Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 428

100% horse hair

 

This would also kind of fit in the eternal cringe thread.

Microsoft Teams notifications.

I learned recently and quite awkwardly that if you leave a Teams group chat, it announces this to the chat with a notice in the chat that XYZ has left the chat.

There are FAR too many channels and group chats where I work so at first I would mute them, then I would hide them - but as soon as someone would comment in that chat it would then show up in my list of chats - so I decided “fuck it, I’ll just leave this chat/group entirely”.

What I did NOT know was that it then tells the rest of the chat that I have left. So for a few weeks I would leave chats/groups and then get added back in. I assume people were adding me in thinking it was a mistake and whoever set it up simply missed adding me but NO! They would add me back in because they would see that I left. So for some of these, the history of the chat/group is:

- Marsupial left the chat
- X added Marsupial to the chat
- Marsupial left the chat
- Y added Marsupial to the chat
- Marsupial left the chat

 

Getting a pebble in your shoe

 

I’m not doing well

my grandma (my only living grandparent) is in the hospital. she was complaining of chest pains earlier today and thankfully someone took her to the ER. she’s still there getting tests ran on her. she’ll probably be put on blood pressure meds and it’ll be alright or alright enough at least but I worry so much already that when something like this happens it really fucks with me. I know all I can do is try to be strong and be there for her but it’s still at the phase where it stings and I’m having trouble finding joy in the littlest of things

 

I know it’s probably a bit weird to put something like that in here but I’ve sworn off the one place I’d usually go to talk about things like that

 

They're repairing the drywall water damage on half my bedroom ceiling today. It's probably gonna take all day.

 

Every tiny annoyance I have is amplified when I also remember we'll probably never know who Jack the ripper was. Or sub that out for any unsolved mystery. I'll be annoyed at something and then my brain is like "oh you think THAT is annoying, well let me remind you that we still don't know what happened to that person"

 

Ticket fees

Looking at StubHub (ugh I know) and I'd actually increase my budget of price I'm willing to pay per ticket if there were less fees. Almost bit the bullet on a pair but it would've been $200 in fees which is like a whole additional ticket

 

God bless TickPick
but yeah the StubHub fees have definitely gotten worse

 

Really sorry man, I lost my last living grandparent a couple years ago and it's tough. Wishing you and her the best.

I still feel shitty that my grandfather died like 5-10 minutes before I got to the hospital

 

Ooh IDK them but I'll open a tab there too while I obsessively refresh for Olivia rodrigo tickets

 

Honestly this feels like gambling. Like is there a point where scientifically prices stop going down and I'm just screwed?! This is so stressful

 

thank you

trying to stay positive

 

People that drive through parking aisles in parking lot.

Almost got smacked by a guy who was flirting through the parking lot when the actual drive lane was maybe 10 feet to his right. Ironically enough his car was beat to shit and definitely was in a crash at some point and I imagine it happened because he was driving like an idiot through a parking lot

 

I’m sorry to hear that, my dude.

 

Getting the middle seat on a flight.

 

The absolute worst

I gotta be an aisle seat so I can pee any time I want lol

 

Window seat all the way

 

I’m 6 3 I need the aisle

 

Plus you get the added fun of tripping flight attendants!

 

aisle seat for life
why would I look at nature like a nerd when I can watch TV

 

Window seat you can only see shit for like the first and last 10 minutes of the flight.

I used to be a window seat person until I started flying more often and I learned the ways - aisle seat and all the way in the back (like 2-3 rows to the end. That way you’re close to the bathrooms but not close enough to smell it if someone deposits something foul and so you don’t have the wheels directly under you when you land), sometimes can hear interesting flight attendant stories, can board way at the end and not worry about someone being in your seat, and get first dibs on the lame snacks and drinks.

Also being 6’ 6” does not bode well for basically anything so aisle seat at least lets you stretch and twist a bit.

 

That said I will never take someone out of choosing the window seat because someone’s gotta sit there and if everyone wanted the aisle then that would be hell, so window seat folks - enjoy!

 

Only problem with being in the back is waiting to get off the plane, especially if you have to race to another plane right after but yeah this is the way. I feel like there's usually a bathroom at the front of the plane though so I'd take closer to there as the prime spot for me personally

I feel like the shitty planes I take don't even have a first class up front lol

 

Why the fuck is everyone in this thread so tall
