Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 434

When everything I want to read from the library is out so I place a hold and then all the books are ready to borrow at the same time

I've had books I keep letting the next person borrow until I'm ready but I've extended the hold like 7 times because I can't coordinate it all.

 

this happens to me all the time haha, I try to keep my list short enough that I usually only need to delay it once if that
on the other hand there have been times they get more copies and my wait goes from 2 months to 2 days lol

 

There’s a stretch of road not far from my place that is known to be a bit of a speed trap. Even though it’s a surface street, the stretch is long, there’s multiple lanes and there’s also not a lot of traffic on it. It’s a 45 MPH zone, but because of all the aforementioned reasons, it’s very easy to speed on that road and in reality, it should be like a 50-55 MPH zone.

However, last month the city for whatever reason decided to lower the speed limit in that area to 35 MPH.

Now I try to avoid it at all cost. Ugh

 

As someone who quit eating dairy a few years ago, I’m kind of surprised and disappointed at the lack of non-dairy flavors at ice cream shops.

Wife and I took her mom to Cold Stone tonight. The only non-dairy ice cream they had was a chocolate one make from Silk almond milk which I was game for. When it came my time to order, it turned out they were completely out, so I left empty-handed.

You think with how common dairy allergies and dairy-free lifestyles are now, shops like this would be more accommodating? Especially a chain ice cream shop?

 

Yeah that is pretty surprising.

Was about to say that thankfully I think sherbert is better than all ice cream so I have that to fall back on, but apparently that has dairy, too!

 

Ugh I get that. Thankfully I live in a vegan friendly area so there's lots of local options but that makes it stand out even more when there isn't a dairy or meat free option somewhere! For a while the big fast food chains had veggie burgers and I get it was prob cooked along the meat stuff but it was nice having an option in a pinch. But a lot have been phased out. Even the salads at fast food places often have meat in them. Like give a sis something!!

Related, when Mexican restaurants have vegetarian burritos but they have refried beans in them I'm like I just don't trust they have vegetarian refried beans. As a person of Mexican heritage myself, I feel like many Mexicans don't understand what it means to not have animal products in something lol so unless it's a place that seems to cater towards vegetarians it's always sus

 

Also I know it makes me a huge jerk, but when my mom responds to a pic of food I post on insta and comments something like "yum!" Idk why it's annoying but it is. Or she'll ask me where I got it, and it's like why tho. She'll never go there and she'll never remember what it's called anyway. Idk my mom was like designed to hit all my petty small pet peeves

 

I’m jealous of the food you have up there. Last time I went to PDX I got some really good vegan Indian food and gluten free Thai food!

But also… Salt & Straw is guilty of lacking dairy options. I went to the one in DTD couple weeks ago and they only had three flavors! And the flavor I wanted they were out of…

 

Yeah they don't have a ton on their main menu. Once in a while they'll do a seasonal vegan menu. Kate's ice cream is all plant based and is v good imo! I've heard Pinolo Gelato has good vegan flavors too but it's always super packed when I happen to be nearby so I haven't been.

 

My air fryer came with a little recipe booklet with some blank pages to fill in your own recipes, and I have such a bad habit of cooking something new and thinking "eh, I'll remember it next time" instead of writing it down.

I do, in fact, never remember it next time

 

I bought peel and stick tiles to redo my kitchen floor. I can’t afford real flooring right now but the flooring down now is disgusting and never looks clean and I’m sick of looking at it. But how the fuck am I supposed to move my stove, fridge, and pantry by myself to tile under them?? I can’t lift them and if I slide them onto the just stick on tile it’ll probably peel it up or chip it. I thought about sliders but again how am I gonna do that myself? I have little spaghetti noodle arms. I can’t lift shit! This weekend is gonna be fun lol

 

I've probably whined about it before, but my upper lip has like no pigment and is the same color as my skin. So if I dont have lipstick on in pictures it'll look like I have no top lip. The lower one has a pinkish hue but not the top. I just spent a weird amount of time googling pictures of lips to see if that's common

 

I'm done with my peel and stick tile project and I am so happy to be done. Matching up the pattern was impossible bc it's like the tiles weren't printed right so no matter how I placed them, the pattern was never a perfect match. You can't tell unless you are like on the floor inspecting each tile lol but omg what a pain in the ass. I also just said fuck it and did not move my stove at all and just kinda slid the tiles under and cut them. No one will know!

 

This is my third flat tire in six months. Michigan roads are so bad.

 

Damn dude I'm sorry that sucks! Tires are expensive as hell, too. Hope you don't have 4 wheel drive and need to replace all of them each time?

 

Inaccurate delivery tracking >_>

Been waiting a week for a delivery that was supposed to come today, but nope!

 

Nah, it’s a 2009. My wife’s grandma gave it to me recently after she stopped driving. She barely used it. I was planning on replacing all four tires anyway before winter.

 

How normalized steroid use is getting among zoomer dudes due to tiktok fitnesstube and fitness tiktok.

 

There’s this girl that hogs the ENTIRE communal laundry room. There’s 7 washers and dryers. And she doesn’t clean the lint traps

 

When I’m cooking and people start to get impatient/rush the food

 

How busy everywhere seems to be lately.

Drove 20+ minutes to get to this new coffee place I’ve been dying to try. I roll up, and there’s a line out the door, with triple digit heat.

So I go to a different spot instead. But now, there’s absolutely no indoor seating.

I guess this is what I get for living in a dense metro area

 

Putting air in your tires, but the tire pressure light in your car still won’t turn off

 

Those sensors are a scam. I've had them go out on two different cars and been quoted 100-140 EACH to replace them, with no guarantee they won't break again soon after. So now I just check the tires when I get gas and it's been fine.

 

People who advertise their job on social media (not sure how else to describe it). “Message me if you want to by this product. This product is great. Such a great product. Look at all these features. Look at what this product can do”. Stop.

 

Traffic and how much this country hates public transit
