Edit: I even asked her afterwards “did you just move it into a different cup and add whipped cream?”

She told me no, she made it fresh. Probably assuming I wasn’t watching her.

I had to rush back to lab at that point 😭

E2: for those asking, it’s a Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino. My 2000 calories of pure sugar. Well, I guess like 1500 calories now.

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"

if a yearly contract with a free month trial sounds too good to be true, it probably is 😬

thankfully it was blocked after contacting my bank but regardless

33 weeks pregnant and was craving specifically Stouffer’s mac n cheese, don’t judge 🤣
Stirred it and noticed it was very soupy. So yes, I counted the noodles. I was extremely disappointed and of course this is the only box I bought 😭

EDIT:
Okay guys, you all gave me a good laugh. I’m glad some were as inconvenienced about this as I was. I did boil some elbow noodles and toss them in there. I did not make nachos or use bread, because my craving was the stupid Stouffer’s mac n cheese. For those mad about me calling them “noodles”, I don’t care. I will continue calling them noodles, be mad 🤣
I am considering contacting Stouffer’s QC, but also it was $5 and I’m fortunate enough to not be in a spot where $5 is a lot.

UPDATE: I reported it to building management and it was fixed this morning. I was completly dry washing my hands.

The flow was indeed too high and they fixed it. Considering the counter was always always soaking wet, I assume this issue had been around for a while so hopefully everyone is happy.!

Original:

Required to look clean and professional… and yet if you wash your hands you look like you just spilled all over yourself :,) and no paper towels

EDIT: here’s some answers to the most common questions I’ve seen.

“Why do you keep using the sink?”
It’s not just this sink, there are 3 sinks and all of them have way too high water pressure. It’s the closest bathroom unfortunately.

“Why are you wearing jeans/unbuttoned shirt”

The official dress code is Buisness casual for my department. I’m coming from working retail so this is much more professional than I’m used to. My shirt is unbuttoned because that’s the style.
Jeans are allowed at my job albeit only just recently.
We are required to be “well groomed” meaning a water stain on the shirt would be a problem

“Why don’t you just move out of the way”
I’ve tried. I tried leaning to the side, I tried staying as far away from the sink as I can, it’s just impossible. As soon as the water touches my hand it sprays all over. It’s awful.

“Use hand sanitizer”
You are okay with using hand sanitizer after wiping your butt? Remind me to never shake hands with you

“Why are you dumb?”
I was a gifted kid in elementary school and then when I turned 13, I never lived up to those expectations again idk.

Anyways, I just wanted to clear up that this isn’t that deep. I wanted to make a funny post complaining about something that irritates me every morning. I figure it would make someone laugh. It’s not that deep.

Thank you for the laughs tho. Some of the comments are very funny I love it.

I (23m) just bought a car at auction yesterday, works great but needed a new battery. At 10:30pm I decided screw it im swapping the battery. It's a 5 minute job, in and out real quick. No sweat, well I'm out there with my head lamp on doing the swap and I see a large bug flying at my face I try to duck and dodge it, it hits the outer edge of my ear and toilet bowl swirls into it, I try to reach in and fish it out but it's too late I just scare it and feel it crawling deeper into my head. It burrowed up against my eardrum and it hurts like hell. Every time it buzzes I can feel it in my head and it hurts my eardrum. I tried water peroxide everything I could do to get this darn thing out. Turns out I just pissed it off and it's buzzing more aggressively. My girlfriend comes with tweezers in an attempt to help but she says she can't see it or anything out of the normal. A quick Google search lead me to pouring olive oil into my ear to suffocate it. Thank God that worked, I still couldn't hear well but at least it wasn't actively moving anymore. 2 hours in the ER later they pulled this half inch monstrosity out of the depths of my ear canal. Turns out the "Asian cockroach" has wings and a very large affinity for bright lights at night. They also like to burrow. Fml 0/10 experience I will take questions if you have them lmfao.

