In this same universe, and I’ve probably posted about it before, but when people don’t see/read the “you are not responding to the latest message” at the top of the email and reply with questions or other shit that was answered at 1 on but they’re responding to an email from 9 am and now everyone’s brains melt and they’re confused as shit about what is going on.
Once in a while someone within my agency will accidentally email everyone who works for my agency in the entire state and it will be super obvious it's an accident and instead of using obvious context clues to realize this, there's always several boomers who are like "I don't know what's going on. Why did you email this to me!? Take me off this email!" And then a few more chime in with the same, then someone will exasperatedly explain how to ignore the emails and take themselves off or to stop replying all and repeating the cycle, then someone will criticize that person for being short and "rude" and the cycle will go on for a while. There is even lore around it now and inside jokes stemming from past ones that gained traction. It's ridiculous lol
Oh god yeah, been there. Feel like it’s a yearly tradition at this point. I think my favorite is the people that angrily reply to the people to stop replying as they just add to the problem and make it more likely for people to respond and/or see the email chain lol.
phone carping: if I wanna type this it autocorrects to thus if I wanna type thus it autocorrects to this make it make sense
I've been so mad at Spotify because a bunch of songs just disappeared off my liked songs playlist. Welp. Turns out I accidentally hit a genre tag so only those songs were showing and it took me like a month to notice that was the problem lol
related to this kinda, but its always been a pet peeve of mine when people post long, very official-sounding announcement posts to social media. the "im excited to officially announce ive officially accepted a position at x/completed y/etc." type. we're all your grade school friends, college friends, cousins, and coworkers you curse to and talk shit about management with, we're not a room full of NYT reporters or recruiters. just tell us what you did, you're stoked as shit, and have fun with it.
The LinkedInLunatics subreddit is a lot of fun. Far more disturbed people out there than I thought which removes some of the fun but for the most part it’s great. I have a profile simply to have my resume somewhere so I can copy/paste for jobs if needed and every once and awhile I see a post from a coworker and it’s just the most bland vanilla pro-white collar corporate America bullshit that everyone else posts.
Jimmy Eat World is playing a free show here next month and my wife and I, who love them and have never seen them, have to miss because she's in a wedding in Cleveland. I want to die
I am reading that your wife has a wedding in Cleveland, sounds like you might be free to go see one of your favorites for free? And I'm jk - I get shared experiences / bucket lists that you can't jump into alone.
Something that’s been happening a lot lately that really irks me is people randomly showing up at my office wanting to try out my company’s products. Like, it’s cool if you give us a call ahead of time and set up an appointment, but we, you know, have work to do and can’t stop just to help you out of the blue…
I'm kind of losing my mind at my bad luck with electronics lol. Galaxy S21 came with a square burned into the display where the fingerprint reader was housed. Replaced it, and it was actually a really solid phone, but within 6 months the battery couldn't last me through half of a day. They also eventually pushed an update that bricked phone calls for a full month. Thank God my Pixel 7 easily lasts me an entire day with battery to spare. Galaxy Watch 4 just randomly shuts off its display and won't turn back on when moving my wrist. I have to push a button to check the time. Even happens with always on display enabled. And don't even get me started on LG phones... G4 had missed touches, a delayed unlock, and eventually bootlooped during a software update. G5 had a broken GPS antenna in 3 different replacements. V30 had a grainy OLED display. My first HP pavilion laptop just wouldn't boot when I got it. I sent it back for them to repair it, and when I got it back it STILL wouldn't boot lol. Then my HP laptop at my first job out of college had a line of dead pixels within a week. Then my MacBook pro from work had its track pad stuck down out of nowhere. I just ordered some Galaxy Bud Pro 3s and seemingly everyone on Reddit are having severe defects to the point where Samsung has temporarily delayed production in some countries that have better laws than the US. SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP lmao.
my street has an endless loop of construction crews fixing it up and repaving it but breaking a water main and then the water workers fix the main but leave the road all shitty
