    Scorponok_rules My mom stays on me to see a doc about every little thing, but when I mention her seeing a doc for serious issues she has(years long cough, yellowing skin, excessive weight loss, near complete lack of appetite), she says she's not going to see a quack. This woman hasn't seen a doctor in years. near 20

    Lazy Tadpole_9691 My mom just pops by whenever she pleases, without calling or texting first. The middle of a workday? Doesn't matter, she'll stop by and expect to chat. She's also really judgmental, so she'll judge me if my house isn't spotless. Lady, if you want my house to be clean, you need to give me some notice that you're stopping by.

    McFlyyouBojo News. They HAVE to watch the 6:00 local news, then the national news at 6:30, and THEN the world news from 7:00 to 8:00. It's frustrating when you can look news up on your phone these days, and the world news is pretty much gonna repeat the national news. Everything has to stop for this. Would be nice to listen to music instead during dinner. Or watch jeopardy

    ParkAvePigeon My mom has a tendency to answer her phone or make a phone call in the middle of a conversation, no warning, no heads-up. I'd be mid-sentence and she'll just start making a phone call. Infuriating!
