Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 336

The fact that the cost for an exam at the vet goes up like $10 a year

 

Not tiny, but when people think putting on their hazards makes it acceptable to park in a disabled/elder/pregnant parking spot

 

Having multiple panic attacks within a week. I’m exhausted. Thankfully I have three days off work after today.

 

Be well, and take care of yourself, Orla! Less spreadsheets!

 

I think Orla wants more spreadsheets?

 

Orla needs more spreadsheets AND less spreadsheets

 

Spreadsheets are the coolest, but I really need more time to rest

 

More spreadsheets for fun! Less spreadsheets for work. I get it

 

Spreadsheets for fun?? Okay Rivers Cuomo

 

Some people have never exported an excel of their iTunes library in 2010 and it shows

 

What can I say? You know me well

 

Probably unoriginal but when a company already has your resume but then wants you to write the same shit down on their paper before the interview.

 

I wondered for a long time if Excel had a limit on how many rows/columns/tabs you could have in a file and a few years ago I learned that answer was yes. Imagine trying to find something in there lmao

“search for ‘basketball’ and see what happens.”

“ah, yes, that is in column ZZDG, cell 75,426.”

 

Having to use a different mouse. Had to use my backup mouse today and while I thought it was the same as main mouse it is definitely not - different size and the scroll wheel is suuuuper sensitive and has a mind of its own, making everything annoying and take just a few seconds longer to get where I need to with it

 

You should be able to adjust the scroll wheel sensitivity in your computer mouse settings, so that helps with one of the issues at least haha. It's crazy how fast or slow some people have their cursor speeds too

 

I was offered the job, if the offer wasn't so good I'd have considered just declining on principle.

 

The trailer before the trailer. Enough. Stop it. I don't need to see a countdown or an announcement that a trailer is about to start included in the beginning of the trailer. Please. No more.

 

Someone on the street today shouted at me, “Are you a boy or a girl?” Me looking androgynous is intentional, so I’m not bothered by that (although don’t harass strangers on the street ever.) The annoying thing was being asked if I’m a boy or a girl when I’m 33-years-old.

 

sorry that happened

 

Thank you, but I’m fine. It’s far from the worst stranger-on-the-street encounter I’ve had. I just don’t think I look any younger than 30, but people thinking I’m much younger isn’t rare for some reason. A couple weeks ago someone waiting outside a shop next to me introduced themself and asked where I go to school and it was awkward having to be like, “Oh, I’m in my thirties; I’ve been out of school for over a decade.”

 

Meanwhile, I offered my ID to the beer delivery guy a couple of weeks ago and he just looked at me and said "eh, you look 30"

I'm not 30 yet lol

 

I’m glad you didn’t let it get to you. as someone with crippling social anxiety, it would’ve really fucked with me. people are often not understanding of a situation until it happens to them. I can’t even imagine saying something so rude to a complete stranger but I have empathy and so do you. life will teach them tho

 

Expanding on this, and I've talked about it before, but when someone does the same thing with weight. I've always fluctuated (literally will lose or gain like 30 pounds every year) so it's something I'm really sensitive about, and I know not everyone just knows that, but why make the assumption that I like being called "big guy?" Or even being told I look like I'm losing weight, for that matter? It really sucks and can fuck up my mental and body image for up to a week.

 

I had that happened to me at a funeral a few years back. This old lady asked when I was graduating high school. I was like 30/31 at the time. I don’t look that young!

 

yeah you look like shit
