Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 433

people who dont fully stop at a busy four way stop and fuck up the flow

 

People who run red lights/take a left on red. I’ve noticed a ton of both since moving to Buffalo. It’s one thing to gun it to try to beat a yellow light but I’ve seen people just cruise through a light that has been red for a minute.

 

Related people who honk at red lights, do you think I'm sitting here for fun

 

I live in New Mexico and holy shit I have NEVER seen people brake at green lights before I moved here. I can't make sense of it and it gets on my last nerve lol

 

when I went to Arizona a couple years ago, the first things our uber driver warned us of coming out of the airport was A. do not fuck with people on the road because you will get shot and B. Always look both ways when crossing an intersection even if you have a green light since people run them consistently. That southwest heat does something to people man.

 

I’ve been out to AZ multiple times since I have friends and family out there and I can confirm. AZ drivers are a different breed.

I mean, I’ve never seen anyone pull a gun, lol. But AZ drivers have no regard at all

Every time I see a car with AZ plates here, I expect the worst. They drive crazy just about everywhere. Even outside the state

 

People talk shit about New England drivers, often for good reason, but at least they drive with a purpose and are generally predictable even if they’re aggressive. Drivers in Western New York are entirely unpredictable. Running red lights? Check. Left on red? Check. Stopping in the middle of an intersection on green? Check.

 

My fiance does this and it drives me insane.

 

I hate when people slow to a crawl a good 15-30 seconds before making a turn, then completely stop in the middle of the road before finally making their turn.

I see it all the fucking time after like 9pm downtown. I swear it's just a bunch of drunks trying to be extra cautious so they don't get caught. There is a concerning amount of drivers who go 10-15 mph on a 30-35 mph road late at night when there aren't many other cars on the road

 

It’s 100% either an elderly person or someone who is stoned trying to be cautious

 

Dude you moved out of this city at the right time, it's a total ghost town at night now haha. Just a couple cars parked outside of the bars, very few people walking around, incredibly questionable drivers. It's changed so much out of nowhere

 

When you hit a button on accident on something and don’t know how to change it back. My specific example are my wireless headphones. There are at least 6 tiny buttons on them and I’ll accidentally bop one and then will need to turn them off and back on to undo whatever I did because I don’t know what button was hit.

 

But what if it we turn left on a red when it's a one way which I'm 85% sure is legal. I mean I hope so cause I do it lol

 

Oh my God I was pairing up with my coworker on a call all day and neither of us saw our boss IMed us saying we could sign off early for Labor Day an hour and a half ago lol

 

When one of my coworkers finds me online

Today a person I’ve worked with for the past 2 years (whom I’ve never spoken with about anything besides work) followed me on Threads. Like, she seems cool and my profile is public so obviously I’m aware anyone can see it but like, way to make me a tiny bit more conscious about what I post lol

 

Flossing my teeth. I hate it. It doesn't take long. I have no reason to hate it. My teeth feel nice after. But I hate it. Trying to floss before I call to make a dentist appt so they don't lecture me at the appt. Hoping by then it'll be a habit. Blegh.

 

Taking a shower when it's like 72 degrees or higher in the apartment and then feeling shortness of breath, seeing spots, and needing to turn the shower off in the middle of it to sit down for a few minutes and gasp for air before I can keep going. Man, idk why heat and steam really fuck with me. I'm fine if I shower while the AC is cranking. I need it to be like 66 degrees to feel comfortable

 

I’m downtown for a concert and used the same lot I always do for this venue. It’s always $20. Now it’s $40.

 

Bidenflation strikes again!!

 

Honestly, I think it might be because it’s a weekend. I haven’t been to a show on a weekend in forever.

 

Haha true, a holiday weekend too!

 

I had to pay $40 for parking when I went to Hella Mega a few years back. That’s also why I haven’t been to Dodgers games in a while. Super expensive, sadly

 

Having to work every single holiday unless I want to use one of the few PTO days I get. And the holidays are always slow with no work anyway but they still won’t give us the day off. I have to check back every hour and all the down time I have I’m not getting paid for.

 

That sucks big time. What industry are you in?

 

I'm a medical transcriptionist. I regret picking this field every day of my life lol I only picked it because every job I was interested in required a college degree and payed no money whereas this cost me $2000 to be certified and that was exactly the amount I got from my graduation party lol I've been doing it since I was 20 and I am definitely burnt out!
