pet peeves #1

Emma opens with a candid reflection on a slow, late-starting day, acknowledging how procrastination and routine disrupt her sense of control and productivity. She shifts from relying on takeout to cooking avocado toast, framing it as a step toward financial responsibility and self-reliance. As she explores her creative drought, she admits that daily monotony stifles inspiration, leading her to accept that creative blocks are normal and even manageable. She then launches into a detailed list of 16 specific pet peeves, from loud eating over the phone to poorly made coffee and cringey boomerangs, showing a deep sensitivity to everyday inconveniences. These include judgmental remarks about others’ habits, lying in personal contexts, and superficial bragging—all of which she sees as damaging to trust and authenticity. She also critiques fashion choices like V-necks and poor packaging, noting how careless handling of fragile items has caused frustration. Ultimately, Emma frames her pet peeves not as mere complaints but as reflections of personal growth, especially in her journey toward honesty and self-awareness. The episode ends with a lighthearted but sincere acknowledgment of her emotional connection to small, often overlooked details, and a call for audience input as she seeks new content ideas, emphasizing vulnerability and authenticity over perfection.

Hi guys, it's Emma. Welcome to anything goes. I hope you're all having a great day. I kind of had a slow start to my day today to be honest. I woke up later than normal, like probably two hours an hour later than normal, and I just couldn't get out of bed. Like I did not get out of bed until like an hour ago, and like it's two now. And I know that that's not even a bad thing. And I'm not really beating myself up over it, but it is kind of stressful when you have things to do. And then you get out of bed late and you're like, fuck, and then you have to do it. And then it takes longer. And then you're done later in the day and the whole thing's a mess. But you know what? All we got is time. And so I'm just going to I'm going to roll with it. I cooked today. I cooked. Not really. I made myself avocado toast. I've been ordering so much food instead of making food for myself. And I'm starting to feel like it's not a good thing. Like it's not financially responsible. It's just there's nothing about it is good. It tastes good. But it's just like not necessary. So I cooked today. I ordered a bunch of groceries from all foods, got them delivered and got some avocados. Have some bread left over from like two months ago that I haven't touched. It's not moldy yet somehow. So I made myself avocado toast. It's kind of fire. My avocado toast recipe changes like once a week. But so good. So that's what I did this morning. Okay. That's what I've been doing. And to be honest, when I was trying to come up with a topic for today's episode, I was stumped because I am running out of things to talk about. I'm running out of things to talk about on my podcast. I'm running out of ideas to film from a YouTube channel. I'm not going to lie. I'm running out, which is cool. You know, it happens. I'm just going to push through it or whatever and see what I come up with for cardless. But it kind of sucks, you know, because it's kind of stressful just because, you know, as we know and as we've all known and as we've all, like this is obvious, we're all going through this together, but there just really is like nothing going on. Like my day to day is so the same as part of probably it. My day to day is just so like routine that there's just like nothing jarring that happens. You know what I mean? So it's hard for me to stay creative when I don't have anything happening to me because my brain's just kind of an autopilot. And when my brain goes into autopilot, it's kind of hard for me to be creative. I've noticed when I'm just kind of going through the motions of every single day, it's crazy because I used to get so freaked out when I get into a funk, like I would freak the fuck out. Like think that my whole life was over, thought I was going to die, thought that I was, you know, all that. And the truth is, after you burn out enough times or you get kind of a little bit confused creatively enough times, you just kind of sit back and let it happen. And I think it helps it pass so much quicker when you just kind of sit back and let it happen, you know, and don't worry about it too much. So that's what I'm trying to do. If you guys have anything specific that you want me to talk about on here, always feel free to tweet me, DM me, whatever. It helps me a lot right now, especially because I am, I'm fresh out of thoughts. But I thought that it'd be kind of funny to talk about all of my pet peeves. I literally wrote down 16, which is a lot in there, very specific. Some of them are kind of obvious, but I just, I don't know what it is about me, but I think I just get annoyed about everything. Like everything pisses me off. Which actually is fun. Like, you know, you think that that would be a negative thing, but actually I think it's kind of funny. Like I think it's funny that like everything annoys me and it kind of is entertaining. Like things that annoy me are entertaining. Does that make sense? Like I love things that annoy me. I like to be annoyed or like cringed out by something or have something bother me because it's kind of like entertainment in a way. So, you know, maybe that's a bad thing, but I, it's one of my hobbies. One of my hobbies is having pet peeves. So I wrote down as many as I could and we're just going to talk about it today. Maybe you guys agree. Maybe you guys don't, whatever. I just think it's funny and fun. I don't really think it's funny, but I think it's fun. So let's just get right into it. Something that's been pissing me off recently is when I call