Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 223

in general you can tell a lot of subway routes are from when people generally stayed in their neighborhood haha, there are certain venues that I'm like it's just too complicated

 

Same as @trevorshmevor, I just always have this reaction to vaccines. But knock on wood, haven't got COVID yet. Then again, I still wear my mask when it feels necessary. All of mine have been Pfizer.

And rolling into something that's annoying me...coworkers without boundaries. This kid is nice, and we've hung out a few times outside of work, but he literally wants to do lunch every day (I cut fast food down to once a week) and is giving me shit right now for not being able to do something. "Maybe you shouldn't have gotten the booster, the vaccine didn't do anything for me." Lol okay bud, that's you, but my dad's coworker who gave COVID to him was unvaccinated and fucking croaked while my vaccinated dad got through it relatively easily, so kindly keep that shit to yourself

 

I think i got ghosted, again

 

Cooking bacon and then having the whole house smell like bacon

One time my roommate in college got blackout drunk and left bacon in the oven and fell asleep and literally everything he owned smelled like bacon for months I’m glad he was okay. The bacon basically just disintegrated

 

I think the worst thing I’ve ever overcooked was when I forgot to put water in a plastic bowl with cheap ramen noodles, so I just microwaved the noodles and burned a hole in the plastic bowl

I was like 14

 

Yeah I mean he was asleep for like 12 hours there wasn’t really much of a trace of bacon

 

I went to a girlfriends parents house for dinner once and wore a brand new coat there and even though it was in another fucking room the chili that her mom made somehow like, attached itself to my coat - and just my coat! - and for months it was all I could smell no matter how many times I washed it. I’d open the closet door and it was just a face full of that goddamn chili

 

Tiny annoying thing that I’ve done to myself - somehow started the habit awhile back of snapping off the very end of each pea pod before I dip it/eat it. No idea how or why it started but I can’t break myself of it so at the end of eating pea pods each time, there is a pile of shnibbles of plucked off ends

 

Was it at least good?

 

honestly can’t remember. I assume yes, but even if it was good, the constant smell of it on my coat made me dislike it lol

 

I was making a u-turn on a green light in a permitted lane. Lady making a right turn on a red looks at me in question when I slammed on my breaks and honked at her. She didn’t stop she kept going. Crazy how anyone can get a license in the states

 

Reminds me of a story about the townhome complex we used to live in. One of the workers at the front office told us a little while before we moved in that apparently someone started pan frying fish on their stove downstairs, then decided to run upstairs to take a shower while it was still going. Suffice it to say, they caught the whole row of townhomes on fire.

My little brother did this as well when he was like 10. My parents said it started like sparking and basically ruined the microwave

 

It takes like 2 minutes to fry fish what the fuck had to be drugs involved

 

My bf has this baking sheet with a rack that comes for it and I hate it. He uses it to make chicken and it's so hard to wash. It's too big to soak in the sink or fit in the dishwasher. It's super awkward to wash and it never feels completely clean and water gets everywhere. It may go mysteriously missing soon

 

I’m not particularly annoyed by this as much as I am just confused, but when people randomly pluralize business names that are plainly not pluralized - the most common one coming to mind is when people call it “Nordstroms”. Or like this price tag at the coffee shop on my work campus, where someone inexplicably added a Z to the end of this product

 

Well there is a completely different business named Orbitz, but I get it

 

That’s wild. That was like a beranstein (I have no fucking idea how it’s spelled at this point) bears phenomenon . Until Josh said that, I was like, wait, it’s NOT orbitz?

 

My parents do this and I do it chronically. Shopping at Fred Meyers to buy my Orbitz all day

 

Millers Lite

 

The worst one for me is when people call Dunkin’ Donuts Dunkies. Dunkin’ or Dunks is fine but Dunkies drives me nuts. It’s definitely a New England specific thing though.

 

I've never heard anyone call it dunkies but I'd probably cringe hearing that haha. I always call it Dunks

 

I accidentally pluralize like all the things mentioned in here lmao. I also call starbucks Starbies. It started off as more sarcastic/ironic but now its just in my vocab
