Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 290

Wow it's so cold out that the ocean is literally steaming, my uncle who lives on the coast was sending videos

 

Idk if this is an everybody thing or not, it’s not even super common for me. But when your eyes randomly go out of focus and there’s nothing you can really do but wait it out for the 5-10 seconds or whatever

 

I have this happen in the mornings sometimes and I have to blink rapidly to get them back in focus

 

My eyes are always out of focus

 

How relentlessly food-obsessed my cat is. She starts begging, knocking shit over, and loudly chewing on things to get a rise out of us a good 2-3 hours before it's time to be fed. She bats my fiance in the face at 4 in the morning and sometimes bites her to wake her up. We ignore her, but it's very tiring. She will eat literally anything and steal food directly from your hands.

 

and this is a problem why, points were made

 

this was on an end cap at the grocery store and I almost bought it thinking it was a new pop.

 

My boy does that.

 

Teething

 

My cats consistently wake me up like 45 minutes before I have to get up for work and it's the bane of my existence because I cannot fall back asleep

 

feel like the Facebook algorithm fucked me over yesterday or something. I've never had this tepid of a response to me releasing a new book. oh well.

 

I feel like facebook's algorithm has gotten way worse over the last few months

 

Started looking for a new job last week — why do so many companies ask for a resume and cover letter, but then still require you to fill out your employment and work history separate from that? Just look at the resume man that’s the point!!

 

got a splinter

 

This shit drives me nuts, last time I was looking for a job it got to the point where I wouldn’t even apply if they required a cover letter. Good luck with the search!

 

When systems at work are broken and IT/leadership just tells you to do a convoluted workaround rather than actually addressing the issue

 

Work

 

Insane that I had to spend $12 to get 6 paper images of checks I’ve written, when my bank’s app only goes back like 8 months.

 

Had to go to the bank on my lunch break and it’s in a not-so-good area the best way to put it. A lot of weird people. Oh and there’s one bank teller.

 

It’s funny how as rent prices go up, the security deposits just match…because most places ask for a months rent as a security deposit. As if, the nicer of a house I rent, it’s assumed I’m going to do even more damage

clearly just an easy way for landlords to line their pockets. There needs to be some sort of cap, cause they always just keep it regardless.

 

Ticketmaster apologist guy in the boygenius thread

 

#SponCon

 

Lol. Gotta see this

 

Yeah that sucks. I’m not even gonna sit here and say anything they’re saying is technically wrong, but like take off the economist hat and read the room. Concert tickets are largely untenable right now. Maybe we’ve all been spoiled with lifetimes of going to DIY shows or indie label club tours but holy fuck man remember when buying tickets didn’t take a year off your life? Even just in this last year off the top of my head it’s been Boygenius, Paramore, Blink 182, The 1975, Fall Out Boy, Turnstile, When We Were Young, My Chem. Each one has been like a crisis level event and at the end people are either broke or disappointed, there’s gotta be a better way and Ticketmaster sure as hell is not gonna be the one to find it

 

It's so depressing because I love having shows on the calendar to look forward to but I wind up trying for last minute deals most of the time now
