Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 352

You know my girlfriend?

 

Cowlicks suck. I passed mine on to my son and I feel bad about it.

 

I came home to nap over lunch and this is the exact time my patio is getting power washed.

 

How long is your lunch that you can come home to nap? How long are you napping?

 

To be totally honest, being salaried and not hourly has taught me that no one truly gives a shit what you do when you do it as long as you don’t miss meetings and still get stuff done.

Perfect world scenario for me would be a nap of 2-3 hours but today I just needed a solid 30 minutes to feel even somewhat normal today. And I live 5 minutes from work and we’re only onsite one day a week so I don’t have travel time eating into my lunch “window” too much.

In the event someone at work would get hostile about me being away for more than 60 minutes for lunch, I can very easily identify all the bullshit I’ve done outside of 8-5 to show I’m working well over 40 hours a week and really shouldn’t be concerned with where those 40 hours show up.

 

This dude on hinge. For one I know nothing about him. I asked his interests in things he likes to do or things he wants to get into (a general statement/question for conversation) and he turned it into like a hangout/date topic. Like how do I turn the conversation back around.

 

The realtor I’m working with sending me listings that are $50-$75K above my highest limit

 

My highest private student loan just went up to 10.75% and going to go up again to 11.25% in October.

I'm already paying $678 for that student loan. I have another private student loan at $119. When federal kicks back in, that's another $350 on top of those.

I'm going to be spending like $3k+ a month just on rent and student loans. Beyond stressed.

Also realized I'm being overcharged on my energy supplier. Just called and dropped from $.18/kwh to $.13/kwh so that's good at least. Should save me $30-40 a month.

 

Yeah, I'm very stressed about loans kicking back in in October.

Not annoying so much as awkward but if I'm at a food cart pod and walk up closer to see the menu and the employee perks up like I'm gonna order from them but I just have to awkwardly be like ehhh... just reading the menu sry bye

 

the worst is when you walk into a place see the menu/prices and say no thanks internally and walk out haha

 

Drive thru places that don’t have a menu before pulling up to order

 

I always have this memory as a kid when my mom took us to this local restaurant for dinner and we sat down with the menus and it was too expensive and she had us get up and leave. I get it as an adult but as a reaction im the complete opposite and will order something as I die inside. Even if it's their fault and they overcharge me I get too anxious to say anything

 

I got my beard trim and hair cut like I do every two months. The stylist that did it must have been her first day cutting hair. She messed it up so much. I’ll have to start requesting the one I like the most.

 

Yeah I got burned 2 haircuts ago with someone that was definitely not experienced yet

 

Finding a local place that takes appointments has been a game changer for me. I always get the same barber.

 

After way too long I just realized in the last couple of years if you find someone that does your hair like you like, ask for their card and only go to them. Helps if you stop going to Fantastic Sams and Supercuts. I've been liking Floyd 99 recently, they seem to attract a little higher caliber of talent.

 

I had one person who was my haircutter and they quit like 7 years ago and I've been adrift ever since haha

 

Yeah making appointments is key with haircuts whether you're at a barber or hair stylist. Building that trust is huge for me personally since I've always been pretty particular about what I get and my hair is weird as fuck. I'd be so stressed at the barber if I wasn't getting cut by the same person every time. Only ever had 3 long term barbers over the past 20 years of getting real hair cuts that weren't just my mom giving me a buzzcut in the kitchen and I initially only switched barbers since my first guy died of old age.

 

my last haircut was fucked

 

also related to haircuts how quickly they skyrocketed in cost like easily $10 more in ten years for a standard barbershop, like $20-25 plus tip is cheap now

 

I have been going to ulta for haircuts and go to whoever is available at the appt day/time that works for me and they've all been about comparable talent-wise. I have an ulta credit card and by getting regular haircuts espesh if they have a 5x points on beauty services promo has me almost to diamond status which earns me points faster and then I can replenish my makeup/skincare products at massive discounts or no cost when I use my points. It's all in my master plan

 

They're painting my building so they put a tarp over my car and others parked on that side of the building and I need to get something out of the car but I feel like I would draw attention to myself which is so dumb. Anxiety is annoying

Also I have one eyelash on my inner left eye that points straight down. I hate it
