How many is that in American?

It depends on the exchange rate.

That is so annoying not only on banking websites, but others as well (from someone that rarely access the internet with my phone).

My sister has an incredible feeling of self entitlement. She hasn't worked for 17 years. She has a son with 'additional needs' but this shouldn't prevent her from working (especially seeing as he's at school Monday-Friday 8-3.30 but with school provided travel he's out of the house 7.30-4.15). It's my sons 9th birthday this weekend and she has not contacted me for my address (I moved in January) to even send him a card, as trivial as this sounds, if I forgot/ignored her sons birthday, there would be hell to pay.

I have worked my behind off since I was 16 (19 years) and if there's a family occasion that I can't make due to work commitments, I get a lot of abuse. I've tried to explain that my job covers 24/7-365, but it falls on deaf ears.

I've tried reaching out to my parents and they just say 'you know what she's like'. It's really getting me down.

I have a sister who has the same mindset and she has alienated the whole family with her BS. We all just had to stop communicating with her because she's so toxic. Let it go. Too little time in life to be dragged down by other people's crap even if it is family.

You pick your friends.  Relatives (and in-laws)……….you're stuck with whoever comes along in the package.  Don't lose sleep caring about anyone who is too self-centered to care about you.

If you're turning left at a light, turn on your freaking turn signal BEFORE the light turns green.

If you're on JTB in rush hour traffic and you go that route everyday and full well know that it's going to bottleneck at the Kernan exit to NOT be an [BLEEP] and just leave some space for other people to get over. That would be great.

Saw a near accident the other day coming home from work because literally one guy wouldn't budge. We're all going the same damn way. We're all going to get further delayed and tied up at the UNF light regardless with one lane blocked off all the way down.

One car length will make no difference in you getting home in time to kick your dog and punch your wife around for burning the tuna casserole. I am sure they'll be cowering in fear as usual regardless if it's 6:05 PM or 6:06 PM.

Along the same lines, it annoys me when someone puts on their left turn signal and the person behind them, with plenty of room, does not slide by them on the right. Instead, they wait until the guy completes the turn and then they proceed.

Yeah, I hate it when people actually follow driving laws. The nerve!!!

How my daughter seems incapable of making a simple voice phone call. It's always a FaceTime call.

My 4 yr old asked to face time me.  While she was right in front of me.  I said ok, then tried to have a conversation with her her.  I somehow got the “no daddy, with the phones.”  I tried to explain that being in person was 10 times better than FaceTime.  It’s like regular FaceTime, just in 3D actual reality.  But try explaining that to a 4 yr old..

Not an issue for us professional procrastinators. I’ll tell you about it later.

Why bother with the supermarket?  You can buy X items online and have them shipped directly to your house.  They're even packaged discreetly in plain cardboard boxes, labeled 'office supplies" (or so I hear.)

solution: get a piece of cardboard, preferably rectangular in shape. Cut out a smaller rectangular hole in the cardboard. Hold it up, and talk to her. She will either think you're a butthead, or absolutely love it and this becomes your thing.

I can tell you right now it’ll be the “new thing”.  We have quite the handful of weird/odds things we do that came about but similar fashion. When you put it that way, I may just have to go out in the garage, find some cardboard, and make her and I some phones.

Mondays on hormones. I've alternated between wanting to kill someone, anyone. And cry. But not cry about killing someone. Hmmm.....
