It’s funny how much I related. Amazing write

Ron Del Duca's avatar

and I thought I was the only one that felt these exact same things.. great post... i'm still laughing.. .. here's another.. people who answer your question with 'what?' before they give the answer. Exhausting

JoJo's avatar

Hahaha I’m laughing because I totally do that, seee I knew I’d be on someone’s list.. I say what and then my brain registers 😂😂

Amazing!

Sally Hansen's avatar

Great read! Thanks for sharing your rant so beautifully. A lot of it resonates!

JoJo's avatar

Ah thanks Sally, I appreciate you 🫶🫶

The Journal of Rooted Growth's avatar

Wow loved this! Totally agree on every one of these 😅

JoJo's avatar

Haha yeyyyyy I do love to find other people who also despise the thumbs up.. let’s start a club 🤭

The Journal of Rooted Growth's avatar

Also the people that wave you on at the four-way when they clearly arrived first, like if you went already you wouldn't be wasting both of our time or those that speed up when there's a passing line and you know they're going to go back down to under the regular speed limit so You have to speed up another 20 mph to pass them. Those are probably more Seinfeld moments lol

JoJo's avatar

And you’re both just sat there like 20 minutes like you go.. no you go.. and then you BOTH go 😂😂

Bethany's avatar

Haha! This was funny. The 👍 hit hard!

JoJo's avatar

Ahh thank you, I’m so glad that one resonated with you because it actually kills my soul. Like every time 🫠😂

Bethany's avatar

The thumbs up …but also “k” or “ok.” …

JoJo's avatar

‘Ok’ is so brutal.

like, not even an emoji 🤷‍♀️

This is annoyingly relatable because half the time it’s not even the big betrayals that get you, it’s the tiny, stupid little things that make you want to lose your mind. The older I get, the less patient I am with people acting like basic communication is some kind of optional luxury. Turns out “laid back” is often just code for “already tired of everyone’s nonsense.”

JoJo's avatar

Done pretending that I am here for anybody’s shit anymore 😂

Valerie.. What’s on your list? 👀

Valerie Beliard's avatar

Oh my God 😅 at this point the shortest answer would be what is not on your list?? I’m ready to move to Mars if Elon Musk makes it inhabitable.

JoJo's avatar

😂😂 give me some, I can guarantee they piss me off too

Omg. Petition to make THIS a thing

Valerie Beliard's avatar

Yes!!! 😂🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😭 let me write them on my notes because there is so many to choose from and I’ll tell you my top 10.

LaNiedra Chaney's avatar

Jojo this was an interesting take on what goes on in your mind. The whole time I could relate and was cracking up the whole time.😂😂

JoJo's avatar

Haha interesting read.. did you just backhand compliment me? 😉😂

Joking girl 😘

Thank you 🙏 my mind is a bit of a weird one at times but to have someone take it for what it is (a bit of ranty silliness) is really lovely, so thank you ☺️

LaNeidra.. come join my WhatsApp, no pressure but like definitely come 😂😂

LaNiedra Chaney's avatar

Girl, no that was not a back handed compliment. I love your charismatic personality. I will checkout your WhatsAop group and join. Thank you for the invite. 🤗

JoJo's avatar

I know.. 😘

Yey! Can’t wait to see youuuu ❤️

LaNiedra Chaney's avatar

I joined. I hope it was the right group.

JoJo's avatar

🥳 can you see a pinned message? (Ramble from me).. I add one every week and then tomorrow on ‘what’s on the table’ it’s basically a free for all.. anything that’s rolling around your mind.. that’s the space 🥰

Sooo happy to have you 🫶🫶

LaNiedra Chaney's avatar

Yes. The “Welcome to the Community”.

Shaunna Lee's avatar

The backhanded compliments!! I once had a mother-in-law (I’ve had 3) tell me “I could never be so brave” when I died my hair. I felt smacked in the face at the time, but I think she was being completely honest. Dying hair to her did take bravery. (And it was likely a terrible color on me) 😜

JoJo's avatar

Hahaha mother in laws am I right?! 🙄😂

The other day someone told me my trainers were interesting.. there’s nothing interesting about trainers, just tell me you hate them haha

Anastasia || Unfiltered's avatar

😂😂😂 You crack me up. I cannot with you!! Yes to all of the above! Probably not the laid back type myself, although I think I am and that’s all that counts! The person who says I have something to tell you….and me waiting for days….and then when I finally get to talk to them, they say, oh nevermind now….like mf, speak! Or don’t….at all, ever!

JoJo's avatar

Oh my god don’t!!! Oh it doesn’t matter now? Tell my anxiety that haha.

It gives me actual joy to know I’m not alone in my closet non laid back ness 😂😂🫶

Anastasia || Unfiltered's avatar

Oh no, if anyone was honest, it would be crowded in your closet!

JoJo's avatar

I think you might be right, we’d need probably 2-3 closets to hold all these feelings

Anastasia || Unfiltered's avatar

Yes, huge ones, ceiling to floor

JoJo's avatar

😂😂😂

Scott Fasano's avatar

You had me at number one. It’s the new “k”.

JoJo's avatar

Ugh.

It’s just pure lazy. Or rude. Or both.

Danielle Shroyer's avatar

The thumbs-up triggers me more than it should…it makes me crazy. But, I can really relate to all of these…except the I love kids part, I’m not really a big fan. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

JoJo's avatar

A little bitch slap every time isn’t it.

And it’s always the same ones 🙄

My Own Miracle's avatar

Hi Jo 👋 Can I tell you about this awesome…

I’m kidding, I’m kidding! I don’t like how pointy pitch forks are!

I felt every part of your list in my bones 😝 especially the interrupted conversations! Why is it the second my phone rings, my otherwise chill kids suddenly need to tell me 4 stories, with 8 backstories, just to actually tell me they want a glass of water they could have poured themselves…

I swear I’m laid back AF 🤣

JoJo's avatar

Oh we’re all laid back (Terms and conditions apply) 😂😂

I know right. Mine just stand there for a full 20 minutes, at least they know not to interrupt me haha.

You feel free to insert yourself into the list.. I’m waiting for someone to make me feel less dramatic…

Man With No Name's avatar

It’s not that often that I don’t really know what to respond. I would agree that this message doesn’t give off the vibe of someone who is overly “laid back” but I’m also a tad scared to say too much more than that. But it was an unexpected read for a Saturday morning but it would also be a lie to say I didn’t very enjoy it. So yes. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day 🫶☘️🚀

JoJo's avatar

I am laid back.. as long as all conditional terms are met first 😂😂

We all have a list, I’m just done pretending otherwise.

Good morning to you Mr ☺️
