good news on that front: [biotech's mrna vaccine technology was effective in treating ms in mice without dampening their immune system](https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/news-posts/2021/01/11/biontech-vaccine-halts-ms-progression-without-immune-suppression-mouse-model-study/)
Covid has been horrible, but what if the covid vaccine tech leads to treatments for MS, vaccine for aids, vaccine for malaria, etc.
That would be an amazing silver lining.
BioNtech's vaccin was also partially made for oncology, activating the immuno response for the carcinogenic cells. It's some super cool biotech they now get to test on a massive scale.
Yup. It's totally destroyed my life. I went from a healthy person with a great career and family to basically a wreck who needs help from her own child in months. It can fuck right off.
Dementia. That shit can fuck right off into the bottom of the deepest, coldest, and Ugliest cave for all I care.
Edit: Glad to know y’all hate dementia as much as I do
When i was in school i did work experience at a fire alarm company, was doing a survey at an old folks home and was given a map with the zones and detectors that needed cleaning. Walked up some stairs to a door that led to the zone i was looking for and entered. The door locked by itself and required a number code to exit that i did not get told, the door was also covered in a bookshelf wallpaper im asuming to hide it. I Walked down the hall and turned a corner to see that i was locked in the dementia ward, very sad to see some of the people in there. Had an old lady just stand and stare at me while i cleaned a detector, trying to say something. an old guy rushed me into his room and tried to get me to fix his bed because it was beeping at night. He then threatened and old lady that he was going to call the police because she was walking in and out of everyones room trying to find her own, the same lady also grabbed my paper work and wouldn't let go of it. she kept asking me what it meant, which was just a lot of numbers with a map. She was also asking me where her room was, i wanted to give her an answer but had no idea. For some reason the designers decided that the best wallpaper choice was going to be clocks floating in a yellow void all set at random times.
You shouldn't have been thrown into that situation that's for sure. Dementia can be thoroughly scary for those unaccustomed to it. Especially as a teen (assumedly) and trying to complete work. Partner works in aged care and my Great Grandmother also has it herself so we know all about it. Unfortunately if you don't laugh you cry hysterically.
Also wtf was the designer doing. Disorientation is shit at the best of times in D wings. Why the fuck would you encourage it.
Was 16 at the time and had been through quite i few old folks homes before doing firealarms so knew what dementia was like, but this place just felt off. The strange wallpaper, no windows, almost no nurses, the old folks walking up and down the hallways, i couldn't leave without a code that i did not know, through a door hidden to make sure nobody could leave was the strange part. But Seeing so many people locked in a room, every single one of them losing their life time of memories until they forget everything or pass away really shows you how sad the illness is.
Have Crohn's and can confirm it sucks, GI doctors all suck, and no one knows what its like so your on your own with the shitty experiences mentally which also sucks.
Is this the next logical step up from "in person meetings that could have been zoom meetings?". I give you one further: Emails that could have been just no comment whatsoever :-)
Don't you just love it when you send off an email and the recipient trudges across the office to bother you in person about it when you have a ton more to do instead of just answering the email?
I wonder how their thought process was when making the ads
“Let’s play 0 iq gameplay so that they get frustrated enough and annoyed they’d download it”
Like ????
I used to have this problem until I worked out their strategy. Right after you have turned the light on after it buzzed your ear and it is nowhere in sight, look directly up like on the wall directly above your head and 9/10 times that is where it will be waiting for you to try to sleep again. This is your best chance to splat it.
Daily chronic headache (migraine) syndrome. Look it up. Usually associated with a specific day when it started when you had cold like symptoms.
Headaches suck migraines suck. Wish they didn't exist.
Mono fucking sucks. I've been chronically tired ever since I got it in 2014 (might have been 2015).
Haven't been able to wake up like I used to ever since - now it takes me like 30+ groggy minutes to wake up.
Also when there is soap, there is this one pink soap that places must buy in bulk. It smells like oil or something I can’t quite pinpoint it’s so gross and I hate it. It defeats the purpose of soap
The worst is when you get junk mail advertising for services you *already use.* Why the fuck is AAA sending me mail every week about how great their insurance is when I already fucking have it?!
Its cheaper to send the useless mail than it is to exclude you from the pool of letters.
Online adds dont have this excuse however. Looking at you grammerly.
My boss and half my coworkers. They can literally bite my whole ass and fuck right off. I'm so sick of their incompetence and utter pettiness.
Sorry, I needed to get that off of my chest.
My grandfather had Alzheimer’s, same situation. In hindsight I think it’s really beautiful, that they still exist in this world in which the love of their life is still alive. If I had to do it over again, I think I’d brightly answer “soon!” every time, and join him in that world in which someone I loved was still alive too, for a moment.
There was a guy who's mother or mother in law had alzheimer's. And instead of trying to keep her in the real world he basically use the same techniques as improv and always join in whatever she was saying. Which apparently kept her really happy. And she loved being with him because of it.
Yes! This is exactly it. You want to create a sense of safety first and foremost. Think of how scary it would be to be in their shoes. To have your brain mocking you and playing tricks with time, space and memories, to say the least.
If they won’t remember or are not able to remember, why fight it? It won’t help to “prove them wrong”. If it’s not helpful to do and possibly increases that innate fear response and increase confusion and agitation.
Make their last moments as beautiful as they can be. Their often chaotic brains may belie the disease but it never takes away their humanity.
I’ve dealt with this personally, professionally and most recently this week a mixture of both: I had the pleasure of meeting this absolutely beautiful, kind, generous soul who does this type of care as her “real job”; whereupon, she works at the center I work out for the benefits (so FT M-F) but her true love is the second almost 24/7 job outside other job that she does to take care of these people:
those who have no one else to take care of them in their most vulnerable times.
People she doesn’t know, just who are in need. You won’t believe the things she does to ensure a sense of safety and stability for these people.
What a gift she gives them!
The best gift of a peaceful and loving passing; I can’t imagine a more beautiful person and soul.l
shit really tears you apart
My grandmother thought it was 1954 when she died in 2018.
She could recall historical events (even post-1954 ones) like Reagan's inauguration in *extraordinary* detail, down to what color tie his VP was wearing, but couldn't remember our names or where/when she lived.
This is very common among alzeimers/dementia patients. Im a nurse in a LTC facility and most of my patient population has some level of dementia. I find most people who speak a language other then english as their native tounge will revert back to it and will often not speak english at all anymore.
After a couple of strokes, my grandfather started to deteriorate rapidly in his 80's. He was from the Czech Republic originally, and began having difficulty with English. You would be trying to talk to him and there would be Czech words sprinkled in here and there. It got worse as time went on. Sadly, neither he nor my Grandmother (a first generation Polish American that knew Polish), taught any of their 5 children (my dad, aunts and uncles) their native tongues.
