Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 406

The grownass woman I sit next to at work that says she has to "tinkle" or "go potty".

 

Meetings should only be between 10-12 and 2-3.

 

Actually, people book meetings in general haha

 

Obligatory

 

I flat out decline anything between 11:30-2 pm.

11:30 start? Runs the risk of bleeding into 12.

12 start? Fuck off.

12:30 start? Fuck off.

1 pm start? Fuck off, I need to gently ease into the afternoon.

1:30 eh, I’m still not ready to pretend to pay attention yet so no.

2 pm. Fine, whatever.

 

When people put their hand luggage in the overhead compartment on planes, taking up all the space so I have to either put my full size carry on in the rows behind my seat (making getting off the plane a bitch) or having to check it. If it fits under the seat just put it there!

 

Its been said time and time again in here, but people who come to work sick, especially salaried with PTO. A coworker was talking about how terrible they feel, and all the cold meds he's taking and how he's so sick that he chugged a cup of coffee and couldn't taste it. I have my door closed but he's right outside my office coughing. I have a vacation in 10 days and I don't want to get sick. JUST STAY HOME. Or at least keep to yourself and try to go unnoticed. People who just complain and whine about how sick they feel are just oblivious, rude, or most likely, a combination of the both. Don't do something you shouldn't be doing and then talk about it like it's totally normal and acceptable. The conversation wasn't to me - if it was I would have directly said 'why are you here?'. Just keeping my head down and staying away as much as I can but we have limited bathrooms they keep going to, a small break room we share etc.

 

I appreciate that my boss has simply told me never to come in if I'm feeling sick because he doesn't want it. He says to take one of my sick days or simply work from home if I'm feeling up to that. I've never had a job like that until now. And our secretary was ALWAYS coming in sick because of her young kids.

 

Had a sick employee next to our cubes once. He was literally coughing and sneezing every 30 seconds. When he finally left, my boss just let us know how pissed he was at "coughy mcsneezy over there" and reiterated to us to never come into the office while sick

 

I’ve had nearly every coworker come in to work with covid at some point but I have the immune system of a god and haven’t been sick in over 4 years

 

ok well you jinxed it

 

I’ve said this many times over the years and I’ve had this response many times haha

 

I mean, you could

 

When people call all criticism “slander”

 

I feel like only corporate weirdos say slander. Like I can't imagine it being used casually but I might pull it out in an argument though now.

'you never clean'.
'That's SLANDER!'.

 

Years ago before covid I went to work sick which in retrospect lol cause it made no difference if I was there or not. I tried to be subtle and pretend I wasn't sick but my boss called me over and was like yeah don't come here if you're sick. That night I took medicine and found out that stuff can actually help! My dad is the type who doesn't go to the doctor unless he's dying and just finally went to the dentist for the first time in like 25 years. He conditioned me to think medicine didn't rly do anything lol. That night I came home and took nyquil and woke up completely fine and was amazed. Unfortunately I've never recovered from subsequent colds so fast again.

 

I quite literally shit my pants today for the first time in as long as I can remember thanks to my colonoscopy prep. Cleaning my couch was very annoying.

 

just bought sheets and didn't realize until after opening the box that they were polyester

 

All liquid diet (basically popsicles, water and broth) plus a full bottle of miralax and 64 oz of water plus 4 ducolax should be a fun time tomorrow.

And then more fun 5 am Monday drinking another 64oz of water with a full bottle of miralax in it until 7 am

 

Saw a woman bring her robe into the movies and I’m gonna have to steal this idea bc it is always so fucking cold in the theater! It’s only 70 degrees out but they have the AC on max power and I hate it!! That’s the worst part about summer, always gotta carry a jacket bc every store has the AC blasting. I’m a freak and keep my AC at like 76 or 77 though sooo lol

 

Ugh same. I went to a theater recently and they were selling blankets. Just make it less cold! Altho I feel the world is catered towards people who run hot

 

As it should be

 

Coming back to 94 notifications of Chorus dot fm (also a reason to keep living)

 

Forgetting something I was going to post in this thread earlier is, in and of itself, a tiny thing that annoys me

 

Took my colonoscopy prep between 4 and 7 and still nothing. Ugh. Gonna be pissed if I have to reschedule. Gotta take another prep from 5-7am tomorrow, hopefully that does it.

Starving because I'm only allowed liquids through tomorrow evening, and man, a full bottle of miralax and having to chug it in a half gallon of water is really nauseating toward the end
