- Sending calendar invitations for events and meetings 2 months in advance only to find that people don’t look at their calendars until the day before. At which point, I get responses like, “You know what… can we move this to a different time? I leave work at 4 everyday.” Or “I really can’t make that time because I work from home on Wednesdays”. That annoys the shit out of me because if you are consistently unavailable at certain times than why on earth would you not mention that 4 weeks ago when you received the invitation?
- When people come up behind you and say NOTHING until you turn around. Then apologize for scaring you. #GreatThanks
- Being treated like I am incapable of staying out late, going out for a drink, or carrying an adult conversation that doesn’t bring up my kid because I am a mother.
- Being sent multiple texts by someone in rapid succession and then getting ZERO response when you text them back within a few seconds.
- When my husband primes the hell out of me for sex ALL DAY and then when I’ve finally put the kid to bed and am ready to get down to business… NOTHING happens.
- When people are disappointed because my reaction is not BIG enough for them. I’m not quite sad enough or I’m not quite happy enough or I didn’t ask enough questions blah blah blah. #
- When I have to have the same conversation twice or more because people don’t say what they feel the first time around.
- Making plans with more than one other person. Dealing with people’s schedules is the pits.
- Walking behind tourists in New York City. There should be a NYC guide to etiquette for tourists.
- When somebody’s car alarm goes off on the street and no one makes a move to stop it but EVERYONE comes out of the house to throw their hands up in annoyance and wonder why no one is turning the alarm off. Same goes for incessantly honking cars.
- Work politics.
- Trump.
