Don’t bring gag gifts to a white elephant

dump day dumpster etiquette: why do people keep throwing their crap in our bin?

so my husband and i always put our trash bins out on the same days and when they get emptied, i walk out to take them back in and theres dog waste bags just dumped in ours. like... why cant people just throw it in their own bins or better yet, carry it to a legit dog waste bin. weve talked to the neighbors, my landlord and my coworker karen has even told me its happened to her too... at this point i think its just a bunch of inconsiderate people, idk i just think its disgusting and somehow its become a thing now, like, literally every tuesday and im just genuinely at my wit's end lol ngl

Resumes are so annoying

They make it impossible to apply to jobs online, they’re grueling to make and customize, and most employers aren’t looking at it that hard at all - if everything isn’t already AI anyways. Why can’t we just have a totally different system like a digital site/hub or whatever that removes all the work of fill out every line of experience for 100 different jobs each time for a bot to read

I shouldn’t feel obligated to invite my neighbors to my house party, even if we’re friends

Just bc you’re in close proximity and we hang out doesn’t mean you get a default invite

instagram moderation bans for stupid reasons

i swear, literally every time i try to post a picture of my cat on a slightly off-brand caption, instagram somehow thinks i'm posting spam or hate speech. like... why do they have to be so aggressive. my landlord even told me once that his nephew got banned for posting a pic of his breakfast. at this point, i genuinely don't know what's more likely to get my account deleted: posting a picture of my feet or a screenshot of my electricity bill. i'm talking like, i get a notification that my account will be restricted or disabled for 'violating instagram's terms' and there's literally zero explanation. some days, like today, i just wanna post a pic of my cat and be left alone. but no, it's like... ngl, idk what i even did. somehow my account is still active. for now.

It’s an immediate ick for me when people say you can’t cook

I’m in my 30s and when I meet full capable people who still can’t make anything outside of a boxed recipe it tells me so much about them tbh. Like if you can’t even learn a basic skill I’m going to assume you just don’t put effort in a lot of areas of your life

People who say that AI is overrated and not a risk to their job sound so dumb

I feel like I’ve met so many people within tech and marketing who think AI couldn’t possibly ever displace them - and it’s usually people who have barely even touched any of the platforms.

these tech companies keep laying us off like we are nothing

the secretary of defense quoted pulp fiction at an official government event and this is just tuesday now

i have run out of the capacity to be surprised and i don't know if that's growth or defeat.

apps are literally designed to keep you single. a relationship means you cancel your subscription.

they make money while you're unhappy and looking. there is no financial incentive for them to help you find someone. think about it.

i have not been on a date from a dating app in 18 months and i'm still subscribed to three of them

i keep renewing out of optimism. this is a gambling addiction but for loneliness.

my pharmacy has been understaffed for so long that calling them is just not a thing anymore

i stood in line for 20 minutes to ask a question that should have been a 30-second phone call. they had 3 people for 200 prescriptions.

called my insurance's customer service and got a bot that said my problem was 'resolved' three times

the problem: i cannot afford the bill. the resolution: you can pay online or by phone. this is not a resolution.

i paid $450/month in premiums and my $15 prescription was denied as 'not medically necessary'

my doctor prescribed it. it is, by definition, medically necessary. who is the insurance company's medical director and why do they get to override my physician.

insurance denied my MRI. my doctor appealed. denied again. now i just live with the symptoms.

the person who denied it has never seen me, doesn't know my history, and will never be accountable for this decision.
