annoying

It's stupid that almost everyone has to do something they don't particularly like most days so that they can afford to eat and live somewhere. At the same time, that's part of the deal of being alive. At least we have work memes to put some catharsis in our lives and give ourselves a chance to agree that waking up, commuting, and dealing with customers is a dumb bummer. Here's a thread about frustrating, entitled customers.

Most people have a certain disdain for things that are imperfect, unaligned, untidy, or made in such a way that they bring only confusion. For some it's a "so what it's not perfect" situation and for others it can be hair-pullingly maddening.  Here are some annoying and off-center imperfections to keep the disdain train slightly off its tracks.

There is no end to the ridiculous requests of entitled people with their demanding boldness. There are folks out there who will think it's right to ask that someone live in their home, work for them and do all of their house tasks for a hundred bucks a month. There are people who will complain that their neighbors aren't jumping at the opportunity to mow their parents lawn. It's kind of impressive.

Having a noisy neighbor who keeps you from sleeping can feel like literal torture. After it kept getting worse, this dude took matters, and aux cords, into his own hands. Here's a similar story of a guy who got cunning revenge on his noisy neighbors.

Sure, if the hill you're willing to die on costs four cents out of the charity bin, go ahead and die on that hill. Customers sometimes make demands with stupid implications, like this customer who wanted a pound of chicken wings and got less wings or this guy who demanded to ride in a go kart with no engine.

Almost everyone understands that you should be respectful in someone else's home, or at least that you shouldn't drink all their good beer and clog all of their toilets. There are however an uninvited few houseguests who do rude and annoying things. People have a hard time forgetting slights like this, which lead to some petty injustices that people stay salty about.

When it comes to selling an item, selling some art, or finding a gig, it can be a minefield of entitled people with unrealistic expectations and insane demands. You could get someone who wants you to pay them to take your iPhone, a mom who wants to pay 3 dollars an hour for babysitting, or have someone blow up for not getting a free pin. The flow of entitled people and their foolish demands never seems to stop.

It makes sense that some things are difficult. Like, becoming a doctor or a navy seal are things that are about as difficult as they should be. But why is it so hard to install a printer? It's just a printer! Some of these seem like small problems but we all know that there's extremely petty stuff that people get very passionate about.

If only they had thought to build that chandelier, ceiling fan, window, door or pipe just a little more to the left. If only someone had laid that tile with just a little more care. It doesn't feel good knowing that these images will exist, just mocking the gods of straight, flush, on-target crispness. All you can do is try to counteract them with images of things fitting perfectly.

Bureaucracy can be a mind-numbing puzzle of forms to fill out and cranky people to deal with. Sometimes you get a real treasure of a human being who absolutely hates what they do, and dealing with them is pulling teeth. Here's one of those times. For another school themed story, here's Karen and Karen Jr getting outed for trying to cheat the school system.

In some neighborhoods, a Homeowner's Association is no big deal. For others, it's a tyrannical government filled with bored, horrible retired jerks who get a single taste of power and decide to use it to destroy their neighbor's lives. For example, here's a story of Queen Karen of the HOA being defeated.

If someone is just giving something away for free, it's probably in your best interest to make your receiving of that item as convenient for them as possible. In this case, this person thought she could have free stuff delivered to her, an occurrence that is all too common with entitled folks and their frustrating demands.

From this hiring manager's perspective, it seems like a good reason to discount an applicant if their mom keeps answering the interview questions. For another tale of an overreaching parent, here's a parent who hired a private investigator to check out their nanny. On the other side of things, here's an applicant who got to call out a company's horrible interview process.

Every industry has its sketchy secrets, and once tons of companies realized they could use their popular brand to leverage their loyal customer base into paying more for less, you can find yourself looking at a creme egg going "whhaaaaa???". It's also easy to fall into the nostalgia trap of "remember the better olden days" when that product wasn't much better to start with, but shrinkflation has definitely attacked a variety of products and things from all sides.

Say you're watching a dumb youtube video of a guy throwing a watermelon off of his roof. The comment section is all "lols" and "who's watching this in 2020s" when it happens. Right out of the blue some rando who lives in his mom's basement taps out an essay on why everyone is stupid and anyone who doesn't listen to Chopin while pretending to do quantum physics is a sheep. Now he's downvoting your okay melon puns that he doesn't have the attention to understand. All you can really do is wonder what makes this ridiculous person think they're a genius.

Sorry everyone. "The Game" is something many of us played and only succeeded in losing, and now it's time to once again take up that heavy mantle of failure. When one Tumblr user asked what the hell all this game losing was about, another was compelled to explain the burden so many of us live with the this day. For more Tumblr, here are various Tumblr gems to keep the day moving.
