Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.

At least your boss can't see you crying at work when you're working from home!

Woo.

Goblin

The heat. The fucking heat.

Even if I wanted to leave the apartment it's now 110 degrees outside.

Sunny

I hate everything.

RightMeow

I went out to social. Yay. I saw a friend I haven't seen in a bit. Yay. We walked around outside. Yay. We tried new foods. Yay.... then the sunburn.

Socialize they said, it'll be fun they said. --- IT BURNS. Socialization burns.

surreality

This was so 'do I love this or hate it', but it definitely falls on the side of hate it in the end.

My father sends the 'Biden's great grancestor owned slaves!' meme. <insert urge to throttle the shit out of my father for about 300 reasons here>

This gives me the opportunity to note that children don't get control over the lives of their progenitors -- particularly those who died before they were ever born -- but I fully welcome him to engage with me about why they somehow should.

Like, dude, you're someone who had at least one uncle who fought for Mussolini in Africa. Pretty sure if you or I had a say in that in any way, that wouldn't be the case. (Never talk to my grandparents' generation about WWII; half were resistance, half were in Mussolini's army. Holy shit they lucked out that there wasn't a Thanksgiving dinner to have over there.)

TheOnceler

I'm just so goddam tired and so constantly on my last nerve and so probably a real delight to be around.

Rinel

I miss dancing so much but even when coronavirus ends I don't think I'm going to be welcome at the American Legion ballroom sessions anymore

GreenFlashlight

I picked up some chicken fingers from the grocery store deli. How do you make chicken fingers sour?

Testament

One of the cats peed in the clean laundry basket. Which we had found after we both had a shitty day at work.

I've just spent the last two hours going to PetSmart, spending $200(exactly, oddly)on a third litter box and various cleaning supplies. And I have spent the rest of the time soaking, spraying clothes and spot cleaning the area around said laundry basket.

All I wanted to do tonight was eat my tzatziki chicken and play Persona.

You may think that I am giving you mocking sympathy, but actually I am reminding you that violin strings are made from cat gut.

(Though, not really, because catgut is a misnomer caused by confusion of the word kitgut.)

There's some debate about that. Some sources claim it's an abbreviation of cattle gut.

I really want some merengue mushrooms (the kind with a little dab of chocolate to keep the cap attached to the stem.

Except for a) I don't want to put in the labor to make them and b) I can't have eggs anymore and try to stay away from a lot of sugar.

I'm not sure why I am craving them so bad or why its making me both sad and grumpy but it is what is.

JinShei

My delightful neighbours had a proper cat-fight domestic in their garden last night at midnight. I'm so tired I want to kill people. Mostly them. I also don't want to know half the details and not the preceding event. Is it rude to knock on their door and say "Look, I know that one of the women said something but WHAT WAS IT?"

TurtleStraw

Getting a hair cut just before lockdown so by the time it's uncontrollable any damage could do myself wouldn't recover by the time I get it cut professionally.

All local news channels should investigate such disturbances so that those forced to listen to them can at least understand the context.

JinShei

@Tinuviel Yes! I mean, there was one point where a crash suggests someone flipped a table!

And this is the BBC JinShei Service. Police action was undertaken today at the house just up the road. That bint that puts her bins out on the wrong day and her useless husband entered into a verbal dispute on the subject of unpurchased milk. The bint elected to mention three other times her useless husband was unable to complete a single task, at which point the husband flipped the large table, sending three plates crashing to the floor. These plates, it was later revealed, were a wedding gift from the bint's late mother and their destruction is, quote, "just more proof that he doesn't really care."

More on this story as it develops.

@Tinuviel I literally could do this!

Coming to you now from Estate Road 2, where three families have converged on the side of the street to have a barbeque and let their children play on a bouncy castle, despite the perils of COVID-19. Today, on the JinShei Show, we ask, do people really dislike their kids and friends this much? Should we just let them all catch this and die?

I mean, this absolutely horrible to admit and, like, probably the 837th reason I'm going to hell....

But every now and then, I look at someone doing something really, really obviously stupid that they have publicly, loudly, repeatedly been warned against re: COVID and I think to myself, "....Maybe this one is actually doing us all a favor and we just don't realize it yet."

Then I remember everyone else they're putting at risk and get pissed off again.
