What are you sick of?
I am so sick of hearing about gluten-free this and gluten-free that. Ugh! You google things and you see "gluten-free" bread, gluten-free muffins, gluten-free pizza! I get spam emails for gluten-free recipes. And it is getting harder and harder to find wheat gluten at the store. I go to the natural food store there is a whole isle called "gluten-free". So I must look like a freak when I am checking out with my bag of Bob Mill's Wheat Gluten.
Peanut free schools. As if peanuts are some terrible thing brought to earth from satin himself. What kid didn't grow up on peanut butter and jelly sandwichs? And kids can't even take PB&J sandwichs to school anymore because there MAY be that one kid with a peanut allergy that MIGHT eat some of the sandwich and get a reaction.
Use up all the hot water. Here at work there is a container to put water in and it heats it up. Every morning I fill it up as I am waiting for my computer to boot up, turn it on then come back to my office and check my email. Half of the time, when I get back out to the breakroom to get my cup of decaf tea, that container is hot, but empty. Somebody used all the water and never refilled it. Why do you think I put the water on to heat on the first place?! >:( Just annooys the crap out of me! I even put more water in there than I need because I know other people also want hot water but does anybody do that for me??? NOOOOO. I miss the midwest, and even upstate NY. Here on Long Island people are the ruddest I have ever seen!
What are you just sick of? >:(
I am also sick of people having a ton of babies. I like kids and want to have kids (my boyfriend is happy either way). But I want a reasonable number of kids (We decided that 2 is the perfect number of children) and we both think people with obscene numbers of kids are nut jobs. I mean just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I am also sick of the sheer number of specials and shows dedicated to people with tons of kids: John and Kate Plus 8, Table for 12 (Special), 18 Kids and Counting (and it's previous incarnations when they had fewer kids), Octomom (this really annoyed me). This drives me up the wall. I love kids, they're awesome but there is no good reason to have 20 kids. It's unhealthy, not to mention bad for the children. My boyfriend watched an episode of 18 Kids and Counting and he says they don't treat them as individual kids, but as a group (kind of like how a teacher would treat a classroom of kids). And I am going to stop now.
My parents had 10 kids, of whom 7 survived (many of us were preemies, but they kept on makin babies). My aunt and uncle had 6. Interestingly enough, all of their children have one or two or none, with the exception of one cousin who had 4. I think our experience as members of large "litters" of children put us off it...never enough money, never enough help, never enough individuation. In my family, I definitely got the impression that my mother would have been happy to stop with the first 4, but due to a) the lack of birth control in the 50's and 60's b) their religious ideas and c) the fact that my father saw it as his validation, the babies kept on coming. By the time I was born (the last) she had definitely "been there done that" and was bored with the whole thing. Besides they definitely preferred boys over girls. Everyone says "the baby of the family is spoiled." Not in my case.
My dad and my fiance's mom always bug me about having kids. Especially now that I am engaged. I have to remind them that:
1. I don't want to
2. I will be unemployed soon and having a kid now would be really bad
3. I would rather adopt
Plus, I think I would be a way better aunt.
We'll we're taught that the cycle of life goes like this:
you're born
go to school
go to college, maybe
get married
get a career
have kids
grow old
watch your kids have kids
get older
be a burden on your kids
die
Or something like that. So if you miss one of those steps there's obviously something wrong with you...
Yeah, I hate how everything has to be planned out. If you dont have a plan everyone expects you to be a complete failure. Why is it so bad just to sit back once in awhile and "plan to be surprised"
LOL, I thought I was the only one that felt this way. Every time I see my relatives someone else in the family has had anouther baby. They love to make me hold them and take dumb pictures. Meanwhile I'm terrified that I am going to drop the poor kid. Just becuase I'm female doesn't mean I like babies!
Ditto! I like kids, not babies.
i am sick of customers attitude problem around the holidays... i think i got yelled at at least 3 times today for no apparent reason!

I like adolescents. When they start thinking for themselves and asking "why." Unless they're in the passive/agressive, dumb insolence stage. The stage where they have no opinion, or at least none they will express, and all you get is "I dunno," "I don't care" and "whatever." I have a student like this who is sixteen and makes me crazy.

+1
I like the holidays but all the extra traffic and the people you have to deal with just plain suck
Another child free by choice woman here.... I am sick of people aSSuming that just because you are female you have to have kids, or something has to be wrong with you. Nope, I am a perfectly happily married person, that is content with having a few cats and has absolutely NO desire to pop out babies.
End of rant ;)
KF: Remember what my journalism teacher used to say: "Never assume, because when you do, you make an ASS out of U and ME."
Or at least out of U, on the part of the one assuming.
Yabbitgirl - how true!!!
I'm not sick of a lot to be honest.
It's summer here, everyone's happy, I'm in my school break.
Life is fine.
HOWEVER.
One thing.
I'm sick of being unemployed. That's it. Other than that, life is dandy.
And what a gorgeous summer! :D
Snow!

When I get dairy-free food when we're at a restaurant so my bf can have some (I'm lacto-veg, and he's lactose intolerant), but then he goes and gets a meat-containing dish, and he says it's fair because he /can't/ have dairy, but I /choose/ not to have meat.
Snow!

It looks like the snow is mooning you!
I'll tell you what I'm sick of. Spammers who "join" VW and make one post, with a hyperlink at the bottom for an omni website. No profile, no more posts, just that link. Which may or may not lead you to a virus. Ugh.
