Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 295

Im annoyed

 

I can get why some people enjoy them, but surely you have to admit that they don't pair with any of the other flavors of Skittles. At least with lime, you can pair it with lemon

 

Pair them? What kind of monster doesn’t separate them by color and eat an entire group all at once?

 

You gotta mix them, that's the best part!

Strawberry and lemon like a strawberry lemonade.
Red and purple.
Green (lime) and yellow - like a sprite
Orange and yellow - citrus blast

Umm that might be all I do

 

I’m too old to change now. I’ll save the mixing for my jelly belly’s

 

Lmao you're younger than me! But fair enough good sir!

 

Tell me why I find it low key cringey and creepy when a guy has “looking for you” as his name on a dating app

 

Respect your elders tiger. I’m old as shit

 

No, you're definitely right on the nose lol

 

I can't for the life of me seem to wake up before 7am and not be tired, even if I let myself get 7 hours of sleep. Sometimes I think it's better to get six and take a nap when I get home. I just gotta figure out a system because I can't keep coming into work late (even if I'm beating my boss here and no one else is saying anything about it)

 

Omg same. I actually had to come in at 6:30am today and I'm a zombie. But normally I stroll in late (but frequently work late and/or don't take breaks to make up for it) but I really shouldn't. I still get my work done but would rather just be a grown up and get there on time. I've been shooting for like once a week waking up early or on time and hope to slowly add more days in. I've tried every trick in the book people suggest and it just doesn't work for me. Last week I scheduled myself a virtual live peloton class at 6am and that actually did work at getting me up once, but didn't work when I tried it again. It's tough out there when you're not a morning person!

 

Yuppp. I have an hour break that I really don't need, but I also take the bus, so sleeping in just half an hour isn't really an option for me unless I want to take a Lyft or Uber to work, which I try to only let myself do once a week. I will work through lunch sometimes or wind up sticking around late, so I think it all comes out in the wash, but it seems like my boss gets here at like 8:50, which either means I'm here after him at 9 or way before him before 8. I just need an extra half hour!

 

when you keep trying to end a conversation but the other person won't let you

 

Happens to me at work decently often and drives me nuts. I had to pull the “I have a meeting in a minute” card more than once when nothing else will get them off the line.

 

The one guy I used to work with would do that all the time “hey can I call you real quick?” And then I’d answer his question in 30 seconds but he’d proceed to talk for 15 minutes while I just said “yep” every few minutes.

 

I had a friend buy a house recently and was surprised to learn that the buyer pays inspection fees…seems like it would be easier to force a a seller to pay and get “approved” before putting their house on the market. It seems odd to me that there are tons of houses on the market that would not pass inspections, only cost potential buyers inspection fees seems like a big waste of time for both parties

 

One of my uncles does this all the time. You will literally say, “well, great to see ya but I gotta get going” and shake his hand and you will do that 5-7 more times before finally getting a brief moment to walk away without looking like a total ass.

 

That's my dad lol but I love it.

 

My grandmother used to literally walk you to your car talking, and then leave her hand on the window frame so you can't escape while she continued to talk lol

That whole side of my family is like that though, and from a family of 9. Lots of ADHD in our blood combined with being french Canadian

 

Not being able to find a good barley or lentil recipe

 

The couple above me who seem to shower 10 times a fucking day. Just woke me up an hour and a half before I need to be up

 

They showered for 33 minutes. 33!!!

 

Damn you can hear your neighbors shower? Or are they just really loud shower singers?

 

The water pressure here is really strong so when you first turn the water on before you pull the little thingy so it comes out of the shower head it’s super loud. And they of course let that run for 5 minutes before pulling the little thingy. Once it’s actually coming out of the shower head I can kinda hear it. But I swear they legit shower 6 times a day.

 

they must be FILTHY

I'll see myself out
