    It's totally fine man, doesn't change my opinion of you. I have a lot of fun talking with you in the food threads haha. I've just been very self conscious about it, but I know it wasn't your intention

    I am convinced I’m truly never gonna find jeans that fit me just right.

    I got very close today though. So I guess that’s a win

    Consumerism is just off the charts. I started skipping almost all tiktoks that are trying to sell me something and it's drastically cut down the time I spend on that app.

  5. When something like "World War III" is trending and you want to see what's happening/actual news but it's just about crypto or a bunch of memes and shitposts cashing in on the trending phrase. No wonder we're all media illiterate.

    It’s been an issue for a few months now thanks to some Microsoft Office update - when you copy something in Excel it stays “stuck” as the last thing you copy unless you escape from it or double click out of it elsewhere in a workbook. Even if you copy something from a website or elsewhere and paste, what pastes is still the last thing you copied from Excel and it’s causing all sorts of issues as I sometimes forget to double check it pasted the right thing. Even now when I’m used to hitting escape to clear it it’s still a constant pain in the ass and eventually adds up to a lot of wasted time adding that extra split second step

    My leasing company once again decided they want to inspect the apartment tomorrow with less than 24 hours notice. I was literally out here eating lunch until 1:30 and the note they left was not in my door then.

    They gave a double sided list of shit that should be clean like base boards of all things. It says if we refuse entry, we may be charged a $50 rescheduling fine. So I emailed them and said "yeah, hey, my fiance is gonna be the only one home and since one of your contracted workers busted into our apartment with the master key you gave him while she was naked in the living room, I am not going to allow you to enter here unless I am home. Please let me know the latest possible date so I can clear it with my job." Taped a letter to my door to please not come in on 8/6 and that I have left an email with leasing to reschedule as was in the letter I was given.

    I'm so angry

    They even have the gall to request that I don't be in the same room as them while they inspect to help prevent the spread of COVID. I don't give a shit. You're not going through my stuff without me hovering over your shoulder.

    @RyanPm40 you are now more than welcome to call me a hypocrite. My wife bought me this yesterday.

    I know “_____ is expensive” has been brought up a lot lately, but it is seriously stupid how expensive underwear is. You’re telling me it’s $25 for two pairs of something only I, my wife and maybe some dudes in a locker room are gonna see? FOH

    This would also kind of fit in the eternal cringe thread.

    Microsoft Teams notifications.

    I learned recently and quite awkwardly that if you leave a Teams group chat, it announces this to the chat with a notice in the chat that XYZ has left the chat.

    There are FAR too many channels and group chats where I work so at first I would mute them, then I would hide them - but as soon as someone would comment in that chat it would then show up in my list of chats - so I decided “fuck it, I’ll just leave this chat/group entirely”.

    What I did NOT know was that it then tells the rest of the chat that I have left. So for a few weeks I would leave chats/groups and then get added back in. I assume people were adding me in thinking it was a mistake and whoever set it up simply missed adding me but NO! They would add me back in because they would see that I left. So for some of these, the history of the chat/group is:

    - Marsupial left the chat
    - X added Marsupial to the chat
    - Marsupial left the chat
    - Y added Marsupial to the chat
    - Marsupial left the chat

    I’m not doing well

    my grandma (my only living grandparent) is in the hospital. she was complaining of chest pains earlier today and thankfully someone took her to the ER. she’s still there getting tests ran on her. she’ll probably be put on blood pressure meds and it’ll be alright or alright enough at least but I worry so much already that when something like this happens it really fucks with me. I know all I can do is try to be strong and be there for her but it’s still at the phase where it stings and I’m having trouble finding joy in the littlest of things

    I know it’s probably a bit weird to put something like that in here but I’ve sworn off the one place I’d usually go to talk about things like that

    They're repairing the drywall water damage on half my bedroom ceiling today. It's probably gonna take all day.

    Every tiny annoyance I have is amplified when I also remember we'll probably never know who Jack the ripper was. Or sub that out for any unsolved mystery. I'll be annoyed at something and then my brain is like "oh you think THAT is annoying, well let me remind you that we still don't know what happened to that person"
