Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 91

I only use FYI when forwarding work emails for useful information

 

Same with “friendly reminder”, 9 times out of 10 it sounds condescending as hell

 

i have never once read an email with “friendly reminder” in it and not instantly been mad and petty as hell about it lmao

 

One of my co workers sees the same thing I do in the girl I’m training. So it wasn’t just me. So we think the girl is just incompetent.

 

when you're watching something (say a sitcom or a funny movie) with someone that keeps repeating the funny lines right after the character says them

 

Guilty!

 

me too sometimes when i'm alone and I hate myself for it lol

 

when people you're friends with on social media refer to you as "OP" or otherwise dodge naming you directly in the comment sections, particularly when they're disagreeing with something you had to say - like address me directly or don't say anything at all? always feels so passive aggressive.

 

The actual questions you overhear thumbing through records in person in a store, ppl getting angry at a 20 something year old retail employee that can't answer their super specific questions about niche merchandise lol 2nd hand cringing to myself

 

I hear this almost every time I go to Bull Moose haha

 

I just heard this exchange at newbury comics

"Ma'am can I help you find something?"

"Red Hulk"

"Huh?"

"The Red Incredible Hulk"

"...like a toy or, a dvd? Or..."

"No as in my son wants a red incredible hulk do you have any? Or is there someone that works here who knows the answer?"



-______-

 

...what do you all prefer to "Fyi" or "just a friendly reminder"? I am very guilty of both and feel bad now

 

Tiny thing that annoys me: the use of the word "micro" when "small" works just as well

 

Haha same! Like, if I'm taking tomorrow off at work, I'll just say "friendly reminder that I'm off tomorrow and will be back Friday" or whatever

 

Honestly for me “just a reminder” or “quick reminder” are totally fine, adding “friendly” makes me interpret the message as smug/condescending for some reason

 

Is "heads up:" allowed?

 

Getting out of the shower and realizing there’s still a soapy part that went un-rinsed

 

Getting out of the shower and realizing I missed a spot shaving

 

The girl I’m training pretty much needs ANOTHER week of training. That’ll be 3 and half weeks of training (in top of intern hours she did) and she still can’t pick up simple shit!! Basically I’ll have to do half her job for a while because she just cant pick up and they’re starting her off slow. She also made herself notes and some stuff is wrong *face palm* like did you even do research or ask.

i basically have to write her “directions” and “prompts” for her to reference to without me. You shouldn’t need that. Not with how much training she’s received

 

That one is cool with me haha

 

Stomach Cramps

 

When you love a band or artist that has nearly 20 shirts on their merch store but like 2 you'd actually wear and there's only youth-large or 4xl of them left in stock

 

When I intend to shower at the gym but forget my shower flip flops

 

it seems like at least 1-2 days a month my allergies go wild, and today is one of those days. idk whether it's pollen, pet dander or something else entirely but it's fucking relentless

 

when you get a candy bar well past its prime
