All Rants

Got passed over for a promotion again. The person who got it started six months after me. Feeling so defeated.

Canceled plans are the new normal. People flake constantly and it's just accepted. Whatever happened to keeping your word?

Loud phone conversations in public spaces. Nobody wants to hear about your relationship drama on the bus.

Why do I always remember random facts from 10 years ago but forget what I walked into the kitchen for?

Long distance is harder than I thought. Missing them hurts, and the uncertainty of when we'll see each other again is crushing.

God damn ideas coming from cross-functional teams make no f'ng sense! No basis, no study on what's feasible, just do it as a good corporate slave you are!

People who say 'I could care less' when they mean 'I couldn't care less.' If you COULD care less, that means you DO care! The phrase literally means the opposite of what you're trying to say! This drives me absolutely insane. Learn basic grammar!

My anxiety is through the roof today and I can't pinpoint why. Sometimes it just hits me like a wave and I have to ride it out.

Why do I always forget something at the store? I make a list, I check it twice, and still I'm back there the next day for the one thing I missed.

I ordered groceries online and they delivered someone else's order. Now I have 5 pounds of ground beef I don't eat, three bags of chips I didn't order, and I'm missing half my actual groceries. Customer service says it'll be 3-5 business days to fix. I'm hungry NOW!

Feeling like I'm the only one putting effort into this friendship. Always me reaching out, making plans, checking in.

People who don't use turn signals. It's a button. Just press it. It's not that hard.

I've been in the same meeting for 2 hours and we've accomplished absolutely nothing. We've discussed the same three points in circles, someone keeps going on tangents about their weekend, and the person who called the meeting hasn't even shown up yet. This is why I hate corporate culture. Just make a decision already!

My partner never remembers the little things I tell them. It makes me feel like they don't really care about what I say.

Family gathering where everyone asks the same invasive questions: 'When are you getting married?' 'Why don't you have kids yet?' 'Are you still doing that job?' Yes, I'm still single, childless, and working the same job. My life choices are not up for debate at Thanksgiving dinner. Can we just eat in peace?

The job market is brutal. Sent out 50 applications, got 2 interviews, zero offers. Starting to question everything.

Why do automatic doors wait until you're 2 feet away to open? I'm walking at a normal pace, not sprinting, but the door acts like it's surprised to see me. Then it closes right as I'm walking through. It's 2024, can we get doors that actually work properly?

My manager takes credit for all my ideas but blames me when something goes wrong. The hypocrisy is exhausting.

I've been on hold with customer service for 45 minutes listening to the same terrible hold music on loop. Every 30 seconds a robot tells me 'Your call is important to us.' If it was important, you'd answer the phone! I just want to cancel a subscription, why is this so difficult?

Working from home sounds great until you realize you're working 12-hour days because there's no boundary between work and life anymore.
