Ice cream flavor names that tell you nothing about what the ice cream tastes like.
Kitty Kitty Bang Bang? Super Human? Cosmic Bloom?
Good one.
Today the weather guesser said it would stop raining around 2PM. About 6 PM we had a huge downpour.
Now, we need the rain her in CA (well, this year is pretty good, we have already got a years worth +), but what if I had planned to do something?
I live near an airport, so the local nighttime highway traffic might have a higher rental car ratio than normal, so it might be an unfamiliarity with the vehicle controls, but:
TURN ON YOUR HEADLIGHTS.
Why haven’t we agreed on a universal signal to let others know they’re a candidate for a rear-endin’?
Some of the boys from my 7th grade class was late coming in from lunch. Small thing, but annoying.
Similarly on a two-lane interstate when a truck going 14 mph below the speed limit is passing a truck going 15 mph below the speed limit.
Last week I picked up our taxes from the accountant. My husband and I both had to sign the form allowing them to efile our taxes. I forgot the paperwork on my desk at work on Thursday (I don’t work Fridays). When I got home, it dawned on my, I was irritated but then thought to myself - no big deal, I’ll bring them home Monday. This morning I went to the post office to get the company mail and luckily overheard the guy behind the counter say something about today being tax day!! Apparently I have not been paying one bit of attention to the calendar. That meant I had to go to my office and pick up the form, go back home and have my husband sign it, go downtown to the accountants’ office and drop it off and then go back to work. UGH
Every time I threw up on Saturday, I also peed myself. Well, that’s…new. 
Defining “today” a bit loosely:
-
The pest control people didn’t show up on Saturday between 1 and 3, when my appointment was scheduled. Turned out they had rescheduled me for Tuesday between 10 and 12 but didn’t bother to tell me.
-
My doctor’s office is not calling me back, and I really need them to.
-
It took three tries this morning for my editor to send me the proper link to the feedback from the client.
Communication sucks.
There’s probably more, but for now that’s quite enough, I think.
Today the packaging of Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles pissed me off. Vegan Friendly? What does that even mean? Are they vegan or not? I’m not vegan but gibberish annoys me.