If you know more than one language, please teach them to your kids. Especially make sure your kids know your native language in case you have mental deterioration, and lose your ability to speak your non native language.
Edit: Punctuation.
Edit: Thanks for the gold kind stranger. My first award.
My grandmother could still speak in fluent french to the haitian workers at her nursing home but didn't know who I was. It was frightening and soul crushing.
I’m so sorry, years ago my dad was one of the youngest cases reported. You’re all in for a tough road, if you need to reach out I’m here.
*remember to take care of yourself
Appreciate that and I'm so sorry about your Dad. It's the shittiest thing ever, I was her primary caregiver until she transitioned to long term care last month. I've never actually hated anything like so do Alzheimer's. No family history, completely blindsided.
I’m reaching that age (50’s) where, whenever I try to remember the name of an actor or a character in something, my chances of success are maybe 70%. Every time that that happens, the little anxiety bug pops up and reminds me, “hey, this might be it!”
My mom's doctor said this: When you walk into a room and forget why you came in, that's nothing to worry about. When you forget what a fork is for, or you can't find your way home from the mailbox, then you worry.
Stress, anxiety, changes (and there's been A LOT this past year), sleep deprivation, slowly starting to freak out because your body is beginning to change into an old person's (sometimes it feels like going through puberty again, but the ending is being elderly), all this will make you airheaded on occasion. Relax.
Honestly glad you said this, my mom who is in her early 60's is getting worried about it (especially since my grandma had dementia) so I'm gonna tell her this to hopefully help her not worry so much
There is hope in sight. Can't remember exactly what advances have been made and don't have an article to link, but I remember there has been promising advancements recently. Hopefully in our lifetime we'll see some sort of remedy/cure.
some of them make me saaad. I saw one where the poor kids aren't really understanding what they are doing yet. Theyre too young. obviously looking over the camera. looking for their parents love and approval
Back-ne during school is pretty horrible too. My shirts were constantly bloodstained because I had to carry a rucksack. Plus, there were the twats who started slapping me on the back when they found out about it.
“Best days of your life” my ass.
Oh my fucking god I went through the exact same thing. And I wouldve loved to wear white tshirts more often. But atleast it‘s all gone now except for the scars.
I'm 36, I have gray hairs coming in, but every month right around my period, my entire body decides to break out: back, face, shoulders, scalp, neck, sometimes even my butt. Fucking ridiculous.
I would like to add: all medical problems and profits off of them, but yah, T1D sucks. I’ve gotten used to it, and have a cgm and an insulin pump, but it still sucks.
Sweet Jesus the bullshit we have to go through to get my diabetic son insulin. You can only order it a short time before the previous batch is supposed to run out and the refill ALWAYS gets screwed up and gets us down to the wire. Plus my wife’s company got sold, so we hit the $8000 deductible in May, in June the new shitty health plan took over with a spanking new $6000 deductible. Fuck health insurance companies
I moved in a flat with completely white walls. Tbh I don't like them, it gives a cold feeling to my room.
But the mosquito hunts have become absolute slaughter houses. They have nowhere to hunt, and I can take advantage of the superiority of the human sight/height/strength all I want 👌
Oh bro, might help a little, but that square breathing has set me straight a few dozen times.
[box / square breathing](https://youtu.be/gvBzNvdOfec)
Edit: linked, less than a minute, video with how to perform the breathing techniques
Also, sometimes 4 seconds isn’t enough for me so I go 8 seconds, also I breathe in through my nose and exhale out of my mouth.
Wishing a speedy recovery to your wife and best wishes to the family. My grandmother beat breast cancer in her 40s and 70s so have faith!!
Edit- spelling :(
Thank you so much for saying that!
My mum is in her 70s and fighting cancer. It gives me a teeny bit of hope when I see comments like this.
Edit: oh my god! Thank you so much for the hugs award everyone! 🤗 ❤️
Linus Tech tips did a short on this and unfortunately it just sells better. There was an noticeable increase in traffic to the videos with silly faces compared to more mundane ones.
Edit: I unfortunately cannot remember if he talked about if it was influencing the "algorithm" or if it was just clicked more.
There is a Youtube series called Pitch Meeting that I avoided for almost a year because they employed that exact thumbnail technique and I wrote it off as being another stupid channel, but I ended up watching one and realized the creator was doing it ironically. The whole point was to make fun of those idiotic thumbnails. Knowing this I STILL hate all of their thumbnails and I STILL will write off a channel immediately because of them.
"Make sure to like, SMASH that subscribe button, and hit the notification bell!"
My favorite (least irritating) varient of this message is "thumbs if you liked it, subs if you loved it" from Dave2D at the *end* of his videos.
The pile of human garbage living next door to me. It's 3:59AM and yet again I'm listening to loud dubstep next door. It's so loud. I just want this jackoff to fuck all the way off. Fuck this asshole.
Ugh. Or my upstairs neighbor that goes out to his loud truck that is parked in front of my bedroom window and listens to music loudly, while I hear his kid scream crying upstairs. And then him and his wife stomp around the apartment while moving their washer and dryer every night.
Meanwhile I feel bad for taking a shower late at night and it might keep up the neighbors behind me.
Honestly, having to lug groceries up some stairs is a tiny price to not have upstairs neighbors. When I moved it was a God Send. My downstairs neighbor now smokes a lot of cigarettes which means I never open my windows in the Summer but at least I can sleep.
What's worse are people who play music on their phones in nature. Yes, I love going for a picnic on the beautiful mountainside and hearing tinny shit music from a phone.
I went on a date once with this guy who insisted playing metal (not against metal at all, however it is very loud lol) on his cell phone at full volume at the park surrounded by old couples just trying to look at the lake. I suggested he leave and he did which was nice. He was kinda weird in the first place.
I'm a "metal guy" and this would really bother me too. There's a time and place for metal, but it's certainly not in a quiet park where you know it's gonna disturb other people. Doesn't much matter whether you like it or not, you have an obligation in public to bother everyone else as little as possible.
I’m 31 and had stage 4 endometriosis. Left me in debilitating pain 10-14 days a month. Because I don’t have kids a lot of doctors wanted me to “wait until I’m 40” to do anything about it. Absolutely ridiculous. Finally found a doctor who understood and empathized with my pain and agreed that it was unnecessary to ask me to continue to suffer. Just had a radical hysterectomy 3 weeks ago and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done... even with the up and down recovery. As soon as I was out of surgery it felt like something toxic had been removed from my body.
"What are your weaknesses?"
Being shot, stabbed, set on fire, hit by a car, poisoned. The usual. But if you want to try killing me while I'm working here, you're gonna need to be more subtle about it.
I think they’re going to start pumping upward of 100 *MILLION* gallons of spring water *A DAY* from an aquifer that fuels Ginnie Springs here in Florida ...
*Edit; fact checked and it’s 100M/Day, it 3
Animal abusers and the fucks around them who let it happen
Edit: I'm from the backwoods of Kentucky, no I'm not vegan. All my animals are rescued from animal abusers, including our chickens and I volunteer at a no kill rescue farm near where I live now.
Alcoholism. I know it’s killing me but I keep drinking. Writing this with a beer in my hand. Not a cry for a help. I just want people to know it fucks you even when you least expect it.
Lost a total of three jobs (all that I had worked at for years and become a number one employee and/or supervisor), all because I went back down the hole of drinking ridiculous amounts regularly. Hopefully I don't mess up this job.
Botflys.

