I know the damn difference between a 0 and an an O.

I'm guilty! I say "zero" because I often mishear people when they say "O". 😬

Kind of related. A person gave me their address as "twelve hundred two," and they meant 1202. I thought it was 12002. Just say 1 2 0 2!

Also, there's the phone number rhythm and the SSN rhythm. I have to ask for people's SSN sometimes and I don't understand why some people are like 0 (pause) 1 (pause) 5 (pause) 9 (pause) etc. Like I need 2 seconds to type in each number. Or they give me their phone number like 918 twenty one four two three thirty two.

He left to visit/take care of his mother for 2-3 weeks. He told me the box better be there when he gets back, because "he will take care of it".

Same chorus for NINE years.

The box “better” be there? Of eff that noise. I’d put that sh¡t in the attic/basement stat. He doesn’t get to make that threat after 9 years.

OMG, relatedly: This morning my DH, who was taking DC to school, kept walking back and forth through the house, clearly looking for something. He opened the front door like three times. I said "are you looking for something?" He said "yes, my sandals." I said "they are next to your side of the bed -- I saw them there when I was vacuuming yesterday." He goes to look. He comes back -- he can't find them. I go to look. They are sitting right where I said they would be.

What is wrong with men??? My kid does this too and when she does it, I know it's because she's not really looking. She's just not focusing on anything, and when I say "it's on your desk" or "it's on the hook by the door," she'll go to look but not really look because she wants me to find it. And when my DH does it, it feels pretty much the same, which is enraging.

I take them out and set them down in random places, or worse, put them in my pocket. There’s not enough Adderall in the world to fix this problem. So I’ve found some earbuds I love in every way except that the squishy part that goes in your ear keeps slipping off. If they’re dangling around my neck rather than in my ears, something will catch and pop one off. If they’re in my ears, it’ll pop off in my ear and I’ll think everything sounds weird for a few minutes until I dig it out. I’m so tired of earbud nonsense.

What about wired headphones?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don’t want anything to physically connect to my phone. I do have wireless headphones but I need to have one ear open at work, so I need earbuds. Askew headphones aren’t as good a look while I’m listening to podcasts while I do my job unfortunately.

I’m thinking about some AirPod pros. They seem to stay in DH’s ears and that man has some big ears. I think the new ones have a find my earbuds feature so maybe that’ll save me.

Can you just superglue the squishy part to the other part? That would annoy me, too.

Yes I know I don't "have" to take part (and I usually don't) but I hate that the pressure is still just hanging out there. I regret moving to the area after college. DH says its the same anywhere that has decent jobs. I don't know. Ex: I have a 10 year old minivan that literally has nothing wrong with it. But I can just feel my neighbors and parents of my kids' friends dripping with pity for me as they pull up in luxury SUV's that are never more than 3 years old. I somehow want them to know I can afford their car, I just think its a waste of money. Same with lululemon and remodeled kitchens. Yes, this is a personal problem.

Petty vent over.

Lol, we drive a 2004 Subaru as our second car and one of my favorite things to do is to use it as the carpool car when I take rich kids whose parents are like what you describe.

I am the one who lets them cut but I really don’t want to be a victim of these aholes! It’s not for the love of them it’s out of fear
