What's Bothering You?

I'm kinda sad the Pet Peeve thread got locked. It was a good place to vent about things that weren't totally personal.

For example:

I'm sorta tired of everything being over monetized. Buying a game and running into deluxe edition, premium edition, ultimate edition, sorting out 10 DLC packs.

Or just wanting to play chess online and being walled out of features because of subscription tiers.

I already caved and bought YouTube premium lite because I like browsing YouTube on my phone. (it helps if I expirence anxiety at night). The alternative is sitting through dozens and dozens of ads for every click. I'm not tech savvy enough to hack my phone and implant an adblock either.


It's impossible to escape. Even when you've already taken a subscription, your pressured into buying more.

"We see your enjoying Netflix. How about upgrade to our family plan or try our ad free tier".

These are examples of the types of posts that our team feel fit this thread better than the pet peeves thread, which is why we chose to close the other thread. There was a lot of overlap in how the two threads were being used. This thread isn't intended solely for issues in your personal life. It is for the little things that are annoying you as well.

I'm going to politely disagree with this.

Posting about minor grievances into a thread where people are commonly writing about greater problems befalling them such as illness, death, or job loss feels a tad bit awkward and wrong to me when I do it.

Someone above me writing about their mom dying and below them I write about an itch on my leg. The intention of this thread states it's fine to overlap but the human part of me is going to naturally feel self conscious and maybe even guilty for doing it. Thread rules or not. That doesn't cancel out posting with a consideration of what others are going through. It's going to naturally make me feel a certain way.

Let us agree to disagree. I know that this isn't a respectful space for such discussion so I'm going to cease it. People are quite complex and I just don't agree that all issues can be encapsulated under one banner.
 
My next appointment to with Universal credit is in person. :/
Which is more of a hassle. Because of bus travel and the fact I'm waiting more to see them than the actual meeting with my work coach. I asked why the change, and he said oh well its not always gonna be on phone, okay? But every other meeting leading up to this was a phone call?
And last time it was phone call because of not having money to travel there?

Also forgot next week I'll be finishing work at 10:30 instead (half term for kids) and I dunno if I should go straight to them since my appointment is at 11:35.
 
Just paid £120 to get a switch in my kitchen repaired. It powers undercounter LED lights and, for some bizarre reason, my dishwasher.

He did the repair, but told me that because whoever wired my kitchen decided to hook it up to a light switch that the problem will happen again. The dishwasher requires higher amperage, so it burned out the switch.

He quoted another £96 to rewire my dishwasher back into the (turns out redundant) dishwasher switch. He'll need to come back another day to do it.

Our home was the previous owners DIY project. Dear S: why???

i spent a part of the day yesterday out in the backyard trying to board up and block off open spots along the bottom of the fence. my cats like to play in the grass and i’m always worried that one of them will slip under the fence and then won’t know how to come back 😭 i dreamt last night that i missed an open by accident and one of my cats did exactly that 😫 i woke up in a panic only to realize she was sleeping by my feet…but it felt very real and scary 🥲

feeling like this i willed this into existence by even "saying it out loud" because on thursday while we were playing in the grass outside, one of my cats hopped through a widen gap between the fence board to the neighbour's yard

i clearly underestimated how skittish my cats both are cause i didn't think either of them had it in them. it's boarded up now but i feel so silly for plugging up gaps between the ground and the fences, but totally missed a wide spot in the actual fence 🧍‍♀️
 
I’m done joining friend making servers. I almost always get ghosted within a few days (and often within a few messages). Even the ones that messaged me first and added me on their friend list ghosted be super quickly. My friends have said I’m a good texter, so I have no idea what was going on. For example, someone messaged me from one of those servers and said “I was wondering if you were open to chats.” I said sure and they added me. I sent one more message and never heard from them again. I sent a second message in case they forgot to respond and still nothing. What’s the point of pretending to be interested in getting to know someone if you’re just going to immediately ghost them? I didn’t even say anything bad. Another time someone pretended to be my friend for two months and just used me to emotionally dump on and then sent an abrupt “Please stop texting me. I no longer want to be friends anymore. Enjoy the rest of your day,” message.

I think I just got unusually lucky with that one group of online friends I made on one of those servers. We’ve texted each other in a group chat daily for two years and they’re awesome. They’re definitely the exception. Most people I’ve met on Discord just treat me like a disposable person to talk to until they’re bored.
 
The state (SC) I live in keeps playing this weird anti-vaping propaganda ad and it's not what you think it is. It's insane and they keep playing it. I hate it here so much.

The ad is saying that the Chinese are tracking your kids with them, with the ad depicting them watching kids and stuff. I'm not kidding, I'm surprised it's not online yet. I don't know much about vaping, so this is new to me.

I have to go to work today, 1pm to 5pm and I'm not looking forward to it.
And I don't trust that it won't be busy when I'm there. Also awkward timing, means I needs to eat lunch earlier before I go, but my body doesn't like that so will probably be hungry throughout the day. (I don't want any food there, nor do I really like bringing in anything, it's not like we have an area separated from customers to eat)

Also woke up ans saw a message from my bosses ex that was sent two hours ago (why he thinks I'll be up at 7 I don't know) and it says to call him 😔 Great.

Edit: omg it got worse a coworker is sick and wants me to come straight away 😫
 
I am awake before 5 am after having really weird dreams. I'd like to sleep more before the day starts :/
Also, I feel... Not exactly on edge... But it feels like a ton of stuff is changing in my life right now at once. So.. it's a little much. It's not all negative.. but a little whipped up. Stimulating, or mind racing.
