    My IG feed used to be mostly cute/ funny animal videos but for some reason for the past month it’s been predominantly like, reels of movies from like two years ago with the caption, “They don’t make films like this anymore!! *cry laughing emoji*” and other nonsense and it’s so silly like just let me see clips of furry lil dumbasses being adorable, I need that dopamine

    Idk if I damaged my AirPods or accidentally turned on a setting or something but the last week or so the volume is so much lower than it used to be. Sometimes when I use them they will be fine and within 1-2 seconds you can hear the sound drop but the volume is at the same level. When I use other earbuds or headphones the sound is back to what it should be at. Idk if I just have to reset them or what but it’s annoying for how comfortable and expensive they are that this is happening.

    Lol I got an article recommended to me about Olivia Rodrigo's trendy vintage sneakers and they are literally just like a basic black pair of Vans and think that might be the first time I've laughed out loud all week. Only annoying because I'm assuming maybe someone got paid to write that but maybe it was AI which is also annoying. If anyone on here actually paid for a journalism degree and have to see this stuff all the time you have my sympathies

    When drive thrus use a fake person voice to ask if you're using a mobile or something. 99% of the time I just ignore it cause nobody is ready to take my order or hear me even if I do have a mobile order. But like 1% of the time it's a real person and then I end up ignoring them. Like what's the point of this?? Stop!!

    That I switched to Zyns and haven't smoked a cig in 3 months, but if I go awhile without a Zyn I still crave cigarettes and have to stop myself from buying a pack. That is how much my nicotine addiction is psychologically tied to cigarettes.

    I'm quitting vapes after seeing the recent findings about them. I've heard a million things about how they're terrible for you but never really took it seriously because it all seemed like propaganda from big tobacco, this new study is different tho. I gotta switch. nicotine pouches, and then patches, here I come

    I think I have a mild grapefruit allergy because they make my mouth numb and tingly. I kinda like that sensation though so I don't mind lol

    That my spectrum bill is $93 a month for 400 mbps now

    I could switch to Frontier and be getting 500 mbps for $55 per month after the promo year

    I got breezeline fiber in my town and landed a 2 year promo at $45 a month for 500 Mbps up and down. Sure beats the $194 I was paying for Xfinity that would go down at least once a week

    Some people on Reddit say that calling them and telling them you got a much cheaper quote from another service for the same speeds can work for them lowering your monthly rate.

    The intrusive whisper fascinates me

    I have a package coming today and the shop neglected to tell me that there’s a signature required for it. I am at work and can’t sign for it. Thankfully someone else is home who can, but it’s pretty stupid that there’s no mention on their website about it when you order.

    Also, it’s a shirt and not a high-value item. So what’s even the point?

    I used to do that all the time. Hasn't worked recently though. Add that annoying thing to the list

    way way way back in the day I ordered a dvd off Amazon that was like a $10 order and FedEx refused to just leave it like they do everything else. Went back and forth three times with the signed receipt thing saying they could leave it and eventually they sent it back to Amazon. Never before or since has anything happened so idk if someone on Amazon’s end or FedEx’s end checked the wrong box or what but it was baffling. Following week I ordered something from Amazon that was like $300 and sure shit, FedEx left it in the lobby of my building like they always do, but absolutely no way were they gonna do that with a $10 order!!!!

    Yeah now I’m wondering if maybe it was a mistake on their end. I’ve ordered with them before and didn’t need a signature for my shipment. Weird

    i deal with FedEx bullshit a lot at work and one of the funnier things is that for businesses that have deliveries that require signatures FedEx employees with straight up just make up names and fake signatures. Happens all the time where I hear “M. Bradshaw doesn’t work here, we don’t have anyone by that name” and I’m like, yeah that’s kinda just what they do lol

    Update: Well my package was delivered and no signature was needed? Huh…

    I'm a part time eBay seller and have had issues with all the various postal services. They'll make you sign when they shouldn't... Skip on signatures that should require one... Say they couldn't deliver because they "didn't have access to the address" but then just leave the package on the door step the next time... Auto charge for additional shipping saying the package weighed more than the postage said (even though I weigh every package multiple times)

    I think sometimes the driver just doesn't want to take it so they make something up. I don't really know what the issue is but I guess millions of packages get delivered successfully everyday so the failure rate is probably not as bad as we think.
