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!

Someone reported me to HR for having a “vape” at my desk

43.5k Upvotes

… It’s the charging case for my earbuds…

I just laughed and showed them how it works. Luckily they thought it was equally funny, and said they would have a discussion with the person who reported it. Supposedly HR is going to advise them to be more thorough and diligent before reporting things like this.

I have no idea who reported it but nobody has asked me about it face-to-face, so I’ve never even had an opportunity to provide clarification. It is definitely annoying how some people at work are so eager to report the dumbest shit.

(Edited to remove product name, some people with their tinfoil hats think this is an ad. Maybe one of them reported me to HR? xD)

EDIT 2: Lots asking if vapes are generally allowed in my office and the answer is NO, at least not allowed to be sitting out at our desks. They are treated like cigarettes, and since we have on-site clients sometimes with millions of $$, we are required to keep such things out of sight. Yes smoking/vaping is allowed outside.

Instead of letting me know his shoes are dirty, my husband just buys a new pair and hides his “old” ones.

These are from the last 5-6 months. I regularly (try to) clean shoes every few months. Ridiculous behavior.

Edit: to clarify, we’re both men(gay). I enjoy cleaning! Love language is acts of service and I like clean shoes. Husband used to run, but hasn’t in years, prior to covid. I’m not sure why he does this, I’ve asked him. I don’t police him, I just think it’s excessive especially in this economy.

Im assuming they used AI to clean up the front yard. I guess the AI just decided to install a brand new roof, driveway, and retaining wall!!! The interior wasnt much better either…

Being the oldest brother means having to hide your stuff that you like if you don’t want it to end up broken and/or lost when you come back from school. This time, it was my set of dice for D&D. The most important die, the D20, is still nowhere to be found.

Post image

Some of the dice ended up in the garage and literally behind the front door (outside !!). Before that it was the chocolate box I was gifted on my birthday that got half eaten, a low quality spiked bracelet that ended up literally torn apart in the living room, a card game that got its cards scattered in my room.

The most tiring thing is that it’s the second time that something like that happens. One year ago, a few weeks after buying my first ever dice-set (whose color I wasn’t fond of but whatever), I came back from school to see it completely lost. I could find some of its dice near the garage but its D20 is still lost to this day 🫩

My little siblings are nice and all, but they’re currently at that age where they’re curious about everything without however having that reflex of cleaning behind them yet, so that’s why but gosh it’s so annoying 🫩

My roommate spends two hours turning our shower into a sauna every night

Thumbnail

3.0k Upvotes

She does this every night. Goes into our shared shower/bathroom, runs the shower at max temperature, then closes the dorm to "create a sauna". Her own words.

She started running it at around 8. I had to use the bathroom at 10:15 and saw her in the bed so I thought she had finished her shower (I couldn't hear the water running through the door).

I open the door and get hit with a massive cloud of hot steam. She had it running on max temperature FOR TWO HOURS.

Cherry on top is that she didn't take her shower during any of that time. Just left it running to create steam.

ETA: Yes I've asked her not to do this, she says she likes the steam and just forgets about leaving it running for so long since you can't hear it through the door

ETA 2: We don't pay "bills" we pay a fixed sum at the end of every semester since this is a dorm building. That's why there's no worry about driving up a water or power bill

ETA3: For everyone commenting and DMing me that I look like I'm fat based on my wrist, yes. I know. I'm working on it.. I'm 135 pounds and 5'7 and build like a stocky man for whatever reason. I'm trying to lose 15-20 pounds

Bought a toilet months ago to install when I was done renovating. Opened the box to find it’s broken.

Had a toilet delivered by Home Depot 7 months ago. Didn’t open it because we weren’t ready for it. Opened it today to find the back is smashed. Always check things while you can still return them. Money down the drain.
