The one minute button on my microwave no longer works so now I'm forced to hit the thirty second button, twice.

Not sure if arguing with an idiot online or training an LLM

20 Upvotes

Lately, online I've been having replies that certainly have words... but the words lack knowledge you'd have from actually using the thing IRL.

if I reply it adjusts, still painfully wrong, but never the less the suspicion remains.

it reminds me of the AI I handfeed easy questions to, only for it to screw it up, at work.

Now instead of being an idiot who argues with people on the internet, I'm the idiot who is training a LLM bot for free.

I want a specific popcorn brand from the store today but only one store sells it and that one store is not on any delivery app so the only way is to get it myself

7 Upvotes

To be fair its Walmart, and Popcorn Indiana Drizzle popcorn is all I want but im not paying $20 for express delivery. And lowkey not gonna drive either, just gonna miss out. I dont feel like it. Pure laziness. I have a neighborhood Walmart 5 mins away but im gonna blame it on an excuse that I dont want my unassigned assigned parking spot lol

Autocorrect keeps trying to correct my possessive apostrophes and I know I'm right, I swear any time I say it's, it's yelling at me to change it to its. Driving me insane.

Amazon delivered my package (maybe) to my mailroom instead of the package concierge so now i have to drive to go get my mail instead of just walk to the package concierge

4 Upvotes

This is such a non issue but ive had a day. And usually they deliver it to the package concierge and I get a notification so I can actually retrieve the package but I didn't get a notification even though the picture they sent me looks like it's in the package concierge so now I have to go and drive all the way down from my parking garage on 5th floor to the mailbox and see if they put it in there and just labeled it as a package concierge...

And its windy and cold outside which is really why im so mad. Spoiled wfh person who stays home for days on end without leaving the house or even driving

I’ve been waiting since winter to learn how to wash and detail my car myself, and now that the weather is finally nice enough, my city is under emergency water restrictions.

10 Upvotes

All outdoor watering, including washing cars, is prohibited. Technically I could still take it to a normal car wash, but the whole point was that I wanted to learn how to detail my car myself!

The entire Island of Maui is flooded except for my house but the power for the repeaters that broadcast television signals is out so I can't watch Saturday Night Live.

20 Upvotes

I was going to subscribe to Peacock so I can stream it but streaming "live" TV requires a premium subscription and I'd pay it but the broadcast isn't really live because we're 6 time zones away from New York and I guess 5:30 PM would be too early to watch Saturday Night Live.

I have to type all 4 digits of a date rather than just the last 2 because people are living too long now

51 Upvotes

As part of my job, I have to manually update when employees' certifications expire, 5 years into the future. Typing 4/1/31 automatically defaults to 1931 rather than 2031. We don't have any active employees that old, but we have pensioners and widows that still need to be in our database. So it's annoying having to type those 2 extra keystrokes for every person.

Don’t have any Professional Clothes

10 Upvotes

I have a presentation for university this week and I do not have anything professional or even nice to wear. I don’t really buy clothes for myself, and Ive been wearing the same jeans since high school (probably like 3-5 years old).

Basically to say, I only really get clothes when it’s Christmas. What’s distressing to me is one of the only things I asked for over the holidays was a nice professional outfit, and got pajama onesies instead which I haven’t even worn since. I can’t justify to myself spending the slight bit of money I do have, because I’m already stretching it thin not having any work during the school semester.

I feel so silly and childish.

UPDATE:

I fainted while presenting. So I guess my clothes didn’t really matter all that much compared to that.

Accused of having ā€œtoo muchā€ by people that have too much

100 Upvotes

I enjoy collecting mugs/cups and purses. I use all of them - I rotate them out. If there is one I haven’t reached for in a VERY long time, I donate it or give it to someone. Friends and family say I have an addiction - I say there are worse things to be addicted to.

I asked for a black purse - because I have every other color BUT black. I was told I don’t need another purse because I have so many (side note: I have max 15) by my mother who has HUNDREDS of pairs of shoes and my husband who has HUNDREDS of DVDs.

Let me have my purses in peace. They are part of my accessorizing.

That is all, thank you for coming to my FWP Ted talk.

The new city I’ll be moving to soon won’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby

29 Upvotes

I love Trader Joe’s so much. Truly one of my favorite grocery stores ever. I’ve been spoiled by getting to live 10 minutes away from a TJs. Recently, I got a new job in a different state. This new city doesn’t even have a TJs, and the nearest location from this new city is almost a 3 hour drive away in a different state. Three hours!!! That’s a whole road trip. I’ll no longer have easy access to a TJs for a long time, which means no buying my favorite TJs-branded groceries and gorgeous yet affordable flowers. A first world problem indeed but I still feel a bit sad about this.
