Netflix, you came along to help us out. No more worrying about recording or being limited to what channels are streaming. Little did I know you birthed the bane of my existence: streaming services and the monthly mugging that comes with it.
Here I am, little ol me, just trying to get the Florida Georgia game. I have subscriptions to Hulu, Peacock, HBO Max, Disney Plus, YouTube TV, and Paramount Plus, yet none of those are offering me a watch. And now our family members have to buy their own subscription because we aren’t in the same city?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE’S PREMIUM PACKAGES WITHIN THE APP. WHY IS EVERYTHING AN ADD ON.
This topic heated my brain, and I realized there are a lot of ~somewhat~ small things that put a damper on my day. Here are some others:
1. Using “warm” to express type of clothing. We don’t say dress cold? From an outsider’s perspective, it makes no sense. Is dressing warm so that you are warm or dressing for warm weather.
2. Automatic toilets that flush when you are still sitting. I AM NOT DONE AND NOW YOU ARE SPLATTERING ME? HELLO?
3. Carpet at airports. You build a place specifically for rolling luggage and decide to put the most non-slick material to exist.
4. Bananas that are both green and have brown spots. Identity crisis figure it out.
5. Notifications during driving that cover directions on GPS. This is such a hazard.
6. Someone behind you going over a speed bump, and it looks like they are flashing their lights.
7. When people say conversate instead of converse. I’m no linguist, but this is my one complaint.
8. When your pack of gum overheats and it sticks to the wrapper but somehow puts a liquid on your hand. Is this too niche?
