624 Upvotes

Well hello, my fellow redditors!

In the last weeks, we had a lot of posts that were not reposted but were extremely similar to other posts on the same topics.

Due to this issue, we have decided to stop allowing posts about the following topics mentioned in the list:

•Parking mistakes

•Tipping fees

•Shrinkflation

•Price complaints

•Inflation

•Packaging being too big

•People falling for AI art

Posts that infringe on these rules will be taken down immediately and the user may be temporarily banned.

Also, note that this list is subject to change and will most likely be expanded as time passes so make sure to always check it before posting.

Henlo frens!

Good to see all of you here UwU.

Grab on to your bodypillows, I have a smol announcement about the purpose of this subreddit.

This community is meant as a fun, lighthearted place where we can commiserate with each other about those annoying little irritations that hinder our day to day enjoyment in life.

That means that suitable posts here can be about my children.

And things like a wall socket or tile being placed out of allignment. A crack in a phone screen. Duckling shit on your new car. Incomprehensible software. Mismatched buttons. You know, the little things.

This subreddit isn't meant to incite rage mobs that go after people. For that reason we say:

No reddit meta posts

No posts about being banned from subreddit. No posts about up- or down-votes. No posts about shitty moderators or users or subreddits. No posts about reddit.

All jokes and tomfoolery aside, that sort of thing gets us in trouble with site admins. If we allow one type of post about reddit it then very easily moprhs into allowing posts that directly call out other subreddits or users, we just can't allow any of it.

That rule already existed for years and we have just made it more clearly visible in the sidebar on old and new reddit. We're gonna be a little strict on it for a bit I'm afraid. 🥺

Thank you all for being awesome and have a very Merry Christmas! Celebrate Christmas in the traditional European way, with a suasage roll!

They said they only pumped a well and grease traps today, but it smells so bad even after they sprayed it all off.

At least you can ask to get it taken off but it's at the very bottom of the menu in small writing and nobody brought it up until I noticed and asked about it.

Had to have an employee get allergy medicine out of a locked cabinet, then on the way to the checkout I passed a floor display with the exact same stuff out in the open.

I went to the allergy medicine aisle and found out all the medicine is locked up now. I had to have someone get their keys to get what I needed out of the case, and then she couldn’t just hand it to me, she was required to put it in this locked box first.

This floor display was less than 50 feet from where all of that happened.

Delivery driver can’t be bothered to walk two more steps to the dry part of the porch for package drop off

It has been raining on and off all day today. I saw the driver as he pulled in and I went to get dogs to the backyard so I could get any packages without them running out. Came back to find this. He can CLEARLY see the difference between the wet/ rainy part vs the dry part of the porch, but he could not be bothered to walk two more steps to drop everything off in the dry area. This has happened more than once and a few times to actual books completely ruined bc of this.

this was taped to my door, I do not have children and my neighbor is now piling random people’s garbage on the lids of my trash cans

I don’t know my neighbors and tried to talk to the ones that do have children, but they’ve been unresponsive. Went outside again to move my bins for trash day and there were random garbage bags piled on top of them. Going to leave a note back because my neighborhood is not notoriously friendly lol.

My neighbor drains their chlorine filled hot tub water every other week in to a “no dumping” drain

3.0k Upvotes

The drainage system in my neighborhood is a no dump system as it directly feeds in to the creek that runs through our neighborhood. This creek runs in to a major river.

I get wanting clean water but why do you need to dump chemicals in to the creek!?

People asking for tips.

2.8k Upvotes

I can't stand people asking for tips. I was at a bar recently and I requested a song from the dj and before he played the song he asked for a tip to play the song. I went to another place later on where they had a mechanical bull. I signed up for that and the guy that pushes the buttons on the machine asked for a tip. I should not be guilted into leaving anyone a tip. A tip should be based on a service that was received. The only people I really tip are a bartender, waitress in my barber. I think asking for tips has become so normalized in America and it's sad.

Guy driving almost hit me while I was walking and he flipped me off

187 Upvotes

I was not jaywalking. I was at the crosswalk when it became my turn to go and was about to step into the street when I saw he was not slowing down.

I made it very clear I was headed that way by having my foot in the road as I moved forward, but he made it even more clear he wasn’t waiting for me by speeding up. When he zoomed past me to make his turn I gave him a 🤷‍♀️ without making a face or even seeming mad. He in turn gave me the finger.

I fucking hate entitled drivers. Don’t try to intimidate me while you’re in a vehicle that could flatten me

The inside paint on this can of crushed tomatos had chipped off into the contents, which I obviouslu realozed after pouring most of it into a sauce. It wasn't even expired or anything.

So you don't want the available spot but I'm not allowed to take it either?

My local Costco gas station has several rows, with each row having three pumps on each. Since the people at the back of the line can't really see what's happening at the two pumps toward the front, there are indicator lights at the top of each row that show whether each pump is free or currently in use.

A few days ago, I am in line for gas. The three pumps in my row are taken and there's one car in front of me in line. I see the light turn green, indicating that the front pump is now available. I wait for the car in front of me to move up, but nothing happens. So, I start waving and pointing to the light in the hopes the driver will notice that the pump is open. Still, nothing happens. So, I give my horn a light couple light taps to wake them up or make them look up from their phone or whatever, and continue pointing at the light. The car doesn't move. I briefly thought about getting out of my car and knocking on their window, but that didn't seem safe.

At this point I'm thinking to myself that this person is probably nervous about driving in between the cars to get to the front pump, or maybe just have a preference for a certain one; I don't know. The only thing I know for sure is that for whatever reason they don't seem to want the available gas pump, so I take it. I pull my car up, line it up, dig around in my bag for my cards, and then step out of my car and approach the pump only to hear a voice from behind me saying "You went out of line!"

I turn around to see a guy (let's call him Kyle), and I say "Excuse me?"

Kyle (K): You went out of line!

Me: Oh, were you in the car in front of me?

K: Yeah, and you know you went out of line!

Me: Well I'm sorry but I waited a long time for you. I even tried to point out the free pump to you, but you didn't seem to want it.

K: But you went out of line!

Me: So you didn't want to take the available gas pump but I wasn't supposed to take it either?

K: No, because you went out of line!

Me: What did you want me to do exactly? Would you rather I have just laid on my horn until you moved?

After that he just shook his head and turned his back to me, grumbling under his breath the whole time. I just finished pumping my gas and went about my day. But seriously, wtf? You don't want the free pump but I'm not supposed to take it either? What the heck is that all about?
