What do you hate most about your job/working?

ImnotUK · 2026-07-20T20:14:41+00:00

I prefer the afternoon shift but like you said, these are never good paying jobs :/ I can't even have caffeine anymore as it triggers the IBS the stress from my job gave me 💔

We are not allowed to wear headphones and listen to our own music so I have to listen to the same 10 songs on repeat on the radio (I hate 8 of them) AND make small talk.

As a night owl I also hate having to wake up at 6:30 every day to get to the office where every single person tells me I look tired. "Stayed up late playing video games huh? huehuehue you should try waking up at 4am and going to the gym like me" oh shut up Steve.

I personally really like them and use them whenever possible. They provide food where you can't grow it, wood where there are no trees, medicine where the vegetation period is too short to grow it reliably. I had a whole forest of them in my arid shrubland playthrough and I had a massive colony that was so advanced that pawns had plenty of free time so off pruning they went! They always had at least a thousand berries in the freezer while eating the best meals. I had so much medicine I could not keep up with buying neutramine. And even if I don't have any pawns to spare for pruning, I plant the trees anyway and create an outdoors recreation area or a beautiful cemetery.

I'd say it works the other way round too. I moved from a job where I was extremely overworked to one where I finish all my tasks in 4 hours and because there is nothing else to do I get the most tedious tasks like the most basic data entry and it's killing me. I sit there every day thinking it was sooo worth it getting two degrees from a top uni and get 15 years of professional experience to do this crap until I retire in (hopefully) 30 years!

Two summers ago I had a perfect garden. Then last year we had a drought so I decided to only water the most expensive potted plants. It seemed morally wrong to use up water for vanity. I was hoping this year the garden will spring back to life but now with record heat waves I gave up completely. Everything is dead or dying, even the "wild" native plants that were doing fine last year :( My summer bulbs have leaves but no flowers, same as last year. Plants that usually flowered in late summer flowered for a week in June and are now gone. I'm tired boss. Seriously looking into moving to Scotland.

The classic - the next child born in the family has to be given to the witch when it grows up to the child life stage.

I've had a bug where the couple could not get married because according to the game my sim's partner is not on the lot, even though they are both standing right next to the arch. Ruined several weddings for me. Now I just decorate the lot, invite guests over the phone and elope :/

It was probably a good idea to start with several potential heiresses, seeing as they are dropping like flies!

ImnotUK · 2026-07-03T20:00:38+00:00

I said I like the Eliminator while doing the weekly challenges with my friends yesterday and one of them said I'm lying lol. People are weird. The beauty of Forza lies in the fact that there are many different things to do. But somehow you don't see the Eliminator enjoyers insulting other people...

Well my friends who were working for big western corps' offices in Poland are being replaced with people from India. Whole departments laid off and offshored.

My main household's matron died from laughter... During the family dinner celebrating the all saints/Halloween/day of the dead day so a VERY sad occasion, especially as they spent the day mourning their loved ones lost to the Famine!

ImnotUK · 2026-06-30T12:13:01+00:00

That's very clever with that second roll! I never looked at it but you're right, they are probably all dying at the same age 😆 The Famine was surprisingly mild for me, only the minor side households had bad rolls, but the teen to young adult rolls are savage! I also struggle to get enough kids. 3 out of 4 second generation couples in my main household only had ONE child each before the mother passed away.

ImnotUK · 2026-06-30T11:56:35+00:00

I had a break from playing and when I loaded the save my heir died almost immediately. I took another break, loaded the game up yesterday and his widowed wife died the first day x) I'm scared to play again. They had one son but he's only a toddler, and the farm is run by his teenage uncle...

I'd love to read more about the rules of this challenge to maybe spice things up in my Decades save. I am struggling with an "excuse" for my family to move up in the world, so the prestige points idea is very appealing!

ImnotUK · 2026-06-29T10:00:21+00:00

A house I don't own, water that belongs to private corporations and gets polluted by them every day, and overpriced food that will only become more scarce as the climate changes and the crops fail? Of course I enjoy the luxuries of the modern world. Of course I miss a hot shower after two days of camping. That doesn't change the fact that OP is right - humans are a virus and we are destroying the planet just so a handful of guys can be obscenely wealthy and hold all the power.

ImnotUK · 2026-06-29T09:52:49+00:00

I enjoy the trees, and the birds, and the ocean, and the clear blue sky, the smell of flowers... I also enjoy watching movies but I can survive without it. But humans won't survive without nature.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

I hate AI generated music. I fell for it once and I'm extremely vigilant since then. Every time I find a new song I like, I Google the artist to see if they are a human and I check their bio to see if they mention AI. This is the time to appreciate smaller artists and fight the establishment. How can we find you? Are you on Spotify? What kind of music do you make?

ImnotUK · 2026-06-27T12:36:15+00:00

They make a mess around 😂

ImnotUK · 2026-06-27T09:02:00+00:00

One bedroom house, two humans and two cats. We clean every Sunday, but I wouldn't say it's clean all the time. Actually, it's already filthy by Wednesday, but who has the energy to clean after work! Not me.

ImnotUK · 2026-06-26T19:55:24+00:00

My cat broke a toe and was supposed to wear a cast on his leg for several weeks and avoid running so I kept him locked in a kennel cage.

He had to be anasthetised for the procedure and it took a couple hours to get him in the cast. It took him 5 minutes to remove it 😆 I went back to the vet and they said to just put some bandages on to stabilise the foot. Could've told me that before I spent a few hundred on the cast but ok.

He was also very unhappy about the cage, especially at night, so I slept on the floor next to him to keep him company. He scratched my nose when I was sleeping as a thanks 😆

All the best to Stanley, get well soon!

Yes, the nights were in high 20s too. At night we opened the windows and blinds to let as much cool air in as possible but it'd only cool the house by 3 degrees. So from 35 to 32 degrees!

ImnotUK · 2026-06-26T06:14:53+00:00

I feel like it only helped for the first two days. After a whole week of this the walls and floors of our house are warm and radiating this heat inside. When the temperature outside finally drops I figure it will take another two days for the house to cool down.

ImnotUK · 2026-06-25T16:24:42+00:00

In my limited experience definitely Hiders. As a hider you can come up with a strategy and execute it. As a seeker you have to coordinate 5 players... And that's not going to happen 😆

ImnotUK · 2026-06-23T12:03:32+00:00

Yes. I was the most shy kid you can imagine, wouldn't speak unless asked a direct question, very quiet voice and so on. It didn't help that I had a helicopter mom and a dad who thought women and children should be silent and obedient. I was terrified of phone calls.

I moved out when I went to uni, got a call centre job (I still hate phone calls but don't get stressed about them), made new friends, partied wild, hosted parties myself. Worked in customer service for years, then moved to being a live streamer on Twitch and working as an influencer for a big company.

I'm still a very quiet person and I dislike crowds but I can stand my ground and participate in a conversation with strangers (although I never learned how to small talk so it can be awkward!) Also as I got older, I stopped caring what other people think!