my parents on the phone and we talk for like 20 minutes and then all of a sudden they start eating like loud, crunchy meals. I don't know why they think that this is okay. I don't know why they decide to eat every time we're on the phone together, but my dad will literally eat an apple on the phone with me and it pisses me off, but I love my parents so much, but they love to eat when they're on the phone with me. And it's so funny. We've talked about this. I've talked about this with them. I'm like, why are you doing that? Like just call me back after because that sound, like I can't even, I can't even talk when I hear the sound of a fucking crunching apple over the phone. And the thing about talking on the phone is that amplifies sounds. So like if somebody's eating an apple next to you, that's one thing and that's annoying on its own, but like when somebody's eating an apple into the microphone of their fucking phone, it is a crazy sound. It's different. It's not the same and it's so frustrating and it makes my blood boil, but I love my parents and I will let them eat their food on the phone with me as much as they want. I will just turn down the volume and work through it because I love them and it's okay. That's part of family is that you just, you deal with it and you move on with your family. Next, next pet peeve is when people get coffee and it's super light colored like milky because there's literally one drop of espresso in the coffee. This bothers me a lot. It's like they're drinking milk. I know what that coffee tastes like. I know it tastes like when there's a bad espresso to milk ratio going on in the coffee. I know exactly what that tastes like. I'm familiar with it. If I go to a fucking cafe and there's two drops of espresso and just like three cups of milk, I throw up and I hand it back and I say, "Bix it." I literally have to order extra shots of espresso in my coffee to avoid this problem when I go to cafes because I cannot stand when I get a latte and it's all milk. It's so gross and it's so avoidable. What's the point? Just drink a fucking cup of milk. Gross. It makes me so mad. It makes me so mad and it looks bad too. There's this perfect shade of brown when a latte is perfect. I could see one right now because I have one next to me that I just made. It's supposed to look like a nice shade of brown that a tan horse would have on their skin. Nice tan horse color, right? Tortoisele glass is light. Tortoisele glass is colored. Or a nice deep sand color, but not a light sand. Not sand from Hawaii, but sand from Northern California. That's or sand on the east coast, but not the Jersey Shore because that's white. I don't even know. Okay, some certain type of sand. The type of sand that's like the bitmost obvious type of sand, but like a little bit darker. That is what our latte should be looking like. If you're getting a latte and it looks like fucking chocolate milk, no, chocolate milk is darker than some of the, no. There's no espresso flavor at all in fucking coffee like that. It absolutely drives me nuts and it pisses me off. It just bothers me. So anyway, moving on. Next pet peeve. People that think that PE class matters. Okay, this more pertains to people that are in like middle school and like younger high school. There are certain people that think that PE class is like their time to shine. Okay, timed mile. They are sprinting around the fucking track like sweating like on the verge of throwing up the whole time. Just like making it their bitch hate like just okay. Then you know for standardized testing, push up test, pace or test, all that shit. They're like giving everybody dirty looks in the room and they're fucking like beating everybody in the class. And then afterwards the teacher congratulates them and then they're fucking have this stupid smirk on their face. I cannot fucking stand it. I can't stand it. It pisses me off so much. And these kids, these kids are the type of kids that their parents just made them think that they're like a god growing up. Like these kids could do no wrong in their parents eyes. These are the kids that would like bite their sibling until their sibling was bleeding and then the parents would like blame the sibling that got bit. Like these kids need therapy. These kids need to be homeschooled. I just cannot. deal with his kids. I was the type of kid that like I would try and be only to impress boys. Understood? Like I, I actually just realized by saying that that like I spent so many years of my life trying to make go go go go is trying to make guys think that I was cool. Like I spend more than half my life just trying to impress guys. I think only within like the last maybe six months I have stopped doing that. But like it really did take 18 and a half years for me to figure that out. So maybe that's my next pet peeve. My next pet peeve is when people do things just to impress other people. Listen, I used to do this. I hate it. I hate that I used to do that. Like let me try to think of a good example. I mean I already have a fear that I've talked about on this podcast of me doing that. But like I want to think of one that I've never talked about publicly. I've done that with music for sure. Like I acted like I liked music that I didn't to impress a guy. Like for example I'm not really that into rap music and I'll admit that. I mean I like it. I enjoy it. It's fun. You know and it's fun sometimes. But I normally and I there are genuinely some rap songs that I really like. But like when it comes to the genre as a whole I don't know much about it. And like I don't really like it's not my favorite and I don't know much of like I it's not knowledgeable on it. I you know well like some here and there if it's if it's good but I don't you know I don't really know. So but like in high school oh my God. I like made a rap playlist just so that I could play