Consumerism. I don't want or need anything but family are still going to get me stuff for christmas

Edit: Christmas in general shits me. Not because I hate christmas, I just hate everything that goes along with it.

I find the present exchange thing nice (though I wish that there was more consideration for reusable wrapping), but the hyper focus on disposable Christmas merchandise irks me a bit. Why not just buy/sell chocolate/lollies rather than Santa shaped ones which are less likely to be sell-able after the 25th?
Are single use plastic decorations really necessary?

I completely agree. One thing my famoly does is give voucher for things like "dinner and a movie" or a game of laser tag, so things you can have fun doing without getting more things.

Another option is Oxfam Unwrapped or something similar. Essentially the person gives a donation used to buy a goat for a family in Africa or something, and you get a card saying what has been tonated on your belhalf.

It's nice that your family wants to give you presents, so maybe by suggesting this they will be more accepting that you don't want material things.

^Yeah I’m definitely trying to get them to do that. In the past I end up with at least some stuff anyway. I asked them not to wrap my presents (we have sacks so there’s no need to wrap them for secrecy or anything) and they essentially told me to get fucked so I’m not holding out much hope haha

I was about to go to sleep last night, but I heard a mosquito. I decided to turn on the lights beside me to see where it was. Turns out there were two of them. Cocooned myself in my blankets and decided to strike if they got close. Got one but couldn’t find the other one. There was a stain where I killed the first mosquito and I’m pretty sure the second mosquito saw it as a warning because it decided to stay well away from my striking range. After about an hour, I decided to give up and sleep when bzzzz... the second mosquito was right up in my ear, scaring the wits out of me. It was teasing me! And it had the bravado to come so close to my ear after avoiding me that whole time. Worse still, I let it go free because I was so tired. It’s probably waiting to get its revenge after I killed its mosquito brethren.

Because I hate that so much, I went to buy this. Much more peaceful sleeps. (No regrets.)

The many millions of ads I'm getting from universities right now. Spotify, facebook, instagram etc. Especially when I'm trying to listen to music and I hear 'Didn't get the ATAR you wanted?...' And I'm just thinking, why can't you let me forget. I literally don't need it anymore. I keep reminding myself you're already in but these ads just ugggh

Netflix auto-playing film trailers when I just leave it on the main screen. It keeps playing a trailer for this horror movie, which irritates so much because I am a wuss when it comes to horror movies!!

In the commercial advertisement edition of "Things that shit Aaron", please enjoy the three latest things to seriously shit me:

Spoiler

"Things that shit me" #1: The face of the Ford commercials

Spoiler

"Things that shit me" #2: The models in the couch commercials who are overly excited and happy to be sitting on a couch alone. When they aren't sitting on the couch, they're walking in a completely random direction which makes no logical sense.

Spoiler

"Things that shit me" #3: The Chanel advertisement.. I don't even know why. Everytime it comes on my brain spasms.

When you get old you start to value sleep more. So I hate it when it's the summer break and I wake up much earlier than intended to, and can't fall back asleep again.

It amazes me how rude and stupid customers can be.

Scenario A from my shift today:

> Customer asks for me to grab him a toothpaste
> I offer to give him the direction to the dental section
> Customer says no, he wants someone to grab it for him (for no explanation why he can’t walk over to the dental section)
> I tell him I can’t leave the tills as I’m not allowed to step out of my boundary
> Customer gets mad
> I ask a co-worker to grab a box of toothpaste for this customer
> Co-worker takes about a minute to get the product as the dental hygiene section is on the other side of the store
> Customer gets mad that its taking so long
> Customer asks me if I could deliver the toothpaste to him to the coffee shop down the road (where he will be heading off later) and flings me a $10 bill
> I give back the money and say I can’t leave the shop as it is my workplace
> Customer starts swearing at me
> Co-worker gives the customer the toothpaste
> Customer throws the toothpaste and $10 at me
> When I’m done serving him, he leaves the shop.

What’s worse that I was on my lunch break and I was walking to Mad Mex and I saw him in the coffee shop and he gave me a death stare.

Honestly so terrifying and it has ruined my day. Can’t believe people like them exist.
