Mid-year grievances (2025)

 1. When people you know in person are using that skinny filter on social media. 

2. I don't think anyone under a certain age should be in a two piece bathing suit. I don't know what that age is, really, but I feel like there should be an age requirement.

3. I think tattoos are almost never a good idea. Not never. Almost never. Okay, 99.9% of the time. 

4. There are few first-world problems worse than wanting to eat homemade cookies and realizing the recipe you found says "chill overnight". 

5. It's that time of year when the teachers are making their Amazon wishlists and, with no shame in sight, school districts are posting them online and asking the community to "help out". I made one last year because they asked me to so they could advertise it. Guess how much I received? Nothing. Ended up buying what I wanted myself. Schools should be run more like a business and less like a charity. 

6. I have previously stated that Blue Bunny is trash ice cream. Here's why: It's considered a frozen dairy dessert. They can't even label it as "ice cream". My favorite ice creams come from Walmart, but I was looking around at the commissary the other day. 

7. My former school is banning cell phones during the school day. Parents, per usual, are having a normal one. 

This is after a teacher from Bentonville, Arkansas commented on how good banning phones has been for their district:

John seems special.

8. Lastly: people who have aggressive dog breeds. I don't get the point. Don't be talking about your "rotty" and your "pitty". 

What's your biggest MOY (middle of year, in teacher language) complaint?
