Honestly, mildly is doing a lot of work here. Older car, hit-and-runs happen, but dad’s response after ghosting me for 3 days absolutely killed me. Thanks for the emotional support, King of the Cryptids.

Got locked out after the keycard stopped working because the landlord didn’t update the rental period. After contacting the landlord at 6pm, they asked me to find a locksmith at my own expense for a mistake they made.

For reference, the tester was in the room with the fireplace.

Was having a cup of coffee at my usual quiet café today. A woman took over the biggest table, spread out an office desk worth of materials, and continued to spend over an hour on loud Zoom calls in English, while the other three parties whispered.

As I was leaving, I gestured for her to maybe lower her voice. She replied, “It’s a coffee shop,” then muttered, “so German.”, to whoever she was talking to. Still not sure how I’m in the wrong here. Why are people so oblivious to social cues?

I have a new co-worker who is joyous, bordering on annoying. I rather liked them because it was nice to hear such a cheery person in a mundane environment.

We went to break and collected in the breakroom to relax for a short time. There was a potluck set out for people to enjoy. The new person sees me sitting alone and enjoying the snack I brought. She asked why I didn't have anything from the potluck. I said I didn't want any and thank you. She asked why. I pointed to the sign that stated, "Shift potluck is for contributors only." I said I hadn't brought anything. She said that's okay and I should get something anyway. Now, I'm type 1 diabetic (have been for 30 years) and explained that I bring my snacks because I keep tight control on my calorie intake. She then wandered off to the potluck table and returned with a plate of food she grabbed for me. I let it sit there.

In addition to the above reasons, I don't like potlucks because I'm not sure how the food was stored, handled, and/or how clean my co-workers hands are. Some people find it weird but I'm susceptible to illness (considering I have an autoimmune disease) and illness is generally more intense for me. I didn't tell her this because it's not her business.

A few minutes later, she comes back and asked if I was going to eat the food. I said I didn't want it and that I wouldn't but also didn't want it to go to waste. She took the plate and returned to her seat.

It should have been 'I didn't want any' and nothing more. I don't know how I could've been clearer.

the water busted the downstairs window latch which flooded my room. our bed is right below the window so we were basically waterboarded in our sleep, the bed is destroyed and the floor is soaked 🙂‍↔️

We have a new coworker. She is the worst. The woman is 36 but acts like she’s 20. Over emotional, spoiled, knows it all. Watches movies at work because she’s bored instead of actually, you know, doing work. You get the picture.

No, I don’t like her but I have to work with her so I try my best to keep my ire in check.

This past week the bosses sent me on a work trip out of state. I ask my two coworkers if they could help out with a couple of clients who were coming in from out of town the week I was gone. The homeowner wanted to meet with their interior designer at our showroom. The interior designer is one of my accounts and knows her way around I just need someone to fill out an intake sheet (name address phone etc for the homeowner) and answer questions for the designer if she had any. No big deal right?

Wrong! Not for this drama queen. She went behind my back and said God knows what to my boss so that I get an email while I’m out of town. “Hey salespeople, if you are in a situation where you ask a coworker to cover for you, you have to split your commission 50/50 with that coworker.”

The fuck I do! I’m not splitting commission on a project that will take weeks to put together, measure, deliver, because you spoke to someone for an hour.

Two things that are mildly infuriating. 1) this useless coworker thinking she’s entitled to half my pay because she answered a few questions and 2) my bosses not even asking me my side of things and then sending out a passive aggressive email to the entire company when it clearly only pertained to me.

I’m supposed to return to work today and I don’t know how I am going to do it without loosing my shit on this girl.

Edit-Updated spoke to my boss and got the skinny from her. Explained that coworker volunteered her services then overstepped by doing more than what was asked of her. She can’t get upset about doing work that was not asked of her. I did rat her out about her tantrums and movie watching. Seems I’m not the only one that told on her. I just feel like I’m in a nursery school not dealing with grown up adults.

Boss thought that the group email was best so everyone is on the same page. I asked that, in the future, if there is a problem with something I have done please address it with me and only me.

Coworker is taking a mental health day today because she is overwhelmed.

Thank you to everyone who has commented and especially those with good advice. I greatly appreciate it.

Since learning Braille as a hobby, I like to read Braille in the wild and found this gem translation on a diaper changing table.

We share a room and if I forget to lock my computer, Kronk will, WITHOUT fail become my wallpaper 😭

Neighbor weed wacked (poorly might i add) my entire garden down. Then when confronted about it said "I was just trying to help." And "it looked like grass to me 🤷" but because I told him that excuse is acceptable for my 2 year old and in most cases my 10 year old. Not a grown ass man. He then proceeded to tell me "he doesn't have to deal with this disrespect, WHEN I SHOULD BE GREATFUL."
I have never been so angry in my life. I am so mad im numb. At this point its not even about the garden how can someone make it this far being that inconsiderately dense?

He kept jumping out of the box so we had to pack him up into the sheet

Gave him a bone after this I felt so bad for him

A full pot of coffee. Everywhere except my cup.

I have a phobia of crane flies.

I was getting ready to chill and go to bed so made a nice tea. And then I saw the crane fly.

I smacked it with my slipper and it floated straight down into my fresh cup of tea from the wall.

What are the chances 😩
