    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.

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

    If it makes you feel better (it probably wont) my dad was a professional mechanic and I also don’t know shit about cars

    My oldest nephew is currently in school learning to be a mechanic and I can’t wait for him to be finished lol He’s gonna get all my business! My current mechanic seems pretty good but I want the family discount!

    I did find a decent guy for little repairs and stuff and he seems legit but even going in for an oil change at some places and I feel hassled.

    I just Google the issue and find 1000 people that had the same problem and see how they fixed it.

    I've found that chain mechanics are much cheaper than local mechanics around here, as long as the work isn't too involved.

    $1300 brake job (plus $65 inspection) at local vs $850 at VIP (free inspection + AAA member discount)

    wanna go for a ryyyde

    its also just annoying that the shitty chain places are easiest to go to if you work normal business hours. couple months back i went to get my car inspected at a pep boys since it was open on a weekend and within walking distance of my place and was confident it was in good shape so foolishly didnt think they would try to fleece me. low and behold they did it a day late 15 minutes before closing time, failed it, and tried to charge me 900+ for a wobbly wheel and a brake light out. found a mom and pop shop near work after and neither of those things were true.

    When people are telling you the time and are like "It's half past 3" or "It's a quarter to 6"

    Quit being inefficient. Just say 30 or 15.

    I am quite the specimen of human being. I just burned my hand 3-4 times because part of the pizza I put in broke off and didn’t land on the tin foil on the bottom and I didn’t want it to burn and smoke up the oven so I was trying to move it with a fork and of course ended up burning my hand on one of the shelves, but THEN proceeded to whip my hand up into the next shelf, then back down and then back up again before finally moving it a different fucking direction lol

    When you’re overthinking if you’ve packed enough or not enough hours before a flight.

    Getting better at not bringing a bunch of extra useless shit but I know I’ll still be grumbling about how heavy my bag is as I walk through the airport.

    I always over pack and somehow still always forget one thing.

    I brought a bag of sealed snacks so I wouldn’t lose all my money at the stores in the airport and they pulled and searched my bag and looked through every single thing I brought to make sure they were all sealed. Never had that happen before, the things they check for seems to always change based on the person working

    Jury duty summons. I’m trying to submit an excuse but it doesn’t have the option I need. It’s a financial burden for me to miss work. You have to show proof that your employer won’t pay. I’m gonna ask if they do (that’s not pto or sick time) and if they can’t write me a letter saying they don’t pay jury duty leave.
    I also have anxiety and undiagnosed adhd or even bipolar disorder which I don’t have a proper diagnoses for yet. You have to show proof from your doctor and since my doc never gave me a proper diagnoses… I tried looking into the postponement and it says you have to show up on the day you selected if you don’t hear back. I can’t do that either!! I was going to use that time to try to get a diagnoses but as I posted about it before, my medical clinic is so awful with their psych dept and I don’t have the money to go somewhere else atm. Plus last time it took two week just for an “intake” phone appt that got me nowhere.

    And last week a guy knocked and was offering a deal on electric and gas rates and I literally had to go get my ID bc he didn’t believe I was old enough to be the homeowner and yet again I was older than him!!! I just want people to think I’m an adult and take me seriously!

    First day back to work after 3 days of vacation and 14 minutes into the day someone stops by to ask if I saw “that email” yet. No, it’s 8:14 am. Even if I hadn’t been on vacation the last 3 days I wouldn’t have gotten to it yet because it’s fucking 8:14 am.

    People who see that you are out of office and even though their request isn’t urgent at all, will try and find someone else to do the request instead of just shutting the fuck up and waiting until I am back. Now I gotta figure out what’s going on because someone trying to be helpful couldn’t just say they didn’t know and likely confused a bunch of other people, needlessly, with this non-urgent request that just had to be taken care of.
