B!TC# IT OUT!

You're assuming this generation can read, navigate the Internet, and have an attention span longer than a dog.

Annoyance #1: Lack of money is the root of alllll evil. I hate being a grownup sometimes.

Annoyance #2: People here can't be bothered to befriend new people. Being almost 29 and an undergrad means you're surrounded by 20 year olds who live 2 minutes from each other at school, so they aren't really your peers. I've lived in Akron, OH for almost 2 years, and I can now say, outside of my husband, that I have maaayyyybe one friend. But he's a probably schizophrenic who thinks he sees demons and swears he's met Satan. So there's that

[SeaGlass Siren]

Haha I have very few friends as well but that's because I'm picky about my friends

You're assuming this generation can read, navigate the Internet, and have an attention span longer than a dog.

You're assuming it's only this generation that's the problem (and really, I don't think anyone can say kids can't navigate the internet. By the time they're 15 they know pretty much all there is to know about the internet).
To be honest most people I see who are illiterate etc are 40+. On my Facebook feed, the only poeple who talk lik this r poeple's aunties and unkles. Grandparents don't generally do it, if they're 60+. Seems to be those generations in the middle (e.g baby boomers) who maybe didn't get a great education? Though I don't know if that's different in the US.

Melaina, it's true. It's a mixture between pre teens and adults. I see on Raven's page constantly adult moms trying to get tails for less than $3k for a short 11 year old.

I am getting more and more annoyed with people who come here and ask obvious questions, rather than taking five minutes to read up and find the answers themselves.

I use to answer everyone, even if they did this. Now I just link them to the tail making references and tell them to read through the material before they post again. Feel free to do the same. There's info everywhere on this site, but people have to actually read through it to learn. And apparently that does not compute with a lot of people somehow X_x

I hate when I'm working in the fitting rooms, and people get pissy because they and their friends have to be in separate stalls. One time, a mother who was in her forties came in with her pre-teen daughter and got mad at me because I told themthey couldn't be in the same fitting room. She said, in a bratty valley-girl teen voice, "What-everrrrr!" as she was walking away from me. (This came after she gave me her meanest glare possible.) I leaned around the corner and said, "Thank you for your cooperation!" and she just scoffed at me. When she and her daughter came back out she just glared at me and refused to say anything. I also hate when people get offended because they can't wear their soon-to-be purchase to the register. That may work in shoe stores, but it's different in a clothing store. I'm sorry that I'm inconveniencing you so I can prevent our stuff from being stolen (and keep my job).

[Azurin Luna]

I hate it when people are trying to get in the train when people are still getting out. I once had to protect a grandma from being overrun by a few students because they couldn't wait a few seconds longer.

[MerMar]

Indeed! and when you're walking on street, they come towards you and pretend to not see you're there. What people think I suppose to do? Jump over their heads? disappear?

[Azurin Luna]

I always say to them that I'm not a ghost, so you can see were I'm walking and not try to walk through me

[Mermaid Stark]

I hate it when you have the best dream of your life and then your mom wakes you up from it.

Kakarotte: Annoyance #1 reminded me of this!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPi2s1K_pgU

[Mermaid Varshana]

BAHAHAHA!!!! I love that video. There are lots of things you can do as an adult that you couldn't before - like save up an spend $1200 on a mermaid tail without getting bitched out by your parents, who you don't live with anymore and only speak with when you want to. Buuutttt...when you get your third "civil liability" ticket because your license plate got scanned while you were going 30 in another unmarked school zone, and then the battery in your husbands car dies...yeah, I hate being a grown up.

[Mermaid Varshana]

Another annoyance...Does anyone have one or more of those friends that stay in a rut and don't seem to progress in life while everyone else is chugging right along? I have two of those right now. I just found out one of them, who's still living at home at 29, is still mooning over this really boring, racist, homophobic guy who she was in love with for about 13-15 years and used her for casual sex. I don't understand why grown adults can't learn.

[SeaGlass Siren]

^ I'm soon to be married and till live with my pan rents and they don't want me to leave them :| even though they constantly gripe about how they want me to go wtf. Cannot make their minds??

[AniaR]

cankor sores. Screw them! I get loads of them as a result of my illness. Not to be confused with cold sores. I have had 12 in my mouth at once and because it's part of an illness, the usual ways of treating them does nothing. I've had to get my mouth frozen before to get some relief. They last for weeks and when the old ones heal, new ones grow. Hate it soooo much. I have 4 right now

[Mermaid Varshana]

I feel ya. I get them all the time...I think I inherited it from my mom. It can make being intimate with your special someone difficult, too I hope you feel better soon.

Ouch Raina

Ok I know that this is kinda my fault but the first photographer that I did a photoshoot with and they planned an event for me. I told them two months in advance I was going to Alabama and they drop the event date on me. I told them I couldnt come to it and they replaced me. I know I told them I couldn't do it but it still hurts

[Mer_Adella]

And for the fact that he said I was the only one they would work with in my hometown area. Apparently that wasn't truthful
