Yep, this is the thread for bitching about the pettiest of your first world problems. Absolutely nothing actually important.

Mine is I hate that pre-peeled potatoes do not come in the varieties I like. The varieties I like are only ever available in the earth covered, skin on, section of the grocers'. I just hate scrubbing and peeling spuds though. So just passively accept the lazy, tasteless, slightly stale, pre-packed potatoes from the chilled section. It annoys me, and it is totally my own fault.

So don't peel em

fuck peeling potatoes

+1 waste of life I will never get back.

Also, I reckon they taste good with skins on.

Pre-washed potatoes ftw.

The kind OP likes aren't sold pre-washed, apparently, so OP has to scrub them even if they don't peel them.

I like the taste of potato skin, so won't peel them myself. I mean obviously rinse them really well and cut off any janky looking bits.

My pretty bitching: I main a Healer in the MMORPG I play (FFXIV) and just ran a dungeon with a DPS who insisted on going Leroy Jenkins at every pull. Man I did not want to heal the jerk, but the tank was really good so we weren't in too much danger, so I didn't have an excuse.

Sometimes, the lengths my dad will go to continue to justify why he is right. He is insistent that I am really overweight and I have to admit it. Today without knowing I put on a shirt that I later found out was fit for a young teenager (it was my 12 year old sister's slightly oversized for her)

It was a slightly tight fit but otherwise fin. In fact I thought it was the older of my sisters or my moms. Now I am somewhat large chested so that may factor into why it was tight.

But still. The fact that a 12 to 14 year old's shirt fit me MIGHT be a sign that I'm not SUPER overweight and my health is in immediate danger from it. Like I will admit I can be kinda pudgy but.

Or maybe I'm just tired of having to be the one to lose with him.

My sympathies. In your shoes, I'd be tempted to ask my dad directly why it's so important to him that I need to be ashamed or embarrassed about my weight. If I were feeling spiteful (which I often am) I'd also be tempted to pick out a physical characteristic of his and bring it up every and every time he got on me about my weight.

Or I suppose if I didn't want to be quite that aggressive, I'd say, with a bored expression. "I know I'm overweight. You mention it a lot, so I understand it's important to you, but I'm not really interested in this topic" followed by an abrupt change of subject (don't even try to be subtle) and/or leaving the room (not in a huff, just a bored, meandering way).

I think he thinks it's important because he's saving me from health problems. The thing is my health/eating problems are tied to my emotional problems. I eat more than I should because of stress sometimes. But usually that's dismissed as an excuse and never touched on. In a household where I'm often shouted down and not allowed to say even an angry word at my parents , there's lots of stress.

The latter is probably the best choice. Or ignoring him.

Yeah, that happens a lot, I'm sorry. Some people really do NOT get it. I pretty much told my mother this:

"I have a bad habit of eating when I'm stressed. When you yell at me or try to embarrass me about being overweight, it doesn't make me want to exercise or stop eating, it makes me want to eat more. If you want to help me, stop doing that. If you just want to vent your frustrations at me, then understand that you're making it worse, not better."

But when you're stuck in a household like yours, all you can do sometimes is keep your head down, formulate your plan for escape and get the hell out.

Yeah. That's what I'm working on now. I bought myself an andriod phone recently so I don't have to worry as much when they use internet access as a threat. I'm working on saving money once some bills get worked out.

Smart move, and best of luck to you.

Thanks! I hope things go well.

Or maybe you're just in denial.

and maybe you're just being a bitch.

I'm aware that I'm a tad pudgy but...I hate being treated as if I'm so overweight my life is in danger. Like 300 pounds territory. I'm really not.

God that's fucked up I'm sorry :(

Heh thanks but I just sorta chalk it up to parents will be parents. *shrug* Best thing I can do is not react.

I did something with surprising success, and it went over well, and now people expect me to be the one who does that thing for them. Fuck me for having a skill, but I don't have the time...

"Sorry, but I can't do that for you. I can give you a few tips, though..."

Our water is leaking really badly in the front yard so we have to turn our water off at the meter. So, it is off most of the day except for like 2 hours when we shower/wash dishes/laundry. Hopefully plumbers will be coming by on Monday and will fix it. It will be super expensive but we want water again!
