Not just today but whenever it happens....my coworker buys lunch for my boss but the rest of us aren't included (2 or 3 depending on who's here at the time). We're not even a consideration.
In fact, once my boss was surprised the coworker hadn't brought us food back too.0 -

‘Round here that would be an ethics violation. 🤷🏼♂️2 -

That the tiniest handful ( 40gms) of cashews, almonds and walnuts has 253 calories

On the other hand, when I don’t want to eat anything else, but I’m 500 calories below goal? Nuts are the best!
Ya. It probably irks some people that not eating enough is an actual problem sometimes. 🤓
But here I am. Rocking it.3 -

Yeah, thats why I was eating them because I'm not eating enough right now but geeez 40gm is so tiny. ☹3 -
Thanks for the irk free day, Ms. @reeniehj! This was saved for tomorrow which is now today.
Paper wasps...
Yellow jackets lit me up a couple days ago. Mostly my back and obliques. No biggie. I'll take them any day over paper wasps.
Yesterday afternoon was paper wasps while I was in the pool. They were building a nest under the diving board between the spring leaves and I didn't know. I was under the board holding onto the end of it and springing it a little. They lit me up. Their stings are like stepping on hot embers. (I do that a lot grilling barefoot)
Left arm is swollen, hurts from the shoulder to the wrist, and is starting to itch like an MF'er.8 -

Wow, (any kind)wasps and yellow jackets are the worst.
I hope you feel better soon! Benadryl or ice or anything to hurry away the hurt/itch?
I'm not sure why I have this inborn fear of stinging insects, except bumblebees(which is silly because I know they have stingers as well but they're so fuzzy and cute). Maybe it's because I used to see my mom doing the dodge dance when she'd hang out the laundry. Other day I was trying to refill the hummingbird feeder and had to wait until the hornets took a break from it.

Large retail companies that will take your online order, process your payment, and then tell you a week later that they are cancelling your order due to "supply issues".
If you do not have an item in stock, then remove it from your website, or state clearly that it is out of stock. Stop wasting my time.6 -
People who actually believe and trust the media, who jump on the bandwagon, people who are easily fooled. Our society has many fools in it.6

These dang hiccups!
I get them multiple times a day, thankfully they only last a minute or so but crud, I get tired of getting them.

I'm still irked that my back is still messed up and I don't know why. The only thing that mildly helps is to hang out in a corset all day (a corset I had fitted for me a few years ago, so it's at least properly fitted). It keeps my back straight so I can't slouch, which feels better, but I also am pretty restricted in how I move.
Not exactly the greatest option when I'm in the process of moving and unpacking a bunch of boxes. 7 -
When the kitchen is clean and husband decides he wants to cook at 9:00 at night. Seriously, grab a snack or anything that doesn't require dishes! I was looking forward to waking up to a clean kitchen.5

^ can relate. Cleaning up everything I mussed up now. 4

My pig backpack has two left ears. I thought one was a little crooked but upon further thought, it’s the wrong ear entirely. I’ll just let it irk me forever though because I’m not returning it. It’s a very small irk.5

Tourists. Too kitten many kitten tourists.4

Yes.
All these beautiful places out in nature I want to visit and everybody else from the whole northeastern part of the country is there. Clogging up the parking lots and hiking trails, and favorite ice cream spots. Yes, the Old Man fell off the face of the mountain and if you pull off the road, you'll be able to see where it's not. Instead of crawling along at 20 mph.4 -
When people scratch off lottery tickets while still at the cash register so they can decide if they're going to cash them in then or buy new ones.4

Hard same, but the other side of the continent.
My town is an old Victorian seaport.
When I moved here half the stores on the main street were boarded up. Real estate was practically being given away. That was almost 40 years ago.
The Big Important People (my brother-in-law included) decided tourism was the answer. And they made an absolute killing.
Now the town I loved, with its “shed boys” and lovely everyone-knows-everyone character is gone. Replaced by Star Bellied Sneetches who look down their noses at anyone who doesn’t love the fact that you can buy $80/ounce hand made truffle flavored olive oil where the boarded up second hand store used to be.
Oh. And there’s no parking left. RVs clog the roads. And you get told you’re not supporting the local economy if you buy a package of Haines socks for $12 at the Walmart the next county over, instead of buying the only type of socks available in town - $20 for one pair of high quality hiking socks at the CoOp.
Kitten tourists. They can go vacation in kitten.
Oh. Ya. Also? If I see one more magazine story about how great it is to retire here? I’m going to kitten scream.

My unkempt office. I was working outside and the sprinkling rain turned into a pretty heavy one.
My office is a pig sty.2 -

My mom complaining that I don’t keep her clued in to my life when I literally text her first EVERY time and trying to get her to have a conversation with me is like pulling teeth. Like, what are you even talking about? And clued in to my life? She asked about my work schedule.... 🤷🏻♀️
I say all the time as a big joke of my life that I can’t even get a text back from my mom because half of the time, it’s true.
On a sad note she said one of my childhood/young adult life cats is dying. Vampire cat Shadow. Yes, he’s black and has a white spot on his chest. Long in the tooth and big on the sass. He’d talk back at us with that chatter they usually exhibit with birds. The gf said a phrase last night that made me laugh, “Evil, but with a heart of gold.” And that’s how I like to think of Shadow. Sassy, will bite you but also will lay his head on your shoulder.
He’s 13 1/2 years old according to mom. I got to see it all happen, him and his siblings be born. Litter of 5, all boys. Three black, two orange. After he passes we’ll just have the orange boys.8 -
Family drama. I am disconnected from it because I live so far away, but somehow, I get to hear about it anyway. I'd rather stay away from it all together because a.) not into drama and b.) one of the parties is my mother... and the other party is my cousin, who I was quite close to growing up (he was raised by my grandmother because his dad was a bit of a prat and more interested in drugs and alcohol at the time).
I don't want to be involved in it.. and I certainly don't like it happening around my grandmother, who has dementia and can't remember a lot anymore and really needs these people to come together and keep taking care of her (her dementia is bad enough that she needs someone to live in with her, which my uncle does). I refuse to take sides in this issue since I'm an outside party.

I am so sorry. Unfortunately a dementia diagnosis can do that to a family.
Honestly? Trying to stay out of it is probably your best move.
Doesn’t make it easier, though. 💐3 -

I just really want to know why this side of my family is so hyper focused on money. If it isn't someone needing money and trying to get it from relatives who they feel *ought* to support them and loan them money, then it's people accusing others of mishandling money (when left in charge of someone's money when that person can't do it for themselves anymore) or having random relatives I've NEVER SEEN show up at the funerals of people and accuse them of the most AWFUL things.. and then try to sue other family members for money they feel they are owed!
My dad's side of the family isn't like this.. that's all I'm sayin'. 5 -

And, without going into too many details, this is why I’ve had to cut out one of my husband’s brothers, my stepson, and pretty much all his cousins.
Pretty much none of them understand that I’m his wife, and as such, anything I do with our community property is absolutely none of their business. And doubly so when I’ve kept him alive a decade longer than he was expected to live. And he’s likely got another decade to go. At least. Because of my care.
So if I buy myself a second hand iPhone? It’s none of their kitten business.
So ya. Relatives irk me too.6
