(Almost) Every night I am making dinner and I tell H when it's almost ready. He comes in and I still have to ask him to get DD ready (put on bib, roll up sleeves) and could you please get napkins & silverware? Why is this so hard? We do this every night, I have to ask every night, and he calls me a nag every night. Why husband? Why?
This reminds me of the one I posted earlier today!
I'll make dinner and let MH know when it's ready. He comes in and gets a place mat for himself, fills up a glass of water and grabs a fork and sits down and waits for me to serve it. Um hello? Am I not eating with you? I mean, I cook and serve it. Couldn't you take the 2 seconds to at least grab a second place mat?
When someone calls you and NEVER leaves a voicemail. Then wonders why you never call back. Sorry, if it's that important, leave a dang voicemail. I'm not a phone person and they know it.
Or when I do leave a voicemail and they call back without listening to it. So I end up repeating everything I just said in the voicemail.
I am not looking forward to this conversation with my parents. They're going to be frustrating about it, I already know.
H and I aren't religious though we were both raised Catholic. We actually found an obscure religion that we like and will loosely raise any LOs that way. We have slowly introduced it to our families and the response has been hit or miss. I think most of them think its a cult even though its been around longer than most common religions. Oh and according to my grandfather we are both heathens because we didn't get married in the church and he just happened to be "sick" on the day of my wedding so he couldn't attend. I wish family would keep their damn opinions to themselves.
Now I'm curious what religion you guys like. I'm up for learning of/about religions, even if I don't agree with them.
MrRama and I aren't particularly religious, either. He and I don't necessarily align on our beliefs, but it's wholly a non-issue/component of our relationship. We're planning to raise our kids with common sense and let them figure out if/what they want to be religiously.
I'm sorry your family is a bunch of butts. I'd be really mad at anyone who refused to come to my wedding for something as ridiculous as it not being in a church.
Just got back from a work luncheon and I have a new irrational irritation: people talking with their mouth full of food. Also people who pick apart what you eat ie: "why are you eating healthy?!"
Or when they smack with their mouth full of food! I have a kid at church that will chew and talk with his mouth open the whole time and his parents will never say a word to him. And if you say something to him? OH HELL NO! He's God sent and can do whatever the hell he wants. He's also very rude and childish. He's 13-15 and acts 6.
Another irrational (but maybe understandable?) irritation: when people across campus decide they are going to use regular manila envelopes to send things via intercampus mail instead of the tons of intercampus envelopes we have.
Secondary rational irritation: Especially when they fuck up the metal tabbies/strings/wtfever closes the thing and they have to use five pounds of tape or thirteen carpet staples to hold it shut.
Tertiary rational irritation: If you have an entire goddamn ream of paper to send to me, USE MORE THAN ONE ENVELOPE, JIMINY FUCKING CHRISTMAS.
Related irritation: people who put legal sized papers into letter sized inter office envelopes. Why does anyone even BUY the fucking letter ones? Letter paper fits legal envelopes! Also, please fill out the "from" line. I know half the envelopes are stupid and don't have a from line, but you can write it in. How can I follow up with a question if I don't know who sent this random paper?

When I am in a line and the person behind me things personal space is not a thing. I don't want to feel you breathing on me, and if I move a little, I should not hit you with my body or purse. MOVE BACK!
When people continue to text to the whole group... Even worse when I'm not friends with or don't have those people's numbers so I have no stinking clue who keeps talking!!!
I have my phone set for individual messages just so I don't continue to text the group. It bugs me when I get group messages and new conversations pop up.

It started when I told H that we had to find a religion we both liked. This was because religion and religious events (holidays, church goings, catholic school) was a huge focus of our childhood and of our family. Even if we didn't believe in Catholisism it was a huge component of our lives and I wanted our children to have that sense of family and togetherness. H found a religion that did not focus on praying to a god but instead focused on family. Its called Shinto and its the traditional belief system of Japan that closely grew with Buddhism. We are still learning about it and actually went to our first Shinto ceremony, for my misfortune purification, last week while we are in Washington. The only other Shinto shrine near to us is two time zones away in Colorado. If you want to know more just PM me and I can explain more about the ceremony and what it entailed.
{Spoiler} They shot arrows across the inner shrine! So freaking cool!
And my mother has still not forgiven my grandfather for not coming to my wedding. I got over it because he is a grumpy old man but only after I wrote him a scathing email about how much his wife/my grandmother would be pissed at him for his childishness.

