As a sister whose brother is in the Marines, I'd love to just...
"Where can I find eye drops?"
"Letter to Garcia."


related to this, people that ask really stupid questions about items they purchase, or ask so many questions they have you their all day.

spoilers.

don't get me wrong, spoilers can be a lifesaver if I'm watching something a bit dark and I'm worried about possible triggers

but also people going around saying...

oh you know in this movie or this book the main character is the hero, or such and such happens to this character... shhut up and let me read/ watch it

pissed me off when someone decided it would be a good idea to talk about harry potter book 7 when I'd not even read it

I've read it now, but the point being.. I know the ending even before I got to the end.

people who clearly don't do, or enjoy, their job- and you can clearly notice it

yet in sted of trying to act professional for the customer, they act like they've spent the last few hours staring at a dry wall

or people in jobs who don't know what they are doing, or don't want to help out.

you just wonder.. well why work their if you're not going to be a part of it

people who fake illness.

it's really not right- and certainly not cool.

I'm not just talking about mental illness- other stuff too
faking physical stuff is just as bad- if not worse

This drives me insane. I know someone who went as far as shaving her head so people would think she had cancer.

Meanwhile I’m terrified of doctors and put the appointments off as far as I can. If I had a choice I’d do everything by phone.

My experience has been in finding that the British — and several other European peoples — hold forks ‘backward’ when, e.g., cutting with a knife and fork and bringing fork to mouth when devouring meat.

This may just be prole practice — I’ve never been invited to a royal banquet!

I knew someone like that too!

this girl from the states did exactly that.

I also used to know a woman called vicky who

Possible trigger:


it wasn't cool, for those of us who were really trying to help her and believe her

she wasn't at all depressed, she admitted to us she just wanted a reaction out of it

Can we really accuse people of faking situations and illnesses? I am sure we have all encountered people who have no clue or attempt to understand our mental illnesses and that we are 'faking it' ourselves. I have been accused multiple times of faking depression or anxiety so as to take a day off work. So I find this all a little bit like the case of the pot calling the kettle black.

What irks me? People who don't follow the speed limit; whether it is someone slowing down traffic by going 50 in an 80 zone or flying past at 125 in a 110 zone.

What else bothers me is when someone lies to me about what they did when I have been monitoring everything because tgey had refused to communicate in the first place. Beyond irritsting because they don't want to look as incompetent as they actually are. Then they REALLY believe their own lies.

Why does a furniture store, that only sells furniture, not have any kind of slip covers? I’m getting a new $300 chair. I have had one other new piece of furniture. And it was a giant bean bag chair. The rest of my furniture was stuff we already had, or were thrift store finds. This new chair is a light color and the fabric feels like a blanket. I eat most of my meals and snacks in this room. It’s ok to spill on a $15 thrift store recliner, but not a brand new $300 chair. I don’t want to put a sheet on it. I feel like that will just make the room look sloppy. I know the easiest solution would be to just not make a mess. Or not eat on the chair at all. But I do want a slipcover. I’ve been looking online. Maybe I should just go to Walmart and Target and look.

Munchausen Syndrome. A mental disorder. I don’t pretend to understand it.

I don’t understand why I do what I do, either. I can’t help but do what I do.

You’re absolutely right; if we expect compassion from others we need show compassion to pots and kettles.

people who spoil their kids

I just don't understand how some parents just don't have any bounderies

if it's what their little angels want, they get it.

also parents who convince their children it's okay to use cuss words, and to hit people- so the child is walking around going I want a ****ing icecream, get me it ****ing now

not appropriate
Thanks for this!

dumb questions

things like when someone asks for a bottle to be poured in to a glass, and the first question is: should I open one first?

well, unless you can find a way to pour it while the bottle is closed...

people who think it's okay to just drop their rubbish at any given location

the earth isn't one massive litter bin people

dropping an empty can on the pavement does not class as throwing it away

My husband being a b**** to me because he injured his foot. In other words: People who don't feel well being s*******s to their caregivers. I mean, what's up with that? If I don't feel well, I'm still kind to the people who are around me. But then again, I could break my leg and no one I know would do so much as get me a glass of water, so. Maybe if I was demanding and grouchy they'd wait on me in the hope of keeping me quiet.

Faking illness could be a mental illness all in itself. Could be a symptom of OCD (I actually know someone with health OCD strongly believing she has various diseases) etc some people have delusions and believe they are sick etc.

I don’t think we should accuse people of faking illnesses as we don’t know what’s going on with the person. Not right

People that are unwilling to understand mental illness. Yet they come on board to help make changes in policy and regulation of how a organization runs. It irks me we allow people that have no understand what it feel like to have a mental illness to sit on a board of a organization. One of my ex- friend is on a counseling board and wants to make changes just so it suits her and others, she could care less about those that use to organization.
