I get more SPAM calls than real calls. Which sounds sad, but it's HOW I know it's SPAM, everyone knows to text me.

One of my FWPs, school zones where you slow down to a crawl, often with no kids around.

Every time my husband reads one, he remarks, "I don't know who any of these people are."
Me neither. I flipped through a People while in a waiting room a couple months ago. On second thoughts I recognized a few. Very few.

We are moving so we are selling a bunch of stuff on Craig's List. I do NOT understand the people who text you "is X still available" and I text back "yes" in literal minutes and you never hear from them again. If it were once or twice no biggie, but it happens ALL the time. I do not understand this.

Have I complained about guys hitting on you via Words With Friends? Is this a thing? Did someone write this in a book as a good idea? In the past 6 months there has always been at least one guy a week. This isn't a humble brag, I have a suspicion this is the nerd equivalent to a Nigerian Prince.

I wrote, "submariness" up in my last post because I am so doggone wealthy that I can just throw extra letters around like confetti. I hate typing on my phone.

My husband and I are traveling and the hotel we are in doesn't have a coffee maker in the room! I can't even believe it. Isn't that so strange? The rest of the room is nice. There's a fridge, microwave, wifi, nice furniture...no coffee.

GIRL. I have the same freaking problem with Words With Friends. And I am in my 50s and a grandmother! It is the weirdest thing. I just block them the minute they get weird (which is usually pretty quickly). It makes me only want to play games with people I know. I mean, I have about a gazillion games going so it's not like I have to accept these game requests. Look, jerkwad - all I want to do with you is play Words With Friends. THAT IS IT. Is that too much to ask?

Maybe the hotel is TOO NICE. I mean it. My husband and I stayed at a resort last year on the Outer Banks. I mean, a bona fide resort. It was a big splurge. They didn't have coffee makers in the rooms - they expected their guests to not have to make coffee, but to just go get some. But the problem was - they didn't make coffee till 7 AM. Well, we get up pretty early. All I wanted was a cup of dang coffee when I got up - and actually I didn't want to have to get dressed or half way presentable to get it either.

Talk about counter productive. And what REALLY made me mad was that we said something about it and they still didn't make it any earlier.

Then we went to Sedona on vacation a few months ago and it was THE SAME THING. Except this time, wow, talk about a trek to the dining room - it seemed like it was MILES to the dining room for a cup of coffee. Very irritating. It was a super nice room too. So I'm wondering if your room is "too nice." Which is definitely a First World Problem.

^THIS. Always from a Houston number, for some reason. And of course, daily calls from my same area code, I guess trying to scam me. I never answer. Nobody ever calls me anymore unless they're trying to sell me, collect a debt (I don't have a debt issue), or scam me.

I had insomnia (damn menopause!) and was awake at 4 in the morning. I thought about using the hotel pool- not open until 7. No coffee until 7, either! I sat, all disgruntled, thinking of ways to make other people miserable. Ha! I think your theory is correct, even though it didn't really seem like that high falutin' of a place. Fair to middlin'.
