What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Sounds like the first week of airborne school. Once you get done running 5 miles, now fall on your ass 3000 times, while keeping your head from hitting the ground with this heavy-ass kevlar helmet on.

As much as I liked the thought of jumping from planes, I was like, "Nope." To both the running and the falling.

Does it go away as the day wears on? Do drugs/icy hot/heating pads help? If the answer to those is yes, it may be time for a new mattress or a new pillow.

Yes it does, just while it lasts it hurts like a MOFO and it mostly happens when I haven't had a full night's sleep.

In the mean time I am in a LOT OF FUCKING PAIN

Could also be stress-based with all of your job worries ... probably can't afford to see a chiropractor, I'd imagine?

Can't afford much of anything at the rate my money's dwindling.

Really starting to worry I'll have to cancel my gym membership which I absolutely do not want to do, especially with spring & summer on the way.

Thankfully they're not hardasses about it. I mean, it's an introductory college course, once a week. But yeah, they do emphasize the "keep your neck forward so you don't die" thing.

It's a pretty basic thing you need to learn in Judo to not horrifically injure each other in training: how to fall safely.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Well that's the same as in Airborne school, learn how to fall properly so you don't break your legs. So I understand why they had us do them, tt was still really annoying to do though.

How many pillows do you use?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

just 1. I prefer 2 or 3 but eh...

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

If you lay (lie?) on your side use two, if you're on your back use one. I used to use 2 all the time and it eventually caused a pinched nerve that made me want to gnaw off my arm. It's probably a combination of sleeping in an odd position and stress (like Aks said).

I have a memory foam pillow, much better for you and also a smll pillow to go between my knees as a back pain sufferer it helps and also a pillow at your chest to stop you curling up into a fetal position which puts strain on your spine over time.

I got in the habit of needing a pillow under my stomach when I was pregnant, 10 years later I'm still hugging a pillow in order to sleep comfortably.

I sleep like a cat...

i.e. I fidget quite a bit (and apparently kick in my sleep occasionally) before finally falling asleep. I'm actually really cat-like in general (mannerisms, not appearance sadly >.>) truth be told. Dunno why o.O (friends & family have all said as much to me).

My matress is old now though and kinda rough, pillow's not terribly soft anymore either and I needs me soft pillows

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Try flipping the mattress since you can't afford to replace it. Some mattresses only have one up side (mine is like that), and if yours is like that too, instead of flipping it top to bottom, you could rotate it 180 degrees and that might help some, as I think the parts of the mattress closer to the headboard will take the most abuse because there is more weight on them.

Pillows you might just have to bite the bullet on.

This is all I can think of, now.
