Air out your pet peeves here :)

When God was handing out the gene for hair, I must have been distracted (no doubt talking)..... Top of my head is well endowed but otherwise.... I shave every Sunday morning for church but my wife laughs at me. I have a tiny bit of hair on my arms and legs but it's blond and doesn't show.

Now that I'm a dad, with a little one.... I'm SUPER sensitive to my son perhaps disturbing people. Right now, the few times we've taken him out, he's just slept the whole time... but I KNOW the day is coming.

I've given parents a break even before.... but I hope people will give me a break. Sometimes children are just... well.... children. I don't like him disturbing me at 3:00 AM but ... well.... it's not his fault. Or mine. What is, is. Sometimes.

And I KNOW I have a bunch of (irrational) hang ups (most related to neatness and cleanliness, and I'm uber-organized). But I TRY to remember they ARE my irrational hang-ups. A lot of this is cultural and personal. I'm trying to teach myself to be more accepting.... I've had that issue at work. My job involves a lot of supervision and management, and I work with a bunch of guys who... well.... let's say the environment is EXTREMELY informal. I HAVE to tell myself.... if there's good work happening, it's all good. And yeah, at the company, we have just about every nationality there is (we Americans are a minority); it DOES remind you that cultures differ in a lot of ways.

people that are rude to others because of things like politics. Just because you dont like Trump doesnt mean you can be horrible to those that do. I had to unfriend people on Facebook because of this crap.

Being pursued @ work by customers (or other staff) when I've made it clear I'm not interested.

Both sexes are equally bad in some ways. Usually men get the point as they respond to directness. Usually. (Some) women I've encountered are definitely deluded either in thinking they're desirable just because they're not overweight and have a vagina, or they think that if they keep workin on ya you'll cave in a moment of weakness and copulate with them. As if.

Since I'm heterosexual and would only be interested in a relationship with a woman, I'm irked at certain behaviors. Maybe I shouldn't complain, but be grateful to head off potential problems in the future. Behaviors including entitlement, jokes about giving up part of my wage, indications I'm not up to par and/or am a project to be improved (usually for her vanity and narcissism). Garbage. Go away. You want someone who will be kind to you with integrity and honesty but also someone super ambitious you can boast about to your friends? Good luck, those combinations are rare.

Daylight Savings Time. Enough said.

People who judge other people constantly.

I am still struggling with neighbor problems. Wrote them a letter and talked to her about things but I don't think it did much good. I sent her a tin of candy to share with her grandkids. She didn't even acknowledge it. Oh well, I tried. I may end up moving. I am going to get the list of the housing places where I can apply.

Definitely try to move, Ruth! This has gone on so long with those neighbors and you've done the best you can to extend the olive branch!

I want to move. I am really out of shape for a move. I need to start working out at home to youtube. I've had enough of this problem. I may ask the manager if she has another apartment here. There are 5 buildings here.

If you can get into a new apartment in the same building then you can do it slowly maybe? If I were close I would help!

I can't carry my couch or tv or any of that stuff. I don't want to be in the same building anymore either. I will need movers anyways to carry most of my stuff.

Sorry for burdening you.
