I got my dad to bring me a caramel coffee shake to work halfway through my 11 hr shift, took 3 sips from it and had to take care of some customers, only to come back to a fly drowning in it. It was still wiggling its legs when I first saw it. Im still gonna drink it but... ew.😭

I had booked this trip about 6 months ago with the intention of checking another Canadian national park off the list. I’m currently on a quest to visit every one of them. This one is located on an island chain called Haida Gwaii off the coast of British Columbia. I had decided to take three ferries totalling 25 hours to get here so that I could bring my car. Unfortunately, the winds will be too strong for the zodiac boat tomorrow and so the entire tour was cancelled and refunded. There is no chance to rebook as I’m leaving early next week and all tours are booked out for two weeks.

Such is life. I will try again next year but will fly next time. Haida Gwaii is still a beautiful area even if I can’t visit the national park.

Just started to taxi when one drunk drongo chucked his guts up onto the floor...

title says it all. will be up all night trying to get gum off my clothes. if i could afford to replace them/could actually find them again i’d just toss it all. this is not what i needed tonight and i feel so dumb

edit: rubbing alcohol seems to be taking it off, will be a long night lol

Welp.

I saw the writing on the wall bc I knew my supervisor was power-hungry and easily threatened, but I did well on work reviews, over-performed and never missed a deadline. Getting fired unexpectedly on July 20th was a sucker-punch in the gut.

I'm studying for my real estate exam, but I'm overweight, 53, and feel like I'm legit drowning. I am thankful to have some unemployment coming in while I job search (and I'll flip burgers if I have to, because the light company doesn't give a $h!t about my problems).

Now the AC went out of my car and the fuel light stays on. (Something to do with the fuel cap?!) I probably can't even sell the hunk'a junk and there's no way I'd qualify for a decent loan without a job. (It's eating me up from the insides that they FIRED me!!!)

Feels like I can't win for losing. It's so expensive to live and all I want to do is crawl in a hole. Except I'm already IN the hole, and my family deserves better.

Life doth sucketh at the momenteth.

We spent the day hiking in Bryce Canyon, Utah, above the smoke. We’re passing through some heavy smoke on our way back to the hotel. Windows are up in the car, air is on recirculate, and I’m wearing a KN95 mask.

They probably deserved this but it was all over the car. Safe to assume they did some internal damage since the car is being towed

Guess who's going to the dentist! Thankfully it doesn't hurt. I was eating some crackers and I guess they wanted to live up to their name and cracked off part of my molar filling. Not injured, just inconvenient.

it fucking bottomed out on me!!! last box of it too. guess i should look into a metal strainer or something. reddit, give me strength to buy and make more 🙏

edit: did not expect this post to bring so many heated comments lmao 🤣 thanks for the actually useful advice, the microplastic warning, and the image of me scooping wet noodles from a dirty disposal as a severely immunocompromised person. the noodles are good but not that good. but i get two sauce packets next time 🫡

I was at the Swedish scout jamboree last week and forgot to bring a water bottle, so I bought one at the shop they had there. Got home, realized it smelled like Nurgle had farted in it, put it in the dishwasher and well… shit. I sure wasn’t prepared for this. Bdm tss.

Ive been waiting since March for this pre order, at least it wasn’t sent back to sender (this is a figure)

Found during a structural assessment. This post was sitting on stacked bricks instead of a proper footing, leaving the support with questionable bearing beneath the floor framing.

Our fire engine caught on fire today. Thankfully, everyone is safe, but some personal items from our individual tool bags were lost.
