Things that bother you more than they should

Forgetting to shake up the ketchup bottle before pouring and you get all that ketchup water splooshing out!!! :angry:

I never noticed that about you, but then again that’s probably because you don’t think I’m funny enough for a fake laugh. It bothers me when it’s a cow-orker sitting near me - had to endure it for several months when I started my current job, but fortunately she was a temp.

Where are the engineers at on this one? Surely in a world of quantum computers and iPhones, we can figure out how to make ketchup/mustard that doesn’t develop that water on top. Right?

:tfh:

Just let me know where you work and I’ll make sure never to apply there. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I just sprayed mustard water on my ham and cheese sammich!!! Will this nightmare never end??? :rage: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

It would bother you more if you sprayed mustard gas on it

Does this happen with the upside down versions? I don’t think we have to shake the version on the right to avoid ketchup water.

We use the right one and still have some ketchup water. Not a ton, but enough to need to do a quick little at the sink first.

Yeah we do the upside down kind too and there is definitely less ketchup water but still some

I had to use my dad’s car while it was in the shop. The seat belt bell is louder and more often than in my car so I had to buckle up every single time to avoid being very annoyed every 20 seconds.

Why aren’t you buckling up anyways? :exploding_head:

2 things:

  1. Using a car while it is in the shop? Impressive! :wink:
  2. Sounds like the bell is doing its job. Kudos to the designer.

About the only time I’ve ever really felt sympathy for someone being annoyed by those bells is my uncle, who works on a farm and is usually driving ridiculously slow and getting in and out of his truck a lot.

People who don’t accept responsibility for mistakes. I was supposed to have a procedure done yesterday, it was cancelled last minute by the doctor due to a scheduling mistake, and the soonest they can get me back in is six weeks from now. No effort to stay open late to squeeze me in, no attempt at any kind of apology for the error and inconvenience. I’m feeling livid.

This happened to my child recently with a refill for their depression meds, the person told my child to simmer down (after being without their meds for going on 5 days despite repeatedly contacting the pharmacy and the doctor’s office). I’m still mad for them, but they are voting with their dollars and finding a new doctor and specifically stating why, both verbally and in writing.

Sounds like that is bothering you exactly as much as it should then. How incredibly irritating.

My massage therapist called in sick one day and they didn’t bother to tell me so I showed up at our appointment time and the staff was rather non-apologetic at first. I’d had scheduling issues with the staff before (providers are excellent, but the staff stinks) so I asked to speak to the scheduling manager. She works from home, no way to speak over the phone, only email… at some point during all of this one of the doctors walked by and heard what was going on and offered for my next massage to be free as a result of my inconvenience. So at least I got something for my troubles. :woman_shrugging:

Good for them for all of this. :clap:

I haven’t bought ketchup in years - when I cook burgers I use an easy recipe that mixes in paprika so no need for ketchup IMO. But a few years ago we had a couple friends over and it didn’t occur to get ketchup since some people just like ketchup on their burgers no matter what. Since then we’ve made it a point to save the little ketchup packets that come with restaurant deliveries.

Just like Grandma did. Do you reuse teabags too?

My grandma used to wash and reuse ziplock bags
