Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 155

At my office building I need to use my badge to scan through pretty much any set of doors going into any hallway. There are lots of hallways. Sometimes I'm on autopilot and forget to scan my badge and try to push the double doors open and I get unreasonably so mad when they don't open and I realize I forgot to scan in. It takes two seconds to realize and scan it, but you'd think I encountered the world's biggest inconvenience. I think I get annoyed cause when I do it I'm focused so I'm on autopilot and the doors not opening jolts me out of my thoughts or task so jarringly.

 

this is how most of the buildings at my job work too and there are a few buildings / sections where doors are like 20 feet apart. It makes no sense why you gotta badge through all of them.

There was also the time I needed access to the 6th floor of some building, got access, but didn’t get elevator access to bring me to that floor so I had to get off at 5 and walk up the last flight. Like what the fuck, I have access to the door on the 6th floor but don’t have access for the elevator to take me to that door, that requires separate access!

 

polyamorous relationships

I just don't get it. they have always just seemed to me to be a way to have your cake and eat it too

 

What a beautiful metaphor/pun

 

I try

 

I don’t get it either. To each their own. What actually bothers me is when I’m on a dating app and I either see a couple “looking for a third,” or someone saying they’re poly or “Ethically non-monogamous” as they call it. Keep in mind the guy making an account with his SO is calling himself “single” and “monogamous”. Im out here trying to date. I’ll come across a guy that seems decent, but once I see “ethically non-monogamous” written. I swipe left, and sigh nvm. I just can’t understand how a person can have their “main partner”(people saying they’re in a committed relationship. But looking for another to join them?- that’s confusing) , but want a side piece. It’s like cheating without calling it cheating (not sure how else to describe it)

 

Adding the fact that on mobile my keyboard likes to close out on me causing me to click on an add

 

Idk why someone else's polygamous relationship would annoy anyone else unless they're misleading you into a situation or misrepresenting themselves in a way that impacts you somehow. Like on dating apps if they're not honest upfront that that's what they're looking for it's annoying. If they're being shady, then yeah. Otherwise idk why their existence would rly impact anyone else.


I've also never understood the saying have your cake and eat it too. If I have cake, I do also want to eat it. That's why I have the cake. Maybe I just misunderstand that one lol

 

I've been personally affected before so

 

it's just hard to be in love with someone who loves like three other people

hope I'm never in that situation again

 

Like you do you, and as long as I’m not involved or dating someone who is interested in poly, then it doesn’t bother me. As someone who has used dating apps/sites on and off for years when i wasn’t dating anyone or taking a break from dating, since Covid i have seen a large increase in couples on apps. These couples (the man since I am female looking for a man) are almost always listed as “single” and “monogamous” which false and misleading. Thats my annoyance. Like they if you’re into that don’t call yourself monogamous and single.

Let me add I’m sitting in the waiting room at the doctor office and this lady is unmasked -.-

 

everyone around me is unmasked in public constantly

 

it's very unnerving

 

It’s like that for me in the public as well, but where I am from my understanding, doctor/medical facilites require a mask. I know that means nothing to some people

 

it's still that way here, which is why that's one of the only public spaces i feel remotely secure in

it's just the grocery store and the like that's dicey

 

hey I thought this was just me with my phone going to shit.

 

When you’re closing out a bunch of windows yet even when they’re all in full screen they don’t quite add up so if you’re not looking you’re not clicking something closed and just tapping away at the top of the window or somewhere else. Just make all the X’s the same size.

 

I’ve got a ton of work to do this week and every system we use has been slow, unresponsive, or just straight up crashing all week making it impossible to actually do anything

 

i feel this. Every excel file takes like 40 seconds to open and then constantly freezes even when not auto saving and I’ve come so close to punching my monitors into oblivion

 

I thought my phone was just tweaking out because it’s old. The keyboard would even disappear in the middle of me typing or if I don’t type for a few second

 

well, that might be because my phone is old lol. I think I’ve had this phone since… 2018? Which isn’t necessarily old but since most people get a new phone every year or two it’s old in those terms.

I also feel like my internet service started going to shit once my phone was paid off. The conspiracy theorist in me says phone companies do this to make you buy a new phone since once it’s paid off they aren’t making off of you but I don’t want to be that pessimistic lol

 

Clicking a link to a news story expecting an article, but there’s a video of a news report instead.

 

I have my phone since maybe 2017 (I have iPhone 8 and had to look up when it came out and for some reason I feel like I had it longer). I don’t have the money to drop on a new phone. For the most part it works, I just have to use speaker or earbuds to talk to someone

 

When I talk to others, they pretend not to hear and don't respond.

 

When my local target gets rid of certain items. I’ll check the app only for it to say “not sold at this store”
