Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 365

yeah they’re pretty awful

 

Doc said it’s infected. Gave me antibiotics and advised warm compress with rice in a sock, as that works better that a warm cloth

 

Almost got fucked by what I can only assume was attempted insurance fraud or something.

I’m on the highway and somehow end up in front of an 18-wheeler with its brights on while the car in front of me only has their headlights on, no taillights. So now I can barely see as is because of the semi brights and took me a terrifying amount of time to notice a black car with no taillights in front of me that definitely felt like they were slowing down but without hitting the brakes so they wouldn’t light up. Seemed very odd/suspicious.

 

I’m at Trader Joe’s getting groceries and 90% of the store expires on the 26th. Cool!

 

Better eat up

 

Probably my favorite grocery shopping scene I’ve witnessed in person - an old man was in the yogurt section and casually just throwing yogurt cups over his shoulder into a cart after looking at each one for a second. Had to have had about 100 in there before a worker came up and asked if he was alright. Old man doesn’t even turn to look at him and just says, “yep, and making sure everyone else stays alright too. All those expired yesterday”.

 

I WFH and on Mon-Thur I clock in at 11am, and Sundays at 12pm. I just woke up way earlier on a Sunday than usual and instinctively clocked in and started working at 11 before my shift was supposed to start.

 

My body feels so weak today. Couldn't even complete a 20 min lower body workout. My stamina just feels so low for no reason. I hate when I want to be a person and my body is like lol u thought

 

I got a jury duty summons. Thinking about sending in an excuse saying I can’t make it because I can’t parallel park. Literally where it’s located gives me anxiety driving there.

 

My mom is currently pissed at me bc I refuse to go on a date with my grandma’s neighbor. He lives in the country, owns a huge truck and his hobbies are hunting and fishing. I moved out of the country for a reason!! I have no desire to date someone who loves that kinda shit. It’s not me and never has been but according to her I’m just too picky. Sorry for wanting to date someone who actually has things in common with me!

 

Those guys are also pretty much radical right republicans. Probably Not someone you’d want to associate with anyway.

 

Having to manually research and change your energy supplier to get any decent rate on electricity. I feel like many people don't even know you can do that and just stick with their state's default supplier.

 

I legit don’t think I have a choice in electric or gas supplier. Basically monopolies here

 

Ah yeah I guess I wouldn't be too surprised if it varies on a state by state basis.

I can't change anything about my gas/heat, but for electric I always pay eversource as my provider, but can choose any supplier I want. Eversource is a default supplier on top of the provider, but it's an insane ripoff. Like double the cost.

 

Cooking. Takes all this time and money and dirty dishes and I end up with a mediocre outcome that's never worth it.

 

There’s nothing more infuriating than spending hours on a meal and having it just absolutely suck.

 

Coughing pretty much uncontrollably for almost a week now. Kill meeee.

 

okay, address?

 

Your mom’s house

 

wow Brad I was doing you a favor

 

This is bigger than a “tiny thing that annoys me” but idk where else to put it

Landlords just increased my rent $250 starting November 1st. I wouldn’t normally care, but I have such a barebones set up and now it’s $1500 for a fucking room! I don’t even have a kitchen, laundry, or internet, or even hot water really. Time to move, fuck them.

 

When you click to read what you think is an article, but it's actually a podcast.

 

Taking my car in for any kind of service. I know jack shit about cars and always feel talked down to/taken advantage of.

 

and they always act like every human being just constantly carries $700 around with them
