What is something that frustrates you almost every day?

not everyday, but…
People who refer to s#$@posts on social media as “research.”
And, willful ignorance.

Same here and as the years pass, it only gets worse.

It's a self-defeating cycle, right? You're less active because it hurts more when you're active, and the less active you are, the more it hurts when you're active....especially as you get older.

And actually, the older I get, the more places I hurt. Partly because I'm less active, I suppose, but mostly because the discs wear out, the vertebrae shift, they come into contact with nerves, and yikes. That's what's happening with me, anyway.

I'm having a lot of trouble with my legs these days. The pain can get borderline intolerable, but occasionally I also experience temporary paralysis in one or both legs. That's a lot more concerning.

Frustrating thing about that is, the doctors and specialists don't know what to do about it. The knowledge just isn't there.

I have a call blocking system on my phones, so all incoming calls goes through a screening system, and if I don't know who the caller is I don't answer and the caller has no idea that I heard the call...

Do you hear the caller?

What frustrates me on a Daily basis is also the limitations caused by Pain..in my fingers mainly due to recent onset of OA ( and in other places in my body).. which makes it all much more difficult to carry out normal day to day tasks without experiencing pain..

I'll find out on Tuesday if that's what's up with my hands. I keep defaulting to nerve pain, but it's probably arthritis.

What kind of idiot rides his bike right in front of a massive bus, though? At low speed, no less.

I mean, the driver pulled a really stupid move, but the cyclist is a moron.

Ah, I share your frustration. Around here electric motorcycles masquerade as bicycles where they can be found on sidewalks, and at intersections where they sometimes become whizzing pedestrians in crosswalks.

As for robo calls, I have caller ID turned on. If I don’t recognize the caller it doesn‘t get answered.

yes I hear the caller.. my system tells them to say who's calling, and then I get to accept the call or deny it by pressing a number on my phone. The caller doesn't know I've heard it.. and if I don't accept the call , it just sounds their end as tho' no-one has answered the phone..
 
Simple question---Drivers of their cars, trucks or whatever, with bad habits and-or not paying attention. IOW, Get off your phones.

That's a good system. See, when I was doing foster care, I'd get calls from various foster services with numbers I didn't recognize. So I had to answer all calls in case it was about my foster child. That's when I got in the habit of answering the phone with a bot voice.

@hollydolly

And sometimes when I got a scam call, I handed the phone to Paxton and said, "It's for you." 😂
He was 2, and he'd keep 'em on the line for a good 4 or 5 minutes. And of course, he didn't know my banking info or anything. It was really fun.
 
I can't stand that lousy gynecologist and her crummy 3 day deodorant goop. I have to mute the TV and look away.
Maybe if you reek after three days without showering, your personal hygiene isn't up to par.
I never met the woman, and I'm not sure what irritates me about her, but I do dream of running her over.
