    I hate it when one of my eyes itch but it is like on the outside - it's caused by allergies, I guess and usually goes away on its own but damn, it's annoying.

    • When I get an email with a clickable picture, which ostensibly would be a link for the item it's displaying, but just pops up into a bigger picture instead.

    • When I'm at the store or shopping area and entire groups of people spread out and take up the entire walkway, and won't move to the side when you're walking the opposite way. I'm looking at you, huge Latino families that all need to go to the store together. You know you do it, my best friend is Latino and he laughs about it and says 'that's Mexicans for you' when I bring it up.

    Walk straight and purposeful, pretend to talk on the phone like it's urgent (throw in a "doctor" as needed) walk right through 'em.

    This is one of the only acceptable situations to do this.

    You’re psychotic if you’re letting some 16 year old with absolutely no life skills pick out your produce for you.

    I’ve found that inventory turnover on produce is really fast, resulting in low issues with produce. We also don’t eat things that bruise easily like tomatoes. I eat tons of berries which are pre-packaged. Same with mushrooms and spinach. Potatoes and onions are hard to damage.

    You can always go and just get your produce. It’s a quick trip as produce is usually at the front of the store.

    Usually do walk like I have a purpose when I’m shopping, because I do have a plan and a purpose when I go to any store.

    The only time I mosey is when I’m partying, because I am the destination.

    I eat a lot of avocados. So pass on that.

    Just bc berries come prepackaged doesn’t mean half of them aren’t already rotting on the bottom. Bananas. Mangos. I could go on. I get that even a 10 year old can pick out an onion.

    Sure, you could buy produce separately, but if I’m already taking time to go to the store then I don’t see the point. The problem is people at the store (or driving down the street, or doing ****ing anything in life) have absolutely zero urgency and waddle around like they have no other responsibilities or interests or anything to do otherwise. Idk maybe I’m the problem. And navigating the store traffic like I’m weaving lanes on 290 is infuriating. Still able to usually get in and out in less than 30 mins and spend no less than $250.

    Somehow, my pool D.E. Filter had an issue when I backwashed where the grids and manifold unseated from its tube connection. So, when I ran the filter regularly, everything(dirt, filter media) in the filter went into my pool. I must have vacuumed the pool with a pole-attached rechargeable vacuum at least 40 times while also partially draining the pool. It’s almost an exercise in futility trying to vacuum that much filth because most of it just moves around and resettles. It took hours of work over several days to get the pool clean again. Such an annoying mess. Talking about a workout!

    I'm scared to see the price hikes on avocadoes when the tariffs kick in. I love avocadoes

    So true! I always check the bottom of those containers weeding out the ones that are already turning mushy, especially the raspberries and strawberries.

    That they don't change the names of the Big 10 and Big 12 Conferences. The names are outdated.

    Lol this is definitely a good one. The big 10 has 32 teams.

    I love Willie's cover of "Stay All Night" and Skynyrds one of "Call Me the Breeze", but these damn constant commercials during March Madness are about to ruin both songs for me.

    I am tired of the personal shoppers at HEB with their big ass carts taking up the aisle so it's a dam bottle neck to get through the aisle...................and also the people that have to sit there and scan the QR codes to see if its cheaper elsewhere, people are trying to get through the dam aisle.............MOVE it along

    Or as others have mentioned, the people that walk side by side through a store, in a competition to see who can walk slower.
