I know an exact situation! Feel you!!
My sister worked at a bookstore. There was an out of control kid tearing books off the shelves and throwing them on the floor with zero parental supervision. My sister walked over to the child, told the child that they had taken enough books out and that she would help the child clean up. The kid was receptive and started cleaning.
Angry Mom came over 10-15 minutes later, looked at my sister and said “how dare you try to parent my child”. My sister’s very calm response back was “don’t you think one of us should”.
Leafblowers.
And people who decide to use them at the end of the work day, when you are finally relaxing in your garden after a tough day at work.
It’s all I can do not to scream over the fence.
I think I will ask my kid to start practicing the trumpet at 6am.
Give your neighbour a rake as a Christmas present. Say it’s from the “Leaf Fairy”
I might do it as a “Fall Greetings” gift, together with a homemade slice of friendly pumpkin pie and a side of sarcasm…
This makes me laugh just a bit because I had a conversation with my husband yesterday regarding this. We usually try to keep our dog from barking too long but with the excessive use of leaf blowers lately and at what feels like wrong hours, we have contemplated not making her stop barking. At the very least, we don’t have to feel as bad about it.
Procrastination can fuck off. Taking some action today!
Right now? Fruit flies. Weather is getting colder, usually they die then.
But not now, they’re thriving in my kitchen
Anything that uses fossil fuel to remove vegetation. What is up with this obsession with having lawns that look like a golf course?
3AM- changing my infant son. He was in a portable crib with mesh sides. Fumbling for a fresh diaper and he power peed through the mesh- which turned it from a stream into a wide spray. He soaked me, the leather chair, the floor, crib, back all over himself… yeah, that whole experience gets a 1-star rating- do not recommend. It can f right off!
That was me a week ago. Then I set out a dish with apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish soap and that solved it! If you only have white vinegar, add some honey or sugar.
I am excited for when I can buy a house and transform a grass lawn to clover! And other native plants.
I use to do the same as you, helps pretty good.
But as soon as I open any window new flies come in. It’s a neverending story
I just did this to the front yard! Backyard will start next year
Yay! How cool is that. I’ll be asking you for advice at some point
My inner voices and feelings of being worthless, and telling me to be the best just to be something can fuck off.
Jeans sizing.
I mean, seriously: is it too hard to let a width of 31 inch be the same width every time I buy the SAME jeans from the SAME brand?
I’m now retouring the 3. pair of jeans because either the length or the width doesn’t fit.
Arg!!!
Okay I’ll calm down… I’ll calm down…
It’s unnerving and also the normal waist size numbering like 36, 38 etc and the other size in length
I literally never know what size I am, I have to try every jeans in all sizes that could fit.
Seems like I have to go into a store again, grab 5 or 6 jeans and try them all
It’s not good for my nerves to do that online
