Life's Annoying Little nuisances

Crack in the front view window due to
a tiny little pebble when you drive over gravel

The kid comes home claiming someone is bullying her
I see her walking home she's crying holding on to her shoulder

I lose my temper, yell at the grandparent, the only parent around for this suspected bully
I talk to the suspects parent, and from her point of view, my kid is the suspect
the bully.  Who's telling the truth? 

Annoying little nuisance
Life you're ANNOYING!

Mother__ who's always undermining me,

After I have been paying her bills, the rent and the taxes on the house
After overachieving, graduating from college twice with honors,
keeping a job for two years, keeping a job for a year and a half

Mother is Mexican, but she more like tiger mom

Mother still not happy

I am lazy from her point of view 
I have no ambition from her point of view
My life is in shambles because I am laid off

I was "let go" I have not the money to feed her habits
to her money is equal to integrity

Hopelessly annoying Life__Life's little nuisances

But she'll still take whatever money I have! 
But "give me money" she says give money to gamble, gambling is my job
I am good at gambling.

NUISANCE 

Because I gave you life she says, "you could have been an abortion." This rings through my ears throughout my childhood and beyond! 

Annoying, abusive mother. SHOOT ME!

Lousy Partner in class assignment, next

Chapter project presentation for training for teachers

He doesn't even read the chapter.
Makes up his own power point.
He wants to change everything at the last minute

After which I read the whole chapter, I worked my ideas through and did the work
After which I e-mailed him and contacted him several times to tell me or give me something
NOOOOOOO, completely inconsiderate. Inconsiderate of what grade either of us get.

And he argues with me about who is going first in front of the whole class.

Meanwhile my child sits in on this class because I don't know which one is the bully?
Who's telling the truth?

Annoying 
              nuisances 
                            horrid, horrid, horrid. Painstakingly horrid! 

Life you're so annoying sometimes.
