I am so f*****g fed up of NT women telling me what I can and can't do.

I don't have the social skills of an NT.

I don't have the social skills of a stereotypical woman.

That does not mean I ought to have to live in an IKEA hell hole of light colours all my life.

Literally all I want is a William Morris inspired kitchen.

120,000 people in my country have died so far of The Thing Everyone's Tired of Talking About. Yet at work, whenever I try to take basic precautions, everyone acts like I'm the one being stupid. Sometimes they'll grudgingly move out of the way, sighing as they humour the idiot. Other times, I have to just give up on acting sensibly because I'd just end up trapped standing outside the office waiting to clock in for so long my pay gets docked. They're happy to stand around all crammed into tiny offices, masks down under their noses*, complaining about how Those Other People (students, Muslims or whoever) are spreading disease. I had a pretty low opinion of human intelligence even before all this. Now I think the average human being is slightly dumber than a plasmodial slime mold.

*Newsflash: the nose is connected to the lungs! Whod'a thunkit?

I'm feeling this, KT.

I can't tell you how many trades workers have been in my house for renovations and repairs, telling me I should rip out my dark wood, my hardwood, my rich-coloured fabrics, and make everything white. "You should make your french doors white. Replace all the cabinets. Get a white bookcase. We can install these bigger windows to let in more sunlight. Would you like a skylight too?" When I tell them I don't want any white (or light!) in my home they look at me like I'm insane.

Plus IKEA as a store is my idea of hell. It's a vortex of commercial communism, and I can't stand it.

Solidarity.

Whenever I go to someone's house and everything is basically just white I get so much sensory overload. I can't imagine living like that or being able to tolerate it. :?

I can't stand white anywhere, let alone in my home - it's cold, and causes sensory overload to the max.

My brother tried to get me to paint my rustic stone fireplace and hearth white. Because it's such a soothing colour when you want to watch a fire? Because it would look great with soot on it?

I just blinked in dismay and walked the other direction.

* and by the way KT -- William Morris is incredible -- I want WM wallpaper in my bedroom *

The thing I dislike about wallpaper----is the fact that it is capable of becoming rotten and falling off walls.

The new wallpapers are easily removable.

The old ones can be removed with a steamer. I like the vintage colours and the warmth they give a room.

There's nothing worse than scuffed or chipped paint, or grease marks on walls.

My experiences with steamers and wallpaper have not been good....

The b***h about painting---is that you just can't "paint"---you have to make sure you have a flat surface to paint.

Some wallpaper is nice----but when it gets bad, it gets REALLY bad......

The wallpaper I have my eye on is £125 per roll. Some of WM is over £300 a roll. I don't think most people who splurge for something that dear will allow it to start looking "really bad".

It's crazy expensive. No wonder I've put it off for ten years now. Not to mention the leaded windows I want.

New rant:
When you put the oven timer on for 8 minutes but you forget, smell fire, and discover it was set for 8 hours.

I am a coke addict (THE DRINK, not the drug). I would drink can after can of coke if it wasn't for my weight. It's not the caffeine I'm addicted to, it's the taste. Oh, that wonderful taste that I just don't get the same satisfaction with zero sugar or diet coke. The zero sugar coke doesn't seem to agree with me and the diet coke tastes too false to me. I just love the original coke, the taste is what heaven must taste like.

It seems to be normal for the media to start going on about Christmas in August which really irritates me but today a flyer has come through the door advertising a Christmas break....IT'S FEBRUARY FOR [Expletive deleted]'S SAKE.

Some people should never be allowed to be therapists.

If you want to socialize and be paid go be a sex worker or something like that.

I am not some thing to entertain people.

And that’s what I felt like I was with this therapist.

Also, I play the night of the shooting/break in over and over again in my head. And the events leading up to it.

People just disgust me.

Especially creepy old men who think they can get away with thinking they can intimidate me into doing what they want.

Sometimes YouTube people really annoy me, to the point where I want to punch them.

I like ASMR on YouTube but I can't stand whispering!! ! Who the hell thinks everyone likes whispering? And it's often done by some dumb glamorous girl with a sexy voice. Yuk. :eew: I saw a long ASMR video of someone telling some creepy facts and theories, but it was all whispers! Why can't they just speak in a calming voice instead of whispers?

Or other ASMR videos, I always have to add "no talking" when searching for the head massaging ones, otherwise you get a bunch of ones with girls whispering for an hour about God knows what. :roll:

And when I want a video tutorial about something, it always starts off with some American guy going "heyyyyy, what's up guyzzzzz how are we all doing today, welcome back to another fantastic video, please don't forget to subscribe so that you can be updated with my new videos every day, also check out my Twitter account posted in the link and my other YouTube channel and give a good thumbs up, also don't forget to post in the comments what you think of my video..."
*Clicks off the video and looks for another one that gets straight to the point* :roll:

I don't subscribe to anything because I hate being bombarded with anything. I don't even subscribe to any topics or threads here on WP. The only notifications I like to receive are text/messenger/voice messages and Facebook likes and comments. Otherwise, I keep my notifications to a minimum.

Bonus points if 20% of the video is a slightly desparate sales pitch for their sponsor, whom they don't appear to know that much about. "....and that's why I'd like to talk to you now about Nord VPN, which is a very good, er, VPN. Made by Nord! You need this-" (clicks away.)
