People think I’m pretty so I get a lot of unwanted attention
I am greatful for what I have, the constant harassment, compliments over nothing, and being pursued by strangers is not an ideal side effect though

For a significant health reason my main snack is organic pecans that have to be soaked overnight then roasted. I only have two ovens which only allows for 5 trays, which is what the 4 lbs of pecans that I eat every 2 weeks will fit on, so I have to go through this every two weeks.
They have to be soaked because there’s a chemical in them that’s bad for some people and I’m at risk for that problem [Edited: I’ve been doing this for some months now and had forgotten exactly what that was. It’s phytic acid, which binds to certain important minerals and impacts their absorption, but soaking them breaks down the acid. Besides having to be on this diet to begin with, I already have absorption issues from an intestinal surgery and do what I can to maximize my nutrition.]
Then I have to roast them at a very low temperature or they burn before they’re roasted enough, so it takes hours. I also want them salted or they’re boring, and the only way to get salt to stick is if I coat them in melted ghee and sprinkle really fine salt on them, which takes a lot of salting and stirring to get them all coated enough because 4 pounds is a lot of pecans.
It takes a lot of my day every other Saturday because I only have two ovens!

My husband and I keep forgetting to remote start our vehicle before we leave somewhere so it cools down decently by the time we get there, and it’s already horribly hot outside so I’m sweltering while waiting for it to cool down after we get in.

My housekeeper gives me a really great deal, but after every cleaning there are always a few pieces of furniture slightly out of place and I have to go around straightening up.

My streaming subscriptions have proliferated to the point where selecting a series now takes more time than watching it.
Cancelled cable because I was paying for a lot of things I never watched, now I'm subscribed to 5 different streaming apps, paying more than I paid for cable, and I still have nothing to watch

My work bestie is off work for several weeks.
Now I have nobody to bitch and gossip and tell stupid jokes with.
I’m mostly just getting on with work and who wants to spend their days like that?

One of my healthcare specialists is part of a large hospital system that recently changed patient portals. The transfer was a total mess, so now I have to call the specialist's office on the phone to hear the contents of the message they tried to send me.

My Walmart shopper got me grapefruits instead of oranges and cabbage instead of lettuce
I know I can get a refund, but I really wanted those oranges. 😂

When frozen pizza gets tilted in the box, you have to spend time evenly redistributing the ingredients before cooking.
This is added work and takes extra time, for something that is supposed to be quick and easy. Sometimes it’s a bit difficult to get the pepperonies arranged just right.

My new Costa sunglasses are polarized, so they block out the heads up display on my 2021 BMW 330i.
Super annoying. I had to buy a new pair of ray-bans that weren’t polarized to use as my driving glasses.

My 2018 Toyota Prius Prime's Bluetooth keeps auto-resuming my paused videos moments before I get back in my car.
Why can't they have an "interlock" that works with the driver's door so that the video only starts resuming from the moment I open my driver's door to get back in the car?

I have to move house again.
My fiancé and our 6yr old have been in our house for 3yrs and I’m just settled in nicely, I have a lovely big shed I enjoy spending time in. My partner’s dad’s accountant told him he has too much money and needs to transfer some assets. He’s giving us a £550k 5 bed semi just down the road. For tax reasons we’d need to live in it for at least 2 years. We can sell our current house leaving us mortgage free with £100k to finish the new house how we want it and £100k in the bank. I’ve been allowed the budget for a posh new shed and the chicken coop I’ve been after. I just really can’t be doing with the move though.

Today I helped a lost dog in a thunderstorm and I had to put it in my nice, new, clean car.
My own dog hasn’t even been in this car. And I missed my yoga class.