rap when I had like when I was hanging out with guys and if I was on the ox cord and I didn't even like the songs on it. Some of them yes for sure but like half of them now I just made that playlist of I was on ox I could impress the boys and like that's embarrassing. Okay this next pet peeve is not a personal attack on anybody for once because the rest of those were personal attacks not only on myself but also on others. So let's move to something a little bit more mundane POV you have a chapstick right and it's the type where you twist the bottom and it comes up solid it's a solid chapstick it's a twisty one picture like a bird's bee is like a chapstick brand chapstick okay you're at the end of it right and you can't push it up anymore and it goes completely flat on the top but there's still a little bit of chapstick left that you can't push up all the way because it's like stuck inside that pisses me off and at that point that's what I'm starting to get my hands dirty and I'm reaching my fingernail in there and I'm digging it out to get every last bit out which is disgusting and I know that but I do that and I hate it I wish the chapstick could be pushed up all the way because I just want to use it to its last to its very last day I want I want to be there for it from day one today 365 although for me I go through chapstick in like a month because I use so much especially right now because I'm on Accutane but even before that I've always been avid chapstick user that's why I've been using the liquid type that's like more of a lip gloss but like chapstick version that's like liquid so that like you get every last bit out I mean there's obviously some left inside but it's like I don't have to see it when I'm using the twisty type I can see that there's still chapstick left which bothers me so that's super annoying the next thing I'm gonna talk about my next pet peeve is strings in food I've talked about this before but like I really really want to dig into this and I want to know if anybody else is the same way because I've talked about this with so many people and nobody has resonated with me at all and I'm getting better about it as I'm growing up but like I still get grossed out by it little fibers in food little strings in food things like that for example pulled pork it has all those little it's kind of shredded so that it's like in all these little fine stringy pieces disgusting another example would be fuck I have to fart I can't cut this out my editor has to listen to that I'm sorry it was quiet that's what another example would be like in pesto I love pesto it's one of my favorite foods but like when you blend up basil they're like ends up being little parts of the of the stem that end up being little strings within the pesto which is why I buy this pesto that's literally so blended that there's like nothing left like there's no potential for like any type of string in it at all tomato sauce has those little like I don't even know where it comes from but the little fibers in it you probably don't even know what I'm talking about you've probably never even seen it or thought about it but I think about these things avocado when you scrape an avocado all the way down to the like skin of it sometimes there'll be these like little strings like the little fibers from it it's so gross to me it's so gross like when okay like if you're eating something and then you accidentally like get like a fiber on your tongue you have to like pull it off oh my god I fucking vomit so nasty okay my next pet peeve this one's a little bit deeper but it's when people are judgmental about something that's like mundane and stupid okay a good example would be like music or like your daily habits or about like basically when somebody is judgmental in mean about things that like have nothing to do with them and don't affect them right and are like actually judging there's like one thing to like fuck around with your friend if like let's say your friend always wears the same sweatpants every day and you're like dude you never take those off it's crazy like make a little joke like that that's like to me innocent I don't think that that's judgmental like innocent and harmless banter with your friends is important but when somebody genuinely is like dude you wearing the sweats every day is like a real problem and like you need to get new sweats and also you just need to like buy new clothes like I feel like you're not buying clothes at like the right places I feel like you need to I hate that that bothers me so much and it's so unnecessary and people like that are so toxic to be around and I just it bothers me it's like what is it to you though why does it matter why if it does not affect the person judging why are they judging I get it if you want to judge somebody behind their back and like have your own little opinions what are what am I gonna do about that I get it that happens but it's like when you're obviously judging somebody to their face in a fucking abrasive way I don't even know if that's the right word like that really bothers me and I just don't get it and there's so many people like that and I just will never understand it next is a little bit less deep when people are eating like a sandwich or something that has mayonnaise in it for example and then they get mayonnaise in the corners of their mouth and it just stays there for like an hour do you know what I'm talking about if let's say people are eating salad with ranch and like just like the white whole I need a break literally I have to take a coffee break for this one oh my god there's nothing more disgusting to me than this or even like yogurt and it just gets in the corner of the mouth like white creamy foods in the corner of people's mouths so nasty to me I remember like I used to have this teacher it was I'm actually not gonna say which one because I he