Weekly Obsessions: Silly things that really bum me out

5.27.2012

We all have silly tendencies that come out at weird points in life, and we all have a subconscious list of things that can wreck our day if they happen. I'm no exception to this and today I'm going to let my guard down and share my silly list of things that really bum me out.

1. Instagram freezing
Nothing may irk me more than trying to get the perfect shot in instagram and the camera freezing up. This happens to me almost once a day and it must stop! I'm sorry I'm not picture perfect all the time little iPhone brain but I'm just not. Now that's what I call a first world problem.

2. Cold rain

Contrary to the image you see above real life doesn't really look like this, no couple looks hot in the cold rain; especially when it's been unplanned. Sure with some sweet gear and a little makeup we might get a couple of good shots but for the most part we just look bad. I can't stand when it's wet and cold outside. One or the other please, there just is no getting warm with that combination.

3. There's no use crying over spilt milk

I think most of us have heard the saying above at some point in our lives and I'm here to say that I actually do get really upset when milk is spilled. I love milk, I like to drink milk, and milk is expensive so pardon me if I shed an inner tear when a drop is wasted.

4. Slow computers
I take a lot of pictures, which means I'm also editing a lot of pictures. When I'm working on say 120 images at a time my computer can slow down a lot, so much so that I try not to have any other programs open when I'm in Photoshop. Yes, this is partially my own doing because I don't need to keep every picture on my computer, and yes my computer is 5 years old, but it still bums me out that it acts out in that way. If it could just work a little faster I could take a lot more images and weed through the bad ones in no time; which would mean better posts, quicker writing, and my sanity intact. I'm just saying people.

5. Running out of coffee (and milk) on the weekends
Here I am with another first world problem, and coffee addict confession. On the weekends I expect a never ending pot of coffee at my disposal. That way at 2pm and 2am when I'm needing a little pick me up there is something there waiting for me. I hate it when we run out of coffee on the weekend because it ruins my entire schedule and makes me super angry. That goes for the milk that resides in my coffee too.

6. Seeing litter everywhere

I'm probably showing my age by saying this, but does anyone remember the crying native american commercial? Though I saw it on TVLand and not when it originally aired it still made a huge impact on my child self. To this day I cringe whenever I see trash on the highways and litter in yards. Is it really too burdensome to carry your trash to a trash bin? It pretty much ruins my day when I see someone litter.

Now that my rant is over I can breathe and move on with my day haha. What are silly (or serious) things that bum you out? big kiss, bekuh

  1. Slow computers or electronics that don't work properly kill me! I've had some tantrums because of such reason.

  2. I saw someone litter the other day and I almost honked my horn at them! (Decided against it since I live in a not-so-safe city...) It makes ME wanna cry too, Native American man....

    I'm with you on the camera freezing thing-- but my entire phone starts working verrrrrrry slowly. I have to restart my phone, which takes like 4 minutes!

  3. A slow computer wastes soooo much time :( My computer was getting very slow and freezing a lot a while back, but then I got a program that optimises performance and it's so much faster now and hasn't frozen at all. I didn't think it would work, but I'm very impressed.

    This is my first winter in an area with winter rainfall and I love it so much. Rain makes me want to cuddle and read in bed and it just doesn't work when it's hot :)

  5. I hate the slow computer thing too... I've just got a brand new one, which is sooooo nice after my old one - it got to the stage where it would just freeze up with scary looking green squares all over it, or just turn itself off. I wanted to throw it at the wall. Make a plan to get a new computer :).

    Oh and keeping a secret stash of coffee in a hidden spot works, and keep a supply of long life milk in the cupboard for emergencies. Can't not have coffee!

  6. oh goodness, all these things bum me out too. definitely first world problems...and that's what i always, always try to remind myself. but that instagram bit ALWAYS happens to me! in fact, it was such an issue, i just started taking photos with the regular camera, then importing them to instagram to edit. and we definitely have a tendency to let the coffee run dry on the weekends...and i hardly ever use the milk, but my husband's heart breaks when it runs out...he eats about 5 bowls of cereal (on the conservative end) a day.

  8. I absolutely hate to see people litter. It really gets to me personally and i don't know why. I just want to scream at them and tell them that the Earth isn't a trash can!
