Things that are currently annoying you

My phone screen is not responding and it's what I use as an alarm clock, and I have to be up at a certain time tomorrow.

 

Seriously want to murder whomever thought "you know what Oregon needs? A school quarter system consisting of only ten weeks per term and three days for finals! Oh, Introduction to Chemistry has over 50% failure rate? Sucks to be them!"

CHEM 150 was so not meant to be jammed into ten weeks. The only upside is that I have a solid C+ so far.

 

My terms are also 10 weeks each and I agree that chemistry 250 needs more time than that

How's that toxic masculinity + homophobia 2x combo working out for you man

I was annoyed but typing this out just made me feel sad.

 

Spoiler: periods

My reusable pad slipped around in my undies and the changeable cloth insert disappeared while I was out today. I think it fell out my trouser leg. Some poor cleaner in the city is going to run across a bloody square of cotton lying around. God, I hope they think it's a bandage.

 

Dear Europe: we are not American, we do NOT celebrate thanksgiving. Why the hell do we have black fucking Friday sales?!

 

capitalism

As both an answer to the above and a thing that annoys me.

 

My car won't start.

I had plans for tomorrow and they have all been cancelled in favor of Project Make Car Go.

 

That happened to me twice this week, you have my sympathy.

 

I can't believe I had to look at this with my own two eyes. I'm just going to delete every email my father sends me from now on.

 

There's a guy using the public toilet with the door wide open, so I can hear him.



He did not wash his hands, or at least did not use the faucet to do so.

 

i got some dust or fuzz or something in my eye and it is not coming out :|

 

I remembered that in English niche rhymes with itch and not microfiche, and it pains my soul with how incorrect it sounds.

 

the fuck? whereabouts are you? i hear it as [niʃ] (neesh) about 98% of the time, and as [nɪtʃ] (nitch) only, well, the other 2% ... *is very puzzled*

 

@Kaylotta Well, that's what I get for thinking "American English" *and only typing English. I keep running into it in audio books and the like.

I'd like to add the apparent disconnect between my thoughts and my typing to the list if things that annoy me (but not as much as /nɪtʃ/)

*at least I assume it's American based off the recording companies

 

@budgie lol - been there, stuck that foot in my mouth, no worries. i'm just always super curious about where variations in language happen and why :D

 

I am American and only ever pronounce it "neesh" - if I heard "nitch" I would have to take a second and figure out what word they meant from context. Weird.

 

I tried to light a candle; the match broke in half and burned a big hole in one of my favourite scarves :(

 

meanwhile, I have only ever read the word 'microfiche' and apparently convinced myself somewhere along the way that it was pronounced 'microfish'. TIL... :P
