Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 89

Leave. Please. Please leave.

Bartender/server here. Every fucking night with this shit. People who have not ordered anything in 30minutes who are still chatting away with friends. They no longer have drinks or food in front of them. Its over. Go home. I legit don't understand people who do this. You have like 5 people in masks staring at you (cause they're the only ones stopping us from going home) and they're 100% oblivious.

I'd feel so awkward being these people. I don't get it

 

The girl that works front desk at my job. She’s really nice and I don’t know a lot about her, and I don’t know how to put this but let’s just say if I did things the way she did at another place I’d already be fired long ago. My work actually trains you unlike other places too. I’m having to do things that’s she’s suppose to do because she doesn’t pay attention the way she’s suppose to. So I’m feeling like I’m having to check up on her work which I shouldn’t have to do. Because if she doesn’t get it done right then I’m having to fix it and waste my time when it should have been done the right way before it comes to the back. Also sometimes I ask her to do something it won’t get done or it’s not done right. Or she doesn’t listen/feel like she has to listen. Its not like I’m telling her what to do in the sense of telling her how to do her job, bc that’s not it, I’m telling her because it needs to be done and it’s her responsibility to do it not mine. I’m finding myself having to do things that’s her responsibility a lot more than before.

Also I was training a new person and showing them something and explaining what each thing that I was showing her was and that it can be tricky, and the girl tells my trainee how to memorize it easier and I explain that you need to be careful because some things are very close sounding/looking and she was to respond with a “well that will never be given out so you don’t have to worry”. She didn’t say it in a mean way or anything just it’s almost like she thinks she knows but she doesn’t. It’s really hard to explain. It’s kinda like she does her own thing even if some of the stuff she’s doing is wrong.

 

the vast majority of theme songs for television shows that I've heard over the course of my life

 

What a strange reasoning

 

When people video call you at work without sending a quick message first to check whether you’re available

 

Thiiis. Even if it's a regular call, we still use MS Teams at work and I don't always have my headset on haha

 

Gimme a favorite/least favorite

 

I wouldn't feel bad at all just turning that down and asking them to schedule a call

 

favorite: Twin Peaks
least favorite: King of the Hill (not because I hate the song so much but because I've heard it so many times that it's in my muscle memory and I can hear it when I close my eyes)

 

I’ve never given Twin Peaks a shot, but just listened to the theme and yeah that’s a great one! One of the few themes I could see being on a record or something

Lmao @ being haunted by the KOTH theme, that’s definitely not a song you want rattling around in your head at all times

 

that The Republic of Wolves have two different listings in the Amazon Music app. Just put them together! It’s the same band with the same spelling so I assume it’s a weird “behind the scenes” issue they’ve yet to fix after at least a year

 

The phrasings and anticipatory buildup of "Ok. alright, you know what? I'm just gonna say it... I am, I'm saying it, IDC I'll say whatever, I'll say anything, k?..." and it's like either barely an opinion or something discriminating and awful

 

I don’t care that you broke your elbow.

 

Also - don’t call me. When people at work call, they talk to me for 45 minutes about such a wide range of things that I no longer remember what they called about. Send a short email and I can reference it at any point, when I’m ready and able to deal with your problem.

 

which makes me think:

don’t write your version of War and Peace in an email. I’m not reading all of that.

Every time I open an email I look to see if I’m tagged somewhere (usually super helpful) and if not, I look to see how long the email is. If it’s more than two paragraphs I mark it as read, and close out without reading. Been doing this for months, have yet to have it bite me in the ass (*knock on wood*)

 

The disrespectful annoying people that live behind me both annoy and frustrate me. Always. Always so fucking loud at late hours of the night when I’m trying to sleep. They need to get a fucking job. Security does nothing and neither does management. Management claims they’re “not doing any wrong”. I explained how it’s always after hours it’s the worst and all I get is an “ok”, but no solution because well what are they going to do at fucking midnight

 

Ridiculously small serving sizes on nutritional labels. This was a real eye opener when I started counting calories because what I assumed was calories for the whole thing was way way off. It's something tiny that the average person is going to eat more than in one sitting.

 

1 pint ice cream = 4 servings lol ok

 

I got a frozen pizza that's way smaller than average. The box is like maaaybe the size of a traditional cheap banquet tv dinner box. But the serving size is for half the pizza. Like okay lol.

 

Meanwhile this big package of spinach that I have says one serving is the entire package

 

When a record you ordered in December isn’t expected to ship until June. I totally get it with the demand and limited pressing plants and all but still a bummer.

 

Targeted ads for specific things that only start to occur after I’ve been sold on the product. Like how most of my mobile ads are suddenly featuring the exact glasses I recently bought, how Instagram frequently pushes artists on me that I’ve recently followed, or how Spotify will be like “Hey! Check out this new record!” like immediately after I’ve already spent the morning listening to it

 

Patients that make a fuss about having to follow a certain protocol

 

this! So smart to track what I look at but too dumb to realize I bought it and that I don’t need it recommended and no I’m not gonna buy it again any time soon. It’s not food. It was a winter coat. I don’t need a new one every month.

And also, getting ads for shit you don’t care about but bought as gifts. I almost feel like I have to make a dummy email / Amazon account just for holiday shopping so I don’t get stuck getting “recommendations” for pajamas for a 4 year old all year just because I bought some for my niece for Christmas

 

When targeted ads show you something you actually want. If I ever buy something from a targeted ad I always make sure to buy it on a different device on a different network than the one that I saw the ad on. Super petty but I don’t care haha
