I work from home, so lately I've been annoyed by my partner cutting into my work time by staying up later and later even though she gets up early for her job. Maybe I'm being unreasonable, but I really can't deal with listening to her talking to people on chat while I'm trying to write. There's nowhere else to go and my headphones don't even drown it out. I don't bother her at work. I'm sure someone will ask why I don't write during the day. And that's because her mom lives with us and she never leaves me alone. I have no fucking time to myself.
Maybe you should sit down with your partner and her mother to have a serious talk. Start by asking if it is a good thing that you are bringing in money to put food on the table and pay bills? Then point out it takes most people 15 minutes to get back to their working speed prior to being interrupted.
People who drive phone-in-hand - some watching videos, some texting about text messages - all are bad, distracted drivers who over-estimate their competence behind the wheel, and under-estimate the damage to the other party of colliding with a pedestrian, bicyclist, or woman pushing a baby stroller.
Neighbors mowing their lawn more often than needed. Noise pollution and a waste of resources. I mean really, every third day? C'mon man!
Then again, I'm doing a double fake: me pretending to look like Doris Day.....who's pretending to look like Calamity Jane. Heck, I'd ban all 3 of us.
Food shopping with my husband . I have to hand the the checkout person empty packets for them to scan, he walks round the supermarket opening stuff and eating it , we are going to get in trouble one day.
The extent of the television schedules that have been altered and devoted to Mrs Windsor - I'm so p*ssed off !!!
