me too.

But your reply reminded me of the time I cut my lip on an untoasted bagel. How can something as soft and squishy as a bagel be sharp enough to cut you?

Sorry, it was funny! Maybe the “crust” cut you?

Hair ties that are too tight. I have a very sensitive scalp and if a ponytail I put in is too tight it bugs me all day. Some hair ties are just too elasticized or something and they pull dreadfully.

YES! I use the like silicone round thingies it’s so much better

Don't just teach children to do laundry. If they're starting a wash because they want that shirt for tomorrow, then they can collect everyone's hampers and do a reasonable load that benefits everybody.
Same for cooking. By a certain age, everyone in the family is responsible for cooking one meal a week. Making popcorn - ask who else would like some.
A family is more than a group of individuals.

It was the crust...bagel sliced in half, brittle crust...bleeding lip. Only I am talented enough to allow myself to be maimed by a bagel.

You feel like the blanket is literally going to scorch you, but then after you shove said blanket as far away as possible, you're instantly cold. Try with only the sheet. Nope, too cold still. Put blanket back on, too hot again. Rinse. Repeat.

Happened to me last night from 1-4:00 a.m.
Ergo, vis-avis, concordantly.... tired as crap today.

P.S. Please, someone reward me with recognizing that bit of nonsense above

Try sleeping with one leg uncovered.

Yes! Finally, someone who understands the struggle!

But then it’s too cold.

It has always worked for me. I like to have something on me, but by leaving one leg exposed it seems to regulate my temp. just right.

For me, no. I wake up, unexpectedly. I’m too hot. So I take my blanket, and put it it down to my knees. Too cold. I put it up to my wait. Too cold. I decide to out one leg out. Too cold. But if I keep it on, it’s too hot.

Ok, I am going to join in the complaining. These may have been mentioned already.

1) Tail gaiting. I would never experience road rage I do not think, but that puts me really, really close. You are driving the speed limit (usually 5 mph over because you can get away with that) but some fool wants to put you, themselves, as well as others life in danger to ride your bumper.

2) People who cannot have a conversation, but want to talk over you. You get three words out of your mouth and they instantly take over the conversation over and over and over again. I feel like punching them right in the kisser.

3) This is not a big one, but, yep, it is one. People that will not turn a light off when they leave a room and the room is empty. I do not understand how easy it is to remember to turn the switch on, but you just cannot remember to turn it off as you leave. Just lazy.
