getting home from the grocery store and realizing you're missing a bag

 

worst part is it had cheesecake and donuts in it

 

Damn, never leave a cheesecake behind. 2nd best dessert, only defeated by tiramisu

 

Ive done this! I called them and asked if they found it. Then went back to pick it up

 

the person who decided that the peanut butter Oreos should have chocolate cookies should be fired

they don't work at all

 

I was crossing the street and two cars in a row blew through the stop sign and the second driver had the audacity to do like the fast stop and inconvenienced frustrated hand wave like she was doing me a favor by letting me cross

 

some people wouldn’t stop at the crosswalk with giant signs that say “STOP FOR PEDESTRIANS” when my girlfriend was trying to cross last month so I faked walking in front of the next car and they slammed their breaks on. Fuck em.

 

I hate how non-walkable our country is

 

my city isn’t the best for walking/running but everything I learn about almost every other city makes mine seem like it’s in the top 1% lol.

Someone in a running chat group I’m in said they we’re moving to Miami or somewhere and asked for recommendations on where to run or where it’s safe to do so and it was just a million posts about how dangerous it is / gotta drive to some random ass park an hour away to find a 2 mile loop to safely walk/run in and that’s just absurd.

 

yeah an NFL player just got killed running in Florida.

 

It's awful. I was in a shopping area with a four way stop and cars were just blatantly ignoring the stop signs. Yesterday I was crossing a street in a busy area and it was pouring rain. It appeared to be a normal sized puddle at first but it ended up going up to my knees after a few inches and totally drenching my legs. Which was admittedly kinda funny and ridiculous but I live in an area literally known for rain so idk why we haven't figured this out yet. Once in a while I won't notice a pedestrian and kinda cut them off and feel soooo bad and try to gesture an apology at least. But when ppl buckle down and be rude about it... smh. Usually they're on their phones and not paying attention.

 

Also this is an annoying I do, but my apparent total refusal to measure anything, or measure incorrectly when I do bother, is v annoying. I act like there's no way to verify any of this and it's all just a guessing game when I could just measure. But I'm always like ehh I can eyeball it. And I'm always wrong. Literally always lol.

 

there was a "life hack" video i saw about a year ago that showed someone putting blue painters tape on the back of something they were hanging, marking where the holes were / where the nails would go, taking the tape off and putting it on the wall and then putting in the nails, removing the tape (or leaving it there if you want) and THEN hanging the item and i was like, "HOLY SHIT WHAT AN IDEA" as i had never once thought of that and always just totally winged it when hanging stuff with hooks on both end of the thing.

 

Maybe a controversial (and a little too heated) one, but people that “can’t stand” small talk. It’s like man, yeah, nobody likes small talk. Sure there are people that are more comfortable with it, some that are pressured to do it by their employers, some people are just chatty Kathys that can’t shut up to save their lives. But nobody is like “hell yeah I love shallow conversations about the weather or listening to mundane details about someone else’s day or job!”

It’s just kinda part of being a human and communicating, and yeah it can be daunting or boring and all that but I really just cannot vibe with people that pretend like they’re above any conversation that isn’t extremely deep or personal about hopes and dreams or existence or what drives you or whatever. You don’t get to just stroll up into someone’s life and belittle them if they don’t immediately dissect themselves before you just so you can keep your fragile sense of intellect in tact. That type of conversational energy is reserved for people I love or am at least close with. Imagine bearing your soul to every random person you meet just because you can’t fathom a lesser conversation? How exhausting lol

 

Speaking of pedestrians and walking in a parking lot etc, I hate it when you have plenty of time to cross/the car is enough distance away, but that car speeds up because they won’t want you to cross like it’s an inconvenience. Like literally if they kept the same speed it makes no difference? To those cars that speed up I’ll walk in front of you. I’m in the middle of crossing. Slow down! Some of these drivers don’t even look where they’re going because they’re on the phones!

 

Why are colored pencils are so much harder to erase than regular pencils. Fix it already it’s 2022

 

Is there a way to stop the pages I don’t follow on Instagram from appearing in my feed. Like the whole point of following a page is because I want it in my feed. Kinda pointless that’s rando pages pop up

 

Super, ultra, insufferably bright LED lights (headlights, overhead lighting).

 

Oh my God, I hate this too. It was the main reason I deleted my account... I couldn't control the content I was seeing.

 

It really is frustrating. I can’t find posts of people i follow (unless i go directly to their page) because my feed is full of nonsense

 

The way my closest friends have been looking at me like I'm a sick pup since my mom passed away.

 

really sorry to hear about your mom

take care

 

For me personally, it's not that I feel above it at all, I just literally don't really know what to say.

I hate it when for example I go to the cafeteria at work to get a coffee and people feel they HAVE to talk to me just cause we are both there. I don't get it. Then I get self conscious, because I'm sure they think I am rude when I don't mean to be.

 

click the instagram thing at the top of the page and put “following.” it shows in chronological order and everything
