Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 426

Enjoy summer minus the heat. If it was 75 everyday that would be perfect. I miss actually having fall though. It’s hot in Pittsburgh til mid October then we get 2 weeks of fall and then straight into cold weather.

 

My birthday is in July, so I’m okay with this

 

The new england humidity is the killer for me right now. Heat I can handle just fine but I cant walk 100 yards without feeling like I need a breather when its 90+ and over 60% humidity.

 

Not sure it’s like this all year round but wouldn’t be surprised if it is but I was in Hawaii in April a handful of years ago and it was absolute perfection. Bright and sunny, a perfect 75-77 degrees, light breeze, no goddamn humidity, no mosquitoes, no bugs, nothing. Felt like I was on a movie set with how perfect everything looked and felt.

Sure a half gallon of milk and a travel size box of cereal costs $35, but the weather was amazing it lived up to the cliche of a perfect beach place in my head or what you see on tv.

 

yeah I’m pretty sure it’s like that year round. It was like that when I went in August like 10 years ago. Perfect place.

 

My birthday is in August but I always felt like I should have a fall birthday so I'm fine eliminating it. Because then we'll skip to September but we should probably listen to Billie Joe and out of respect not wake him up until September ends, so September is out too. Then my birthday can be in October!

 

It’s 85 degrees inside the building at my work right now and I’m here for another 7 hours. Kill me

 

Realizing that I left my headphones at the office

 

The other day my coworkers and I went downtown for Wing Wednesday for 10 wings for $1 dollar

No AC. Was at least 85 degrees in there. I was dripping sweat the entire time, it was visible on the front of my shirt.

Waited an hour to get our food. Had to text the boss that we would be late.

Turns out, they changed it. 8 wings for $2. I don't care about them bumping it up in price at all, that's still insanely cheap, but don't give me less food! I waited an hour and was hungry dammit! Would gladly pay $2.50 for 10. They didn't even change the menu. The waitress was just like "oh yeah sorry about that, they didn't update the menu, idk why. We have it advertised on the door though"

 

Having a game-plan of what you’re gonna make yourself for dinner, only to get home from work and realizing you’re all out of a specific ingredient to make it

 

THE WORST. Or getting curbside pickup and they're out of burgers but still give you buns haha

 

I know it’s been said a million times but prices are truly out of control!! I am on an extremely tight budget so I usually buy my clothes secondhand bc it’s cheaper and better for the environment, etc. But prices at the thrift stores are insane! I was looking for a couple specific pieces and ended up just buying them at TJMaxx and Boscov’s in the clearance section bc they were half price what the thrift stores were charging! And the shit at the thrift store was like Shein or Forever 21 so not like it was quality and worth the price. I feel like they know everyone is thrifting now so they raised the prices on everything.

 

Yeah the thrifting scene is insane and jacks up the prices of everything. Resellers sucks.

 

yeah like where are all these cute thrift shops where people find awesome shit and not places that are either sketch or bougie

 

Once in a while I find something good. Got a pair of Calvin Klein jeans for like $10 that I get lots of compliments on. But that was a hidden gem found in a consignment shop mostly filled with tacky outdated clothes. I was browsing a thrift store today and the stuff I thought was cute was obviously just very worn and I didn't have faith the fabric would hold up much longer. I'm taking some sewing classes next month and I'm hoping I'll eventually learn to upcycle ugly thrift clothes. Not to sell tho, just to repurpose for myself

 

I used to be all about thrifting but didn’t do it for maybe a couple years. My wife and I hit up a local thrift store the other week and I found a great new shirt for $3.

I’m gonna need to make thrifting a regular thing again. I haven’t felt that high in a long time

 

I hate the people that find vintage band shirts or sports shirts and then resell them for triple the price.

There’s this cool new thrift store near me that opened that’s specially-curated and focuses on stuff like that, but… I’m not gonna pay $80 for a The Cure tour shirt from 2004

 

there are tons of stores like this around Pittsburgh. Some have better prices than others but the resell market is fucked now because of places like this.

 

the fact that everything is content and product makes me want to be unalive, like shirts are made to be worn toys are made to be played with everything isn't a hustle investment

 

I hate being a bigger guy now, I used to get really good deals on jeans at TJ Maxx, like Calvin Klein and Lucky jeans for less than 20 bucks. But nope, now gotta go to the big and tall section at Kohls and spend like $70 per pair

 

Mealy watermelon

 

Watermelon in general

 

yeah, my office has been 80 because they couldn't determine who would be there over the summer and who wouldn't to save money on the AC so now I'm using an air purifier on high as a makeshift fan. shit sucks

ran into a place like this in Texas that basically sold vintage product graphic tees for like $60 a pop. didn't buy anything, but they guy gave us free beer/white claws while we shopped, so that was something

 

not the same thing but it bothers me to no end that social media, esp instagram, is all about following brands now. I admittedly don’t find my friends’ instagram lives as entertaining as I thought it would in 2007 but I don’t understand following Nike (what is the enjoyable part of watching clothings ads?) or sports teams (I already know my teams’ news) or content creators (they’re not doing anything). 30% of the posts are ads for overpriced novelty clothing and suggested content these days - what exactly am I supposed to be getting out of engaging with these? How is this materially different than universally reviled things like commercials, billboards, and sales catalogues?

 

Frozen burgers come in packs of 6 but buns come in packs of 8. Always annoying to have to just throw those buns away haha
