Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 283

Getting charged $62 to transfer my internet when I just took my router from the house to my apartment. They literally didn’t do anything. Fuck Comcast.

 

Talked to someone on the phone so now I'm going to be up all night replaying every single thing I said and going over how weird/awkward I think I came across. And it was just the home inspector guy! Why do I even care what he thinks?? I'm going to meet him 1 time and never see him again! Why am I like this????

 

your social anxiety sounds just like mine

 

I seriously was nervous bc I had to drop a check off at the realtor's office today. The office was closed and all I had to do was put the check in a box but I was still anxious about it. Whyyy?? I hate this shit so much! Definitely looking into therapy again when things calm down some bc I've been a mess lately.

 

I remember talking to (I think) a coworker a few years ago on the phone for the first time after communicating only via email for years and the first thing she says is, “you don’t sound like I thought you would” and I’m like “hey what a weird way to start a conversation!” lol it didn’t stay weird or really bug me after that but could definitely see people getting irked by hearing that

 

Meanwhile, on Friday I had a customer asking if we can rush a project so he has it in time for a big event next week and ends the email with “no pressure if you can’t”.

I email him that we can’t and even go out of my way to provide a replacement for the event so at least I’m not just saying no.

and this fucking hippie emails me back saying, I kid you not, “I am a firm believer in the positive. What are our options?”

I’m desperately trying my hardest to not email back some snarky bullshit.

 

Don’t even get me started on weird ass emails lol I email everyone from corporate higher ups to caregivers (IT for a nursing home company) and it is wild how some people can completely ignore a straightforward email just cause it doesn’t say what they want. Like, I’m trying to help you and I always try to give options like M.Jones above rather than just saying no. If you don’t work with me after that, I’m going by the book 100% no matter how inconvenient for you.

 

I've said it before, but when I look up a restaurants menu online and am forced to download it. Or if I have to pretend like I'm placing a mobile pickup order to see it.

 

There’s a restaurant we order from a lot at work and after placing the order they send you an EMAIL to tell you they will TEXT you your pickup code.

Just put the code in the email! Why are you emailing me to tell me you’re texting me lol

 

not a fan of seeing a dozen pdfs on your phone and they're all menus for a place you went to once

 

And some have separate menus to download for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, etc. It's ridiculous lol. I don't eat meat so I feel the need to check menus to make sure I can find something and so like 90% of the menus downloaded to my phone, I've never even eaten there lol

 

My car insurance going up like $20 a month even thoug (knock on wood) I haven't had any kind of accident/ticket/whatever

 

Closing costs are $3000 more than I thought. Bc of course they are lmao and when I ask why they are that much “everyone raised their fees bc of covid” fuck offfff!!! Love how everyone else can charge more but my pay hasn’t gone up any!!! So now I have less for a down payment so my monthly payment will be more.

 

How often I have to read about JK Rowling.

 

@Jams just sent you a pm

 

The way some corporations and businesses have taken advantage of consumers during covid is so messed up. Many blaming it on inflation like they don't have record profits!

 

My mom bought her house a little over a year ago and comparing the fees I'm being charged to what she paid is seriously disgusting. The appraisal fee literally doubled! Why?? Her total closing costs were $2500 less than mine and her house cost more.

 

Not exactly tiny, but the shame I feel for not being married and with kids already -_-

 

I know sometimes it has to do with your credit score and such too. Such a ridiculous process

 

On tiktok all these people are using skincare and makeup and putting the bottles directly to their face to squeeze out the product and I don't understand why. Why not just squeeze it into your hand? Sometimes it looks v awkward as they hold it up to their face and squeeze out these lil lines of product and maybe I'm overthinking but I feel like it may contaminate the bottle or something?

 

My insurance lady never answers her phone. You always have to leave a message and they'll call you back. But I work 8-5 which are their exact hours so I can only call on my break but by the time they return my call, I'm back at work. So it's a never ending cycle of phone tag. I just need a quote to send to the mortgage lender people!!

 

Everything closing at 5 makes my life so difficult. I chipped my tooth last night and looks like I'm just gonna have to deal with it bc no dentist in my area that accepts my insurance is open later than 5. And I'm going to need my PTO when I move so guess I'm screwed! My dentist is open until 5:30 but he won't let me come in at 5:15. I have to be there at 5 but really 4:45 bc they want me 15 mins early. And the receptionist was like shaming me bc I haven't been there in 3 years. Well that's why!! Sorry some of us don't get weeks of PTO and can't afford to take an updaid day off!

 

I have a couple of contractors doing some drywall work upstairs, they’ve been working in the house for a week. Well today the plan was to get all the sanding done, so I asked if they’d tape over the vents before they started. Can’t have a bunch of drywall dust circulating my air vents, y’know? They’re like yeah of course, we were going to anyway! All is good and fine until 20 minutes later when I’m working in my room and suddenly one of them steps through the damn ceiling lol — he taped the vent and then forgot it was there. Scared the hell out of me and obviously made a giant hole and a huge mess. But whatever, I dunno, shit happens, as long as he’s not hurt I laugh and take it in stride. The Tiny Thing That Annoys Me though is that he totally tried to blame me, saying he didn’t see where it was because I wanted the vents taped off! Like it’s my fault he made no mark of where it was. Just accept you made a mistake my guy, no one was mad at you but now I kind of am!

 

I realized today that my boss doesn’t know how many vacation days I get a year and I stupidly did not realize this until I started to respond to my manager with, “you keep making it seem like I’m gonna go on vacation for weeks at a time. I can’t do that I don’t have that many days… (mumbling the next part under breath) oh fuck…”

Then she asked how many days I get and asked if I was sure and then mumbled “oh you know what, maybe I’m remembering wrong maybe I’m thinking back to when I was hourly…” and left it at that.

Me being me I wouldn’t abuse the privilege even if I could because I’m an idiot (fuck all companies and work) but I gotta stop talking when it’s not gonna do me any good lol

 

WTF! The guy upstairs literally dumped beer on my window!! I heard a noise and looked over and saw liquid streaming down. There have been serval times where I’ve woken up and open the blind to see some residue on my window but was unsure where it came from and didn’t want to jump to conclusions. For sure falling the leasing office in the morning about this
