Looking after ourselves
The little things that bug you can add up over time.
After an exhausting day at work the other day, and a long journey home stuck in traffic, I came home to find that my partner had left a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. I felt disproportionately angry and annyoyed. REALLY angry and annonyed. Usually I can shake off little things like this, but this day I couldn't. I felt I was being irrationable and unreasonable, so I called a girlfriend. I just felt like I needed to vent about this seemingly small thing. It was so nice to hear someone say, 'it's normal to have days like these, you just got to get it off your chest'.
So this is a place to release stress about things no matter how small or big you think they are. We often hear people say that they feel like they shouldn't complain when other people are going through much tougher circumstances. But remember, it's the little things that can build up over time, which can break be the straw that break the camel's back.
So please use this space to get stuff of your chest, and release some stress. It's kind of like our own stress reduction kit.
I don't think you're asking too much @Former-Member, I'm pretty sure the council is suppose to provide bins - aren't they?
On that note, one little thing that has been bugging me, that unlike you @Former-Member, there are a few people in my neighbourhood who don't pick up after their dogs, and there are certainly bins! What is particularly bothersome is that I leave home early at about 6am to go to yoga. It is still dark at this time, and I need to walk down an alleyway that is often ridden with poopy traps that I can't see. 
Kinda ironic considering that on my way to yoga - something I do to try and feel relaxed - I find myself getting annoyed.
