Every Monday, Paula Light, with her The Monday Peeve prompt, gives us an opportunity to vent or rant about something that pisses us off. I actually have two peeves to share with you today.
Peeve #1
On October 1st I received my first Christmas catalog in the mail. I believe it was from Frontline, but I may be mistaken. This first Christmas catalog arrived two and three quarter months before Christmas. Since then, I’ve have been getting at least three Christmas catalogs a day in the mail. What a waste of paper, of ink, and of the backs of the mail carriers. C’mon, sellers. I have a computer. I have a smartphone with internet access. I buy almost everything except groceries online. I don’t need or want your freakin’ Christmas catalogs that go directly from my mailbox to my recycle bin. They do not pass go; they do not collect $200. STOP SENDING ME CHRISTMAS CATALOGS.
Peeve #2
It’s been six months since I was fitted with hearing aids. The audiologist said it would take three to four months for my brain to acclimate to hearing through hearing aids. And he was right. What he didn’t tell me was that once my brain acclimated to hearing with hearings aids, hearing without hearing aids would be much worse.
I generally don’t put my hearing aids on until after I shower and get dressed. As a retiree, that might not be until 9 or 10 in the morning. And that means that when my wife is talking to me in the early morning, most of what she says is muffled beyond recognition. Well, at least until she yells at me to “go put on your fucking hearing aids.” That I can hear.
This, That, and the Other 
Garry can’t even hear THAT.

That is so sweet that she cares about you wanting to hear what she says.

True bummer, that your audiologist didn’t warn-tell you.

My hubby also has hearing aids, and that’s exactly what I say to him. Although I am slightly deaf (I think) and when he speaks to me, I haven’t heard a word he has said, especially when he is behind me.

I sympathize with the suds. I haven’t had them yet but know it’s coming because I am immortal after all.😂

My mailbox is now crammed with garbage from politicians every day. Do they really think anyone votes based on their annoying ads? We all just stuff it unread into the recycling box 😡😡😡

Save the trees, the ink, and the mailcarriers’ backs (although my own up here? Couldn’t find their own asshole with lube and a stick, stupid mo/fo that they are). I’m sick of the endless junk mail too. Why hasn’t someone used that as a platform to get elected? Oh right. The same reason we continue on and on with Daylight Savings Time. Archaic old fools make the laws, although they haven’t been in touch with their constituents nor even planet Earth since Christ was in diapers.

We have a ‘No advertising mail accepted’ sticker on our letterbox. Works a treat. Can’t you get one of these? By law we still have to get election things……

I agree with you about the catalogs. Why do they waste so much paper when no one needs them.

Not temping to me. I dump them in the recycling bin before I even get back into my house.

My daughter did the same. Over here they never bother with catalogs. Just emails

Saves trees, at least.

Yes, that they do. It’s easy to delete email with a swipe
