Post your petty complaints here

Everybody has little annoyances in their day to day life that are noticeable, but that can't be easily fixed and aren't really worth bringing up a lot of the time. They aren't relationship enders, or dangerous, or majorly disruptive, but whenever you're reminded of them you sigh a little bit. This is the thread for those complaints.

I'll start: In the second closest bathroom to my office at work, all of the stalls are designed so the doors automatically swing closed instead of open when the lock isn't engaged. So if you have to go, you have to look for people's shoes to see what stall is available, which is awkward.

Delis and deli workers that refuse to put condiments on your sandwich are the worst. "The ketchup is over there." I don't give a shit if the ketchup is "over there." The ketchup should be behind the deli and you should be adding it to my sandwich along with the salt and the pepper. How dare you? Without the condiments, the sandwich is literally incomplete. It's an ingredient. A cheesesteak without ketchup or barbecue sauce is a bland and vile thing. A bacon, egg, and cheese without salt, pepper, and ketchup is a travesty. Oh, why don't I put it on myself? For many reasons. For one, once the cheese has melted into the sandwich, opening it to put condiments on is awkward at best and ruinous at worst. Two, what if I want to eat while I walk? What am I supposed to do, open a ketchup packet and squirt it on the sandwich while I'm eatwalking?

I only have 8 plugs in my surge protector at work and I need 9 so I can have a 4th monitor

There's a particular person in the office who repeatedly leaves time on the microwave and the door hanging open.

Also none of these fuckers are willing to change out the water jug in the dispenser but they'll sure stand there with the button pressed as the machine makes an unholy racket trying to suction out the last dregs of the empty jug.

Oh I hate that microwave thing. Honestly, if I ever leave the company, that's going on my exit interview.

There’s this guy at work that’s pulled a ligament in their left arm so they’re working slower and the guy is me and I’m self employed.

I don't have any complaints about Tom Petty. Free Fallin is still pretty good

Maybe if you're getting a lousy cheesesteak!

Ketchup on a cheese steak? Huh that's the first time I've ever heard of that actually

The light bulb in my fridge died and it's some inane proprietary LED thing instead of just a regular bulb so I'm stuck with a dark, cavernous fridge while I wait for a replacement to arrive.

I've got a bug bite on my leg that won't stop itching.

Poorochondriac

The dishwasher has started making a faint, high-pitched whine at certain parts of its cycle and I can't figure out how to get it to stop

A Dabble Of Thelonius

Have you fed the dishwasher and made sure it has adequate space for play?

Edit / perhaps it pines tragically for it's cousin in Australia

It's an indoor dishwasher, it mostly naps

People who get in the right lane at a red light, but then don't turn.
Particularly when I'm behind them, and planning to turn.
But never when it's me and that's the logical lane to be in to arrive at my destination.

I'm sick of all of this shit

Darmak

All the spoons we have came with the house, and there's so many different sizes and most of them are those shitty circular spoons that are too big and don't fit in my mouth quite right. The few normal spoons we have all have chipped and jagged edges and cut my mouth when I use em.

My shoulder hurts. All the time.

Getting old is bullshit

Mayo being the default on burgers at half the places around here. Everyone once in a while I forget to tell them not to add it and it ruins the thing.

Elaro

My jaw hurts

I need to change out the water filter in my fridge, and the cover is like mega stuck on there.

Captain Inertia

Seriously I want to bend over without my shirt coming untucked

I want my legs to look long and svelte

I don’t care about pretending to have a juicy booty

It gets dark to early

My lower back aches or hurts almost every day

Also I'm really badly nightblind so driving past like 7pm in the winter is pretty tough

We have 1 spoon and 1 fork that are rougher on the edges than all the other ones.

And nobody else in the house likes them. They will move the rough spoon aside to get the ones underneath. I dislike the rough spoon, but not enough to make the effort to move it. So I end up using it, resentfully.

Uriel

I have one fork where one of the four tines is sightly out of alignment with the other three tines and every time I use it I try to pull my food off it with my mouth I knock my teeth on the one tine and it is irritating because it's not something I ever notice when I pull it out of the drawer

My shower has a habit of losing the heat in its water for 30 seconds randomly.

I'm 90% sure my dog has an ear infection and after calling 20 vet offices the soonest appointment I can get is next Friday.

Fuckin hate when this happens

Everyone adopted pets during the initial work from home period and now vet offices are perpetually swamped. That's not a joke, it's what our vet told me about why getting appointments takes over a month now.

If you have an emergency vet near you maybe that's worth a shout? We did that with our oldest dog when he had an ear infection recently.

There needs to be more COVID testing sites. Like, if there's a wait longer than 3 hours, someone fucked up.

Wal-Mart needs to go back (at least locally) to being open 24/7; yes, there are times when I need to do grocery shopping at 4am.

I'm too happy

They're only taking critical cases right now.

I kinda hate when I'm going five or ten miles above the speed limit and someone decides to ride up my ass for however long before getting angry and whipping it into the wide open left lane and nearly grenading their mid 2000s Ford Explorer.

Oof. Sorry for your four legged friend, that's a crappy situation.
