Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 387

I get a haircut once a year now and haven't had the same barber twice for like six years. Might go back to the same guy who cut it last year though.

 

I kinda love SportsCuts even though I don't love sports and the whole masculine haircut thing is really silly. I mostly love the shoulder massager and hot towel treatment. Been having my wife cut my hair to save money lately, though. She does a pretty good job for never having cut hair before.

 

I had an appointment for a haircut on Friday and the lady that I always go to never showed up and didn't call out so I'm pretty sure they fired her. They let me come in the next morning and comped my haircut, but the lady totally fucked it up and gave me something way too close to the alt-right undercut. I'm super bummed.

 

It's great to have a hair stylist for a fiance. Haven't gone to a salon in probably 9 years

 

I’ve probably posted this before but my cousin is a stylist which is great because there’s no awkward conversation with a stranger who may not know what they’re doing but I pay for that, literally, with her working at some fancy place that costs an insane amount. Granted I haven’t gotten a haircut in over 3 years but still, eventually I will and the price will bother me lol

 

I was worried when I moved to a new neighborhood but literally the closest barber to my apartment like a few minutes walking is great. It works out better because the other barber I was going to had a lady working for him that didn't do as well but I always felt bad asking to wait for him so I normally just let her cut it lol

 

I roll the dice with great clips and 2 out of 3 times it’s acceptable.

 

Lmao same

 

I go to Floyd's 99 because I'm punk rock.

 

I go to a lady named Rebecca

she’s a sweetheart

 

The same woman cut my hair my entire life until she moved like 3 years ago and I’m still upset about it!!! She gave me my first haircut ever and was the only person I went to after. She was the best and she only charged $15 and refused to ever raise her price for me bc i was like family she said. I still haven’t found a replacement. It’s hard to find someone who actually knows how to deal with curly hair so I’m still looking but I feel like no one will ever be as good as Gayle was!

 

I had a hair person i loved in my hometown. Took me forever to find someone I like. She was the salon owner and had my hair stuff down and I knew whenever I'd go she'd get me in and out the door in exactly 30 minutes. But then she got covid and canceled on me and never rescheduled but said she was rescheduling everyone and I have a big sense of rejection all the time so instead of being normal and just reaching out myself, I stopped going because I convinced myself that was her way of dropping me as a client.

And then I moved anyway. Still haven't found anyone I absolutely love. And everyone else takes 2-3x longer to do my hair. Always over an hour and it's miserable to me. I hate getting my hair done and/or doing my hair

 

The Great Clips by me gets the job done.

 

My cousin who is a stylist has a sister that lives 14 hours away round trip by car and there’s really only one way to get to/from her home and she makes that fucking boring ass drive every six weeks so her sister can cut her hair. And she’s been doing this for decades. Literally drives here to get her haircut and then drives home the next day. Absolutely insane to me.

 

Almost every night I put moisturizer on my face but then realize I'm thirsty and want a gaterade or to refill my water bottle but my hands are too slick with moisturizer to open the lid. Every time. I never learn. Smh.

 

I relate to this post lol

 

This is insane, but I also like the idea of having a little built-in road trip every other month for myself

 

Company I work for merged with another company and they started using a new company for payroll. I’ve had 2 paychecks with them and they have managed to mess up both checks. First check they weren’t taking any state taxes out. Got that fixed but 2nd check shows a life insurance policy when I never signed up for life insurance! Not off to a good start at all!!

 

“Low income” should be based off what you make a year not monthly. On paper the government thinks I make “too much” and that too much can just be anywhere from $1 to a few hundred which really isn’t anything compared to cost of living. Let’s start helping people more instead of making them struggle

when you take away discounts and benefits away from people who don’t make much more than they did with them, you’re making them spend more money and suffering more

 

I swear 5-6 pm goes faster than the rest of the day (although 7ish - 8 am is also up there). I’m just about to shut down work for the day and an email or call or message or something distracts me and before I know it it’s 5:30 or later or some shit.

so, I’ve since decided I’m not looking at any new emails or chats after 4 pm and not answering any calls unless I know it’s someone who’s not gonna be making work for me. How I didn’t come to this solution sooner boggles my own mind.

 

When u think the hold music pausing means they're answering but it's just a break before the music loops again

 

When have flowers delivered for your mom's birthday but their cat steals them as their own

 

I fail to see the problem those are their flowers your mom will understand

 

When me and my bf order food I get a diet/zero soda and he gets a regular one and sooooo often they don't press the bubble down on the cup lid or tell us which is which and when I ask, they act like I have two heads l Iike it's an unreasonable question

Edit: I know we can taste test them but I can't tell the difference between zero sodas, and the fake sugar in the zeros and diets make my bf sick!

 

I also hate when the clip of music is only a few seconds so it becomes even more irritating with each passing minute and/or when the automated voice says, “thank you for holding your call is very important to us and we will be with you shortly” every 5-10 seconds. Just play music!
