Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 152

Yeah in this new post-covid world (not that it’s gone but yeah…) working at a place where we will be remote at least 50% of the time I expect everyone to absolutely utilize that feature if they even THINK they’re sick. Like, why the fuck would you not. No one is gonna get mad because you play precautions with a deadly disease and you can work from home and you do it 2-3 days a week anyway!

I guarantee there will be days I’m supposed to be in the office and say I’m under the weather when I’m not now that (at least the company I work for) preaches tolerance for working from home / staying home when you’re not feeling well

 

Yep - even if I had the leave, management gets mad if you use Sick Leave on Fridays or Mondays because CLEARLY you're extending your weekend. One problem though - you can't really have conditional sick leave cause I can't plan my sickness also, i'm rarely sick for 1 day at a time.


Even if you aren't sick and use SL, who gives a fuck? You earned the leave. When you're out, you're out.

 

I used to have a TA who would call out sick almost every Monday and omg I don't miss those days at all


I've been known to pass out and/or nearly pass out and not tell anybody and go back to work even tho nobody would care if I left, but I'm a weirdo with issues. I am always like eh all I'd do is sit at home and do nothing anyway. May as well go to work and not use my leave as long as I take it easy. Even tho i have tons of leave. I'm a toxic worker tho.

 

when i'm bored and not doing shit, nobody wants to talk to me

when I'm busy doing some shit, everybody wants to talk to me

 

Humble brags

 

Super first world problem that really is exactly what this thread is looking for - when I’m in the drive thru and pick a lane and the other ends up being the speed gauntlet while I’m stuck behind the $75+ custom order that takes a half hour for the person to explain and then someone gets behind you so you can’t backup and go to the fast lane

 

This is one of the times Chester is being the devil and waking me up early, he doesn't even care I'm hungover

 

Wayfair rewards expiring. Mine expired and I didn’t know until I contacted them, and they told me they expire after a certain amount of time. Which is lame.

 

the stench of garbage

 

When someone high fives aggressively hard

 

My sofa has this cushion that “sinks in” from me sitting there all the time, and I feel like it’s contributing to my back/shoulder/neck problems lately. I know the obvious answer is to swap the cushions, but that’ll actually lead to the same issue. Idk how to make the cushion firm again. I’ve tried googling it, but no help. And for a few minutes I like to sit on a firm cushion

 

idk where to put this but I almost lost my uncle today

it was surreal. now i'm drunk and unable to really process what happened

just hope he's ok

 

I hope he’s okay and I hope you’re okay too — take care of yourself and send him some love

 

thank you

 

I just realized the hood over my stove has not filter. Just an exposed fan. Also I feel like there’s something else missing because there’s a piece of plastic taped to the inside that I have no idea what it is.

 

I dislike that pickled cucumbers are just called pickles, but any other pickled food is just “pickled _____”

 

The world of pickles is so vast too. Pickled caulifower, carrots, onions, green beans, radishes are all just as good or better than cucumber pickles depending on how they're made

 

Pickled hogs feet. Don’t forget those.

 

My friend ordered a pickle platter at a local bar once, thinking it'd just be pickled cucumbers, but he was sorely mistaken and bummed when he got his food lol

 

i am very bad with food names and such but feel like the word “platter” automatically indicates that it’s more than just one type of food in that particular item lol

 

Those medical tv shows especially er ones where the doctors/nurses get bodily fluids splashed on them but somehow it magically missed their eyes/mouth

 

I have to be on time for my appointments and sometimes early to fill out paperwork (fair) but the doctor can be as late as they want.

I even have the first appt of the day so they can't blame previous late patients!!

 

now my dad is in the hospital

been rough for my family lately

 

Hang in there, man!

 

YO literally sitting in a doctor’s office right now, I’m a new patient and was told to show up 15 minutes before my 9:00 appt for paperwork. I get here and they don’t open until 9:00! Wtf! Door was locked and everything haha. Bizarre stuff
