The word “resilient.”

No, I don’t possess some special skill or quality that enables me to power through my teenager’s second suicide attempt in a single month and complete lack of support from his dad because he thinks he’s “just seeking attention.”

I’m so terrified and sad I can hardly breathe, but yes I still get out of bed every day and go to work because no one else is going to pay the bills and keep a roof over our heads.

I’m not resilient, I’m completely broken inside. I don’t need a compliment that disguises the very real human cost of what I’m going through.

That’s not irrational, PP. I’m sorry. I am glad your DS was not successful and I wish I could give you a big hug.

2. When people are walking and they cross right in front of me forcing me to come to a sudden stop, especially if those people are men.
3. People who listen to music or watch videos in public without headphones.

We should hang out.

I have a coworker that marks every single email as "high importance" with that stupid red checkmark. I sit on her stuff longer than I would otherwise.

The word “journey” in the medical context. As if I’m supposed to be gaining some joy and meaning out of a situation that just sucks.

1) when you let a car go in front of you and they don’t do that “thanks” wave.
2) when my husband tries to do voices for kids books, but they all sound like a bad 50’s movie mobster regardless of who the character is…this is very irrational, because he is so clearly being a great dad, but it is like nails on a chalkboard.
3) avocados that never get soft before they rot.
4) when people call the boys teams “mascots” and the girls teams “lady mascots” especially when the mascot is something is equally male and female. There are female lions, eagles, etc.

As others have said, drivers that slowly putter along in the left lane.

People who use the words: curated or gifted.

I also hate #2 but the biggest culprit of this in my life is my 6 year old. She loves just wandering into your lane and then stopping or slowing down. I've explained to her that when she doe this, I have to do like parkour gymnastics to avoid bowling her over. She sort of gets it? I don't think it' getting better. But I can't get angry with her because that will just make it worse. Sigh.

I hear you, completely. And I am with you, right down to the husband who keeps talking about “seeking attention.”

Really? I hum sometimes when I walk around my neighborhood. Hmm…

People who bring Twitter or text messaging abbreviations to forums or other social media platforms that don’t have a character limit/don’t have a history of short form content. If you’re on Reddit you can totally type the full word, I promise. Leave the dumb lack of vowels-speak on Twitter please!

When I go on Goodreads trying to find out if I should start some book and a bunch of the reviews are like, “I hated this, there were no good characters, everyone was so unlikeable!!!!!” What do you want?!?! Everyone in real life is unlikeable! These appear to be grown adult women writing this. Do they want the protagonists to all be perfect Pollyannas? It strikes me as immature.
