Things That Are Enjoyable But Horrible (r/AskReddit)

kitty wants to make sure that you do what you love what do you love doing but hate succeeding in taking a long nice nap but then realizing you slept for three hours and won't be able to fall asleep tonight i have found my people i cannot nap if i fall asleep on the couch or chair it's four hours minimum then i can't get to sleep i can't nap either but for the opposite reason if i do actually manage to fall asleep in the daytime i wake up feeling sick and sweaty and feel like crap until the next day so i avoid napping eating the entire pack of cookies me after seeing the empty packet of cookies that was supposed to last the week dough and after you get the dough you turn it into cookies it's the circle of life work ethic i like getting work done with time to spare i hate that this puts me in a position of getting more work to do without any of the benefits i used to work with a guy who would finish his part of our projects and release his progress slowly over time i remember calling him once and he was working on his home automation setup apparently he had completed his portion of our project a month ago and would just give me the pieces i needed when i asked for them so no one would give him additional work that's ducking incredible yeah he was a pretty remarkable guy clearly more talented than the rest of the team but you would never know it until you asked for his input there was another guy on the team who wanted to appear to be the smartest one in the room all the time and occasionally he would try to question the quiet guy to make him look stupid and it would always end up with the quiet guy casually making the a hole look like an idiot not even maliciously just factually needless to say i was impressed with quiet guy the best part is i don't think quiet guy even realized that a whole was competing with him it was like autism was his superpower there is always a moment towards the end of a video game where you have to decide to finish the main mission beat the final boss and lose interest man final fantasy 8 decided to finish the game before completing everything i remember it feeling anti-climatic during the credits because i wish to have a game back but for some reason beating it took that away i miss those rpgs no time these days well you did it you got the black head your chin is a mess now happy spoiler not really reading books especially good books for the first time you're on a journey have no idea where the endies at some point it's over and you know you'll never experience that book the same way again there are other very rare books where knowing the end or key bits of information make the second or third read just as good astronomer here some years ago i was involved in a program that scanned the night sky searching for near-earth asteroids that would hit the earth someday it was super fun especially if you find an asteroid but yeah you really don't want to find an asteroid on collision course that will kill us all or do you hey what are you doing with that gigantic magnet i work for a lawyer and so i like winning court cases it's good to see your client get a good result from the judge or jury most of the cases i work on are family law or divorce cases i enjoy the work i like helping people but no one really wins in those cases i can't really congratulate someone on the destruction of their marriage so while i'm happy to see each case concluded it's sad because that family is destroyed in the process the family was already destroyed and you're just picking up what's left in an orderly manner playing fighting games my friends constantly whine at me if i win because you're more experienced it's not fun and i'm not good enough to enter tournaments either i'm in a weird limbo it's the same with me and my wife i'm not good enough to play in a tournament but i'm so far above her it's not funny i can't lose unless i do so intentionally my thinking is that is quite possible for a bad player to get better but it's hard for a good player to get worse graphic design i love doing it but as soon as people find out you do it for a job they automatically need your help in building their website slash making a logo for their idea slash editing photos etc i wouldn't mind this but like maybe pay me for this skill i learned and got a degree in they always assume it's free for some reason i'm totally willing to pay your rates are the same as random teenagers on fever though right you get paid in exposure which will get you more jobs which also pay an exposure i hear you can die from too much exposure i had a coworker who asked me to fix his computer it was needed for work so i was down we met for breakfast and you'd bought and gave me some cash i fixed it in seconds and told him i'd feel bad being paid for how little i did he said i'm not paying for how much work you put in i'm paying for the knowledge you have more people need to be like him lol getting fat it's so much fun on the way there but being there sucks and i immediately want to leave right especially once you get back on the healthy train and for the first three weeks ago you have motivation and inspiration then you hit the wall of okay this is no longer new and interesting do i really have to keep doing this the rest of my life guess who's sitting on the couch trying to get up and work out procrastinating fun fact humans aren't the only species that procrastinate pigeons do too found this out once when i was supposed to be studying so when i procrastinate at work by staring at pigeons the pigeons were also procrastinating by staring at me swimming cause if i do good at morning swim events i have to go back in the afternoon this comment encapsulates my relationship with competitive swimming better than i have ever been able to articulate i haven't been a competitive swimmer for 15 years and i still have nightmares about missing my heat every few months sudoku the more i succeed the more boring it gets building software that sounds fun to build or that people would be interested in using i like making the software but i don't like providing support for people to use it which is inevitable if other people are interested in it letting my kids win at mario kart just to be clear i love the idea of letting them win but it pains me to actually do it raising dogs by the time they old enough to be sold to a new home you love them to death and it's hard to let go that's why i couldn't have puppies i'd find them a good home for sure mine making babies telling stories proving people wrong i feel alive in the moment but once i've complete and people laugh it's over and it's a letdown i do a lot of wood carvings faces bodies animals smoking pipes and so on you spend a lot of time doing it just to make it perfect but when you're done it's like oh i'm done i gotta give you away now it's like giving away a part of yourself i feel the same way about knitting it takes forever the materials are expensive and you know the other person isn't going to enjoy it anywhere near as much as you because they are not invested i love the process of knitting but i've decided to only knit for myself my husband and my daughter to save my self time and heartache i love making and selling cake slash baked goods but i'd read every order because it means more social interactions take the cake and go away hi hi hi hi i i love working on cars but sometimes hate being real good at it when your whole family buys junkers knowing you can fix them cheap the phone never stops this is also why i do not own a cell phone lol drinking i love the taste of alcohol beer whiskey bourbon gin whatever i love all alcohol but i hate getting drunk because i act like a clown and spend money impulsively
