If this bombs- so be it.....
I hope its not too long


Ok, first let me be clear: This is not my idea it came from my favorite podcast (not sure I can name it but for sure it's for MA only).

The idea is to share petty, annoying, "first world problems"
for fun and satire but also to cleanse us-and make room for the next irritating things!(LOL)

It doesnt matter if you are a hypocrite- we all are!

I guess the idea is to pretend you are the boss of the world and share what irks you, hopefully its funny as in laughing WITH the poster not AT the poster.

What this is not:
A place to dig up a previous issue with another member
"calling out" someone or using this to complain about another member
OR insulting anyone.

And lets say someone has an issue and you think"gee I do that".
Do not engage with the post as if it's about you like I said We are all hypocrites !

I'll post a longer one but here's an example :

Mail. I'm over it. It's not environmental choice even though it would help- I don't want paper! I dont want any ads, political mail, circulars, ads for siding-NADA!
If you cant email me, or text me (call me too)!
- AND the USPS in my town is notoriously terrible.
I am over it.

(the hypocritical part : I love actual newspapers! Love reading them and having coffee so def pot calling the kettle black)

I’d rather get mail than endless calls, texts and emails about voting or donating to candidates.

Smart phones. I hate when people are sucked into what's happening on a screen than what's going on around them, and how easily access to news, "twisted truth" news, downright fake news, and straight up conspiracy theories are to everyone. Or the obsession with keeping up a front for social media. And certain apps taking advantage of people (like when they put kids in a place they can easily spend their parents money with a push of a button or with the spotify artist rip off situation).

The hypocrisy: I have a smart phone, and I certainly end up using it more than I'd like. I even use spotify as one of my music app rotations, which I hate myself for, but it is one of the more convenient apps for music (I don't pay for it though, so at least I feel better they're taking another companies money for ads instead of mine).

I hear you. But… Smart phones are smart if they are used smartly. Lol Pretty much like everything else. My life would be very limiting without a smart phone. In so many ways. Too lazy to list.

Conspiracy junky look up their fake conspiracy news on tv and computers, don’t even use smart phones.

I’d say I am over social media. What a dark place t can be at times, ruining people’s lives

I am over it: social media.

The hypocrisy: I refuse to delete my Facebook account, and I am psychologically attached to it and Instagram in some strange way.
