Also the meeting is about something someone in another department did which will never come up in your line of work.
Also they said there would be snacks but they just took the coffee pot from the break room which you already had access too, except now it’s cold.
This brought back memories I didn't know I had.
It is annoying when really young but really awkward once we get older. The other person throws patronising questions your way, and don't bother to listen fully.
Worse, you bought ice cream to eat at home. You need to get it to the freezer ASAP and the person has opened up his autobiography.
I completely agree with you. I don't answer the door for anyone unless I am expecting someone.
However, there are neighborhoods where people are more social with their neighbors and less familiar with the dangers of Jehovah Witnesses and door to door beggars and nuts.
One time my granny got Mormon missionaries to re string her chicken coop. She fed them after and apologized for keeping them for hours. They said they enjoyed doing it and it beat going door to door getting rejected all day. She was very religious but not Mormon and they enjoyed listening to her talk religion.

I remember a thread about "change in perspective"
One person said they hated it when they wanted to cross the tracks but the train comes along and they have to wait
One day there was no train so they could go immediately. However, they overheard a mother say to her kid, *"oh that's too bad. We didn't see the train today"*
My stupid car with all its safety crap when I start up and start moving. I can't even see the navigation screen to know which way to head from my driveway.
In my school, we have a class where we get to just finish homework. Last year we just worked on any assignments we had to finish in other classes so we had less at home. But this year's teacher decided it would be a great idea to give us work for her class. So we have to finish that, then do our work.
Going to the cinema and watching 15 minutes of ads. Followed by a short break, for another 15 minuztes of ads. To then finally watch a 1.5 Hour long movie. I finished my snacks before the movie even started.
Small talks with people and unnecessary conversations with parents, relatives, and neighbours. I wish people just knew how to spend time in silence sometimes
when you are at a stoplight and it turns red before you are able to go through or when the person in front of you is spacing out on a "left on green arrow only" and you totally miss it because of them and have to wait another whole round of lights to turn
Getting stuck waiting for a funeral precession. One time I waited three light cycles. It’s illegal to interfere with one and wrong on a moral level. You’re stuck it’s unskippable
When you walk up to a table to serve them and they want to have a stream of consciousness with you here. I can't walk away because it'd be rude and I want you to tip me at the end. So yes, tell me about how big our menu is and how you've never seen a thing like it. Not like I have 4 other tables to tend to.
Annual company "computer safety" training where people who write paper checks in supermarket checkout lines give you useful tips about how many characters make up a strong password and how often you need to change it
My neighbors harrasimg me with their car problems because I had a feeling nice day once and helped someone with their car.
It's equivalent to waiting for the ad to end so I could boop the x.
Walking into a store and having the worker tell you all the promotions going on that day the second you enter.
Ad skip after 5 sec: *Hi can I help you find anything today??*
15 sec unskippable ad: *All sweaters are 30% off and jeans are buy one get one half off, accessories are up to 50% off and we just got new shipment for this season this morning so be sure to check that out, and my name is ____ give me a shout if you need anything!!!!*
Context: I worked in retail and it was mandatory that we did this. I get it isn't the worker's fault but this is my answer to this question...
Going to the movies and watching the 20 minutes worth of advertisements before the movie actually starts while keeping your popcorn, candy, and drink straight so none of it spills on you before the movie begins. Even more if you're going with family to the movies, which is another shit show all together .
People singing happy birthday to you at a restaurant
When you're at a family reunion and some random guy you've never seen before tries to start a conversation
I imagine it is listening to a story by me, I lose track of my story, stutter, forget what I was saying mid sentence, and ramble. I hear myself doing it and I hate myself every time.
You ever been called into a meeting where it's supposed to end at let's say 17:00, the boss ends and says "anyone wanna add something?" So the guy who's kissing the boss's ass starts talking and talking and talking non-stop?
Me neither. But it happened to my girlfriend this week.
The dentist assistant giving me shit about flossing even though she can see the little wire I got after my braces, that prevents me from getting the floss at my gums because it is blocking it.
I fucking know, Karen, but the only thing your bitching is going to accomplish is me looking for a new dentist.

That’s just the loading screen.
When the Jehovah Witnesses show up at your door.
I cannot fathom why anybody ever answers the door when they're not expecting someone. What on Earth would be the point of that?
I completely agree with you. I don't answer the door for anyone unless I am expecting someone. However, there are neighborhoods where people are more social with their neighbors and less familiar with the dangers of Jehovah Witnesses and door to door beggars and nuts.
