Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 366

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)

 

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.

 

Dudes on dating apps be “I’m not really on here add my snap” *eye roll emoji*
Literally no effort.
I wish there was a different and easier way to meet guys in my area (in area where all my choices are poor) bc I can’t with the apps anymore

 

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.

 

stop making me parse your little bullshit too

 

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.

 

I took my grandma to her doctor’s appointment and the receptionist said “and who is this sweet little girl helping you today?” Sir I am older than you are!!! Forever looking like a teenager even though I’m 32

 

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!

 

I got another Covid booster and a flu shot yesterday. I was fine, but I woke up feeling so sore.

 

My car insurance premium went up $30 a month for this next year. Some bs. I was happy it went down $30 last year now it’s back up

 

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.

 

When La Croix is the only seltzer available

 

That annoying as fuck test alarm that just went out to every cell phone

 

that shit scared the bejesus out of me

 

Thankfully all my phone did was vibrate. The smart speakers in my apartment, on the other hand...

 

I was lucky in that I wasn’t around my phone then

 

When someone whose number you don't have saved texts you, and when you ask " who is this?" They jokingly avoid answering like "I dunno who is this? I like turtles lol", I do not care who you are you are getting fucking blocked. Don't play on my phone.
