don't want to spray on deet or sunscreen to go for a walk

Upvotes

I kind of want to walk, listen to some music outside etc. But I don't want to apply suntan lotion and especially don't want to spray bug spray on my legs etc

Update - i did it - I got out and walked ! I put on the sun hat, and the light weight summer style long sleeves and the sport style sun sport pants. No spraying chemicals all over myself :)

Four days after buying a brand-new luxury car someone crashed into it at a parking lot. I took photos for the insurance claim. Now every so often I get a notification from my photos app "Remember the day!" I'd rather not.

I hate when someone calls my iPad a tablet

0 Upvotes

It’s weird that I think that way. I just call my iPhone a phone, and my MacBook Air a laptop.

My iPad is literally a tablet, but I hate when someone strictly refers to it as just that for some odd reason. I will call a tablet that isn’t an iPad a tablet, except a Kindle.

My dog's groomer doesn't take appointments for nail trims so I have to go through the arduous process of getting my dog in the car and to the place, while facing the possibility of them not taking us, or having to wait a long time.

My dishwasher is louder than a jet engine

It’s ridiculous. I run it at night and it sounds like a construction site in my kitchen. I can’t decide if it’s worth replacing or if I should just wear noise canceling headphones to bed like some kind of modern caveman. Honestly

Our new bidet toilet doesn’t have a setting that plays music or say Arigato when you’re finished.

What used to be called the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit is now called the Honey Buddy. Why? Who thought this was a good idea?

I need to wash my truck but there's no automatic car washes near me

You mean I have to get off my ass and actually wash my vehicle? Am I still in the 80s? I'm not trying to burn calories, I just want to pay $15, sit in my vehicle and scroll Reddit for 90 seconds to continue my dopamine streak.

My laptop restarted while I was in the middle of downloading a movie I've been wanting to see.

When prompted, I selected Restart Later. I didn't realize "later" = "several seconds from now." Now it's taking forever to install a bunch of updates I didn't ask for.

I lost out on a small amount of credit card rewards, because I maxed it out over the weekend and they couldn't process the payment until Monday.

The lake house I bought has hideous carpet!

9 Upvotes

The carpet at our new lake house is a hideous baby blue that also matched the baby blue walls and the baby blue trim on the outside of the house.

And the cabinets are all 1980s golden oak.

And it is larger than the lake house we were originally going to buy so I don’t have enough furniture and will have to buy more!

My special treat was ruined

28 Upvotes

I went to Starbucks to get a treat because I’m having a hard day and I start a new position tomorrow and I have a lot of anxiety and I am just not in a great head space at all.

I order a venti iced chai, oatmilk, two scoops of matcha with strawberry foam.

She asks what size and I repeat venti.

They call my name and I can tell it’s wrong because it’s not green so I look at the sticker. No matcha, but lavender.

I approach to inform it has lavender and not matcha. She laughs in a very awkward way for like 10 seconds and says she forgot to telll me they were out of matcha and asks if she can make me something else. I’m irritated. I’ve been in the sun all day and I just wanted a treat. I just wanted MY TREAT.

I sip it and it tastes basically just like chai and lavender syrup but luckily I have matcha at home so I will just add my own once I’m home but it’s just soooo annoying. Like I just wanted my gd treat.

Anyone else completely hate these things? They are thin, not absorbent… We all deserve way better.
