Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 493

Not just Starbucks, but I find that most coffee places lack in terms of sugar-free syrups. It seems most places just has vanilla or they don’t have them at all

 

Even worse is when you ask for a flavor at Dunkin that they have both sweetened and unsweetened and they default to the sweetened one. Dunkin is the only coffee I get any other way than black, I absolutely do not want a sweetened syrup when there’s an unsweetened option.

 

People that boast “secret menu” items from Starbucks or any chain coffee place. There is literally not a secret menu at any place. It’s just a glorified, extremely-customized item that doesn’t actually exist.

 

Dutch bros has a decent sugar free syrup selection. White chocolate, chocolate, caramel, salted caramel, vanilla, chocolate macadamia nut, hazelnut, irish cream, coconut, raspberry, pumpkin, peach, and strawberry.

 

I got an expensive haircut and I feel like she did a better job which was annoying. I kinda wanted to try it once and then see it's not worth it and be like yeah see cheaper haircuts from here on out! But no she did a good job smh

 

"For me, it's those frequent ads that pop up while I'm watching a video or trying to get some work done. Also, it's pretty annoying when a notification on my phone keeps reappearing right after I've swiped it away."

Are you really a doctor?

People who do a “then and now” from a year ago (are the) Same people who did “throwback Thursday” of something that happened the previous month. What’s the point? Unless it’s a weight loss or fitness photo, but sorry not sorry you kid looks the same as they did a year ago

 

When I open a can of soda but realize after a few drinks that I don't rly want soda anymore

 

I just see that as you're growing

I haven't had soda in weeks and I'm proud of it

 

Groups who take too long at mini golf with no awareness that there is a line of groups behind them waiting

Also groups that exceed the amount of people allowed per group for mini golf

 

Amazon telling me I have a “deal alert” when it’s for prime customers. -.- I don’t order enough to pay for prime. I also trying to order less because of credit card debt

 

There’s a Facebook page for my city that only posts about police scanner calls for things happening and lately there have been so many useless comments (although 99% of the comments are always useless they’re not annoying like this latest trend is to me).

Like, there was a shooting at a department store the other day that was specific to an argument between people in the parking lot not a mass shooting attempt and a couple comments were, “I was there an hour before this happened!!!!” like… ok? lol wtf does that matter and did it really need to be announced lol

 

When you’re waiting for a package you’re excited about and it makes it to the local post office but then the delivery ETA disappears the morning of and it’s suddenly at a different, farther away post office.

 

Virtual meetings that mandate cameras being on. The whole notion that having a camera on is more respectful doesn't make sense to me. I've done virtual presentations and IDC if I can see faces or not. I was going to do a voluntary training but legit didn't because it mandated cameras being on. I like to listen while I go on a walk or get ready in the morning because I feel I focus best that way. But I'm not trying to do that all on camera and I also resent the notion that not being on camera means I'm not paying attention or giving respect to the speaker or whatever

Also it's weird when it's work related because a lot of our trainings and meetings are discussing horrific or traumatic topics and while many of us are used to that, business staff and more clerical workers aren't and it seems out of touch to force folks to be on camera for really triggering and upsetting topics

 

Post Covid we started working 3 days in the office and kept working 2 from home but starting January we have to be here 4 days a week.

This is especially annoying bc the lease on the office space runs out next spring and my director has been telling us for the last year that they're probably not going to renew it and we'll get to WFH full time.

 

When something is advertised as a BOGO but when you look at the fine print it's really "but one get one 20% off" or some shit like that.

 

my manager “requires” us to have our cameras on for every meeting and while I’m not trying to be an asshole, I never turn mine on and no one has ever asked me to. I found out a few weeks ago that my manager thinks my camera on my laptop doesn’t work lol and idk why she thinks that, I know I’ve never said that and when people ask why it’s off I flat out say, “because I don’t want to turn it on”.

I’ve seen my manager and others have their camera on and flat out just look down the whole time like they’re checking emails on their phone so it is REALLY professional or “better” to have the camera on when then you’re giving up the illusion of giving a shit by doing other things lol

 

I thought that the Din Tai Fung opening in Downtown Disney would mean that the traffic at the other location close to me would alleviate and it would be easier to get reservations. Nope. Now I just live by two locations that are book solid all the time lol

 

There must’ve been a downpour last night, a bunch of my pepper plants lost flowers/buds over night. Pretty annoying since the growing season is almost over and one of the plants had just started to flower.

 

Went to watch an air show today at the nearby airport. It's only a 15-20 minute walk from my mom's house to watch from a field, so figured why not since we wouldn't have to pay for tickets to attend at the airport.

Started downpouring 2 hours earlier than forecasted lol. Saw maybe a handful of planes before that, and needless to say, after walking back for 20 minutes, I was completely soaked. Luckily just sat in a bathrobe with my clothes in the drier, but had to just drive home barefoot. My sneakers are sopping wet.

 

When Instagram recommends a cool cafe or restaurant or something and it's like across the country and nowhere remotely near anywhere I will ever go. Don't tell me about cool places I probably won't ever go to!!

 

Yeah I get so many ads/recommended posts for coffee shops across the country. I get excited for a sec a then suddenly see it’s for some random suburb in like, Illinois.

What’s more annoying is when I get an ad for a place, visit their page and there’s no mention/reference on their page for where they are located, so I have to sleuth and figure out if I’m able to visit them or not
