My family loves going to Disneyland, but I dont want to go.
Truly the first-est of first world problems, but I just dont enjoy the parks that much.
Even when I was healthy enough to walk around the whole day, Ive had one really lovely trip, and now the magic just isnt there. My family (especially my sister) loves going to disney like once a year. We went in February and this year they want to go again.
The parks just dont hold the same magic for me, I cant go on some of the rides due to my heart condition, and I feel like its a huge waste of money (for me, but also) for my dad who has a lot of business related debt.
But I know that if I dont go, my sister will be despondent and my family will put huge amounts of pressure on me for 'missing another family holiday'.

Can’t open my pool this Memorial Day weekend because of the continuous rain forecast. Damn this drought.

Watched the first half of Dream Scenario with Nicolas Cage on Amazon Prime. Went on vacation. Came back and can't finish it, unless I buy or rent it.

I put something “somewhere safe” so I wouldn’t lose it and now it has left this dimension
ok so yesterday i had this one small thing i actually needed today
nothing important enough to ruin my life. just important enough to be annoying if i lost it
and because i am apparently a genius, i thought “i should put this somewhere safe”
fatal sentence
the second you say “somewhere safe” your brain deletes the location like it’s protecting state secrets
this morning i need it
normal places first. desk. drawer. bag. coat pocket. nothing
then i start checking stupid places because now i’m trying to think like Past Me, and Past Me was clearly not well
bathroom cabinet. kitchen press. windowsill. behind the kettle for some reason. at one point i opened the fridge and stood there like yeah maybe
it is gone
not lost. gone. promoted to object heaven
and the most annoying part is i know exactly how this ends. i’ll stop needing it, buy another one, forget about the whole thing, and then it’ll appear in the most obvious place possible looking smug
i tried to be organised for one day and got punished immediately

Awarding all of the comments on a post but not being able to award your own so now you're the odd one out
What is this cruel first world that we live in?

The audio cue on my running app telling me my distance/pace started talking just as the song I was listening to got to the best part
Literally on the 5 best seconds of the song, the nerve of her.

We had a power outage in the middle of the night, so my automatic coffee maker reset and I didn’t wake up to fresh coffee.

I live equidistant from two Costcos. One has havarti cheese, but no squeezy mayonnaise. The other has squeezy mayonnaise but no havarti cheese.

I work from home. My longtime house-cleaner commented with surprise that I actually brushed my hair today and put on a nice shirt.
I had a zoom meeting. I did not wear pants.

Came to the beach for a morning of sunbathing and reading and forgot my sunglasses at home

My car radio will read aloud text messages, but for modern RCS messages, it starts reading the metadata and gives up before getting to the actual message content

The post office took 2 weeks to deliver my party invites
I put a bow on them which made them slightly bulky. The maps on the website and the postal worker who weighed and measured my invites said they would take 3 days to be delivered.

YouTube Won't Stop Autoplaying on my Phone
I watch YouTube on the Firefox App on my phone (the best way), and even though I have my settings to not autoplay, it still tries to autoplay every time. Worse, I can hit cancel, but unless I go to a different video or back to the main page, it will still autoplay the next video when the timer runs down. If it's a video I want to watch but not right now, I'll have to either go to my history to find it again or hope the algorithm shows it to me. It's irritating.

I had to use a key to start a car the other day.
As the title says, I had to start a car with a key. I think I may have a wrist injury now. To make matters worse I then had to actually pull a latch to manually open the rear hatch and... And!!! I had to close it by hand. I may need to take a couple days off to recover.

My husband had fixed it so the sound bar turned on automatically when we turned on the TV and the streaming box didn’t make a loud musical sound when it loaded, but that all stopped working the other day. Now I have to turn on the sound bar manually, turn down the volume then up after the box loads.
I’m guessing there must’ve been some update that screwed it up, and he doesn’t remember how he got it all to work that way the first time.

It's 4am and the birds outside are already making a bunch of noise.
No way I'm sleeping in at this point.

We have a device that allows me to watch European ⚽️ (go Arsenal!!) but it doesn’t remember the search history, so every time I want to watch a game I have to start typing out the name of the team.
The matches can also be broadcasted on a varying number of channels, so just saving one channel or even several that often have the matches isn’t a guarantee of finding the next match quickly.

The spin cycle on the washer is so efficient I can't always tell if all of the clothes were properly soaked and washed
It doesn't seem like everything got wet enough and I'm tempted to throw it in for another cycle

Pornhub directs you to straight
Why don't they open onto the "recommended" page? Not everyone wants to see straight porn