was actually really really fucking nice and he was one of the best teachers I ever had because his class was so hard he was my eighth grade he was a teacher for me in eighth grade he his class was so insanely hard but it taught me so much and like he was actually really sweet and cool but he used to eat a sandwich every day for lunch and I had his class right after lunch and he would fucking have mayonnaise in the corners of his mouth and his sandwich also smelled like shit every day like his whole class would smell like a fucking Ronyan every single day I'd leave his class smelling like a fucking Ronyan because it was just like he would stick it would stick to fucking everything but God bless him he was really a sweet man and I was able to look past his sandwich issues because yeah you know next is Instagram boomerangs this isn't this is controversial this is really controversial because you know I know a lot of people use Instagram boomerang and I understand it's It's fun, but it's so awkward. And I know exactly how they looked when they were making the boomerang. Like, nothing gets past me with that. I can see in my mind exactly how they looked when they were posing for that boomerang when I watch it, which just drives me insane. Like, I've made boomerangs before and they are so cringy to make. Like, it cringes me out to make them. I can't explain exactly why they bother me, but they do. And it's mainly like when-- it's mainly like the posing ones. But at the same time, I don't want to be hating. I don't want to be judging. If you make Instagram boomerangs, you fucking go. Don't let me stop you. It just bothers me, and I'm just being honest, but I'm not judging people who do it. I just-- I think it bothers me when I make them, and then when I see other people do it, I just feel the pain automatically. And so it's just-- you know what I mean? Boomerangs can be cool, though, if it's like a scenery. Like, I've seen that where it looks really pretty, and that's cool and all, but now I feel bad. I feel like I just attacked people. I've been just attacking people this entire episode. But you know what? I'm not judging. I'm just attacking. There's the difference. Next, this one's really fucking obvious, but I want to get right into it. Lying. I'm literally putting on chapsick for this one so that my lips can be lubed up so that I can talk to my full potential, because lying is my biggest pet peeve. It didn't used to be either. I didn't really use to even think about it. It never was something that bothered me. But I've gotten lied to within the past few years in ways that have literally caused me so many fucking trust issues that I now am so-- I get so mad when people lie. OK, obviously I'm talking about things that are not mundane. If somebody lies to you about, why do I keep farting? Oh, I really hope you didn't hear that. No, I think I have a cast. OK, I don't want to talk about it. I just want to move on. OK, I'm like, every bodily function is happening to me, and I'm so sorry that you guys have to hear it. Anyway, when people lie about shit like birthday party, or they're giving you a gift, or they're surprising you with something, or even like in relationships, no, I actually don't agree with that. I was going to say something, but I actually take it back. So that's really interesting. I was going to say that lying about things like how many people you've kissed or something. I was going to be like, I don't think that's a big deal. But I actually do. I feel like if you're in a relationship, you should be being straight up about that. I actually don't think you should ever lie about something like that. Because I think if you have to lie for that person's approval or for that person to like fuck with you, then you shouldn't be with them anyway. But it's crazy that I just caught myself in that, because I was about to be like, well, maybe that's not something that they need to know. But actually, I don't think you should have to lie about that if you could always be like, I don't want to fucking tell you. So shut up. And that's valid, but don't lie. I think I'm mainly speaking on like in relationships in general, like not just romantic, but also platonic, like lying about things that don't need to be lied about. Like, you know, I'll give an example with myself. I, one time, was talking to a guy-- and no, I can't tell-- sorry. Oh, god, Jesus Christ. OK, we just can't-- there's just no examples for this. Lying, annoying, don't do that. Creates trust issues, and it's a problem. I mean, I have a lot of trust issues from people lying to me. The thing is, I've lied to people. Not ever like in a crazy way, like not ever about anything that was at all like detrimental. I've-- actually, the times that I've lied have been when I felt like I wasn't accepted by the person that I was spending time with. And I felt like I needed to cater my answers to them for them to talk to me or be in my life because they were judgmental. That's the only time I've ever lied is when I felt judged. So if you ever catch yourself, like, kind of lying to somebody about dumb, stupid shit that doesn't matter, it's like lying about something that, like, doesn't affect-- it doesn't-- OK, like an example would be like, how do you feel about this song? Like, do you like this song? Because I fucking hate it. Deep down, you like the song, right? But you're like, no, I fucking hate this song. That's the type of lie I'm talking about. Not like, oh, hey, what were you doing last night? Oh, I was home, but really, you were like, out with your friends, like, that's not the type of lie. Like, that's actually a lie that's serious. I've never lied like that. I am talking about actual, like, mundane stupid shit, like, if you like a song or not, or like, if you've ever tried to skateboard, like, chill like that, like, just, like, doesn't matter. You're