Minor complaints since the world is going to sh*t...

Rant/Vent

I have no room to complain in the grand scheme of things, but boy have I been struggling lately. Heavy stuff aside, here's a list of trivial annoyances I've been experiencing:

  1. I HATE when people say (for example) "3am in the morning" or "7pm at night." IT'S REDUNDANT. AM MEANS MORNING AND PM MEANS NIGHT, JUST PICK ONE. I don't know why this makes me so irrationally upset, but it does. When someone does this they lose 80% of their credibility to me. Again, irrationally upset.

  2. SPELLING. I've never been diagnosed with OCD but I think some of my tendencies lean in that direction. I'm so weird about spelling (only my own, I don't care if others misspell words). My particular grievance lies with words like "grey/gray" and "canceled/cancelled." I JUST WANT TO SPELL IT CORRECTLY. I know they're both correct. I know one spelling is more common in the UK and one is more common in the US, but why can't they just be the same.

  3. When people say "heigth" instead of "height". Haven't heard this one in a while, but it always makes my eye twitch.

  4. My apartment gym. Why so small but I pay so much money? Why the TV and cable (??) budget bigger than the treadmill budget?

Thank you for reading, needed to vent about silly things and this is the most supportive community I've ever been a part of <3
