Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 419

but did they have an accent

 

A very strong Buffalo one

 

I was contemplating the logistics of what it it would take to do a solo no driving trip to Orlando from Tampa, and I just found out Greyhound bus tickets from Tampa to Orlando and back would cost much less (like $19 each way) than the Uber fares taking me to and from the bus station. That is wild.

 

When people treat wild animals like their personal playthings.

Like shit like this pisses me off beyond belief

 

people are the worst

 

Not going to watch that because I know it's going to make me mad

 

There was a video awhile back from my area of bunch of people at the beach bumrushing a manatee to give it pets and hug it, and it might of been the most pissed I have ever got at a non-political internet thing.

 

manatees are incredible so I somewhat understand the impulse but goddamn control yourself, people.

 

I also feel like there’s a strong possibility that you’re one of the few cool and good people in your area. not to generalize but I guess I just did

 

I take nature respecting to a weird level though. One time a squirrel died on the lawn in front of my apartment and was laying there for a few days. My neighbor's girlfriend kind of looked at me weird when I told her I that even though it's gross to look at I chose to leave it be and didn't put it in the dumpster because I didn't want to mess around with the balance of nature. Sure enough the next day an egret took it and probably fed it to it's chicks. Circle of life motherfuckers.

 

I have some type of PTSD from rain/water damage in houses/apartments dating back to high school and my first car and the house we lived in at the time.

Sunroof leaked no matter how many different people looked at it and products tried. And not just a drip, might as well have just removed the entire goddamn seal around the sunroof it was so bad.

Meanwhile a squirrel had made a home in our attic right above my room and even after years of complaining my parents ignored it. Came home from work and I could hear clear as day water splashing in my room on the second floor. Parents were just zoning out watching tv, oblivious. I ran up upstairs and my ceiling light was dangling as water literally just poured in through the hole. Even the goddamn wall where my windows were was leaking from where wall met ceiling. Legit thought the wall might just crumble in with how much water was in the room and pouring down.

I moved out the following day and my parents grumbled about how expensive it was to fix and I happily reminded them of all the times I told them to look into it.

My current apartment has some weird water sounds in the wall behind my toilet. Mirrors the sounds of water in a large bucket being dumped down stairs/splashing noises. Maintenance says it sounds odd but doesn’t do anything else. I have all like 20+ times I’ve reported this documented so I don’t get fucked by it (besides the inevitable repairs that will be needed and require me to temporarily move out or whatever).

 

I was on a nature tour once and the guide was very pushy about having everyone get pictures with the animals to the point where it really felt like we were intruding on their space at times. I don’t need a picture right next to the animals! Just let me observe them in their natural habitat.

It’s probably an unfortunate side effect of guides having to rely on tips. There’s probably annoying tourists who will tip better if they feel like they can do shit like that.

 

I live in an area with a very high Tesla ownership. Sometimes I see a Tesla with a very cool color/paint job and I’m like “man, that rocks.” And then I get mad at myself because I remember that Elon Musk sucks and Teslas also kind of suck it makes me reevaluate my life a bit

 

My parents were told of a house that’s going to be for sale soon and they think it would be “perfect” for me. I’m very amused and slightly alarmed at what they think would be perfect for me but I can’t even look at the damn thing because they proceed to send me the incorrect address twelve times in the last hour.

 

The Ross stores near me all SUCK

 

Car insurance commercials. I feel like for decades they have all said, “you could save hundreds by switching to X” and I’d love to find one example of that being true because that feels like total bullshit unless changing companies also came with going from driving a sports car to a 10 year old Ford or Subaru

 

Limu Emu is life though

 

some are pretty good tho

 

Never forget this guy

 

real talk: GEICO and Progressive have the best commercials on s pretty consistent basis

 

I( don't know much, but I do know my friends and I would've killed that Australian talking Lizard with a hammer

 

I like geico but I think the Allstate mayhem commercials are their closest rival

 

also a worthy contender

 

The Mayhem commercials drive me nuts lol

 

I haven’t had cable in years, so I have no idea what mascots are still a thing lol
