For the sake of time and attention, I'll just jump right in. I'd say stop me if you need, but well, you can't, so here goes...
1) Filters. When the filters are stronger than my coffee, what's up with that?! I mean I get that it helps your selfies, I guess I get that it helps your self esteem, but what about when you meet someone IRL? Does it really help your self esteem? What does it say that the paint we call makeup is not enough for your face to feel pretty? I'm sure it's quite pretty, too! Don't y'all feel fake? No? Mmmmk.
2) Workforce Grumpies. Job misery loves company--well not MY company. This goes for people that are customer-facing, or me-facing as a coworker. We spend too much time at work to be miserable, and let me tell you--I am too fragile. I'll legit get in a funk over your funk, so no thank you, grumpy pants. Keep that s*** to yourself, I'll be in company of positive folks only.
3) Doctor Logic Fail. The DCI (discharge instructions) go like this: 'diagnosis/symptoms of x, y, and z. Please contact us/come in right away if you experience x, y, or z.' I'm sorry, whaaaaat?! I can't with you people. Med school does not teach common sense, people. As a nurse, nuff said about this one. This is why I only go to the doctor if I have a solid SBAR (some of y'all know what that means). It stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation. What I'm saying is, I'll only go to the doctor if I know a) what my diagnosis is, and b) what do I need from him/her. *this is not in any way shape or form medical advice. Call your provider if you are concerned about anything health related.*
4) Follow 4 Follow. The romantic comedy of social media, like what is this, an episode of Friends?! I don't want follows, but real interest/engagement/customers! All we're doing is swiping right on your ego, not your content, and your content is meh, it's just the follow game that's strong.
5) Weekend Wishes. My weekend vibe--chaos. thanks for noticing--NOT. Stop wishing nurses, retail workers, most everybody I know a good weekend. I have worked every weekend for years. You wanna be nice? Wish me a happy Monday and Tuesday, how about that. Your 'have a good weekend,' is like a passive aggressive slap to my face.
