Shit That Sucks – First Edition

Do you find yourself repeating the same thing over and over again all week? This shit suuuuucks. I do. A lot. Sometimes it’s something big (that’s what she said), sometimes it’s something so small that drives you crazy insane. In fact, there is so much shit that sucks, that I’ve decided I need to run a weekly column chronicling it all. The plan: I’ll wrap up each week with shit that has sucked. And since I know that you guys think a lot of shit sucks, too, I’ll be taking submissions every week. Just reach out to me on Facebook, email, Twitter, skywriting, or whatever (just don’t show up at my house, unless you want to go to jail – that shit sucks), and share with me some shit that sucks. Easy (just like you!).

Now, let’s get started with my first list of shit that sucks.

Friday, January 13, 2012 (Ohhhh, Friday the 13th. That shit sucks!)

Sleeping smashed up against the rail of a toddler bed, with toddler feet in your face.

Yelling at your kids.

Guilt, from yelling at your kids.

Plugging in the baby monitor, when climbing into bed at night, to hear a SCREAMING baby on the other end.

Accidentally typing  ;) instead of :) . Then spending the next hour worried you just made someone think you want to hump them.

When the DVR doesn’t record your favorite show (GAH that shit sucks!)

Intolerant assholes.

“Anonymous” internet trolls.

Mommy wars - women who don’t support other women.

People who can’t take a joke.

When people hide the guest list on Evites.

Finally…

Reader submissions:

Angie: getting an assy email and sending my kid to school sobbing.

@BartoloJ75: I’ll tell you what sucks, going to a Mexican restaurant and seeing white cooks.

Susie Vela thinks this shit sucks: going to the corner CVS to get a few missing toiletries, cleaning supplies that you forgot at the grocery store yesterday, and the ramen noodles you’re teenager asked for only to find they are out of chicken flav ramen which means you have to go to HEB after all because you know you’ll have the same dumb luck if you go to the corner Walgreens!

Amber: It sucks that my daughters may end up with a shared birthday (Feb 23rd) because the first was 10 weeks premature (due April 30th) and the second is most likely being induced 2 weeks early (due March 5th).  It sucks that this is so important to me, but I wanted them to have special days, and because of my failing body that might be the opposite of what happens.

@caffeinated_mom: getting heartburn from WATER #saysthepregnantchick

James Hickey: Social conservatives.

@jailphenom1984: Ohio State University.

@queenofpink: Puking dogs, sick husbands, underwires in bras, fighting teenagers, the BCS championship game.

@missuptowngirl: That under the skin pimple that you can’t pop & hurts like heck & never seems to go away. TMI?

@AmandaMagee: passive aggressive digs.

Thanks for sharing your shit that sucks. If you sent me a submission and it’s not here, I’ll get to it next week! Trying to get organized (that shit sucks!).

In addition to my new Shit That Sucks column, I am also adding a weekly photo column, “Snoop the Asshole Cat.” That’s some rich content right there ladies and gentlemen! You are so lucky.

Hope you have an amazing weekend that doesn’t include too much shit that sucks.

Thanks for stopping by.

**I just googled shit that sucks (after the fact) and I found this http://shitthatsucks.tumblr.com/ —-I’ll continue my weekly column on it, but just didn’t want to look like I ripped this person off…because that shit sucks!

    Feeling like shit and not knowing if it is from your bladder infection, the antibiotics you are on for your bladder infection, the cold your kids has, or PMS = my week

    You’re right. All of this shit does suck. You know what else sucks? Being the only person in the house that loads the dishwasher. Don’t they see the sink full of dirty dishes?
