Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 377

Thanks! Doing much better; I did get really sick but thankfully the worst of it only lasted like three days

 

When people Slack you asking you to read the email they just sent you. Oh, you want me to read your email Joe? I never would've thought of that!

 

or when people I never talk to just say "hey" on teams, I don't respond ever to that

 

or when people start a DM and then go MIA when I reply immediately to their initial message. if you want it to be asynchronous, then send me an email.

 

When you’re looking at shit online that is available in a physical store but then realize the site isn’t showing you inventory from the store in your city and once that is selected that item isn’t available at the store.

A lot of sites do this and while I guess I would rather have it this way vs knowing exactly where I am, for whatever reason Target’s website seems to be the worst/most annoying for me as the site never remembers my zip code and always defaults to like somewhere in western Canada even though I’ve changed it hundreds of times

 

There is an idiot coworker of mine who sends me 2-3 Teams chats a week every week for at least two years. I have never once even clicked on the message/chat so it’s just a wall of questions from him with no response / not even the icon showing I read the message.

finally about two weeks ago he emails me saying, “please see my question in Teams chat and let me know”.

JUST PUT THE QUESTION IN THE EMAIL.

Was going to just ignore the email entirely but decided to respond and told him to send the question via email and that I don’t use chat (a lie of course lol). And he did. And he still continues to send messages in Teams. His brain is simply incapable of putting two and two together.

 

Ads trying to be hip. I got a clothing email promotion a while back and every outfit had a caption that said things like "it's giving pumpkin patch" "it's giving holiday party" "it's giving cozy" but there was like a bunch of them and I'm like okay once I can look past but like 10?? That's not necessary.

 

it’s thinly veiled capitalism

 

The fuck does “it’s giving pumpkin patch” mean?

 

Your basic fall girl outfit for family photos at the pumpkin patch. Boots, Flannel, scarf, etc

 

we’re doomed

 

but we already knew that I suppose

 

it’s what I say to my friend patch when he’s holding a pumpkin

 

I also hate how every commercial now just expects you to know who every celebrity is, like I feel like the Cover Girl ads used to say who it was now it's like eat Subway this dude is an athlete I guess

 

My old-man back pain making its monthly appearance. And I might have jury duty on Tuesday and I just assume I would be sitting in the most uncomfortable chair ever because local cheap government

 

When I buy something full price and like 2 days later it's on sale

 

Also I finally remembered to ask my bf how much conditioner he uses in the shower because we go through it way faster than shampoo. He has short thinning hair. I have long thick hair. He uses more than I do. I am appalled. I buy expensive shampoo and conditioner too. He would buy it from the dollar store if I had him pick it out. But I hate a cluttered bath/shower so I don't want us each to have entirely different products if I can avoid it. I'll have to decide what is more annoying or get one of those shower organizers maybe. How can one person use so much tho I'm like

 

The fact I can’t find any gluten free dinner rolls anywhere (there’s no Whole Foods near me so I can’t check there)

 

People who don’t stay in their lane at work and end up creating more work for me and my team

 

A big rig almost smashed into me. They turned on a red when not permitted. I had to slam on my breaks. People always try to blame cars but many of them do stupid shit

 

I have a Joji concert in 2 days (have wanted to see him live for 5 years) and the website I purchase tickets from won’t let me log into my account to retrieve the ticket information, although, the site is still sending me updates to that email.

I also developed the worst sore throat in years today. Going to have to lay out of work tomorrow because it stings to speak.

Already at peace with the idea that me watching Joji live isn’t meant to be, but two of my friends were looking forward to it. One of which is leaving the country in 2 weeks.

 

People who email like they’re texting. Take the time to type out what you want to say, think it over for a minute, and then send it in one email. Don’t send me three half-baked thoughts in quick succession.

 

Same can be applied for texting. At least keep it at no more than 3 messages

 

yeah
