Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 274

When it was time to renew my lease thankfully it wasn't as much of an increase as I expected but I knew I'd prob stay regardless because the price and inconvenience of moving, which sucks and property managers prob know that. But if I'm paying for increased rent, increased amenities and improved maintenance service would be nice! A big sell for my apartment complex is it being gated and secure but half the gates are broken and don't close or lock. The door handle to the gym entrance gate is broken in half and they never refill the cleaning supplies to wipe down your equipment. The office is often closed due to staffing issues. The pool is closed for 3/4 of the year. Maintenance takes forever to fill requests. What am I paying for??

 

My company just announced they're going to do layoffs. This is a few month after we went private too. Great ...

 

Lost packages. I signed up for a horror/subscription service club in December and my first package was supposed to arrive by Christmas. I know the post was insane with the holidays, but the last movement I saw was December 13th. The company offered to file a missing package report and re-ship, but I got an email telling me to contact USPS customer service, which I did, and they're now investigating it as if it's a scam, which it isn't (I've ordered from their company before, I told them this), and at the end of the day, I just want my package lol. Gonna be fun watching Santa Claws in like April I guess

 

that shits fucked. cant think of anything theyre not gauging people on nowadays

 

I just wish my leasing company didn't treat us like second class citizens, finding some excuse to enter our unit every month or two with little to no notice. This time they're installing fiber so I had to rip apart a bunch of furniture to clear the way for them. Ugh. The other week I found them on our balcony doing work in our furnace without giving us any notice; they just used a ladder instead of entering our unit. A few months ago, a painter opened our door without knocking first while my fiance was naked in the living room

 

Man, that's insane.

 

It's awful. They don't answer phone calls either so no use complaining, they send you straight to voicemail. They only care about showing off units to potential new renters

 

Also, on their notice for us to clear our furniture indoors and the balcony for the fiber installation, they wrote a note to everyone saying they are "FORBIDDEN" (all caps) from storing any items in common areas even though they're the ones inconveniencing us! So, I'm currently stepping over my end table and potted house plant in my kitchen trying to cook because they could show up any time from 7am to 5pm over the next two days

 

Walking into Walmart wearing a blue polo so another customer thinks you’re an employee and asks you where the restroom is

 

Speaking rent mine also went up about $100. I was struggling before and even with my small raise I’ll still struggle.

 

did you tell them?

 

I’m sorry. It’s horrible.

 

I was like “yeah I think it’s upfront near the registers!” And they walked away

 

there's always one in the front and one in the back

how do people not know this by now?

 

I know right?

 

company I work for fired 215 people yesterday and forced another 75 into early retirement. Announcement comes out tomorrow morning for the lame ass reasoning (“we predict sales will continue to drop with a bad economy for another 14-18 months so this move is to keep us nimble and in business blah blah blah”). Know a handful of the people let go, shit sucks.

 

I keep hearing from my boss that the new upper management is more "numbers driven" and that we aren't looking too great so thats fun

 

Thank god for thelayoff.com for giving me more information about what is going on than anyone is openly willing to give while on the clock.

Allows people to anonymously share and leak info about layoffs. Great site.

 

In high school I worked at wal-mart as a cashier and back then the uniforms were in the blue vest thing phase and the number of fucking people that would ask me if I worked there while standing behind a register counting money in my till blew my mind. I finally answered “no, got the vest off eBay and these suckers gave me a register key” once to an old man and that guy shot his eyes out of his head and hustled and bustled to the customer service desk to let someone know

The CSM on duty then got hounded by the guy because I wouldn’t apologize for “lying to him”.

 

All of my bills except for one is set up for auto pay and almost every month I’ll suddenly jump off the couch like “oh fuck! Did I pay that bill????” And the bill is like, $8 or some shit and it bugs me so much I can’t set it up for autopay lol

 

Data science babyyyy. Get ready for some real headscratching nonsensical horseshit.

" numbers guys" are the absolute worst managers

 

Lol ohhh boy! I'm also pretty sure that some of the upper management came from GE, which I haven't heard the greatest things about in terms of worklife.

 

As someone who works for a data science company I can confidently say data science when applied into practice is just astrology for PMC people with STEM degrees.

 

When something in a piece of entertainment no longer is as funny as it once seemed.

Have Friends on as background noise and in one of the early episodes Ross gets heated about Phoebe not believing in evolution and and there’s jokes to be had as Ross tries to get her to believe it and this storyline is no longer funny in 2023 as more and more people begin to “debate” shit like this and the earth being flat, etc.

(I’ve posted in here a lot today but definitely not having a bad day, just random things that come to mind lol)
