gave all the grandkids age appropriate Bible's.
Thing is, I know my grandma gave me a Bible once and it didn't bother me. But, I grew up very close to her and attended the same church when I was little. FIL & SMIL see the kids maybe twice a year. They know nothing of our faith (or lack thereof) but based on them thinking the left are heathens and them knowing how liberal I am, I felt like this was a way to make sure the children were saved.
I'm especially irritated at the "girl" version DD got because it makes me assume it'll teach her to be subservient.
They're in my trunk now, hoping to they'll forget about them and then the Goodwill guy will accidentally take them when I drop off some clothes...

When we go some place like the zoo and people are taking 8 zillion pictures of the animals. Not their kids in front of the animals but just the animals. The giraffe is doing something funny? Fine, snap a picture but what do you really plan to do with that five minute video of the zebra just standing around? This is not limited to the zoo, I am also bothered by people taking pictures of every single whatever we are there to view. Just enjoy it while you are there!
