You ever buy one of those muffins that just disintegrates the second you take the wrapper off? And then all you're left with is this spongey puck of disappointment.

And now what are your options? You either gotta eat it upside down like some kind of sicko, or you’re supposed to go home and toast it? What am I, Gordon Ramsay now? I didn’t buy a muffin so I could start doing culinary rescue operations.

The internet’s gone to shit because everyone’s too busy trying to redpiill each other like it’s some kind of conversational Pokémon battle.

I’m not hard to figure out; I say what I mean, no decoder ring required. But apparently, truth is out and pirouetting is in. You’ve got groypers screaming “genocide” while literally posting /pol/ memes and lefties trying to rebrand free healthcare as “FreedomCare.” (Huey Long’s spinning in his grave so fast he’s generating his own wind power.)

You know this is one that saddens me the most, not even anger but just sadness. Everyones trying to sell their own rhetoric to enlighten one another, and they end up gaining nothing or learning nothing from it. Sure debates or arguments happen but it never felt like the other party was pouring their heart and soul into trying to prove you wrong down to grammatical mistakes.
 
Working with that one co-worker who looks down on you because you refuse to take your hash-slinging "just here for the paycheck" part time job as seriously as they do. What's worse is when they keep reminding you how to do your job, thinking that you'll screw it up, and then assign you a simple moron task that they think you can handle. I want to tell my co-worker that I'm not retarded. I just don't want to expend any more of my precious energy doing this job than I have to. But I don't want to get fired, so I just stay quiet and seethe.
 
People that don't use their turn signal period. God forbid you suffer the herculean effort of extending a finger and flicking your wrist slightly upward or downward so your fellow drivers actually know what you intend to do, you worthless motherfucker.
Triple fuck you to the people that do it when leaving a roundabout, thanks for wasting a perfectly valid opening I could've had.

Yeah I know this is some of the most milquetoast shit you could possibly complain about, but I just got home from an extended drive and I'm pissed about traffic again. Just having to participate in it probably shaved a few years off my life by now.

I have a disgusting fat retard co-worker who loves working insane hours because he thinks management will "notice". One time he was complaining at me for not working more - "Why don't you like overtime? It's more money!"
I asked him how much overtime I would need to work to make enough money to quit.
He went back to his second bag of powdered donuts.
 
Modern vending machines are garbage. Won’t take an old bill. Won’t take a slightly crumpled bill. Won’t take a bill that once thought about being crumpled. The robot arm breaks if you look at it wrong. Coins? Vanish into the void with zero indication the slot’s jammed, so naturally everyone just keeps feeding it like it’s a slot machine. And forget trying to shake your soda loose—these things are reinforced like bank vaults. You’ll get nothing.

Actually, it isn't. Improperly using a turn signal, or not at all, is dangerous for the cars around you. How would they know what you're trying to do? Speaking of driving, parallel parking is tricky as hell.

Oh boy. Another day of work, another day where coworkers treat me like I'm odd because I don't go on TikTok. Why couldn't that app just get banned already?

Only somewhat related, but this reminds me of my last job where my coworkers thought I was weird because I didn't like the idea of going skydiving.

Oh yes, the notion of jumping out of a Boeing plane with today's DEI hires as pilots and Chinese bug half wits making my lowest quality parachute sounds like the safest thing to do next to performing fellatio on a sig p320 while jumping on a trampoline.
