Tiny Complaints

Tie it back, or do a bun?

my timing for when I play various daily brain fidget games is all borked in a different time zone. Squardle isn’t ready for me at 6am, Nerdle and Waffle aren’t around at 8pm.

I don’t know why, but to me this is the absolute perfect tiny complaint. Like, it’s just trivial enough, ultimately, while being just annoying enough. Perfect. The platonic ideal of TCs.

Splitwise made the functionality basically useless unless you get the paid version. They made it a monthly subscription too. I feel like if making it paid, a better model would be to pay for a trip or something as a one time fee.

TV I found a spreadsheet on reddit that did the same thing for free! It took a bit of finagling to get it where I needed it but now I have that for future trips.

There are multiple places where I can transfer busses on my trip to the new office and I keep changing at places earlier than the app tells me to. All the stops have had shelters and been in nice areas with shops and trees and things. Today it is pouring and I take the bus all the way to where the app wants me to transfer - and this stop is on a sort of desolate marginal road with no shelter. So now I am fairly soaked. Grumble

I have an Ikea couch, the cushion covers come off for washing.
I haven’t done it in years.
Now that they are clean, the removable covers are a different colour from the parts of the couch that I can’t take off.
I didn’t have a laundry mishap that tinted the covers, my couch is just apparently filthy.

Why is existence so gross?

Email from my mum.


She will phone later and expect a reaction to it, and will get mad that the forward didn’t work.

Bets on it being a Jesus thing?

Or a photo of a pet or family member or nature scene. Jesus is most likely but not the only option.

My cat says I’m a monster for only letting her roll around in the boring washed wool and not the unwashed wool that is full of sheep poop.

I’m on your cat’s side, you monster.

I got a giant-ass load of dirt today for my garden. So naturally, to hinder my progress in spreading it, we’re getting the first substantial rainstorm (with tons of lightning) we’ve had in weeks :roll_eyes:

Honestly, more than a tiny complaint so skip if you want, I just needed to shout into the void a bit

Fucking fuck seriously? Another friend just got a cancer diagnosis (very early thankfully, but very aggressive breast cancer), she also has two young kids, and a friend from nursing school died suddenly and I don’t know what happened, and her boys are middle and high school. And what the FUCK universe. I’m both angry and scared right now. Probably sad is in there somewhere but I’m bad at feeling that one. I’m in my fucking THIRTIES I’m not supposed to be having tons of friends in health crisis yet!!

I’m so sorry, that’s awful. Shout away.

Mid thirties is when the terrifying health crises started for my friend group, and it hasn’t stopped. Older friends tell me it never does. This is one part of aging that i could happily do without.

As the prophets foretold, the years start coming and they don’t stop coming.

I really expected this to wait until my 40s.

Precocious!

(not really, from what I’ve seen this is normal. Shitty and normal.)

I have an annual bill due soon. I can’t remember how I paid it last year. I can’t use online banking and I don’t know my username or password. Maybe I have to call somone? That seems barbaric.

Next year at this time I’m guaranteed to have the same complaint.
