What annoys you?--a place to put it and leave it

[Food Lady]

Having to get up in the middle of working to deal with paint fumes and a squeaky door (that because no one else will) is supremely anoying. It is distracting me from what I'm supposed to be doing, what my company is paying me to do.

People who don't know the difference between "loose" and "lose."

People who don't know the difference between "loose" and "lose."

My daughter's best friend got a tattoo "BORN TO LOOSE". Too bad he didn't also double the "O" in "to".

People who don't know the difference between "loose" and "lose."

I've made a similar complaint about people looking for a "dominate." Yours is not the pain that is the fun kind.

I have a limited time on break so I'm annoyed at having to dig in the freezer just to forage something to eat. I don't even eat 3 meals a day but goodness, could I have at least one? And the house was nice and cool this morning but since it hit 70-something outside, alll the windows needed to be opened and that makes it hotter in here. Fresh air is good, but not always. I'm tired of being hungry and hot. I just don't want to pay $600+ more per month to have my own household but I might need to for my sanity.

At least one of the switches probably controls an outlet.

It does--my room is the same way. Said outlet in the living room is the bottom of the two behind the TV (which I've identified)...at least for the wall switch right as you enter the apartment. There's a second switch right as you enter the living room...the outlet that it likely controls is currently behind a bookcase. One of those outlets does have a power strip plugged into it, which still doesn't help (I don't know which of the two outlets in that plate it's actually plugged into). A few of the outlets in this place are wired wrong--one of the outlets in my room will trip the breaker for my room and the kitchen if conditions are just so. Mom won't say anything to maintenance and doesn't think I should either...in order to do anything I need to figure out what's bad, which I can't (should have been done before we moved in).

Apparently it's "not necessary" for me to figure this out...but if we have wall switches why not use them?! And if there's a potential risk it needs to be addressed.

All I can think of is that Friends episode where they had a light switch that did nothing.

Mine for today is: just put the food in the mic for 3 minutes, then stir. You don't have to mic for 1 minute, take out, slam the door, and repeat 2 to 3 more times. JUST PUT IT FOR 3 MINUTES. *ahem* Pet peeve.

Totally Useless highway signs: I215N on the east side of Salt Lake Valley (construction):
"Lane split ahead"
"Exits 4&2 Keep left"

Unless you are a frequent flyer on this route, you have no idea that Exit 4 is 45th, 39th & 33rd South [local]... or that Exit 2 is for I80E to park City, Wyoming, &etc.

I see a lot of people trying to cross 3 lanes of traffic in a hundred yards!

People who cut others out of their lives for ideologies they don't agree with....and then spout the same ideas.

[Pixelated]

People who send you friend invites on Facebook and then assume it makes you bosom buddies forevermore. Got one like that right now; he messaged he with "Hi!" immediately upon discovering I'd accepted his friend request.

Now, I don't always get notifications of FB messages and I certainly don't bother checking for them. So apparently he's sent me a couple of these, including "Are you all right?" and the latest "Can you tell me what's troubling you?"

Well, buddy, YOU are.

This is not a relative or close friend; this is somebody I'd never even heard of before about two weeks ago. I'm trying to think of a polite way to shut him down.

[Nunavut Pants]

Just be honest. Don't discard honesty for politeness.

"Dude, I don't really know you, and I'm not going to chat randomly about my day with you as if you were my best buddy. Chill."

Start telling them about the fantastic fictitious life you're living.

I hate how my mom touches raw bacon and then a bunch of other stuff in the kitchen. Well, none of us have died yet....
Gonna go wipe EVERYTHING down later.
