People who tell you to do something while you're doing it just to feel like you're doing something cause they told you to.

Some times my dad can't simply tell me it's time to eat or whathaveyou. NO SOMETIMES he gets the idea to fucking say it 6 literal different goddamn ways one after another and hound me about it to the fucking point that eating is the last fucking thing I feel like doing even if I was hungry.

The entire battle of Christmas vs. Holiday.

I'm probably going to get reamed on Facebook for this, but I don't care:
Me on Facebook wrote:Hanukkah begins at sunset on Tuesday, December 20, 2011, and ends at sunset on Wednesday, December 28, 2011. Kwanzaa begins Monday, December 26, 2011, and ends Sunday, January 1, 2012. Christmas is right in the middle of what is, very literally, a HOLIDAY season.

I don't care if you want to say Merry Christmas instead of "Happy Holidays". Maybe someone you meet who's Jewish will greet your Merry Christmas with a Happy Hanukkah. Please just realize that this IS a gifted season for more than one religion. So go ahead and put the Christ in Christmas. It's a season of joy, merriment, and loving what we have. You don't have to love a religion to love the people who celebrate it. So Love. It's what Jesus taught us to do.

Cheers girl.

I don't get the whole Christmas fuss issue. Wouldn't it be better to embrace all the holidays rather than try to generalize and mash them together?

Pet Peeve: When you tell someone you're starting to freak out about something and their reply is "Oh, stop it."

...If I could stop, it wouldn't be a disorder. If I could stop, I wouldn't be on disability. If it was as easy as turning on a light switch, THERE WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.

A little background first. I've been taking care of my grandparents about half my life (From 11-25, and then from 33 to now). When I moved out I'd constantly hear "You need to move back in with Pawpaw and take care of him" when they live less then a mile from him and I was in California!.

Now my sister has been bugging me about finding work. I'd LOVE to have a job,I'd love to have my own fucking money, hell I'd love to be able to GET OUT OF THE FUCKING HOUSE for something besides bills and groceries!! But SOMEONE has to help my 62 yr old diabetic and disabled mother take care of my 94yr old grandfather, and the only time my SHE comes by is to ask if we can watch her kids, or pick them up from school! And people wonder why I dislike most of my family. X( X(

Parents have started the annoying habit of telling me to do something when I've already started doing it or in the middle of it. Then later complaining I have to be told to do something.

At what point in my life did it become socially acceptable to wear your bloody pyjamas and fuzzy slippers out in public? /:) Seriously you can't take the time to put on pants and shoes?
