Today's rant: domestication

The following is a list of household micro-annoyances that I need to jot down somewhere, else they may fester in my soul until I unleash them on unsuspecting family members:

- When I do laundry for my kids, I put my oldest kid's sweatshirts on clothes hangers.  They then proceed to take the sweatshirt and put it on their floor or drape it on the chair in their room.  Apparently, the hanger was not a big enough clue to use the closet.

- Resting toilet paper rolls on top of finished cardboard rolls is a thing that my family members do.  I guess it is up to me to remove the cardboard cylinder to recycle it and place the new roll properly on the dispenser.

The primary reason I hate Tik Tok is because when there is background music for the video being played, the video loops back to the beginning without the music syncing up.  So what ends up happening is my partner will hypothetically be watching a makeup hack, and Lizzo will be playing in the background.  "I do my hair toss, check my nails.  Baby how you feelin'?  I FEEL GOOD AS HELL!  Hair toss, check my nails.  Baby how y...(loop) I do my hair toss, check my nails.  Baby how you feelin'?  I FEEL GOOD AS HELL!  Hair toss, check my nails.  Baby how y...(loop) I do my hair toss..."  My brain cannot process any new input or stimulus for quite a while.  My base instinct tells me to grab a claw hammer and eliminate the source of the disturbance.

- Our washing machine is a top-loader, and I am the only one tall enough to reach in to take wet clothes out to put them in the dryer.  My back muscles are angry with me.

Ok, here's my goddamn opinion about the Israel-Hamas war:  Hamas needs to be wiped off the face of the earth and Netanyahu needs to face war crimes charges for bombing civilians and aide workers.
