I’m currently on a work trip and decided to check out this viral spot famous for those hyper realistic fruit shaped cakes. The shop looked absolutely gorgeous inside! In hindsight, the biggest red flag should have been that the cakes were just sitting out on a decorative turntable instead of being refrigerated especially since the one I ordered had a mousse and brownie filling. Keep in mind I literally paid $16 for this...

I brought it back to my hotel, got settled in, and went in for my first bite. The moment I got close, a puff of mold spores literally popped right into my face. I looked down, saw weird spots, and decided to crack it open. To my absolute horror, it was a full blown biology experiment on the inside. 

I called the owner and left a voicemail. He called me back within five minutes, profusely apologizing and promising it would be handled immediately. But then he threw me off by saying I could have done anything else instead of coming straight to him, which honestly made it feel like this has happened before.

I took my refund, but looking at how deep and widespread the growth is, there is zero chance this accumulated in just a day or two. Definitely debating whether I need to loop in the health department at this point.

edit: The owner was grateful I called him. "I'm glad you called me, you could've gone anywhere with this is and I appreciate you allowing me to fix it. This will be handled appropriately"

Went to an Italian restaurant to get a quick lunch/dinner pizza before checking out of my hotel and going to the airport.

Waitress walks up and asks "can I get you started with something". I reply "just water is fine". She wants to know "sparkling or still or tap". As soon as I hear the first two options I immediately start to answer "still" before processing that there is a third choice. As she walks I say I think to myself that maybe I should've gone with tap, but I figure it's okay, I can pay a few bucks for a small water bottle.

She comes back with a full freshly opened liter (1.06qt) water bottle and pours me a glass. I think to myself "surely not...".

Having drank exactly one glass of water by the time I'm done with my pizza, the check comes out and sure enough, Acqua 8.00.

I ask "you're charging me for the whole bottle?"

"Yes, that's the only size we serve, sorry. But it's okay because, see, you can put the cap back on and take it with you". It's not a plastic cap. It doesn't actually seal.

I'm sure that will work great in my luggage.

Note that every table in this restaurant has a small size bottle on it (probably .3 liters or there about) of this exact same brand, with a flower in it.

Anyway, am I the idiot for not realizing that I was going to get a full bottle? I would've hoped she might say something like "since you're just by yourself, are you sure you want to order a whole liter bottle of water?"

But nope.

Anyway, it's fine, just mildly infuriating to me.

This is probably gonna sound dumb but it still annoyed the crap out of me. So I’m at the grocery store doing some quick shopping. I’m super hangry because it’s nearly 3 PM, I haven’t eaten all day, and I just left the gym. Poor life choices on my part, but I digress. I end up grabbing a rotisserie chicken some greens, and fruit before heading out. As soon as I get to my car, I clean my hands start going to town lol. No shame in my game I was literally starving. Mind you, I also parked hella far from the building because I knew I’d need a few minutes to eat before driving home.

Well two minutes into my late lunch, I get a harsh knock on my window from store security telling me to move along. Ummm, excuse me? I’m sorry, but what the actual fuck? Maybe I’m being overly dramatic here but it irrationally pissed me off. Partially because I’m knuckles deep in a rotisserie chicken, but also because they knocked on my window way too hard, I just spent over 100$ in your damn store and it’s not like I was even taking up a prime spot since I parked in the back. It sounds ridiculous but I genuinely think I’m changing grocery stores because wtf?

Edit: too many comments to respond to.
It’s an f250 diesel used primarily for towing. 10mph is “normal” for it.

I confirmed with my wife’s boyfriend - he promised he did not hit a curb and was respectful when using it.

CEL light was low volts bad batteries. Cold air rolled in and causes the TPMS and CEL. $240 to fill that 40ish gallon diesel tank.

Most kiddos like Roblox, and nephew is no exception. So when he came to me and asked me to help him set up an account, I decided to let him(and play under my supervision since I also happen to have an account). When we reached the face recognition section, it absolutely SUCKED ASS CUS WHAT DO YOU MEAN A BOY WHO IS AT HIS TENDER AGE OF GOD DAMN SIX IS SEVENTEEN. AND THE WORST PART IS I CAN’T REVERT IT TO HIS ACTUAL AGE FOR SOME REASON.

