Who are you annoyed at?
My sister: We agreed awhile ago to get my Dad a safe for his birthday (April 22). Today she text me that we should hold off until Christmas so we can get a black Friday deal (good quality/cheaper price). Well, cool... now I need to get Daddy-o a gift and he's horribly difficult to shop for. Jerk.
H's cousin: She wrote on FB about a week ago:
" Good luck to all those who are taking their chances with cancer in pursuit of that "perfect tan". yay for being ok with the color your skin is naturally! " and today she posted a photo of her smoking (I didn't know she smoked, but I'm not surprised). It just annoys me that she made a point about 'taking chances with cancer' and yet she's smoking.

Re: Who are you annoyed at?
A crazy mombie in our family who always inserts her kids "wish lists" in her evite for their bday party. This year its... We are surprising the kids with a Disney trip so Disney gift cards would be a great gift for them this year!
Seriously, its bad enough you expect us CF people to all come and spend 8 torturous hours at your kids bday (and make rude comments if we dare leave early because we are tired of the noise) but now you presume we are all buying gifts and want to dictate what they are???? Um, thank God I'm going oot.
WTF. RUDE.
Last night I watched home movies at my parent's and we watched my 2nd birthday party. I miss the simplicity of life back then - parties for a 2 year old were not over the top, and the only real decoration was a party hat (okay, maybe some balloons or themed paper plates). And gifts were not ridiculously expensive or complicated.
I totally agree. I remember the cheap crepe paper streamers and maybe like a dollar Happy Birthday sign. It was usually like sloppy joes, cake and ice cream served on cheapo paper plates. Now its all overpriced Spiderman this or Tangled that and the decorations are like $100! And my mom would have never DARED to suggest what gift someone should buy in an invitation.
And seriously this mombie will usually not feed us until like 3 hours into the party then drag out cake, then presents so we stay all day. I want lunch, cake, presents all completed within the first 2 hours max!!! lol
I am annoyed with my place of employment
They are doing a change where you get more interaction with your direct supervisor, I call it attached supervising.
I loved my job when I could come in, do my job and go home, get my paycheck every 2 weeks and things were awesome, not I just feel like I am being smothered and constantly watched and judged.
I am so glad it is Friday!
While some achievements make mombies proud, they should know that no one else cares
This.
I have some of those people on FB. Or they complain All. The. Time. about their kids then still have another and complain twice as much. I'm not anti-baby, but man that sounds like a dreary life if all you focus on is complaining.
I would seriously have to quit. I would have high anxiety and not be able to function well. NOT COOL

I don't know if this is flameful or not but I'll go ahead with it. My nephew died 3 years ago due to a fatal birth defect. I won't say it's name because it's heart wrenching, etc. Anyways she insists celebrating his birthday every year with balloons and cupcakes, etc.
Okay I know you said 'fatal birth defect' but did he die at birth/the day he was born or did he fight for awhile? (Not that it matters)
Anyway - I understand it's the mother's way of coping/etc. but I would not want to do it.
He died an hour and 10 minutes after being born.
The woman DH and I are trying to buy a house from. She patched and painted over rotten wood in the siding. When we found it anyway at inspection and asked her to fix it, she refused. We are backing out of the deal and hate that we've wasted so much time on this stupid thing.
ETA: And the guy who rear-ended me Wednesday morning. My neck hurts.

That totally sucks. You should go to the doctor to get your neck checked out - you probably have whiplash. Do you live in a state where your auto insurance covers medical expenses or does the other person's auto policy cover it? Also did you follow a claim? Sorry I am in the ins field.
A former classmate who is preggers. (I hate saying this because I am totally happy for her.) Every day she posts millions of things about her pregnancy and talks about her bump like it is a two year old kid.
She has eight pictures posted of her hubby kissing her belly. (there may be more but I did not count I am just assuming there are many because I have seen four just from a recent trip.)
I am happy for her but this is getting a little out of control.
