Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 76

Was in Walmart the other day and this guy was wearing a face shield that didn’t even cover his mouth. It look like a child size face shield. The wife wasn’t wearing her mask properly either. But it’s Walmart I guess

 

this is probably more than a tiny annoyance for me but:

going to a new grocery store for the first time and having it be basically the complete opposite of what you've grown accustomed to. the layout, the flow of traffic, where carts/baskets are, etc. i had a bit of a panic attack as i felt i was the only "new" person in the store and everyone else knew what to do while i bumbled and stumbled my way through it

 

Literally that’s any of the shops I’ve had to go to since March, pharmacies included. So many people with their masks pulled below their nose & in some cases, their mouth as well. And looking into the laundry place each time I walk by, you’d think masks were illegal inside.

It’s so damn reckless and discourteous, and disheartening to see. I can only imagine how many people have become ill throughout this year because wearing a mask properly was like, slightly uncomfortable for the person ahead of them in queue somewhere.

 

I’m not afraid of covid, but I’m courteous to others because I can be asymptomatic and give it to a high risk patient of mine. I saw a lady a different grocery store take off her mask in like and tell her young so to take his off and “breathe real air”. Healthcare workers are wearing masks hours on end and people complain to wear one for an hour. Likely a cheapy level 1 masks. Health care workers are wearing n95s, level 3s. I have a hard time breathing in an n95

 

Not being able to use my Chemex because filters are always out of stock

 

Guys that call me “love” on dating apps. Not sure of other women feel about being called “love”

 

Air bnb's refund policies. Specifically during a pandemic when the host on day 4 decides to evict you for tapping on your bedframe while listening to music via headphones for two minutes and you ultimately still pay them three weeks rent. A smidge unfair I would say!

 

The people above me phone alarm vibrate is so loud it sounds like it’s coming from my room

 

Having a potentially major car issue come up in a year that I’ve barely had a reason to even own a car. Little to no vehicle expenses was supposed to basically be the only good thing about quarantine, wtf

 

The annoying people behind me are blasting music again so I banged on the wall. They got angry and started yelling at me saying they can do whatever they want . I called the front office. Guess I’ll be calling security after hours

 

I've been making plans with two of my lifelong friends for next week and they're both so goddamn hard to work with. we should've had the place we are staying reserved months ago but nothing has been done. they just act as though wishful thinking and being entitled gets you whatever you want. we were initially supposed to stay at this one place (which the person who was in charge of securing the location was supposed to check on weeks ago) but as of this morning all I had heard about it was "don't worry, it'll be fine" until I called the place myself and learned they have no cabins available. I then found a cool Airbnb that's reasonably priced and also meets all our requirements and one friend called it a dump (it's not, the other friend and I love it) and is trying to say that instead we should just camp in a tent at the place where we couldn't get a cabin all because he's a snob (and primitive camping at that place would be more expensive than the Airbnb) and it's also supposed to be pretty fucking cold here next week, and given that I have a disease which should be taken into account and I'm already wary about even doing this at all because of the coronavirus and trying to be as safe about everything as I can, I'm just done with it all if my health and opinions aren't being considered and respected how they should be. if it were just two of us, this shit would be done but the person who hasn't done shit yet is kind of just fucking us all over and it's lame and all my excitement is gone at this point

 

The fucking disrespectful annoying people the live behind me. That is a daily annoyance. These are the type of people with the attitude of thinking they’re hot shit and everybody loves them. Think they can do whatever they want. These are the type of people you can’t approach because they get mad. Can’t even fucking hang stuff on my walls because they get hostile when I have to hammer something. Like shit.

 

More than a tiny annoyance. The disrespect people have the live on the side of the complex I live at. Assholes BLASTING their music at midnight in the parking lot for all to hear.

 

The strings on bananas

The crusties around the lid of the milk jug

 

Woah. I feel like no one I’ve ever mentioned this to understands it. I always peel those things off

 

When people load the dishwasher in a way that's not at all economical.

 

Omg this was grown ass adults (as in the staff) at a place I use to work at (basically a group home). I’ve literally never met so many people with lack of common sense.

 

I’m going to find myself constantly here complaining about the people that live behind me. The noise is getting worse. Calling the front desk and security is doing nothing. These mf don’t give af! Because of covid they can’t evict (I could be wrong depending on grounds for eviction). I looked it up and i have something called “right to peaceful enjoyment” in which it’s being violated. The fact that I can stand a couple feet from the wall and turn on my recorder and you can hear the music when I play it back, yeah your music is too loud. I think I read somewhere I can refuse to pay rent without penalty for my right being violated. Every minute I’m Home I’m documenting.

Brick and mortar businesses that don’t have a phone number for you to talk to an employee

 

“I care about animals more than people” doesn’t sound as empathetic as most people think it sounds

 

Once again calling security on the noisy neighbors. Still documenting the noise! It’s almost like the guy that lives behind me does this shit intentionally as well as talk loud as fuck intentionally just to piss me off.

 

When voicemails start with a sigh

 

Called security again twice on the noisy people WITHIN AN HOUR. I hope I don’t have to call a THIRD time. I’m documenting all this (should have documented from day 1!) I’m so fed up. I’m about ready to file a complaint with the landlord. I’ve been trying to research online the best ways to file a complaint in writing. I’ve read that if I’ve filed a complaint and nothing is done I’m allowed to withhold rent or break my lease without penalty (I can’t move tho took me months to find a place). I have a right to “quiet enjoyment” which is being violated on the daily. This is unreasonable noise. Not footsteps from upstairs or cars outside or kids outside.
