Life's too short for.....

[MrsFishandChips]

Lying in bed for unnecessary long periods of time. I’m on a trip to Edinburgh at the moment and my sister is hitting her 11th hour of sleep. I think I might get dressed and leave her to it

Life is too short for ...

The constant pursuit of being right.

Often times being quiet and maintaining a sense of happiness is more valuable.

 

[Ensay]

For not living your life as you want to (i.e. behaving how others want you to).

Life is too short for....

Wearing matching socks. Who cares
We regularly wear odd socks in this house simply because who has the time to pair socks

We need to start doing this, seen lots of famous peoples kids doing it too.

I spent a good half an hour matching a basket full of a weeks worth of socks for 5 people last night, I hate hate hate doing it every week. You have converted me!!!

I'm actually inspired! I now feel this acceptable and you are sooooo right, who needs to spend an extra 5 mind looking for a matching pair that no one else is going to see? thank you!

Life’s too short for caring what other people think about you. Live your life, do what you want (unless you’re planning to invade another country ).

I'm one of those sad people who irons (mostly) everything ... I don't iron underwear or teatowels, but I do fold those as soon as they come out the dryer. My main reason for ironing everything is because I like the look and feel of neatness ... and I find the ironing process itself quite relaxing (I usually pop something on TV to watch while I do it). Pillows and bedsheets especially feel incredible once they've been spritzed with lavender and ironed.

Decanting pasta, cereal etc into separate containers.

100%! Sure, it looks lovely having little matching containers all neatly labelled, but I just don't see the point. A lot of stuff comes in resealable bags; what doesn't, can easily be folded over (still in the packet), with a clothes peg to hold it in place. You also save space by not having containers.

Ironing. Haven't done it for years, don't own an iron ain't got time for that!

Low fat anything. It just makes me sad as someone else said mayo as an example, thin runny low fat mayo is just manky on a burger light cheese can get in the bin too

Looking for matching socks. Any two socks does me just fine

[SwimmingPigs]

Disliking someone you don't know (in real life) based on a rumour, or if someone else dislikes them.

 

[E84Blair]

Making your own pasta

Or puff pastry!

And folding fitted sheets (not that it can be done)

Deep cleaning the living room hardwood floor every week. I cant believe I used to do that - it's a floor, it's supposed to be dirty!
Nothing like having kids to put housework into perspective.

 

[Begborrowsteal]

Being angry. Its a horrid emotion and exhausting. It leads to bitterness. Just, accept it and move on.

and, as an added bonus, if one sock he s a hole in it, you can simply dispose of that one sock rather than the entire matching pair - because it doesn’t matter if all your socks are odd.

Decanting pasta, cereal etc into separate containers.

I’m going to have to politely disagree with you on the pasta and cereals. I recently found a support group for dealing with the never ending crisis of pantry pests. Prevention is the key to success. Keep decanting and freeze your flours after purchasing.

I don’t know what I think life is too short for. Perhaps delaying treating anxiety and/or depression with medicine. No one is handing out awards for toughing it out.

Ironing!
My mum irons literally everything! Tea towels, pants, duster, you name it. I left home thinking I had to do this too, would spend ages ironing baby vests, baby grows, bedding etc. Until I got to child 3 and though fuck this, I ain't got time for this shit. I now only iron school shirts when they need it and have more time for me

Another little tip for you, my mum only ironed the front of our school shirts and once I hit 12 she stopped completely

Bad books. I used to suffer through them for the sake of completion. Not anymore. There are too many good books out there waiting to be read.

Yes! I have a 50-pages Rule: if I don’t care by page 50, I never will.

 

[Katiekins]

Holding grudges and dwelling on the past about what can't be changed. It will eat you up inside.

Staying in a job you hate.

Worrying about what others think of you.

Staying inside all day. Go out, explore, even if it's just to breathe in the fresh air.

Keeping someone else happy but sacrificing your own happiness.

I really feels this deep!

Bad books. I used to suffer through them for the sake of completion. Not anymore. There are too many good books out there waiting to be read.

Also films that are boring and predictable, TV series etc.