Edit: We decided not to play Roblox again after this shenanigan(which I should have done from the start)

For context, I worked anyways from 2-10. She was supposed to be in from 4-12. She texts me around 3 asking if I can close, I assumed that she meant she just needed to be home earlier and would work 4-10 instead, so I said yes. 4 pm comes, then 4:15 I text her asking if she's still coming in because she's never been this late. She says she's not gonna make it and I can call someone else to come in. SHES the store manager. Not me. I get paid minimum wage.

So I called our GM, explained, and then learned that she didn't tell out GM she was calling out either. Just me. So she's rushing to find one of the three people listed to come in. Its a busy rainy night, at an escape room, on a Friday. We are packed. I was lucky the rush didn't start until around 6, which by then the calvary had already arrived and the night went smoothly. Still irritating though.

I grew them for migrating butterflies. Now they’re probably being sold at a farmers market somewhere. Third pic is from “before the chop”.

Saw this while traveling to buy a pumpkin. At what point do we decide we’ve had enough of both the AI and faux “protect the children” outrage?

Apologies for the photo angle; I was at a stoplight.

Is this normal guys? I recently drove to McDonald’s to pick up 2 double bacon quarter pounders with cheese and some cookies right. I pull up to the next window and the old lady looked at me UPSET.

It was awkward for a few moments looking at her waiting to i don’t know.. pay? and, she said something along the lines of “did you order all that food to yourself?” I was very confused at first. So I had her repeat the question, and she elaborated by saying “like are you going to eat all that food alone?”

I was pretty shocked and told her no, that the other burger is for a friend. She said “oh okay, I just like assigning faces to people who order a lot of food like that” WTH😭 yall I cannot make this up. I was shocked, is this normal for you guys or should I do something? Never experienced that at McDonald’s before. I still have my receipt

Of course hearing aids require proprietary chargers too, so everyone just has to speak up today.

Mortgage comes out today, so I Zelle my half to my spouse like I always do. Same saved contact I’ve sent money to hundreds of times.

They’re at the gym and text that they haven’t received it. I check my bank account and confirm it’s been sent. They reply, “Still nothing.” Great! I start to panic.

So I call my bank and start the dispute process. I’m answering a ton of questions, and they mention potentially needing a police report because the money was already delivered and accepted. At this point, I’m thinking somehow my half of the mortgage went to a stranger, despite selecting the same damn contact as always.

Then my spouse texts: “Oh, it went to my XXXX account.”

Apparently, they have another account linked to an email address I didn’t even know they used for Zelle.
Glad I got to open a potential financial crime investigation before they checked their other account.

JFC.

Ordered them straight from walmart for delivery, they showed up with clearance stickers for more than half off 🤦. Should i contact customer support and try to get the difference refunded, or is that even worth it with walmart?

Who would of thought It even took me a bit more time to write this post bc spell check kept correcting it to “would have.” And yet, so many people still can’t seem to get it right.

Whoever decided that this was a good way to dispense toilet paper deserves to stand on lego barefoot every time they get up.

65% of adults wear glasses- 0% wear them in the shower… unless you are showering at a Courtyard.

I’m looking for an apartment and thought I’d found a pretty good listing on Nextdoor. Little did I know, this asshole was gonna waste an hour and a half of my time and not even acknowledge it. What a dick.

Not shown in the screenshots: me calling his number and the number on the sign out front a total of seven (7) times.

Every show I go to these days is filled with people just having full blown conversations while artists are actively performing. If you can’t be respectful and pause your conversations for 30 minutes don’t bother showing up! I know you might only be there for the headliner but supports deserve respect too!

This video is from a show the other night seeing one of my favourite new artists supporting someone else and people just talked all the way through her set.

And I know people are already going to complain about me recording the show but I was only recording a bit for an HQ page and to show how bad it’s gotten.

EDIT: since a few people have mentioned the guitar playing she has a guitarist on stage with her playing the main parts of the song she plays parts and her main guitar parts are after I stopped recording.
