Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 477

that i'm just supposed to magically remember that a concert presale is on a random Tuesday

 

“Cuppa”

 

How car dependent the US is and the rich losers who helped make it this way. I hate being in the car. I love when I can take the Amtrak but it's so infrequent that it even makes sense to take it. I want to go out and do things but I don't wanna drive to those things. I want more trains. Don't make me drive.

 

I’d do anything to live in a walkable city. I stupidly had to move to a county that’s essentially a giant suburb that’s purely car-dependent

 

Chicago has a pretty large public transport system of trains and busses, and for the most part it rules. I got rid of my car when I moved here ten years ago and have been able to get around just fine

At this point if I were to move, strong public transport would be a must for me, which unfortunately rules out so many cool cities

 

I have to drive everywhere which sucks bc I haaaaaate driving. And all the fun things to do are at least an hour away. I would love to just move to a city but can’t afford to buy a house there and rent is too high. I’m stuck living in a boring area bc housing is dirt cheap here (bc there’s nothing to do so no one wants to live here!!)

 

Also every time I'm in a car I'm acutely aware that any of these bozos can kill me at any moment and car culture has made everyone psychos

 

I live in a city that's decent for public transport but my family lives in rural areas not reachable by those things so I'm stuck with my car. We need bullet trains because the fact that public transport can take 2-3x longer than if I drive also sucks. Maybe I need a bike

 

my boss won’t just give me the day off even though there is no work bc it’s a holiday!! I’ve had to log in every 30 mins since 8 to check if there’s work. I have had under an hour total and all this time I’m sitting around, can’t go anywhere bc I have to check back, and I’m not getting paid since we are paid on production. Absolute waste of my time!

 

that’s beyond fucked up

 

Picking up a curbside order from Walmart and getting food that expires on the same day you picked it up

 

I broke one of my pairs of glasses. I think I can fix it though. I just ordered an eyeglass repair kit.

One of the lenses fell out of frame after I rolled over on it because I forgot I put them next to me in bed, and I think I just need need to tighten the screws.

 

When vegetables that come in premade meals are always spinach or broccoli

 

Living alone is fun until I gotta deal with centipedes!!! They should not exist. Way too creepy and I want them gone forever!!! I get house centipedes occasionally but this one was HUGE!! My hand held sweeper was right there so I sucked it up in that and it started crawling out!! So I sucked it up again and got my big sweeper in case it got out again and it did!!! So I got it with the big sweeper, dumped the canister in my outdoor garbage and left the canister outside just in case. My neighbors probably think I’m dead bc I screamed the entire time like full on horror movie, blood curdling screams. I’m now sweating profusely and my heart is pounding and I think I’m gonna pass out. I’m just a girl and should not have to deal with scary things okay!!!

 

Quoting me from two years ago to say this is kinda weird, assuming I only date men is also kinda weird

 

Waking up disoriented from a nap

 

I am jealous of men who can't grow facial hair and it annoys me when they complain about it. I can grow a full beard in two weeks. Beard upkeep sucks. Itchy beards if you don't do upkeep suck. Having to shave all the time if you don't want to deal with beard upkeep sucks.

 

preach

 

As soon as I learned I have to buy an entirely separate type of shampoo if I didn't want it to itch all the time I was like nah this shit ain't for me. Then I still end up growing beards all the time because I am lazy and hate shaving.

 

I have massive car anxiety so I feel this. It's not even just driving, just being a passenger sometimes freaks me out. It feels like I am acutely tuned in to it being the single most inherently dangerous act that people do every day, and everyone else seems to put it In the back of their minds. I just can't do it. Cars just feel unnatural to me in a weird way.

 

When people refer to their outfit as a “kit”. No. GTFO.

Similarly, when people refer to furniture as a “piece” or “this piece”. I know “piece of furniture” is a thing, and that’s fine, but “piece” on its own is not. You don’t live in a museum or have antiques, it’s the same mass-produced garbage we all have.

 

Getting an interview for an office job and finding out they test for weed in the year 2025

 

they don’t want you to be happy ANYWHERE. Not just miserable at work but they want to make sure you’re not happy at home (or trying to make yourself happy at home) with the always dangerous weed!

 

every year for the last like 20 years i make a "yearly power hour"....mostly of the biggest songs of the year. It includes mostly songs that impacted my life, or songs i like, or songs that were VERY popular, or songs from movies that came out, etc etc etc etc. Anything from a commercial jingle or a joke song or a big hit or some new NFG song i love etc.

ANYWAYS

So in this decade, "meme songs" or "reels" or "tiktok popular memes" etc. is a big part of it. (i mean hey, i hear some of those background IG reel songs more than anything else so they should be on the power hour)

I rely on a LOT of lists to help jog my memory. Any list i can find to help

but why is it SOOOOOOOOOOOO hard to find any comprehensive list of popular memes, tikoks, reels for a year. Like i tried to find lists but how is "5 girls in HR in a circle being semi-cringe, GEN z boss and a mini" not on ANY list. I dont want to forget or miss anything on the power hours because i consider them somewhat time capsules at this point. That reel was EVERYWHERE for a considerable period of time and yet there was no actual list that mentioned it. Same thing with the New Zealand lady protesting. or even the song "paging dr beat emergency". Actual list of REAL viral things. Ill see some list and im like "Wtf are these things? I know these things are targetted demographically but still"

I cant believe there's no list or website that can help meeeeeeeeee.

 

It’s still cold outside and I’m mad about it!! It’s almost June!! I don’t want to wear a coat anymore!! I wanted to go somewhere tonight but it’s outside and gonna be in the 40s so I’m skipping it. And all it does is rain! I need warm weather and sunshine please!
