this is how I feel living in Rochester….our calendar for scene music has evaporated and bands all go to Buffalo and/or Syracuse, of all cities. If they’re skipping Buffalo for Toronto, all the more reason to give rochester more shows :P
Hey, I'm staying in Rochester with a friend for the first time this weekend after seeing Alex G and Alvvays in Buffalo
Not sure when it started, but I have grown to loath the phrase “let’s go!”. I think it started mostly with sports, people yelling it after big plays, then seemingly any play, but then it’s also infiltrated every other aspect of life - social media videos, coworkers, tv shows, podcasts, etc. I can’t even remember what phrase people used to yell all the time - was it anything???? but my god all I hear is “let’s go!” 24/7. Edit: maybe it was a Tom Brady thing? I know he says it a bunch in Hertz car rental commercials but not sure if he’s saying it in the commercial to mock the phrase being overused or if he says it because he always said it in games? Either way, annoying as shit phrase lol
I haven’t bought a book off Amazon in years and the only thing Alexa ever wants to tell me is when some random ass book by someone I’ve never heard of is $3 off.
I get a daily Amazon books sale email and over time the recs have gotten worse to worse. They used to either come off my wishlist or feature genres I more heavily invest in and now it just feels like a generic fiction bestsellers list (I read mostly non fiction)
Spotify automatically turning on shuffle when you finish an album. And then starting another album you aren't overly familiar and accidentally shuffling that shit.
If the top sheet comes untucked from the bottom mattress when I'm sleeping. The thought of it getting bunched up around my legs and feet makes my skin crawl.
If you want to cancel a digital newspaper subscription you have to chat with customer service. At least with Tampa Bay Times you can't just simply click unsubscribe or turn off autorenew on your end, they have to do it for you.
When a show gets moved to a different venue after I already bought tickets expecting it to be at the original location. It's dumb but now I have to shift my mindset lol
Men. Was in my front yard watering my plants when a guy stopped his truck right in front of my house, rolled down his window and started catcalling me. I had to go inside and wait for him to drive off because he would not leave me alone.
What the fuck, that’s insane. I’d be on high alert for days after something as random and bizarre as that.
What the fuck goes through someone’s head that makes them think that’s okay and that anyone would like that? I’m sorry you had to deal with that.
Having a ton to do but not being able to do anything. I’m leaving for a wedding immediately after work tomorrow and I have a lot of things to do beforehand. Can’t do any of it until I’m out of work this evening yet all I can think about is what I need to do. Days like today I really miss working from home.
Yesterday was my first day of officially returning to the office 2 days a week and I really hate having to get up 2 hours earlier in the morning on those days Traffic is annoying too. Leaving work yesterday, I sat through 6 full cycles of the traffic light leaving the road my office is on
Think I posted about the Dipshit I work with that sends me Teams Chats a few times a month that I have not once responded to in 18+ months yet he still sends them. He’s really ratcheted the chats up, I’ve gotten like 15 the last two weeks and he honest to god sent me an email at the end of the day Friday asking me to look at the chat. just fucking send me an email! The email you just sent? Fucking including what you’re whining about in there! Who the fuck directs someone to another form of communication for a task instead of including in the form of communication they send??? And today he sends another chat, “please respond, I need help answering this”. motherfucker, I have never responded via chat lol your messages don’t even show that I looked at them because I literally have not because I do not give a shit to waste my day helping him. I’m waiting for his boss or my boss to set up a meeting asking about this and will enjoy the awkward silence as they try to wrap their head around why he keeps sending chats/requests to someone who has literally never responded.
yea people apparently are getting sent back to the offices here too. by some coincidence my commute suddenly sucks ass now.
