Looking for a job.

I suck at interviews since I don't bullshit ("Why do you want this job at WageSlaveEmporium?" "Uhhh... I need the money?"), and hate filling out tons of redundant paperwork, ironing clothes, and shaving.

Unavoidable fights/confrontations

Sitting through mass or other boring and pointless ceremonies

Vomiting or pissing/shitting yourself in public

Cleaning a bathroom

Sitting through a terrible band

Missing a great band

Supermarket shopping when you're really fucking hungry

Sitting through power outages

Complaining to a neighbour about noise/rubbish/whatever.

Totally!

Appealing to the fucking medical school to let you stay on, so you don't end feeling like you've wasted the last 4 years of your life...

Having a fiver to buy all your weekly food, and not knowing how much you'v got comming in next week.

Being £700 in arears... and looking at court action...

Which reminds me, I need to find a job/ sign on, and sharpish...

Feeding your great grandmother with a syringe and cleaning her bedsores until she finally passes away is pretty heavy. You will probably have to do something similar one day...

Sort of puts things in perspective.

I was going to say something similar. Getting that call that gets your power of attorney kicking in and immediately changes everything about your routine for the next x amount of time. Fortunately, this is also one of the most gratifying things you will do in your lifetime.

Yes, it is. I don't know how I would have handled shipping her into a home and getting a letter. Probably not very well. Our current culture has weird values concerning older folks...

All my older relatives seem to have snuffed-it due to heart attacks, and I can't think of any who got to this stage. I suppose I'm kind of lucky in that respect as it must be really bad.

Dealing with all family member's illnesses can be a fucker - alzheimers, schizophrenia, etc.

Another shit thing to deal with in life is paranoia and general mental illness in whatever severity. I think most people experience mental illness at some point. Paranoia and "the fear" are totally shit, although I suppose can be avoided in some situations.

Having diarrhea is pretty annoying.

Flatmates. They can be annoying in so many ways.

Finding a significant other all the rest of it seems not so much hard as tedious it's already pretty mapped out for you.
Maybe it's cause I'm good at reading and socially retarded but I've managed to do everything but get a date.
except "Being stuck in Atlanta for any amount of time sucks." try 18 years of my life!