I like to leave a big gap between me and the person in front. Then I can move into it to get some behind room back. Then assholes scoot right back up. So I started leaving one foot out to the side and just leaning into my buffer zone. True fuckwads step on my foot.

We have a business here that DOESN'T HAVE A VOICEMAIL. How can I get in touch with you to schedule my furniture delivery if you're always busy and I can't leave a message?

Aaaah! I didn't know that Shinto was still practiced today! I'll definitely have to look more into it.

It is but mostly in select groups, usually with high Asian populations. This is why the shrines are in Colorado, Washington and then there are a couple in Hawaii.

That was my biggest issue with campus mail. But seriously, mark out the extra names. We kept getting mail back to us because people didn't bother marking out names.
When someone uses dental floss or a tooth pick in a public area. Like my circulation desk. Really you think we all want to see you pick your teeth? It is bad cause she is my staff member and she does it all of the time. In front of students. Ugh.
I am irrationally irritated by how DH leaves food on the fork when he's done. Like he'll take the last bite, but he doesn't in anyway close his mouth around the fork so it winds up with half a bite of stuff left on it. I don't know if I was taught to use a fork differently, but mine are always clean when I'm done...I'm not licking the forks or anything, but I don't leave food on them.
This is exactly how MH is with peanut butter on a spoon or knife!! He leaves so much left on the utensil. I HATE cleaning them after he's done.
I literally cannot hand wash a knife that has peanut butter on it because I gag. I have to use the little sprayer thing to spray off all the peanut butter and then wash it. Something about the smell, and then I feel like I am washing all my other dishes with a peanut buttered cloth.
I had to block a couple of my uncles because they would keep a group text going for days with corny jokes that only they understood. Cut the shit and create your own group text with just the three of you ffs!
Lurking, and I totally agree. Especially because on my iPhone and H's Galaxy, we have to open up our data and only then can we read the group texts. We don't keep ours on all the time, and then people wonder why we're not responding.
MH is an engineer, and he's easily the best writer in the place. For some reason, the people he works with, most of whom have Masters or Doctorates, just cannot write correctly. Drives him nuts. He tells me all the time I should go work in his office, just so I can make sure all communication going through that place actually makes sense.
I love to see the creative ways my husband spells words (he is an engineer too). I think the most recent was quesadilla spelled casadia. He is actually decent at writing reports though, thank god for spell check!
AFM: I hate when people come to full stops before entering an empty roundabout. Scan to the left as you approach people. If it is completely empty just roll on through at a safe speed. No need to yield to a non existent car.
/ded.
My ex-bf was a science nerd/genius. Couldn't spell for shit (think "desition" for "decision," etc.). Thank god, for my own sanity, I married a humanities nerd/genius.

I thought of another one for me.
I get II when people don't use their headlights just because it's daytime. It's foggy here today, and I couldn't count the number of cars that did not have their lights on.
I'mma take it a step further and say that my truly irrational irritation is people not having headlights on any time they drive. I think if the car is moving, the lights should be on. I realize that many will probably disagree with me, but that's why it's irrational!

I completely agree with you on the foggy part. If it's raining or foggy and automatic lights come on, then it is dark enough for EVERYBODY to turn their lights on. Not only is it annoying to me, but extremely dangerous!
But now, if it's daylight, nah. They can stay off.

Is this a male thing? H's spelling isn't that great and his reading out loud is atrocious. I don't know if he just doesn't take the time to actually reads the words correctly or if he just has trouble reading aloud. It's so bad that I'm worried about him reading to any LOs that we may have and giving them bad reading habits.

I love that you used this word.
Also, JIMINY FUCKING CHRISTMAS.
I had to look this word up. Learn something new every day.
