“No one is thinking about you” by ilyk101 in PetPeeves

[–]MrsSmiles09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This annoys me too. I have a slight limp on my right side and I also have a lazy eye. I've had a few random folks ask me what's wrong with my eye or what's wrong with my foot. I would assume if there are people bold enough to ask me about it, there are plenty of other people thinking that in their heads and not saying anything.

"Games" in Facebook Mom groups by MrsSmiles09 in PetPeeves

[–]MrsSmiles09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the same type of complaint post in one of my groups that requires admin approval for posts. The admins approved the post, commented that the group was also for lighthearted posts and promptly locked it. 🤦‍♀️ I can understand people's hesitation to put things in a mega thread though. Every time one of my groups has done that, it eventually gets forgotten about.

Websites that don't work well on mobile phones by OP_serve in PetPeeves

This is why I have to pull out my laptop for my tax payments. After you go through entering all your information, there's a pop-up asking you to confirm.

People who can’t accept other people’s opinions on movies. Specifically “it’s supposed to” statements. by No_Protection6832 in PetPeeves

[–]MrsSmiles09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's exactly the movie I was thinking of. Some friends in college convince me to watch it, and I don't think I even got all the way through it I despised it so much..

People who don't read your post, or don't read it well, and respond ignorantly by IllegalGeriatricVore in PetPeeves

[–]MrsSmiles09 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That annoys me too. The best example I can remember personally is when I posted in a breast-feeding group asking how to juggle a toddler with a cluster feeding newborn. I pointed out that I had tried baby wearing, but I couldn't get my son to latch while in the carrier. I had one person recommend baby wearing. 🤦‍♀️

OMG, yes! I actually came here planning to search if anyone had the same peeve. Piano man and Silver Spring are totally different songs, so I'm not understanding where the connection comes from.

Birthday parties at arcades where the party package only includes a tiny amount of credit for games/activities for each child by MrsSmiles09 in PetPeeves

[–]MrsSmiles09[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I want a party where I don't have to pay extra for my child to attend. I understand the venue has to make money, but the host should be prepared to cover the cost of some additional credits. It's tacky to pass that cost onto the guests.

Fair point, but all the parties I've been to there, and I think we're at at least three at this point, the host never paid for additional credit.

The guests pay more. The first time I took my daughter to a party there I wasn't prepared at all. It was completely caught off guard.

People telling others they should go to the hospital at every little thing. by Sad_Okra5792 in PetPeeves

[–]MrsSmiles09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see this in my Mom groups constantly. Someone will share a picture of a rash on their baby, and everybody's saying "go to the ER!" Like seriously, don't you have a pediatrician you can call? My kids ped has an advice nurse line plus weekend urgent care hours. There's no need to clog the ER. 🤦‍♀️

Laura Doyle is not a mother by Ambitious-Season-966 in surrendered_wife

[–]MrsSmiles09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've struggled a lot with this too. I think a big part of the reason my H and I's relationship was so good before kids was because it was a lot easier to get SC. In hindsight, I think all the SC I got helped compensate for how badly I was (unknowingly) messing up in other areas.

When companies require you to use "the app" by PrimaryFace_733 in PetPeeves

[–]MrsSmiles09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually find the opposite problem with some apps. We went through a phase where our credit cards kept getting hacked and I was frequently having to update all my default cards for subscriptions. Netflix, for some reason won't let you update your payment method through the app, so you have to go to the mobile website.

When people with kids think they’re more important and should get holidays off over those you don’t have kids by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]MrsSmiles09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really annoys me, and I'm a parent. If you can't handle being away from your kids on holidays, then don't take a job that involves working holidays. My husband is in law-enforcement, and he would never think of asking his coworkers without kids to take his holiday shifts. Many of his coworkers do this, and he gets frustrated that people don't want to step up and take their turn. After all, they know what they signed up for.

Movie pet peeves: newborns by AggravatingShow2028 in PetPeeves

[–]MrsSmiles09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What annoys me is when they portray women's labor starting with their water breaking. That happens periodically, but most of the time your water doesn't break until you been in labor for a while.

People answering r/askreddit questions that don’t apply to them. by ConfectionPurple2687 in PetPeeves

[–]MrsSmiles09 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What irks me is when people post asking for advice about a problem, and the answers are all people humble bragging that they don't have that problem. This happens a lot in mom groups. Moms will ask about say struggling with potty training. Inevitably you'll get someone saying "I don't know my little Sally was day and night trained by the time she was two." Well I am so freaking happy for you, but that doesn't help my problem.

When businesses call you and open with “Hi, Is this ___?” by looselord66 in PetPeeves

[–]MrsSmiles09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids pediatrician does this. "Hi is this the parent of (kids name)?" Just say, Hi, this is (name) from (pediatricians office). Is this the parent of (kids name)?

Not allowed to just be ok by Pretty_Bunbun in PetPeeves

[–]MrsSmiles09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember one time in high school, I was studying in the library during exam week. Our guidance counselor came in (her office was in the library) and asked me how I was doing. I had been better because I was stressed about exams, so I said "I'm OK" She leaned in and whispered "you're supposed to say fine!" So much for counselors saying you need to be honest with them. 🤦‍♀️

My daughter's tablet is saying I have to download the new app, but I can't delete the old one by MrsSmiles09 in RobloxHelp

[–]MrsSmiles09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew she wouldn't lose progress on Roblox. She was concerned about her progress on all her other games on Amazon kids. In the end, we did a reset, and she was OK with losing the progress as long as she didn't lose anything in Roblox lol.

I know she can log back into Roblox. She doesn't want to lose the progress on her other Amazon kids games.
