Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 183

When people cold call me on teams with no warning, no message. Like what the fuck are you doing?

 

I had a manager once who would call you unprompted on Teams if you didn’t respond to messages within a minute. Dude sucked, luckily I only had him for a month before I moved to another department. People who ask if you’re free for a call and still call before you reply also suck.

 

My manager talks to me maybe once a week at most.

 

I have a new coworker who does this 5-6 times a day. Every day. And she’s nice to talk to and just learning and has a lot of questions but never once checks first to see if I’m busy with something or in a meeting and every time I do answer we end up talking for like a fuckin’ hour because there’s so much shit to cover.

And it’s a bit interesting that she’s 30 (I’m 34) since most people my age and younger seemingly hate using the phone and usually thrive with texts and emails but her go-to action is to call.

Luckily we get along and the majority of her ideas are good ones and whatnot but still, who just calls with no warning?? Guess that’s my mistake for answering without screening lol

 

Truly perplexed when coworkers seem to assume you just wear a headset all day long for the hell of it

 

yeah if someone important calls I scramble to find my headset and answer lol

 

Speaking off managers. I got transferred to a different manager on Monday and they have yet to reach out to me at all. Not even an email. I hope they forget about me and I keep getting paid.

 

bruh @ me in a fortnight

 

Feeling like you'll never get sand off your body after going to the beach

 

This thread is so intrinsically tied to the Reasons to Keep Living thread lol

 

Personally, I love that aspect

 

tbh when I made them I expected both to fail but y'all are awesome and proved me very wrong

 

When angrycandy makes threads and they don’t fail

 

Super short charging cables. My wireless headphone charging cable is 4” and there’s only two outlets in my entire apartment (in the kitchen) that are close enough to the outlet so I don’t have to stack a pile of shit up to put the headphones on so they charge. Who the fuck designs that stuff.

 

Wait there’s only 2 outlets total in your apartment?? Or just 2 in the kitchen?

 

theres 3 in the kitchen but because the cable is so damn short the headphones would just be hanging from the outlet because it’s higher up so the headphones won’t reach the counter.

And all the other outlets in my apartment are like, idk, a foot off the ground or whatever they usually are so again, these damn headphones would be dangling from the cable and they fall out (I tried) so unless I stack shit up to make a tower for the headphones I only have the two outlets in the kitchen that are just above the counter so the headphones won’t dangle and fall out of the charging cable

 

When things are advertised as “under $20” or similar and it’s actually a penny under. Technically correct but come on

 

Going to swallow a pill and having it either stick in your mouth or your throat. Either immediate gagging or, when I finally manage to swallow, it straight-up hurts

 

I hate having a work phone. If I'm on call I'd legit have three phones: my regular work phone, on call phone, and personal. Women's pockets are already not generous so it was ridic to lug them around. I think having a work phone has also contributed to my perceived need for overstimulation. I'm going back and forth between multiple phones during the work day and once home it's hard to slow my brain back down and I always have this sense that I need to be checking a phone. My new work phone also has a much quieter vibrate setting which is annoying cause I never hear it ring but I refuse to use a ring tone because they're obnoxious. Also my personal phone is an android but my work phone is an iPhone and sometimes there are minor settings differences and I forget which setting or function goes with which phone which is also annoying

 

the fact that I still have yet to see Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

 

have you checked your theaters this week? It's finally here in OKC so I'm going to see it tonight.

 

Im sure I'll see it soon. just feels good to complain sometimes

hope you enjoy

 

People who come to you for help but don’t actually let you help

 

just another rainy afternoon where the internet goes out and eventually the power too

 

People who obviously don't read my entire email before responding
