I finally did and I screenshot that I unsubscribed because I've started feeling crazy like I didn't actually unsubscribe and just thought I did. I've only ever eaten there like once or twice in my life I don't need daily emails lmao

When you unexpectedly step in a liquid (for me, usually water) with socks on.

Double bonus if it’s because you dropped and ice cube and thought you picked up all the pieces until you find out later via wet sock that you did not pick up all the pieces.

 

Or when you step in a puddle or snow but you're not at home so you have to put up with it all day long

 

I get stuck doing that a lot but not by choice. Bold pedestrians just walking out in front of oncoming traffic without even looking first. And they never walk quickly!

 

I was in a in-person meeting today where the main presenter literally just read word for word every goddamn thing each of their 45 PowerPoint slides said even though they were presenting the PowerPoint on screen.

Longest hour of my life in quite some time.

 

Very much a Tiny Thing, but Letterboxd categorizes movies by premiere date, not wide release date, which is annoying because when you go back to create end of the year lists, there are movies you definitely only had the opportunity to see for the first time this year that wind up being categorized as the previous year.

 

Incredibly annoying

 

I got paint in my hair and I can’t get it out. I even used the heavy duty clarifying shampoo I have but it’s still in there. Also painting in general is the worst and I still have 5 rooms and 2 hallways left to paint and I wish I was rich and could pay someone to do it for me!!

 

Thinking about work while on vacation

 

The temperature in my new apartment gets between 63 and 68, even when I set it to 70. My toes are getting numb. Maintenance is coming again today, but they keep saying there’s nothing they can do.

 

Credit system in this country is so fucked up. My brother and his wife make less than me, plus have 3 kids and are in an enormous amount of debt but they can get approved for any card they apply to with a huge credit limit. Meanwhile, I make more than them, have an excellent score, the only debt I have is my house, have never missed a payment and I can’t even get approved for a fucking store credit card and the card I do have has a ridiculously low limit and they refuse to up it. How does that make any sense???

 

I may be too much of a pessimist with this but I think part of the reasoning is because certain companies make money off people who can’t get out from debt/bills by the fees and interest the accounts accumulate. You have a great credit score and pay all bills on time? Visa, Chase, banks, etc. don’t make any money on interest/fees from you so “why bother” with you when Joe Six Pack is 20K in debt and has 3 maxed out cards bleeding with sky high interest.

Of course there is more to it than that but I definitely feel it plays a role. When I bought my car in 2012 I had the loan paid off in under two years because I threw every spare dollar towards paying it off so I wasn’t just paying endless interest 4-5 years down the road and the bank I had the loan through called me several times essentially telling me to stop doing multiple payments and that “you only have to pay the monthly minimum, not extra” because they weren’t making any money off my loan with no interest accruing.

 

Oh yeah I definitely agree and think that is a major part which is why the whole system is so messed up. They basically encourage getting in a massive amount of debt. It's just so frustrating to do everything the "right way" and basically be punished for it. Crazy that they think I'm okay to own a home but not to like shop at Ulta or something lol But they know they are gonna be getting money off me for years with my mortgage so of course they are okay with that! I'm just trying to keep building my credit but the only thing I can really do is open another card but I can't do that bc my credit limit is low but they won't raise my limit until I.....open another card!! Endless cycle of bullshit lol

 

Instead of having someone park their cart in front of the one area of the shelf at the grocery store that I needed to get to there was literally a 12 year old / teen-ish aged girl sitting on the floor with headphones on, staring at her phone, in front of what I needed to get.

She was the ONLY person in the aisle and I left to other aisles to get other stuff, came back like 20 minutes later and she was still there, same spot. Said excuse me and she scooted over but like… who the hell wants to sit on the floor of a grocery store?

 

When I was a student going to community College and didn't have loans yet I couldn't get a store credit card, even tho I had nothing but disposable income. Only got a cc after going into debt when I transferred to a 4 year and had to start paying lol. The ulta cc is actually the old store card I have and I love it. Currently have $64 off a purchase rn. They've raised my limit a few times but they prob hate me cause I pay off the full balance every month so they make no interest and I get tons of money off my purchases.

 

I remember way back in the day that the Best Buy credit card was like the hardest card to get approved for. Eventually got to know some people who were store managers and others with positions at Best Buy who couldn’t even get approved. Became a running joke amongst some of us that the card didn’t actually exist, was just made up by some bored Best Buy executives.

 

I got a Best Buy credit card buying a tv like 10 years ago.

 

The only store that would give me a card is Target and my limit is $300 lol like damn I know I’m not rich but $300??? Now everyone else sees that tiny limit and is like no thanks so kinda wish I wouldn’t have bothered bc it seems like it did more harm than good!

 

Lol, I got a Best Buy credit card when I was definitely way too young because if I signed up that day, I would get $10 off my purchase which covered my CD copy of The Blackest Beautiful. Not the smartest decision, but I was like 18.

 

When people call the early 2000s "the 2000s"

It's gonna be the 2000s for the next 976 years!

 

i was replacing my tail light today and i broke this dumb little retaining clip so now my new tail light doesnt fit perfectly. and for the life of me i cant find a replacement anywhere guaranteed to fit the year and model of my car. its mildly infuriating because its literally a 2 dollar piece of plastic

 

Agreed but I also dislike “the aughts”. It’s a real predicament.

 

The Meijer in my city pretty much has an electronic “spider wrap” around everything over 50 bucks requiring you to check out at a register, not the self checkouts.

which is fine if you have regular registers open but for some reason they always seem to have only one register open after 4 pm which is insane.