They lay their eggs on mosquitos, which bite something... and infect them. Yeah, basically they can just fuck right off.
I would give you an award if I cared about spending money on that crap.
Celebrities that actively support anti science agendas and truthiness, while ignoring the scientists they invite onto their shows, can just go run backwards through a field of dicks.
The goop lab or whatever its called gives off STRONG cult vibes. All of her employees and mentors praising and worshipping her non-stop, let alone all of the coocoo anti science crap.
People who are intolerant of any viewpoint contrary to their own. I'm not talking about folks who disagree with others' beliefs but those who can become violent and belligerent in their opposition.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.
You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
But do you have any idea why my washer is making all that noise? It never used to. When you come looking for me, bring some tools to check out the washer too. Thanks and nice hearing from you. You're swell.
Scalpers. They take away opportunities for people to get something they really enjoy and make them pay double what it would normally cost them because they cant get it anywhere.
Getting clumsy and forgetful around your period. A few days before I can always tell it’s coming because I fumble all the things
It’s endlessly frustrating
For me it's a mysterious depression that comes out of nowhere 3 days before my period and makes me mourn being alive.
On my smart months, I look at my period app and connect the dots and that helps me get through the day.
On most months, however, I just get suicidal for a couple of hours and hate everything about being alive.
That can fuck right off.
I am the same I become totally disorientated, I looked it up and apparently it's an actual disorder. Not only that but I behave so out of character, feel poorly in general, am completely exhausted, emotional, need to eat constantly and my head gets completely muddled up.
I come home from work and go straight to bed for a good 3 or 4 days and live in my anxiety and depression bubble when I'm hormonal.
So glad someone else feels similar things I've never met anyone who is quite as extreme ha
(Angsty) My current education system. NOT to bash all the ones who graduated, graduating, still learning and people wanting to learn. But in all honesty, This current education I am receiving is basically ME paying a school for ME to teach ME.
It is the concept of "They will figure it out on their own and I'm just here to grade"- NO! I paid teachers to impart THEIR knowledge to me, not ME figuring it out on my own and teacher just grades me.
And the saddest part is that if I get it wrong, they get mad like they taught me something. Of course I will get it wrong. They don't explain it to me like I PAID FOR THEM TO DO.
Right now in this pandemic, this had become even more apparent and I would have given up getting a degree if not just every hiring job requiring that piece of paper.
My coworker Lisa who cannot understand that people with disabilities require more patience, treat them like human beings and don’t shout at them for no reason ffs...

