Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 490

I only really go to Starbs for iced teas, or the occasional fun drink/cake pop. Their cold brew and iced coffee just isn’t it for me. It sucks since it’s the only place close to my office that’s open when I’m on the way to work

There is a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on my way to work that I stop off at sometimes which is nice. But I wish it was closer to the office

 

I gotchu

 

It was the round ones. I didn’t see those ones either, but I was only looking in the frozen section

 

Yeah usually if the algorithm is going wild feeding me videos, it's because I'm flipping through my phone and not really paying attention to the TV lol

 

I have a late/early flight where people want to sleep so I don't want a big light on, but I left my book light charging at home. Thought oh no problem there's a bookstore by my gate. Surely the bookstore has book lights. Nope!

 

every once in a great while I will do this with a throw away account (so the algorithm doesn’t fuck up my actual account and recommendations) just to see how quick and absurd it gets. Not to the same scale or absurdity but sometimes I’ll do this with Hulu/Netflix too. Start with something and then restrict myself to picking from the “you may also like” list and seeing how strange it gets lol

 

Started catching my attention a few months ago that one of the local news/weather shows has very bizarre color coding for things. How is “moderate” in RED but “major” is PURPLE? No one thinks purple = dangerous/major/extreme lol

Add in the bizarre verbiage that doesn’t make sense.

 

What does “action” mean? Like there is some rain? There’s some action in those clouds? Weird scale for sure. The jump from “moderate” to “major” is wild too.

 

We got action

 

I hate it when you use a chat support feature online and it asks you for a brief description of the issue before submitting, but then the first thing that happens when you connect with support is they ask you what you need help with. I thought I already told you that when I submitted, now I have to type that all out again??? What did you do with that information?

 

There are three kids on my street that are my son's age that are part of his friend group (my son is 8, as are two of the kids and the fourth is a little brother who turned 6 recently), but they're all considerably behind him in maturity. One of the kids is addicted to Roblox and Youtube and constantly repeats shit he heard online ("POV me doing anything...", "casual NPC be like", randomly meowing) and the other kid is hyperactive and obnoxious. The little brother has serious rage issues and if you ever try and correct him on anything, he'll swing at you, give you the finger, and tell you to shut your f'ing mouth.

I cannot stand them. These are the tiny things that annoy me.

 

yeah it’s a soundcheck and yeah it’s a cover but I see this in the local scene all the time and seeing someone reading the lyrics off of their phone completely kills the vibe for me

 

Same with doctor's appointments. When the nurse takes my vitals and whatnot first and then asks if I have any concerns I want to speak to my doctor about during this visit - I know for a fact he's gonna be oblivious to it when he comes in the room lol

 

It’s not uncommon for performers to use teleprompters for lyrics. But reading them from a phone? What the hell lol

 

Target has these very fun fall desert-shaped candles now. But all of them are unscented?

Why make a literal pumpkin pie candle and not have it smell like anything?

 

When people refer to food as fuel

 

Tj maxx has a bunch of fun candles. I want the ice cream sundae lol. Not sure how they compare in price to target

 

In my 30's I have been getting Hypnic Jerks (short involuntary muscle spasms you get right before you go to sleep) way more often. They're harmless, but very annoying and a weird sensation to me. It's like a 2 second long micro seizure half the time i'm going to sleep.

 

I get those and something they make me bite my tongue and it sucks.

 

The term “the ick”

 

preach, brother

preach

 

When someone says they’ll follow you to get somewhere because they’re unfamiliar with the area but you have no idea how they drive so suddenly there are cars in between you because they take fucking forever to turn so you gotta slow down / try to let them catch up without looking like a dumbass to everyone else on the road.

just pull up some sort of directions and follow that! Idk if the person following me is a shit driver or gonna panic if they lose sight of me for a whole two seconds lol unnecessarily complicated!

 

I have a cold and the fire alarm in my building went off at 4 in the morning so we all had to stand outside in the rain and now I can't stop coughing

 

The Hypnic Jerks would be a good name for like a new wave ska band.

 

The fact that there’s a fee to transfer Apple Cash to my card. I don’t trust the bank account transfer 1-3 business days because shit sucks
