Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 415

My fun sunscreen anecdote is Warped Tour 2014 (which was ten years ago now! Wild!). I always went to the Ventura date which, while nice, breezy and cool, was super sunny. I lathered up before I went in and lathered up about two more times that day.

Yet, I received quite possibly the worst sunburns I’ve ever received in my life. Head to toe red. I was so angry and confused since I put on so much.

Turns out I was using expired sunscreen and I learned a valuable (and painful) lesson that sunscreen can expire and it won’t do jack shit if it is lol

 

I went to warped with my ginger friend one summer and she got a sunburn in the shape of her peace sign necklace and her shoulders like peeled off which is wild cause yeah I've never gotten burns like that even before I started using sunscreen as a dumb youth

 

Or talk to someone on speaker phone while at the store.

 

I know they might not be able to control it, but some folks have a crazy voice that is either really loud or peculiarly pitched and it absolutely cuts through conversations in public places and is super distracting. Had one of those sitting directly next to me at lunch yesterday by himself talking on the phone at the bar and I couldn't focus on my own conversation, it was driving me nuts

 

yeah that would drive me up the fucking wall

 

hey Aaron make sure you check out that Heretic trailer when you get a chance

it’s

 

I still gotta open/respond to your Facebook message lol I didn't mean to ignore ya

 

no worries

it’s just one of love and appreciation

 

I hate that Starbucks is the only coffee place near my office that’s open when I get to work in the morning. I start my day at 7:00 and every great local place nearby isn’t open before then. I’d much prefer to get better coffee and support small business, but none of them are open during the 6:00 hour

There’s only one that opens at 6:00 that I like, but it’s a bit out of the way

sigh

 

I got second degree sun burns at Warped Tour Ventura once.

My boss never replies to any emails and since I work from home, email is my only option. It is so annoying bc we will have very short deadlines and I will have a simple question (bc they never give us any details about anything!!) and she just never replies.

 

Dang that's annoying, no chats/IMing in your job?

 

Nope and if I email my TL or anyone else they just forward the email to my boss lol so it’s completely pointless and I never get any answers!

 

Last few days there has been a red blotch on my ribs. I figure it’s a bug bite or something but thought it looked bigger today than yesterday so I drew a circle around it this morning and when I looked at it just now the color/size is beyond the circle I made so that’s probably not great but we’ll see what happens.

Usually when I draw attention to something then it goes away so I expect that to be the case here. Not gonna waste money and time going to get medical opinion and find out it is just a spider bite or a weird scratch or reaction to laundry detergent or some such shit lol

 

rip

 

was nice knowing ya man

 

Is it a tick bite? Cause I had lymes and it sucked!

 

Yeah I had it last year and it was not fun. Definitely get that checked out

 

Yeah better to catch it early - after a while, treating it can be very difficult and can become a chronic condition. Unfortunately lab tests for it are not highly accurate and some ignorant doctors will shrug it off entirely if you don't have a bullseye rash, despite that only being a symptom for like.. 1/5 of the people who catch it

 

My tiny annoyance: the eventual pain of having my belt digging into my stomach all day after sitting at my desk for 8 hours

 

I feel this.

 

I absolutely refuse to wear jeans or button-up shorts at home and haven't in years lol
