Shit that annoys you

Sorry to see this mang, hope all goes well.

Thanks.

Paternal grandmother, 92, spent the day in the hospital after falling in the shower and was released late last night. She's had some heart issues this year, not sure if related. Other family has been Covid positive so always concerned if she is exposed.It's been a year since I've seen her and I worry I won't see her again.

My mother's father, as best I can tell, went in yesterday for some issue and was scheduled for a CT scan of his pancreas today. No news yet. Only info yesterday was the Dr. Says "this isn't good".

I guess the really fucking irritating part is I call my mother every few days and always start the conversation with "anything new there?" And it takes her a half hour to get to the important parts.

Toss in the fact that I see absolute selfish behavior daily while I try to follow the rules and I'm over 2020and this covid bullshit.

Hitting the on/off button of your electric toothbrush just a split second after it turns itself off when you’re done brushing your teeth, so it sprays your face with toothpaste and spit.

...and the mirror, sink, floor, etc. I've done this enough that I'm faced with having to admit that it's mostly me being a gomer.

When my managers/bosses first words through the door (strolling in later than me) are “doesn’t look busy.” No shit, I’m a good employee with a handle on things. It was busy until you were here so fuck off.

Fuck, I hate(d) bosses like that. Zero leadership.

Shouldn’t bitch about a Christmas gift but the instructions Apple provides with products are fucking impossible to read. Light gray 1 point font does not fucking cut it.

Don’t bother. It is just the safety book in 20 languages. Nothing operational. Don’t waste your time.
For how-to’s, you have to go online.

When you're watching a friends dog and he farts so hard you lose your train of thought. And have to grab something to cover it up so you dont throw up.

People who are "bulls in a china shop." Went on a date recently with a woman who fully qualifies for the title.

In the span of an hour, she managed to spill beer in the back of my car, somehow twist the passenger seatbelt buckle 180 degrees around the strap so that it's all twisted when you actually use it, and her dog was so excited to see her when we got back to her place that it jumped on my car and scratched the paint off the passenger side door down the metal in multiple spots. Yeesh.

Bahaha, good god, no. She probably would have wiped her hands on the headliner after.

Ouch. And I still laughed.

50’s era sub slab radiant pipe burst yesterday
minor flooding, carpet soaked...don’t know yet what the fix is so I’m dreading the discovery process when the non-emergency heating guy shows up tomorrow to assess [hazmat? Discovery of galv piping? Assessment of efficacy of the entire basement loop?]

this was not a completely unexpected event in a certain sense, given the house’s age, but it’s def a bummer

Snowy roads, which I genuinely enjoy driving on.... except:

1. People asking “how are the roads?!” And tut tutting over there being snow or slush or whatever.... how are the roads? There is a little snow and slush. They’re fine. Cut your speed a little and you’ll be fine. It’s not like there’s 30” of unplowed snow out there, ferfucksake. Literally any modern passenger vehicle with tires that are in reasonable repair will be fucking fine.

2. People who stop/slow down because something is happening in the next lane. Like, I get it, but... if the guy in front of me is panic stopping, and you’re keeping pace with him, there’s nowhere for me to go. Just happened, and I was fine, but there was no way for the pile up of cars coming up behind us to avoid anything that wasn’t the ditch. Fuck...
