Seriously, I am truly a positive person. If you remove the stupidity of Kenneth from 30 Rock, his demeanor is my overall approach daily.
But I’ll be real, there is shit I hate to do. The below makes me roll my eyes and probably ages me by 24-36 hours. How about you? Am I just a lazy, whiny ass?
Shave-why does hair even grow back at this point? We aren’t animals, we don’t need the hair to keep us warm. I don’t want to pluck my eyebrows anymore. Oh, and for women that give a damn, we have to shape our eyebrows. Ugh…
Laundry– my sons whine they don’t have clean pants when there probably sitting in the dryer or in a folded pile in their room. Meanwhile, I’m wearing my jeans 3 days before washing. Additionally, my oldest has a “thing” where he wants to dry off with a new towel every time. After telling him he has to use a towel at least 1 more time, he now tries to disguise his towel addiction by hiding it under another towel on the hook and putting the towel in my hamper. This isn’t the Hilton. At no point did I put a little card on his pillow that said HELP US CONSERVE WATER. IF YOU CAN USE YOUR TOWEL ANOTHER DAY, HANG IT UP.
P.S. And don’t even think your getting something ironed. That is what a hot shower is for.
Unloading/loading the dishwasher– I LUV, LUV, LUV, that my sons pitch a fit for having to unload the dishwasher, once every other day together. I’ve gotten so good at unloading and loading that I can have it done in 5 minutes. I guess I can’t bitch I mean, there is a machine literally washing and drying my dishes. #firstworldproblems
Renewing my tags– For the first time, I did it before being pulled over. Sure, I did it on my birthday but you know what? That is total progress! Maybe this year I’ll even send in for my tags. Probably not but this is the first step.
Cleaning out my personal email- Didn’t I just do this? Last check? 7,184 e-mails. Ugh!!! We’ve all been there, subscribe to EVERYTHING to get that 10% off then we’ll probably never shop there again. Some places I didn’t even use the 10% off coupon. Then at some point they sell your info then you have other stupid places sending you stuff. I really need to unsubscribe, maybe I’ll do that today.
Pay utilities– Seriously, didn’t I just do this? How is the water $276? Oh right, forgot to pay it last month. I know, I know, put it on auto pay. You know I tried that with my electric and they were like, “you have to have 1 year of on time consecutive bill pay.” And I’m like, “good luck with that compadre.”
So those are a few. I think these came to me because it’s Saturday and for once, all I want to do is veg out but in reality I probably have to do at least 60% of the above. Add to my list! I want to hear what all of you hate to do and if it’s paying your butler and maid, I will scream at you.
Auto registration renewal is definitely on my hate list. It was a happy day when they finally started doing renewals online. I also hate going to the ATM. I’ve not been a single time since mobile banking was introduced. It is always freezing and windy when I need gas. Pay at the pump is good. I only wish I could fill up the tank online. LOL
I would kill to be able to fill up online. Pehaps when self driving cars happen they can just get filled up, sans driver?
Ooo massive time saving tip: have a fake email that you use for all your store sign ups. I use an old twitter account. And then use it for places like starbucks to sign into their wifi. Check it once every few months and just delete everything. Its like massive junk folder but you can just ignore it haha
Ya know, I’ve thought about doing that. I should just totally do that, I would just need to get the current junk transferred over then be vigilent on the items that pop up thanks to signing up to sites I find important to me.
On the junk there is a little “unsubscribe” at the bottm of all the emails. it just takes a few seconds per email to end the torture lol
Yeah, I do that when I have some time but it feels like I’m running in water with regards to keeping up with this.
Oh yeah I know how that feels! I would just get a handle on mine and then BAM something would make it skyrocket again. That’s when I started using the second account haha.
I think I’m going to set that up this weekend.
It’s a life saver!
For your son who wants fresh towels… ask him why he needs a fresh towel everyday… is he not cleaning himself properly in the shower? If he keeps on sneaking a new one, I would take his ‘towel privilege’ away and give him a hair dryer instead; super clean!
I hate putting in/taking out my contacts. It’s such a chore!
I hate taking the dogs out, but who doesn’t?
I hate when the wifi isn’t working properly and I have to get up, walk across the room, and reset it. #lazyfatassawardgoesto
As an extreme tea drinker (I drink on average, 4qts every other day), I hate making tea.
I’m sure there’s more, but that’s what I have for now.
I don’t walk my dog and this is going to sound terrible but we just let her out. If it were meant to be, she’ll come back. It’s been working since about 2005.
I would love to be able to do that, but a) my dogs are too stupid to come back and/or fend for themselves in the wild, and b) my house backs up to a very busy interstate and would feel absolutely horrible if anything were to happen.
Our neighborhood is extremely close to an interstate too but not that close where I would let Chichi out and she would be Flap Jack Chichi. Being a 125 years old, she doesn’t get very far these days.
