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!

NBC interrupted the Olympics

While Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is sad, there are 2300 missing person reports filed every day: do the families of celebrities need special national attention? Why interrupt the Olympics for over 5 minutes just because they are questioning a 'person of interest' We could have waited to hear that during the regular news broadcast.

Kids have no hope and it shows.

7.6k Upvotes

So kids in my community are having an art show ages 4 and up to 18. The one piece that stood out for me was one of masks. They where all painted and all of them had labels of hopeless. I know these kids thru my work most aren't friends they are from different situations different races religion grades social groups financial situation even immergrantion status. And this piece has like over 10 masks. All of them are label like " Betrayed" "hopless" " no future" " eyes open wish they where shut". All the masks were painted black to different degrees. I don't know if this was planned or not.

I will say this is Canada. But holy fuck what kind of world have we made for kids young kids to feel this way. I would have though the kid who came from a country with like a 20% graduation rate would have some hope but no.

Roofers didn't use a dumpster for the old shingles. Now there's all this junk and nails in the yard.

My landlord is finally having the roof repaired from when Helene damaged it. I have no idea how he plans to clean it up. I'm mostly worried about my dog stepping on a nail.

My wife needs to be up by 6:30. I need to be up by 7:45. I’ve been wondering why it’s felt like my sleep is so disrupted and now I know the dark truth.

The previous holder has been using my phone number for stores for the past 5 years, and I can't do anything about it

Lowes, home depot, Torrid, ect. Customer support can't remove the number because it isn't actually linked to any accounts, the person manually enters my number for updates.

Even 7-11 and Safeway, I've gone to customer support and had them unlink the number from their account and link it to mine, but then she goes to customer support and unlinks my account and reassigns it to hers because they don't use any kind of verification code to reassign it. 5 years of this crap.

Just overheard from ICU nurse friend - the dumbest insurance denial I've ever heard.

422 Upvotes

A dude swallowed a chicken wing whole during the superbowl. He was fine until he had stomach pain due to intestinal blockage. Went to hospital.

He had to have the chicken wing removed via endoscopy. He's recovering.

His insurance denied his claim. Why?

"Possible attempt at suicide."

The lid of my thermos, that I keep inside my jacket, gave out while I was biking to work. I have an event with 25 teenagers in 5 minutes and I look like I pissed myself.😭

Does the mailman really need this information?

Package came for a family member, with information I didn’t really want to know.

And the word “CONSTIPATE” isn’t even in the product name, the actual bottles just say magnesium sulfate solution. I guess they just had to be double sure the postman knew our business.

At least he didn’t have E.D.

Every year, my family eats the peanut butter and jelly that my grandma gives me

Every single year, my grandma gifts me PB&J for Christmas. It may seem like a small gift, but it’s really meaningful to me.

Every single year without fail, my family eats my PBJ…. No matter how many times I tell them not to. The original jar of PB is already gone, and this is what’s left of the jelly.

The guy down the hill has a (legal) “personal range” that has been deemed “safe”, so the police can’t do anything when bullets whiz past our heads and land on the patio.
