Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 422

This is always infuriating

 

That happened to me with Pearl Jam this year. I got a ticket to one of their LA shows, and then three weeks before the show, they get announced for Ohana Fest, which even though it’s about the same distance for me as it would be for the venue in LA, it’s on a weekend and also a substantially easier drive.

Thankfully I was able to sell my LA ticket, so now I’m going to that

 

When someone keeps not replying all in an email thread so I reply and add everyone back on, but they keep doing it. Even when I include on my email to remember to reply all. It just makes things so confusing and disjointed. I mean the opposite problem of people replying all when they don't need to is also annoying but my current issue is I want them to reply all. There's a reason these other people are on the thread!!

 

Wednesdays

that’s it. That’s the post

 

How fucking expensive everything is

 

I wish I could pay someone like $10 to stand at a good spot for a concert for me during the openers and then I just stroll in during the band I want to see and take the spot. The standing around hurts my back and shoulders

I used to love a stacked lineup and now I'm like

 

I used to be all about being in the front for shows, but now I can’t anymore. Now I just stay in the back and lean against a wall and I love it. It hurts my back and shoulders too to stand in front now. Not to mention I’m 6”2 and feel guilt for blocking people’s view

 

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.

 

Everyone in my apartment building is setting off fireworks outside.

 

Family members with no basic understanding of boundaries

 

"Friends" with the same issue

 

phone carping:

if I wanna type this it autocorrects to thus

if I wanna type thus it autocorrects to this

make it make sense

 

When a song you really like isn’t on any streaming services so you have to resort to YouTube

 

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

 

My fiance got impetigo from some kid at her work and now I seem to have symptoms, too. Ugh.

 

when you’re legit rooting for someone and they let you down

 

People who actively post on LinkedIn, it’s so fucking fake

 

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.

 

When you can't talk in a dream for some reason or are slurring your words and can't get them out

 

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

 

People who take every inconvenience or time they’re told “no” as a personal slight

 

I have missed shows due to weddings and when they ended up divorcing I was so bitter lol