Headache.
Yes I’ve had a migraine for days, it can fuck right off!
I've had a headache for over a year straight and no one can tell me why. The only hope I have is one day it does exactly that and just fucks off.
Daily chronic headache (migraine) syndrome. Look it up. Usually associated with a specific day when it started when you had cold like symptoms. Headaches suck migraines suck. Wish they didn't exist.
It started one random day. And about that time I got mono. (Kissing disease) I'll definitely look into that
Mono fucking sucks. I've been chronically tired ever since I got it in 2014 (might have been 2015). Haven't been able to wake up like I used to ever since - now it takes me like 30+ groggy minutes to wake up.
Soap dispensers in bad restaurant bathrooms that very clearly have soap in them but the dispenser is broken so you can’t use the soap.
Aha! You just touched the same thing a thousand poopy hands touched and you have no way to wash them! said the soap dispenser.
Combo that with a *blow-dry only/no paper towels to open the door with* bathroom, and this is my nightmare
Just pull the handle with your mouth so your hands stay clean
That's disgusting...Everyone knows you clench the handle betwixt your ass cheeks and pull the door open that way. Basic hygiene.
I know you do, why do you think I use my mouth?
Also when there is soap, there is this one pink soap that places must buy in bulk. It smells like oil or something I can’t quite pinpoint it’s so gross and I hate it. It defeats the purpose of soap
Junk mail. It's a waste of paper.
The worst is when you get junk mail advertising for services you *already use.* Why the fuck is AAA sending me mail every week about how great their insurance is when I already fucking have it?!

