A few years back in one of the places I worked in one of my coworkers would always complain every time I could leave work early. Why did she complain? Her argument was that I was going home to sleep and play video games while she had to cancel plans to hang out with her friends cuz she had to work. In her eyes my free time was less valuable than hers as she was trying to build stronger bonds with her friend while I was being lazy. Well screw her and anyone like her. As an introvert that’s what I like doing and I do spend time with friend when playing video games. Friends I’ve probably known longer than she’s known hers! If she wanted to spend so much time with her friends so much then she shouldn’t work. Easy solution. Instead of criticizing someone else’s free time. Every time she would get with that bs I’d simply look her in the eyes and tell her my free time is just as valuable as hers and I didn’t give a flying fuck about her opinion on that matter.
Another one that annoys me is when people say I only have a lot of free time because I live with my mother and she does everything for me. First of all, my mother doesn’t do everything for me. She only does her laundry and mine and cleans the house. She works from home so she can do all these things as she works and it ends up being more convenient. I spend over 40 hours going back and forth from my job and then actually being there so I don’t spend a lot of time at home. I eat at work so I don’t have to cook at home unless it’s my days off at which point I do actually cook. I’m the one that does the heavy grocery shopping since I love going grocery shopping and I buy enough food to last us for a month. Gas and going to the bank are things I do when I leave work or before I get to work. I’ve learned to manage my time around my work schedule so that when the weekend comes around I don’t have to leave the house at all and can spend those two days being a couch potato. And even on those days off I tend to be the one cooking and will clean a bit around the house and vacuum my room as I do have three very messy hamsters and one messy cat. So don’t come to me like “you have all that time because you live with your mom and she does everything for you!” I just know how to manage my free time. And I pay any bills I have online. Normally through auto pay. I’m also not the type of person to buy clothes or shoes or any of those things and if I do buy them it’s online. I have amazon prime after all.
Bottom line is, I don’t like people that criticize what I do on my free time or don’t do. You aren’t paying my bills or fucking me so your opinion is irrelevant and I will put you in your goddamn place of “mind your own fucking business”. ☺️ And even if you are fucking me or are even a family member I’ll still tell you where to shove that annoying opinion of yours. I’m managing my life perfectly well and you should learn to do the same 👀
