Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 215

that’s why you gotta check daily!!

 

I’m also impressed I opened the letter at all lol but mostly did hoping it was saying, “you don’t owe anything anymore because Biden made it disappear” and instead now I gotta be a vigilante on my credit for a bit now

 

I have a coworker who cannot remember shit. Too bad he remembers where he works and how to log into his computer every day though, that’s awesome.

Day started with him whining about me messing up on a project and then I sent his soul to oblivion by throwing his email from three weeks ago stating the exact opposite of what he was asking for today in his face and now at least I won’t hear from him for about a month as he simmers in embarrassment but still, what a goddamn way to start the day.

 

Seeing people get excited about fall weather (the best) while in your area it’s still high 70’s at the coolest. In the NW!

 

The coolest

 

Name droppers

 

I once smoked p*t with Johnny Hopkins. It was him and Sloan Kettering and we were blazing that shit up

 

Selling stuff online and someone messages “what’s the lowest you’ll go” well the lowest I’ll go is what I have it listed as bud. If you want to make an offer make one but I have it listed at what I want for it!!

 

Realizing you left something at home when you’re still close enough to turn around and get it, but far enough for it to be very annoying

 

Had a two hour budget meeting that felt like 7 lifetimes and all my answers to questions were “no idea”.

So very not sorry I don’t give a shit about imaginary money of crusty old white dudes who want me to “think like it’s my money and my business” because it doesn’t matter if I buy the cheap paper or the card stock that’s a little more expensive, I see no benefit of spending less so I put no thought into “researching different brands” and other nonsense while you also foam at the mouth that I could work faster on many more things than I’m already working on.

Meanwhile “leadership” discusses putting TWO DISHWASHERS in an OFFICE that houses 12 people once a week and another 5 people every other month. Yes, valuable succinct purchases there.

 

Shit this is a good one

 

Kind of similar but having to get out of my car to open and close the garage but being too lazy to get a remote opener

 

The little crusty bits around the rim of a jug of milk

 

hearing the coffee maker start and knowing you forgot to put a cup down for the coffee

this didn't just happen but it has a few times and as such is a new and interesting form of anxiety I have developed

 

Every morning when I take my dog out to use the bathroom, I worry that I didn't close my front door all the way and that my cat will get out, because she's constantly trying to get out.

I have never once left the door open.

 

This is really specific, but women who make their entire identity being small. Like I kinda get it, but man sometimes people are so extra about it. I'm sure it's a projection of their insecurity as well so I never actually say anything to anyone, but i die inside. I know Ariana grande used to do it a bit. But the whole like "tee hee i just cant help it I'm just so smol!!" Thing gets tired and feels sometimes passive aggressive towards other not as small women in the room. I follow someone on tiktok who posts treadmill workouts and she says what her comfortable walking speed is but says to do whatever walking pace is comfortable for you, and without fail the comments are flooded with women who are like "omg I'm just so short I could never do that! I would be like sprinting at that pace! I'm just too small! Can I choose a different pace im just so tiny!" And I'm like because she literally says to find your own pace and then there are tons of comments already saying the same thing, so it seems to turn into some weird competition of bragging about who is the smallest which is super unhealthy. I don't know, it's simultaneously annoying but very sad That we are taught to place so much emphasis and pride on taking up the least amount of space as possible

 

Best-of compilations where the tracklist isn’t chronological.

 

This 100% the only time I usually listen to best of's is when I'm trying to get into an artist I don't know and I enjoy hearing their progression in sound. With a band like Genesis, for example, its almost necessary IMO

 

Yep. I've posted about this before, and I'm sensitive, but most weight-related things trigger me. I'm not even that big of a guy (now I'm doing it, what does that even mean) but my fiancee didn't want to do lunch and meet my new coworkers today because she "didn't want to be a fatty" and it made me die a little inside knowing that she's doing it because our wedding is next month, and I've essentially given up trying to become a size of person I'm not.

I'm all for being healthier, but I grew up with a mother that obsessed over weight (both hers and everyone else's) and it's a specific kind of negativity I really can't deal with. Just like...can you fixate on literally anything but the one thing that makes me feel like shit constantly.

 

Foo Fighters? lol

 

Oh yeah it's hard af. My mom had an eating disorder growing up but never talked about it so she projected on me and commented on my weight a lot and it messed with me. I thought I rose above it knowing how it negatively impacted me but it wasn't until I gained weight and then lost some of it recently that I realized my issues with food and weight are so warped like to the point where idk if I want kids anyway, but I'd be so nervous to have them and pass that insecurity onto them. I have to actively not obsess over it out loud because it was upsetting my bf and prob triggering for him too. I wish people wouldn't comment on anyone's weight or food intake. Even if ppl think they're giving a compliment it can be unintentionally harmful

I think that's a great mindset for your wedding. I think it'd be nice to just look back at the pictures and see yourself being happy, not some other version you tried to be for the event

 

When you eat a few too many fries out of the bag on the way home and wind up with a dumb, small amount to eat with the rest of your meal

 

I priced matched something at target and also had a coupon but it only shows the price match price and use to coupon on my receipt (which doesn’t add up). I messaged the target fb page to ask if both are unable to be used because I really wanted this item for $4

 

See I'm the opposite with this. I eat a few on the way home and then like none afterwards because I'd rather just eat the burger or sandwich or whatever

 

We have a rule in our house that if fries fall out of their container and are just in the bag when we get home, they go to the dog

it’s the 1 rule he likes