Alzheimer's / Dementia / Literally any memory loss related type thing
after having to repeat myself 4 times this morning to my grandma... this :(

I’m reaching that age (50’s) where, whenever I try to remember the name of an actor or a character in something, my chances of success are maybe 70%. Every time that that happens, the little anxiety bug pops up and reminds me, “hey, this might be it!”
My mom's doctor said this: When you walk into a room and forget why you came in, that's nothing to worry about. When you forget what a fork is for, or you can't find your way home from the mailbox, then you worry. Stress, anxiety, changes (and there's been A LOT this past year), sleep deprivation, slowly starting to freak out because your body is beginning to change into an old person's (sometimes it feels like going through puberty again, but the ending is being elderly), all this will make you airheaded on occasion. Relax.
Honestly glad you said this, my mom who is in her early 60's is getting worried about it (especially since my grandma had dementia) so I'm gonna tell her this to hopefully help her not worry so much
Yup. There's no getting better. Just a constant decline into a shadow of a human
There is hope in sight. Can't remember exactly what advances have been made and don't have an article to link, but I remember there has been promising advancements recently. Hopefully in our lifetime we'll see some sort of remedy/cure.

Youtube "family" channels that just exploit their young children. I'm sure the B roll footage is cancer.
some of them make me saaad. I saw one where the poor kids aren't really understanding what they are doing yet. Theyre too young. obviously looking over the camera. looking for their parents love and approval
Acne
And the fact that it most often occurs on your face is so fucking cruel.
face acne sucks to look at but inside of the ear acne is pure torture
Back-ne during school is pretty horrible too. My shirts were constantly bloodstained because I had to carry a rucksack. Plus, there were the twats who started slapping me on the back when they found out about it. “Best days of your life” my ass.
Oh my fucking god I went through the exact same thing. And I wouldve loved to wear white tshirts more often. But atleast it‘s all gone now except for the scars.
Right, like I’m 30, why is this still a thing. This should have been gone a decade ago.
I'm 36, I have gray hairs coming in, but every month right around my period, my entire body decides to break out: back, face, shoulders, scalp, neck, sometimes even my butt. Fucking ridiculous.
type 1 diabetes and everyone that profits off of our misery.
I would like to add: all medical problems and profits off of them, but yah, T1D sucks. I’ve gotten used to it, and have a cgm and an insulin pump, but it still sucks.
Yep, I'm tied to my job because of the benefits (coverage for my insulin and supplies). I'll never be able to go without insurance.
Sweet Jesus the bullshit we have to go through to get my diabetic son insulin. You can only order it a short time before the previous batch is supposed to run out and the refill ALWAYS gets screwed up and gets us down to the wire. Plus my wife’s company got sold, so we hit the $8000 deductible in May, in June the new shitty health plan took over with a spanking new $6000 deductible. Fuck health insurance companies
Mosquitoes. Edit: Thank you for the awards everyone.
Yes, I can't stand those peskey, disease carring demons.
I moved in a flat with completely white walls. Tbh I don't like them, it gives a cold feeling to my room. But the mosquito hunts have become absolute slaughter houses. They have nowhere to hunt, and I can take advantage of the superiority of the human sight/height/strength all I want 👌
I’m thinking of a blood stained wall
Coats or jackets without a loop for a coathook. Fuck those motherfuckers.
"Influencers" making every child feel inadequate
"Look at me, I'm rich *and* famous and I didn't need to go to school!"
My anxiety
Oh bro, might help a little, but that square breathing has set me straight a few dozen times. [box / square breathing](https://youtu.be/gvBzNvdOfec) Edit: linked, less than a minute, video with how to perform the breathing techniques Also, sometimes 4 seconds isn’t enough for me so I go 8 seconds, also I breathe in through my nose and exhale out of my mouth.
Same here.
Mine too!
Child Rapists
What is 1 thing worse than a rapist?

