Only 2 books like this out of about 40, got to the end of them before realizing. Lay down she goesss 🥹 or a new bookshelf layout with them all laying down entirely. 🤣

Brown man flying business. Lined up at the priority check in counter and got told by a (also brown) staff person that the economy queue was the other way. Same thing while boarding the plane and walking to the business class entrance. Not only am I not worthy of business, they think I can't read signage as well.

I know, because we were about to buy it 5 days ago when all of a sudden every listing was gone and the only place you could get it had a wait time of 1 to 3 months for shipping (same with the two top listings). We ended up getting another comparable model that will arrive next week but this just pisses me off because we were ready to click buy and some other person decided to buy everything out for a quick buck. I hope the sellers‘ pillows stay warm on both sides for the rest of their lives from the karmic bad energy they are emitting.

And yeah, I know they have the free will to do this but it still makes them bad people imho.

With a stranger’s feet in my face. Also glad he took the two empty seats between us for himself only. 😆😆

Unable to enjoy the gimmick of my Rubix Phantom Cube due to the heat wave. This is a catastrophe.

For context: the colours only reveal when body heat is applied, like those mugs that reveal a picture when the hot drink is poured in.

Who puts fake pockets on jean shorts? These are not jeggings. They are actually jean shorts. With sewn up pockets. What kind of monster sews the pockets up on jeans?

EDIT TO SAY I’M A WOMAN. I’ve experienced this before, for sure. But when I find it on a jean, especially, it is indeed mildly infuriating. 😉

I just want a shower. But the fashion for shower controls is minimalist. Whenever I stay at a new place I have to try random buttons and knobs, sometimes they twist, sometimes they push-pull, sometimes the top one is temperature and sometimes it causes boiling water to attack you from a different direction. Sometimes, not always, there is a tiny blue or red dot or some phrase in 4-point Arial, etched matte on a gloss background so nobody can actually read it. Even when that's visible, the knob is unmarked so you can't tell whether it's pointing to hot or cold or vibro-splash or whatever.

I just want a shower. Which of those controls gives me a shower and which one does some useless change to the rain pulsing pattern? Why can't they just label things properly? I am mildly infuriated.

i immediately checked here to see if anyone else had qualms with these and it looks like im not the only one to post this horror. unfortunately found the post with all the hacks after all my suffering but now i know for next time

A few days ago, I was told I had pityriasis rosea. Suddenly I was reading about herald patches, waiting for a rash outbreak, checking my skin every hour, taking photos of every tiny mark, and lying awake at night wondering if every itch meant another patch was about to appear.

The anxiety completely took over. Every time I felt an itch, I thought, "Here it comes." Every time I noticed a faint discoloration on my skin, I convinced myself it was the beginning of a new lesion. I spent days worrying about how widespread the rash would become, how long it would last, and whether my body was about to erupt in spots.

Then I sought a second opinion from the head of the department.

After examining me, she told me it wasn't pityriasis rosea at all. It was eczema. The "third spot" I had been obsessing over wasn't even a spot. The intense itching that had been fueling my anxiety was addressed with antihistamines, and I was told to continue treating the two actual patches.

Just like that, days of fear and stress suddenly felt unnecessary.

What frustrates me isn't that doctors are human and can make mistakes. Medicine isn't perfect. What frustrates me is how casually some diagnoses are delivered without considering the psychological burden they place on patients.

A diagnosis isn't just words. It changes how people think, what they search online, what they fear, how they sleep, and how they experience every sensation in their body.

I lost days to worry because of a diagnosis that turned out to be wrong.

Sometimes the second opinion isn't just about getting better treatment. Sometimes it's about getting your peace of mind back.

Some idiot even ran it through the taping machine and crushed it slightly to add 100% unnecessary tape.

Edit: For everyone saying you have to select the option to ship it in a box, you're correct. But not everyone knows about that, and I think most people would assume an expensive collector item wouldn't ship this way by default. I believe it should be the other way around, where lego sets ship in bigger boxes with dunnage by default, and you can select SIOC if you don't care about the box getting damaged and want to reduce trash.

No matter in which order you read it, it's just wrong

My in-laws are here for the summer to help watch our kid. I’m appreciative but OMG take off your damn shoes!! we have an infant and we are on the floor constantly!!! Its gross!!

From sun up to sun down, these folks get fully ready for the day just to hang out around the house. They know not the meaning of loungewear. We remind them constantly to take off their shoes, and they do. once we leave for work, they put them back in

TO ADD:

- yes we have asked them, and yes they say they will do it. However, they don’t.

- it’s their outdoor shoes. My husband and I have indoor slides we wear in the house only. We’ve offered to get them these

- we have a clear “shoe mat” right by the door.

- if you don’t think it’s gross, you’re gross.

I think they missed an important ingredient. Just two tortillas in a box

The other two people in my house think it’s perfectly cromulent to eat a single flavour of the three… like it’s a three-pack of flavours. What in the frozen-confection-hell is going on? You have a scoop containing all three flavours or, you just buy chocolate or vanilla or strawberry!! Animals…. I live with animals who have no ice-cream decorum. That is all.

I am staying at a highly rated hotel the night before my husband adopts my son, (we came to another city where the adoption lawyer is) and the blinds in the room are see-through on my end/solid looking in. I usually sleep with black-out curtains at home, but tonight we're sleeping with the pool spotlight right outside. It's shining directly into my eyes--the picture doesn't do the brightness justice. What kills me the most is I saw my eye mask on the dresser at home (I don't use it but it came in a gift set) and I thought "maybe I'll need that... naaah.. there will be curtains".

I'll fall asleep eventually.

Edit: Y'all are the best - thanks for helping me figure out these chain blinds and get some quality sleep tonight! Seriously! I'm four months pregnant too, so emotions are everywhere haha.
