Henlo frens!

Good to see all of you here UwU.

Grab on to your bodypillows, I have a smol announcement about the purpose of this subreddit.

This community is meant as a fun, lighthearted place where we can commiserate with each other about those annoying little irritations that hinder our day to day enjoyment in life.

That means that suitable posts here can be about my children.

And things like a wall socket or tile being placed out of allignment. A crack in a phone screen. Duckling shit on your new car. Incomprehensible software. Mismatched buttons. You know, the little things.

This subreddit isn't meant to incite rage mobs that go after people. For that reason we say:

No reddit meta posts

No posts about being banned from subreddit. No posts about up- or down-votes. No posts about shitty moderators or users or subreddits. No posts about reddit.

All jokes and tomfoolery aside, that sort of thing gets us in trouble with site admins. If we allow one type of post about reddit it then very easily moprhs into allowing posts that directly call out other subreddits or users, we just can't allow any of it.

That rule already existed for years and we have just made it more clearly visible in the sidebar on old and new reddit. We're gonna be a little strict on it for a bit I'm afraid. 🥺

Thank you all for being awesome and have a very Merry Christmas! Celebrate Christmas in the traditional European way, with a suasage roll!

Bought my first boat, within 20 minutes of owning it: hit and run on the highway.

Bought my first boat after wanting to for 15+ years, got it on the highway and got hit in stop-and-go traffic outside of Washington DC 20 minutes later. First picture is the boat, after that are the damage... pretty minor thankfully, the last pictures after are of him speeding away on the shoulder, he stopped, I asked if he had insurance, he said, "yeah lemme go get it," and took off tires squealing... smh

The boat isnt worth enough to deal with a police report, I don't have insurance on it yet, just sucks.

Please stop saying people without kids don’t know what tired is

20.0k Upvotes

When I seem to make a comment about being tired, I have multiple times had people reply with “try having kids” or “you don’t know what tired is until you have kids”.

While I respect that raising and caring for children is stressful, tiring and a challenge, that doesn’t mean people without them are not tried.

Personally, I have a full time job that I bust my ass at mentally 40 hours a week, plus a physical part time job. I have my own health problems I’ve been dealing with for 5 years that enormously drains my energy. And I am frequently stressed about my husband’s mental health.

No kids doesn’t equal not tired. We’re just tired for different reasons.

That’s all. Thanks for reading. 💕

The right is the updated, newer box.

We weren’t buying them anyway, but had to take a picture. It’s not just junk food. I’m switching up my skincare staples too because they’re giving less product and changing to cheaper formulas.

Tired of giving these fuckers money..

Lent a book to a friend and spotted it in her bathroom a couple weeks later

I didn’t take a picture so I tried to draw something quick to set the scene. I also use “lent” lightly because I never got the book back. Which is also mildly infuriating because I love and cherish my books, but not after being around someone else’s caca particles. We are no longer friends (for reasons unrelated to this incident)

Never had this happen before. Usually when I get spiced rum and coke I get a spiced rum but the attendant actually put hot sauce in it thinking that’s how it’s spiced

Made a super yummy dinner and then screwed myself over😔

2.7k Upvotes

okay SO necessary background:

- i’m gluten free (severe intolerance)

- have been craving fried rice for forever and a day but i have to make it at home (using gluten free soy sauce)

-got my wisdom teeth out last friday (exactly a week ago)

with that in mind, let me set the scene:

i am feeling fine after my surgery (on post op day 7 and my sutures have already dissolved). i’ve been doing absolutely everything i can to take care of my mouth cause im terrified of getting dry socket 😭😭 i figure if im super careful and use the flush syringe thingy they gave me, i can make fried rice and then flush the holes.

i do so. i have an absolute BLAST in the kitchen making the meal! i’ve never made it before because im lazy and also absolutely useless in the kitchen, and it was even more fun cause i was listening to new music and enjoying trying something new.

i take my sweet time eating, actively flushing the holes between like every 10 bites because i can feel stuff getting in them and im getting grossed out lol, and then after i finish eating i do my final flush. disaster strikes!! as i’m flushing the upper right hole, the blood clot comes out and i am IMMEDIATELY hit with pain and know i have royally fucked up😔

actively panicking at this point but also trying to be chill, i email my surgeon (keep in mind it’s like 10:37pm on a friday night, this man is NOT responding to my stupid ass) and reluctantly grab the bag of peas from the freezer, and get to icing.

i am now terrified to eat and am only drinking water😭 i should NOT have made that meal but alas, the cravings were too strong </3

(photo included so you can tell me you’re proud of me for trying something new :3, i even diced an onion for the first time)

Chronically late “parent” response to picking up our child on time from school.

Post image
20.1k Upvotes

My child’s other parent is chronically late to everything, including school pickup, and today was a masterpiece.

Our daughter gets out early on Fridays (1:30), so I texted him ahead of time to remind him and even sent the school’s late pickup policy. His solution? Tell me to call the school and let them know he’d be late.

Since the school literally logs late pickups and can require conferences after a few, I just picked her up so she wouldn’t be sitting there waiting.

Later he starts texting me asking if I got her, then calling me names, and finally gets upset that I picked her up without notifying him first… while he’s texting me from outside my house.

So apparently the correct protocol was:

  1. Let the child sit at school

  2. Wait for him to arrive late

  3. Notify him that I saved the day

I’ll be sure to file the proper paperwork with the Department of Managing Other People’s Tardiness next time.

I’m tired of people older than me telling me I don’t know what pain is

135 Upvotes

I’m a 31 year old woman and I’ve had bad back pain for as long as I can remember along with some other consistent chronic pain. Some days my whole body hurts from the neck down. Days with a headache on top of that are miserable.

I fell on concrete three separate times growing up in elementary school, the third time knocking me completely unconscious, I woke up in a sleeping bag and the adults in charge of me didn’t inform my family until pick up. My uninformed family took the direction of doctors in the south that should’ve corrected them and they took me to a chiropractor for about a decade. I stopped going in my late teens when I found out on my own that what they were doing to me was definitely making my problems worse.

BUT I can’t even mildly complain about any of this pain around anyone 10+ years older than me without being told that “You don’t know what pain is yet” or “Just wait until you’re older, you can’t even understand the pain i’m in.” It was way worse in my twenties but I guess hitting the thirty year mark is giving me some grace from these people but not very often.

Like okay???? Thanks for playing the misery olympics with me when I didn’t ask to participate? Thanks for making the future seem like something to look forward to??? I finally snapped on a busy body cowowker the other day who likes to compare pain and misery and told her “I’m experiencing age and life for the first time like every body else, am I not allowed to bitch and complain too?” She didn’t have much to say to me after that.

I think the worst thing is that I fell in front of 35 12 year olds. Had to complete an injury on duty process, which is more of a pain in the butt (pun intended). This after I fell down the stairs at school only 2 weeks prior. FML
