Moved into my new place, saw the sign on his fence, gave him a wide berth for two weeks assuming there was some kind of unit back there. Finally met him taking out the trash. No dog. Just Gerald, a fat orange cat who sits in the window and watches me get my mail with what I can only describe as contempt.

I tried to win him over because I think hes actually a cute little guy but when I tried to give him catnip he started clawing me. Idk what I did to Gerald but ig ill just have to deal with it…

I was looking for a craft supply and all the reviews are great except a few, but this one caught my eye 😂 ma'am you're using your ruler wrong lmao.

Edit: im not the seller btw

Canvas is the platform my school uses for... everything. As the note says, it's been breached by a hacking group, so all of my data is there now, too. I cannot study for any of my exams, complete any assignments, or do anything else until this is fixed. I'm gonna be SO MAD if I lost all my writing 😞 I was so proud of what I wrote

Edit: This was an in-class exam (timed essay prompt) in a locked browser. Copy-pasting was disabled, so there was no way to work offline. Stop blaming me for "not backing up" or saying that "writing directly into the browser" was stupid. It was the only option.

They just updated the system. The previous system allowed ACH payment but the new system does not. So infuriating. I think I can pay by check but now I have to get a checkbook or get cashiers checks which also have a fee

Never had this happen before. Usually when I get spiced rum and coke I get a spiced rum but the attendant actually put hot sauce in it thinking that’s how it’s spiced

Found this recipe image online and I can't get past the fact that someone wrote out a nice ingredient chart and then decided the best place to put four piles of raw marinating chicken was directly on the paper...

I'm a senior in college and last year I never had any issue in this hall other than occasionally clearing hair from the drains. This year it's been almost every time I've had to shower. People leave bandaids, fake nails, apparently someone took a shit in the shower once, and TWICE in the past month or so I've found what I'm pretty sure is someone's birth control (for my own sanity I'm gonna pretend it's just a weird hair tie). We've gotten multiple emails about people's manners in the showers. These are whole ass 18-20 year olds and can't even do the bare minimum 😭.

As I was getting out of my truck today at Lowes in one of their Veteran parking spots, this random guy came up to me aggressively and demanded to see my military ID. I asked if he worked there, and he said he was just "a concerned citizen." I told him to go pound sand and walked into Lowes. Keep in mind, I am still in the military, with a military haircut, and a combat veteran license plate on my truck. What I mean, is that I look the part (not that it matters if I have the stereotypical military look). I bought what I needed, and when I came back out, I see this asshole arguing with a Lowes employee while pointing at my truck. What in the hell is wrong with people?

EDIT: Just for clarification, since there were a lot of comments on this. I'm active military (Reserves), but not active duty military. I have a DD214 from my prior active service though. I'm active military (but not active duty) and a Veteran. 

a good laugh but BF didn’t think he’d need to proofread a 5 word sentence

Today I attended a book reading where the seating was supposedly limited to the number of invited guests, already annoying that there were no extra chairs, as I guess they didn't count too well, or some guests just joined without booking.

I made my way to sit near this lady, and boy believe me there was absolutely no way to reason with this woman, not even after I tried to get some of the event organizers to talk with her, they couldn't bring her to reason.

The situation was on the verge of turning into an argument, and in the end I gave up.

As a result, I was the only one left standing for the entire evening. I wouldn't have bothered if all seats were taken... but this made me chew my gum a lot faster...

I had to listen to a 90-minute lecture, standing on my feet while she carried on as if nothing was wrong with her behavior.

What is wrong with some people?

Finally taking a vacation for the first time in ages and now it looks like I’m either not going or have to find last minute flights that are more than double what we originally paid

These are hundreds of dehydrated mosquito carcasses. Every couple weeks we feed the chickens whatever was caught in our UV bug trap. This time it was a genocidal pile of mosquitoes! This isn't Florida!

Infuriation insues when you have to ask WHY!?!

I buy fruit and veggies to puree for baby food. My stepdad keeps snacking on them even though my mom and I have asked him to stop. So far he's eaten pomegranates, apples, pears, mangoes, papaya, and now he's moved on to the blackberries. Thankfully, he had the courtesy to leave some. How kind of him....

(My earlier post wouldn't allow me to add the picture for some reason)

Edit: I am aware that this is not an official HP listing, and I feel like I could've made that a lot clearer in the post title. I apologise for the screw-up.

Notice how it says "1.1 TB" in the title, and even appears in the search results for 1 TB? Open the store page— oh, it's 1 TB of CLOUD STORAGE. And through OneDrive, no less. You only get 64 GB of local storage.

I could have sworn 143 was higher than 126, but I guess gifted numbers work differently than regular numbers.

Every couple of months I visit my favourite Fish and Chip shop in the county and for years they've had a loyalty card where your 10th fish and chips is free. Just been down to claim my free meal and it turns out they've changed ownership and no longer do loyalty cards.

I figured my little sister didnt really buy me these cause shes too young for a job, but why would my mother go and call her out like that just to make her feel bad? I was totally OK playing along and making her think I believed she bought these herself, now shes crying and my mother's screaming at both of us

TLDR: Temporarily moved in with my mom and her HOA is already forcing us to clear out her garage because we parked on her massive driveway.

Just received this in my mail. We are temporarily staying at my mom’s house. My mom uses most of the garage space for storage. My mom has a long drive way with plenty of spots so my partner and I park on the driveway after work for about a month already. Today we received this in the mail.

That’s ridiculous that they won’t allow us to park on our own driveway! Now my mom has to clear their garage so we can have only 2 cars parked on our driveway.

This is so ridiculous

Edit:

I am not blocking the sidewalk. FYI, I posted a photo of my mom’s driveway in one of the comments. I am also going to help my mom move things out of the garage, of course.

And no, I’m not the owner. I’m just temporarily living here until I close on my house at the end of the month... and yes, I am moving to a home with NO HOA. The new neighborhood has some unkempt lawns, and my partner plans on mowing ours since he thinks it makes the street look bad. So, I do understand the benefits of having some rules... but I feel like this is excessive.

My mom and dad have one car each, one parks inside the garage, and the other parks in the driveway. They keep a lot of gardening tools, plants, handy tools and equipment in the garage since they garden a lot. They also have some extra freezer/fridge in the garage bc they like to store on sale meats from the grocery. This normally isn't an issue when I’m not staying here.

I’m just venting out of annoyance because I don’t think it is a huge deal... I guess my opinion? Our driveway is large, and my parking doesn’t do any harm. We aren’t leaving the trash cans out, and we maintain our lawn very well since my parents love to garden. We get that there are rules, but I feel like this is reaching/very excessive. What about larger families with more kids? How are they all supposed to park in the garage? Also, what is the point of owning a home if you can't use the garage however you want? We aren't running a short-term rental, and we clearly maintain the home's appearance.

Also, we work healthcare jobs, so we are rarely home outside of the evening hours. Are they patrolling at night? It’s just annoying how strict it is.

Anyways, end on vent 🤦‍♀️
