I only ever scream about things that are frustrating but feel as if they should be easy.
I think I'd generally tend to agree with this, but love-life difficulties do often seem to count in that category for me. Not because having a functioning love life has ever been easy for me, but because so much of the rest of the world seems to have so much less trouble with it than I do – and in particular feels free to organise delivery companies, utility companies, food packaging etc in the assumption that people without a (sometimes stay-at-home) partner aren't worth worrying about – that I do tend to see it as something that ought to be easy, or at least something whose failure to be easy for me is an injustice or unfairness of some sort.
Many people for whom it is easy to achieve a partner also find it very difficult to understand, for example, why they never have any money despite going to every sale they can find, and why you shouldn't use gaffer tape as the sole means of holding your bathroom together.
But... using gaffer tape to hold your bathroom together is supported by a star wars pun. Nothing supported by a star wars pun could ever be ill-considered!
Yeah. If it feels like people are assuming something automatically, it feels like it must be really obvious. Else wouldn't they have considered it a bit more carefully? Rather than being the first idea to come to mind and not re-examined (which is understandable, you can't examine *everything* in detail, but unhelpful).
And I find my major frustrations (rather than, say, true pain, of which I have little) is the clash between those assumptions...
But this always makes me annoyed at the delivery people, rather than the dating. Which generally involves someone I care enough about that the emotions are serious, good or bad, but not frustrating... :)