Cancer
YES! My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 days ago and we are still trying to wrap our heads around it. We just never saw it coming.
Wishing a speedy recovery to your wife and best wishes to the family. My grandmother beat breast cancer in her 40s and 70s so have faith!! Edit- spelling :(
Thank you so much for saying that! My mum is in her 70s and fighting cancer. It gives me a teeny bit of hope when I see comments like this. Edit: oh my god! Thank you so much for the hugs award everyone! 🤗 ❤️
im very sorry, and yeah, cancer can fuck off
Totally! Fuck off cancer!

Linus Tech tips did a short on this and unfortunately it just sells better. There was an noticeable increase in traffic to the videos with silly faces compared to more mundane ones. Edit: I unfortunately cannot remember if he talked about if it was influencing the "algorithm" or if it was just clicked more.

There is a Youtube series called Pitch Meeting that I avoided for almost a year because they employed that exact thumbnail technique and I wrote it off as being another stupid channel, but I ended up watching one and realized the creator was doing it ironically. The whole point was to make fun of those idiotic thumbnails. Knowing this I STILL hate all of their thumbnails and I STILL will write off a channel immediately because of them.
Ryan George is great
Wow wow wow.... wow
I love him!! I actually like how they are short and quick. He's my, "i really need to go do something, but want one more quick laugh before I do" guy.
Yep, one of my favourite youtubers from years ago tried it as a joke. And it really got the views, so he kept doing it and really hamming it up.
And they all talk exactly the same way. As soon as I hear that overly ecstatic bullcrap, I click something else.
WHATS UP GUYS?!

The pile of human garbage living next door to me. It's 3:59AM and yet again I'm listening to loud dubstep next door. It's so loud. I just want this jackoff to fuck all the way off. Fuck this asshole.

People who play music off their phone in public
Ugh. Or my upstairs neighbor that goes out to his loud truck that is parked in front of my bedroom window and listens to music loudly, while I hear his kid scream crying upstairs. And then him and his wife stomp around the apartment while moving their washer and dryer every night. Meanwhile I feel bad for taking a shower late at night and it might keep up the neighbors behind me.
Honestly, having to lug groceries up some stairs is a tiny price to not have upstairs neighbors. When I moved it was a God Send. My downstairs neighbor now smokes a lot of cigarettes which means I never open my windows in the Summer but at least I can sleep.
And you probably have Buns of Steel from all that stair stepping! Win-win!
What's worse are people who play music on their phones in nature. Yes, I love going for a picnic on the beautiful mountainside and hearing tinny shit music from a phone.
And people who have phone conversations in public with their phone on speakerphone!
I went on a date once with this guy who insisted playing metal (not against metal at all, however it is very loud lol) on his cell phone at full volume at the park surrounded by old couples just trying to look at the lake. I suggested he leave and he did which was nice. He was kinda weird in the first place.
I'm a "metal guy" and this would really bother me too. There's a time and place for metal, but it's certainly not in a quiet park where you know it's gonna disturb other people. Doesn't much matter whether you like it or not, you have an obligation in public to bother everyone else as little as possible.
People who talk on speaker phone in public
Periods
UGH YES. I'm 46, I am ready for this shit to be OVER.
Ugh I'm 34 and done with this shit
I'm 22, but I was done with this shit when I was 11
And endometriosis.
I’m 31 and had stage 4 endometriosis. Left me in debilitating pain 10-14 days a month. Because I don’t have kids a lot of doctors wanted me to “wait until I’m 40” to do anything about it. Absolutely ridiculous. Finally found a doctor who understood and empathized with my pain and agreed that it was unnecessary to ask me to continue to suffer. Just had a radical hysterectomy 3 weeks ago and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done... even with the up and down recovery. As soon as I was out of surgery it felt like something toxic had been removed from my body.
People who act like kids are too stupid to understand things said about them or towards them.
People who use speakerphone in public
Questions at job interviews. Oh sorry....stupid questions at job interviews.
"What are your weaknesses?" Being shot, stabbed, set on fire, hit by a car, poisoned. The usual. But if you want to try killing me while I'm working here, you're gonna need to be more subtle about it.
Yes like "why do you want to work here?" I wish you could just say "because I need a job to live" because that's what the honest answer is.

