Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

There was a guy in my school who used to eat raw protein powder on the bus. He didn't have very many friends.

 

Goodness, you are hard to please. You might just have to resign yourself to cooking the occasional carrot and washing the occasional butter knife.

 

I'm good with cooked oatmeal. Steel cut, preferably, with a pat of butter and a little sugar.

 

When radio stations do an interview which they’re trying to pass off as live, when it’s perfectly clear to any idiot that the guest was interviewed at an earlier time and we’re simply listening to a recording of their responses that the DJ plays after they’ve asked the question.

 

Facebook ads... AGAIN.

Me: -looks into healthy eating-
Also me: -posts recipes from dieting and healthy eating cook books from work-
Facebook: LETS SHOW HER ADS FOR WAIST TRAINERS, PLUS SIZE CLOTHING, SLIMMING UNDERWEAR, GIRDLES, AND VEGAN ICE CREAM!!!!

 

There’s been some reshuffling at our place due to a few retirements and I now start the day at a nearby park instead of the depot. Because I’m the only one there when I arrive I have to phone my line manager at 07:30 to let him know I’m there, but how many ways are there to say that? This is only my second week and already I’ve run out of options. “Morning. Just checking in.” “Hiya. Just letting you know I’m in.” “Hi. I’m in.” ????

 

I am...not a religious person. On FB I'm very not a religious person. And sometimes after I post something very not religious FB's algorithm notices the subject or object of my post but not the verb(s) and decides that I need to see ads for personal masses said by genuine Ukrainian BenedeTrapezJesuFranciscoan Monks, or need a gyaranteeeeed jenuine peice of the Tru Cros or would liek to attned a tretreat for Jeebus.

 

I had some modeling clay and the packaging had "gluten-free" on it and WHY WOULD IT BE GLUTEN-FREE?? DO SOMEONE EAT CLAY??
I guess clay is a gluten-free delicacy now

 

See pica, specifically geophagy.

 

When you've been having a really great week (it's sunny, it's beautiful, I've been doing great work and getting stuff done, and started putting myself first for once!), and someone accuses you of being 'in a mood' or 'you look tired' or 'you look like you're having a bad day'. Dude, I literally slid into the kitchen with sunglasses on, made a goofy face and did finger-guns, what in the name of hell makes that look like a bad day???

I swear, it's like they're deliberately trying to bring you down. What a killjoy.

 

Huh I wonder if you could cook that clay...maybe add some salt in there-?
(actually there is a thing called edible "clay" it's not clay but feels like it, there are tutorial on how to make it)

Edit: I found out that there is soil biscuits but the real question is, does it tastes good?

 

I don’t think he’d mind any of those, but it’s not really ‘me’

 

Those moments of feeling wide-awake (or ‘second wind’ as I believe they’re technically known) that hit at around 4-5am, after you’ve either been up all night or been in and out of sleep, which make you feel like you’re ready for the world, but in reality will have you seriously flagging around mid-morning and ready for bed early-afternoon.

 

These stupid Manga adds that pop up here. Like, it's clearly not your kid friendly sort of stuff. I guess I can always just block it, but I think I'm just lazy.

So lazy that I posted about it and did nothing...

...They are kind of funny though. This cat that's actually a person one keeps popping up with the guy being like "can I pet you" and the girl trapped inside a cat's body clearly way nervous. Good job with your silly metaphor.

Now I can't decide if it's worth blocking or not. Still annoyed.

 

Is there no one in the UK who can, and will, tell Piers Morgan to STFU?

 

This myth that owning your own business means you can just have whatever schedule you want with complete freedom.

Actually, I think it means you now work 7 days a week.

 

I think ads depend on your browsing history.

I get ads for books I've already bought...

 

I get ads for mature dating on some Google-driven sites. I have no idea what in my browsung history makes Google think I need a lonely middle-aged woman.

 

Run your own business while still working part time for someone else and you get to work 20 hours a day as well as 7 days a week. The fun never ends.

 

Alas, my business involves skills and services that aren't readily assigned to employees.

 

So I follow this feral cat rescue organization that livestreams out of British Columbia. A couple-three months ago they brought in one of the most popular members of the colony for medical and dental care. He healed up and decided life with humans wasn't so bad after all. A week ago he was adopted by a nice Canadian couple.

Happy times, and they're running daily livestreams to show how he's settling in with them and their previous cats.

The thing that-annoys-me-but-shouldn't? On the livestreams this couple wears face masks. In their own house. With nobody there but their two selves and the cats.

Whatever for? Is this a Canadian thing?

Spoiler: Because he's just so darn cute
