Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 381

I'm not in the office but my boss is sometimes and she just got yelled at for never using a headset lol

 

Once again I nearly got side swiped by someone making an un permitted turn. Same intersection/turn leaving work. This time it was almost by a pick up truck. Too many people make the un permitted turn. It was so close I almost thought he was going to hit me. I would have been livid!! He saw me coming but didn’t bother to stop. Half the people don’t stop and you’re slamming on your breaks. I also don’t know why my car didn’t collision assist like it’s suppose to. Same with last time

 

This girl steps off the subway to let people get off but stands right in front of the exit so people having to maneuver around her. I guess she was trying lmao but like move to the side or something lol I don't get it

 

Work just told us they are merging with a new company next week. Now we gotta redo all our paperwork, direct deposit, etc. And all my PTO I had saved up I have to cash out my last paycheck of the year. I’m so mad. I had almost a week of vacation time saved up (the max I’m allowed) and now I gotta save it all back up again. It’s gonna be a nice paycheck but I was wanting to take a week off!

 

The fact that other states have taxes, mann. I got so confused when I amazoned my sister's Christmas gift to her in Colorado

 

To not pay state taxes would be a delight

 

Running something over in the road and not knowing what it is. Also the fact that I couldn’t see it in time to dodge it. And me not knowing if it messed up my tire

 

Rugs. They just make it harder to clean. I just threw mine out because I am tired of having to vacuum it all the time when just sweeping and swiffering my tile is easier and quicker.

 

When people use office jargon, especially when they don't know what it means.

A guy just said "I'll give you back some time" when ending a Zoom meeting, even though the meeting went over.

My boss used to say he'll be "out of pocket" when taking time off and I asked him what that meant and he said he admitted he didn't know, he just heard his director say it.

I now hate when people say "To your point" because it's never followed by anything useful, just a rehashing of what I said.

 

to your point: Christmas is just around the corner

 

These kids ride their dirt bikes/scooters every night which normally would be fine. But it is dark at 5:00 and the dirt bikes/scooters have no lights and they seem to always be wearing dark clothes so it’s impossible to see them until you are about to hit them with your car. And they frequently ride right down the middle of the street. Feel like an old person complaining about the youths but seriously!! Either get some lights or get off the road!

 

Women’s athletic uniforms getting shorter and shorter (aka more “revealing”). Leotards are basically thongs now. Basketball shorts are half the length they were when I played basketball many a year ago (same with soccer shorts). I’m sure there’s more sports that changed style over the years

 

My idiot cat eating things that could kill her. She ate ribbon off a tree ornament today and now it’s just a waiting game hoping she passes it.

 

Accidentally rubbing your face after touching hot peppers. Just wiped my nose after eating something with scorpion pepper sauce and feeling it.

 

When people put their shopping cart right in front of your car because they’re too fucking lazy to walk to the many stalls to rerun the cart

 

Having a sore throat. The most annoying kind of sick.

 

Last night I got home from the airport and not an hour later at like midnight there was a SWAT OUTSIDE saying over an intercom they were trying to arrest someone who was in the apt below us and they did two like explosive or flash bang things that were super loud and made the whole apartment shake and also why we were gone a package got delivered which was a week before I was told it would (it said it would be delivered the day we got back from vacation and it was delivered the day we left) and because we were gone someone stole them from our door. It was a pair of shoes I'd wanted forever and finally pulled the trigger after like a year because they were on sale for 50% off but I still paid like $100. I just want to cry.

 

JESUS!

That’s insane and could cause some serious PTSD issues for people with all of the SWAT stuff. Especially in 2023 I’m surprised we don’t see more stories/videos of people during lockdowns and whatnot and the unexpected impacts that could have. Would be terrifying just to have them outside with a megaphone and not knowing who they’re looking for or why but to then experience a flash grenade/bang thing would be insane.

 

Yeah the first time it went off I thought it was a shotgun and there was a shootout happening below. I quickly realized it wasn't, but the second explosion was so big. I went downstairs today and their door was blown off its hinges or kicked in i cant rly tell. They just kept repeating "[name] you are under arrest come out with your hands up. All other residents stay inside." For like 30-60 minutes on a megaphone. If I had kids I'd be livid as I'm sure they were terrified. The bangs were so loud. I looked it up today and I guess he was arrested for murder. I get u gotta do what u gotta do but legit like 30 minutes after getting in from the airport it absolutely sucked.

 

Signed back up for bumble. Did they get rid of their distance and age filter?

 

Why can I not just fill out forms myself??? I don't need a computer to do it for me!! I have to redo all my tax papers for work and the new payroll company is a fucking joke. Trying to fill out state tax form and it says if you are a dependent on someone else's taxes put 0, otherwise put 1. Yet no matter what I do the damn computer automated form puts a 0. I cannot get a hold of anyone bc there is of course no email, only a phone number and of course no one is ever in the fucking office. And I have until Friday to do this. I feel like all I do is waste time constantly. It would be so much easier for me to just manually fill out the damn form!

 

Randomly placed podcast ads, especially when they’re louder than the podcast and are placed right in the middle of a sentence.

 

Pretty sure there’s this intersection I’ve driven by for the last 4 years that changed a u turn to a no u turn. The road is plenty wide enough. People u turn there all the time. Also if I need to make a u turn I always check. If I can’t I don’t risk it even tho people make those turns. Was driving home today and got to the normal light and noticed it said “no u turn”. I also really hate that street and I only went that direction because going the opposite direction with non stop traffic is a challenge. People turning left and right into shopping centers you get stuck because someone can be blocking your path when the cars are clear on your side.

 

Wife and I finally caught COVID after a hell of a three-year run. Unfortunately, we've been planning a surprise party for her 30th birthday this Saturday, so I will have to coordinate with the venue and about 40 guests to attempt to reschedule.
