Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 282

I pumped my own gas in New Jersey or maybe New York? and the dude came running out like what the fuck are you doing??

 

Yeah it’s Jersey and Oregon I think

 

had a boss that took a company diesel truck to jersey once and let them fill it up w gasoline lol. ever since then i have anxiety about fueling up in jersey

 

Side note I’m gonna need an update on how these are irl lol, like color accuracy and quality and whatnot. I got an ad for them on IG and almost pulled the trigger but I’ve been burned before

 

Oh for sure! My co workers brother had them and she says he loves them. The reviews on the croc website are hilarious if you haven’t read them

 

God I love Crocs

 

Sorry if this is said/answered later in the thread but it used to be super dangerous to pump gas so every state had people who were trained to pump gas. As years went on and it got safer most states removed it but Oregon and New Jersey remained that way and now I think only Jersey has it (or maybe it’s Oregon). And mostly I’m sure they keep it for jobs because Jesus Christ I can’t even fathom how many jobs would be lost. Trying to imagine how many gas stations there could be in Jersey or Oregon and you figure at least 2 people per gas station, probably dozens for larger chains… but anyway the main reason was safety because everything was dangerous back in the day lol

 

Lol yeah he said I glared daggers when he walked in and I had to be like IM NOT FRUSTRATED AT YOU IM FRUSTRATED AT THE SITUATION

 

Everyone at the laundromat this morning. It’s fucking 6 am.

Edit: I even got here 10 min early and already several cars in the parking lot

double edit: not this person putting DAWN FUCKING DISH SOAP in the washer dispenser

 

When people make rude comments bc I don’t want kids. I’m better around kids than adults tbh and kids just love me for some reason. So every time I’m around kids I constantly hear how I’d be a good mom and I’m wasting my life and potential bc I don’t want any. I have 3 nephews who I’m basically a second mom to. That’s good enough for me! And it’s nobody’s business anyway!

 

I've never owned any Crocs. I almost bought some Native shoes recently which are basically the same thing. might still get those. I like my Toms a lot tho (until they start to break down)

 

amen

 

I love kids and kids love me but it's the same thing as a dog to me. I like other peoples dogs, I can chill with them for a while and then go home or whatever


your kid is cool and fun to be around for a while but it's also the biggest reason why I don't want any kids

 

Lol yeah same here. People are condescending about it. I don't rule kids out completely but I get a lot of similar comments about how i would be a good mom cause I work with kids and stuff. But I've never really had that desire to parent and I enjoy my time being mine outside of work

 

As somebody who has kids and couldn’t imagine life without them now, don’t feel pressure to have kids. If you don’t want kids, don’t have them. It’s hard work, it is expensive and the world is nuts. Everyone should spend their lives doing what fulfills them and if you don’t feel that pull to reproduce that’s fine.

 

Lol speaking of kids, I hate when I'm trying to browse and shop or do something self-care and relaxing and there's a screaming kid or baby. I know it's not rly their fault and I don't blame them but yesterday I just wanted to browse and chill at target and it's like there was some sort of secret announcement for all parents of screaming kids to be there. And at breakfast this morning there was another screaming kid. If I didn't love my nephew so much I'd consider a child free community/compound sometimes lol

 

Trust me, we hate the screaming/crying too. I miss silence

 

I have enough kids for all of you that don't want any

 

Taking one for the team lol

 

Waiting all day for this ominous work meeting tomorrow, knowing it will probably be okay but just having anxiety over whether I'm in trouble or getting fired or something. It's a day-ruiner and my klonopin isn't really helping.

 

Lol yeah I felt bad for the target parents cause they were trying their best.

 

I’ve always been iffy on wanting kids but it’s probably off the table now. I love kids and all my friends have kids or are having them so that’s good enough.

 

When people take more effort to be rude than not. Like when a server asks "would you like syrup?" And instead of just being like "yes please" someone goes "well how else am I supposed to eat my pancake??" Like just say yes lol it takes more time to answer rudely and is you know rude. I used to work in a casino and that type of response was v typical for that customer base for whatever reason

 

Probably falsely blaming this on the character because I just had Friends on for a few episodes while cleaning but I feel like this is “the Chandler effect”. Instead of people just answering normally like you said everyone has to be a comedian / smart ass because they think they’re funny.