Tldr: I had a headlamp on that attracted a cockroach at my face it missed my face and burrowed into my ear leading to an unexpected ER visit

Edit numero 2:

Just to add to 2 things I keep seeing pop up (also hello I am trying to read all comments not doing great though)

1. Some seem to have missed the asain cockroach thing, and the fact that I was working on a car so this is outside not indoors. This roach is a flying outdoor bug not the same as your houses cockroach. It doesn't infest and it has nothing to do with my living/cleanliness.

2. Y'all are probably right this probably should be more than mildly infuriating, but overall this wasn't THAT bad. The thought of it was worse than the actual event. It was painful while it was alive and moving but that was fairly quickly resolved. The rest of the time was just an ER visit which was inconvenient and embarrassing. And obviously costs money. Fortunately I have good insurance so my only real loss is the mild trauma and the fact that I'll probably wear a beanie for the rest of my life. Other than that, no lasting issues I'm at work today like nothing happened. More of a that's absolutely insane story now than anything else. So for me it was a mild situation as far as damage to my life (although I will simultaneously say it is an insane thing to have happen to you)

I'd probably prefer having my day go how it went yesterday than say blow my motor or get into a car accident.

Perhaps the most mild of infuriations you will see all day. All I could do is roll my eyes and laugh.

My husband loves his local soccer team. So much so that his wardrobe and our garden are in the team’s colors, burgundy and a yellow orange. One of the rival team’s colors are royal blue and red and the other one is green and white and yellow. Whenever I buy something for myself or the kids in these colors, he will make a comment and say that people will automatically think we are supporting these teams. Last year I bought our son a lovely plaid green coat with some orange in it and every time I put it on him he would make a comment about how our son shouldn’t be wearing the opposing team’s colors. Now our daughter is starting school and her uniform happens to be green and yellow. He has been complaining about it and joking about not sending her to that school.

Picture for reference of our garden.

edit: how do i block the word “bidet” from my comments lmao like ok i get it 😭 also i posted this at 5am when there are literally zero stores open to get any hence why i said i had to wait until tomorrow (tomorrow comes when i sleep and wake up) also idk why yall think im not getting in the shower to wash right after like you think im just gonna be sat here w shit in my ass

You can hear the whole crowd boo each time. Total momentum killer and AD space builder.

Ok bananas ig

The email said only said 10:30 am at the community center. Not that it would last 6ish hours.

Not to mention, the email says the location is Hebbron Family Center, but then the map they specifically tell us to reference shows General Stilwell Community Center, which is a completely different location like 40 minutes away. 😭

And I literally got a text this morning saying, “Get ready for your interview from 10:30" only to get an email shortly after that basically said, surprise! It’s a whole field day until 5 PM. I am so confused lol.

Don't worry guys. I found my page.

Edit: A short story, by a man who does not know how his book ends:

Twas a dark and stormy evening, as the foolish husband looked out upon his days labours. More goblin than man, his visage drooping as if too lazy even to lift itself, he sat, waiting for his princess to complete her chores about the castle.

"I'll bring his book from the bedside" the fair maiden whispered, lifting his favourite tome from his bedside into the basket, filled with his dirty garbs. This act of unprompted kindness was done without contempt, but would become the first step in a tragic path that would claim thousands (of words).

As she wandered about the castle, collecting strewn items - especially the idiot husband's socks - the book became buried inside a mound of stinking fabric.

An hour later, whilst the lazy husband once again placed a Chicken Kiev in the air fryer and called it "dinner", a great and terrible sound began to ring out. A gentle thud at first, but growing into a heartbeat that would pump only sadness. It was coming from the washing machine.

The cover never stood a chance, really. It gave up it's claim to life and spread itself amongst the (dark) fabrics within minutes. The remaining pages twisted, contorting into a defensive fetal position as it bashed time and time again against the filthy clothes and dirty water.

The wind howled. "Morning Star, book 3 of the Red Rising series" lay drowned upon the table. A single tear ran down a cheek.

"I should have done my own washing"

Didn't even make it to the overhang above the door to keep it dry.

Got a nice, soggy, banged up bluray player.
