Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 212

I've has horrible luck with mobile orders lately. Yesterday I told a drive thru my mobile order name and they said pull forward no problem. I gave them my name at the window and she said "Tiana?" I said, Kiana with a K. She asked me to confirm I sent it to the correct location, which I did. She looked so perplexed and said it wasn't there and after a while she had her coworker look for it. Immediately He said "kiana, right?" And I said yep and he found it immediately. Idk what name the woman thought I was saying but I feel like it was a very logical progression to think "hmm this customer said a name that is very close to Tiana which is what I thought I heard. Maybe it's the same person" but naah. This actually happens to me frequently at Starbucks as well. They think I say Tiana and are so thrown off. They must think Kiana is pronounced in a very different way that they don't associate the two? Idk.

Today I told the drive thru lady my mobile order number and she just said nothing. Almost like they started but were cut off. Sometimes they have a pre-recorded voice talk first which is another annoying thing, but I could tell it was a real person who asked if she could help me, but then she just vanished. I sat there a while unsure what to do because anxiety. I was there like a while. I convinced myself they had said to pull forward before being cut off, so I barely pulled forward when a male voice asked if he could help me. Told him my order number several times. Told me to pull forward. Got to the window. Asked me to park. He eventually shows up with no bags. Says my order got erased and asked what I ordered. I show him my phone, assuming he'll either write it down or say it in his headset to another worker to input, idk. Nope. He is trusting memory. Looks at it and says "okay, so you ordered a kids meal..." we did not order a kids meal. He ended up giving us an extra fry but forgetting most of my order. He remembered all of my bfs order tho smh!

Like wut is happening.

 

And now that I think of it, last week at Starbucks the worker funnily enough also named Kiana gave me one drink but not the other. She said no other drink printed. I assumed I maybe didn't add my bfs drink to the mobile order correctly and double checked and nope, it was there. Now I'm even more perplexed cause usually I have no issues and I've had 3 with 3 different places in a week!

And wow yes I should stop going in drive thrus so often.

 

My stupid ass left out my coffee creamer the other day and I had to toss it. This shit is getting expensive too

 

waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep

 

Feeling exhausted but not being able to fall/ stay asleep.

 

@Kiana I feel your frustration! Not so much with the name part but there's been so many times we order through an app or online and go pick it up and bring it back home and my wife's order will be missing or not correct or something, only hers nobody else's. What's crazier is my wife never gets anything too crazy or over customizes anything just gets things how they come. I on the other hand customize practically everything.

 

Developing a new allergy

 

Coworker went to Office Max to but some misc shit for the office and saw this sign by their printing area.

On one hand I admit the honesty of just saying, “we’re so fucking far behind go somewhere else” is great. but then the weakness to people please by asking them to submit online lol. You just KNOW someone is gonna see this sign, submit their order online, and complain and act shocked when it isn’t done on time or they give them a super far out date.

 

Lol yeah it's the same with my bf and I. Except I don't eat meat so I do customize that if needed and ask for stuff without. When we first started dating he was shocked at how often I would still get meat in my order, even on things that did not list meat in the menu description.

What made me lol a bit about the drive thru order yesterday was they forgot most of my food but remembered the amount of extra condiments packets i requested. I feel like that's the part drive thrus always forget!

 

Oh yes give me all the condiments! That's the worst when you pay extra for more sauces and they don't give them to you

 

I opened the door for a door-to-door salesman (on accident) and he took a look at me and said “did I come at a bad time?”

 

ALWAYS a bad time

 

I look young for my age and it’s annoying as hell!! Wanted to light a candle but needed a new lighter. Went to the dollar store to buy one and they asked me for my ID. I’m 31 lol I just brought my debit card with me bc it’s 2 mins from my apartment and that’s all I wanted so now I gotta buy one later when I have my ID on me. I’m used to getting carded but seriously didn’t think I’d need it for a lighter!!

 

I look 40 with my beard, 19 without it, and 30 in actuality. The woes of a baby face.

 

I blame it on kids like a boomer. Kids these days ruin everything.

Was buying, idk, super glue or some shit from a home improvement store (so not Elmer’s super glue) and I was at the self check out and i had wait for someone for about 5 minutes because they have to check ID’s for that bullshit because kids sniff it or mix with ice cream or whatever the fuck.

 

Mixing super glue with ice cream?

 

One time when I was on vacation they refused to serve me alcohol even though I had my ID. They said anyone who looks under 21 and has an out of state ID cannot be served. I was like 28 at the time, too. I had never heard of that before but they said it was state law (Massachusetts). I basically never drink either but really, really wanted one that day!!

 

I was on vacation once when I was 30 and the bouncer legit almost broke my id because he kept bending it and trying to peel the front off because he thought it was fake and that I wasn’t 21. I was livid.

 

Also I’m buying a suit for my friend’s wedding and this dude is out on the sales floor just completely taking his t-shirt off and trying dress shirts on. Like go to a fitting room you weirdo. No one wants to see you half naked.

 

That's super weird, I always thought it was people under 25 that couldn't be served in MA. I know that's the rule at TD Garden

 

don’t get any ideas, Colby

 

That's prob what it actually is. I just look like a child apparently so she probably didn't want to risk it lol

 

I'm also realizing that it was like 10 years ago when I was made aware of that law, so they could have changed it. Jeeze that makes me feel old lol

 

I think it’s still a thing, I went to the Beanpot a few years ago when my brother was 24 and I had to get his beers for him. Guessing just because of how many out of state college students are in Boston? Always thought it was weird.

 

Annoys me more when I do it than others but when you include unnecessary words to describe something. Just texted someone that included the phrase “old fossils” and immediately responded with, “didn’t want you to confuse them with, you know, young fossils or anything”. Like, the word “fossils” does the job lol I didn’t need to include “old”! That’s what all fossils are lol