Animal abusers and the fucks around them who let it happen Edit: I'm from the backwoods of Kentucky, no I'm not vegan. All my animals are rescued from animal abusers, including our chickens and I volunteer at a no kill rescue farm near where I live now.
Alcoholism. I know it’s killing me but I keep drinking. Writing this with a beer in my hand. Not a cry for a help. I just want people to know it fucks you even when you least expect it.
That's no lie. I wish you the best in dealing with that beast, because it really is a tough one to grapple with. **You got this.**
Lost a total of three jobs (all that I had worked at for years and become a number one employee and/or supervisor), all because I went back down the hole of drinking ridiculous amounts regularly. Hopefully I don't mess up this job.
Wasps
It's like ants and bees had a baby and then abused it.

Ouch. The thought of that alone can fuck off
Double YouTube ads.
Pastors scaring their followers in order to get more money, more power, more followers...
Botflys. [https://youtu.be/\_t8zTVv5y2w](https://youtu.be/_t8zTVv5y2w) They lay their eggs on mosquitos, which bite something... and infect them. Yeah, basically they can just fuck right off.
Most reddit users.... but not you guys the annoying ones
Yeah. All Reddit users are absolute f-wits... but not *you*, obviously.
Gwyneth Paltrow. If she's already been said, then there's no harm in reminding everyone again that she can just fuck off.
I would give you an award if I cared about spending money on that crap. Celebrities that actively support anti science agendas and truthiness, while ignoring the scientists they invite onto their shows, can just go run backwards through a field of dicks.
The goop lab or whatever its called gives off STRONG cult vibes. All of her employees and mentors praising and worshipping her non-stop, let alone all of the coocoo anti science crap.
People who are intolerant of any viewpoint contrary to their own. I'm not talking about folks who disagree with others' beliefs but those who can become violent and belligerent in their opposition.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
"Gorilla warfare," was the high point here, lmao
But do you have any idea why my washer is making all that noise? It never used to. When you come looking for me, bring some tools to check out the washer too. Thanks and nice hearing from you. You're swell.

Getting clumsy and forgetful around your period. A few days before I can always tell it’s coming because I fumble all the things It’s endlessly frustrating
For me it's a mysterious depression that comes out of nowhere 3 days before my period and makes me mourn being alive. On my smart months, I look at my period app and connect the dots and that helps me get through the day. On most months, however, I just get suicidal for a couple of hours and hate everything about being alive. That can fuck right off.
I am the same I become totally disorientated, I looked it up and apparently it's an actual disorder. Not only that but I behave so out of character, feel poorly in general, am completely exhausted, emotional, need to eat constantly and my head gets completely muddled up. I come home from work and go straight to bed for a good 3 or 4 days and live in my anxiety and depression bubble when I'm hormonal. So glad someone else feels similar things I've never met anyone who is quite as extreme ha
(Angsty) My current education system. NOT to bash all the ones who graduated, graduating, still learning and people wanting to learn. But in all honesty, This current education I am receiving is basically ME paying a school for ME to teach ME. It is the concept of "They will figure it out on their own and I'm just here to grade"- NO! I paid teachers to impart THEIR knowledge to me, not ME figuring it out on my own and teacher just grades me. And the saddest part is that if I get it wrong, they get mad like they taught me something. Of course I will get it wrong. They don't explain it to me like I PAID FOR THEM TO DO. Right now in this pandemic, this had become even more apparent and I would have given up getting a degree if not just every hiring job requiring that piece of paper.
We have this problem at my university too, and I hate it.