like, oh, yeah, for sure, for sure, I love that. If somebody, if you feel like you need to lie like that around somebody, they're actually probably not good for you. And you need to work on that and make sure that you're not around people that make you feel like you need to change your story for them to accept you and love you and care about you. Next pet peeve is V-neck t-shirts. I hate them. I think that they're so ugly. I don't know how to explain it. I just always hated them. There are, like, scenarios where V-necks work. But I'm talking about, like, a gap, old Navy, V-neck, Heather Gray t-shirt. That shit pisses me off. Don't ever-- I hate it. I hate that. I used to wear V-necks all the time. That was, like, my go-to middle school look would be Lululemon leggings the same pair every day for the whole week. White vans and a V-neck from Paxson. And then Colin hit a day. And then, yeah, that was the fit. Next is when the toilet paper is on backwards. Every time I'm at somebody's house and their toilet paper is on backwards, I will literally flip it around for them and not ask. I don't care. I'm just going to assume it was a one-time mistake and that they want my help. I don't know. On what sick planet, it makes sense to have the toilet paper on backwards. I'm talking about when the dangly part of the toilet paper is facing the wall. Oh my god, it's just so annoying. So I make it my responsibility to change it for them. Moving on. Certain TikTok sounds. There are certain TikTok sounds that make me want to rip my hair out. Like, I'm going to try to think of an example. I'm going to play one right now for you. I don't know if that's copyrighted. I don't think it is. I heard one today that really bothered me. Oh, this one pisses me off. Open up the safe, bitches. Got a lot to say. I see any face that'll put you in your place. Seven letters on the play, fuck you, and I break it. I got car-- Ugh. It's so annoying. I actually have another one that I'd like to show as well. [MUSIC PLAYING] Ugh, god, fuck. It's so annoying. There's worse ones. But those were just the only ones I could find off the top of my head. So many TikTok sounds piss me off. So anyway, I literally just spent five minutes finding those. Next, when somebody starts to tell me a secret, and then they stop, what pisses me off about it is that I know that they want me to ask, right? Like, when they're like, yes, so I don't know. I have a crush on this person. And they're like, who? And then they're like, never mind. It's like, then why'd you fucking bring it up? I'm nosy. So give it up. It pisses me off. That pisses me off so bad. And it happens all the time. Although I actually did that literally earlier in this podcast. I was about to tell a story. And then I was like, ugh, never mind. But see, the thing is, this can be edited. I'm still going to leave it in, though, because it's funny, because it's part of the conversation, but whatever. Next is when I walk past a door knob, right, like in my house. And something gets caught on it. For example, your headphones that aren't wireless, your headphones that have the wire. Your pocket can get caught on a door knob or like your sleeve, oh fuck that makes me want to punch a wall Makes me want to punch a wall. I hate that That just makes my blood boy. Like that makes me want to literally like it makes me violent. It makes me so violent Like I've actually cried about that before like that's happened to me before when I've kind of been on edge as is and I've actually started crying about it Next is Fedachini Alfredo. I just think it's gross and I don't understand why people like it. There's not really much to say about that. I just Whatever Last but not least I don't know how I talked about this for 37 minutes. It'll be cut down to less because that's how podcasts work But I'm pretty impressed. I must be annoyed with a lot of shit last but not least is humble bragging Okay This is like my biggest pet peeve ever when people are like oh My god I want to post this Instagram photos so bad But I just look way too pretty in it and I feel like it's gonna hurt people's feelings Because I'm so pretty Why don't you just say Wow, I really like this photo of myself. I'm excited to post it That's a really stuff like stupid example, but like we all know what I'm talking about like when people are like Or if they're like oh my god, I got a 94% on this test. Oh, I'm so mad because I was like so close to getting like a 95 They just wanted to say that they got a 94 on the test That's it It's so annoying and it's so obvious exactly what they're doing Biggest pet peeve of all time. It makes me so mad or people are like This is more like in the YouTube space I feel like but when people like brag about like how much work they have it They're like oh my god. I'm so stressed out. I've my god. I have so many meetings Like so many meetings like so many big things that I'm doing so many so much meetings I'm so stressed and like while they're saying this shit They're like looking out of the corner of your eye to see if you're like wowed by the fact that they're fucking going to all these meetings like Sorry, I'm like throwing some fucking punches at people that I should not be throwing out and on that No, I'm gonna stop Talking about it, and we're gonna start answering questions and talking about shit instead But those are all my pet peeves. I definitely have more but You know it's enough for now Somebody asked me what are my opinions on wet socks? I mean, it's definitely not my favorite thing ever, but I don't feel like it like bothers me as much as it bothers most people Same thing with like the word moist like I'm just really unaffected by that like The word moist doesn't bother me a lot of people that's their pet peeve or whatever Personally, I feel like that about the word cluster Cluster is my moist. I can't even believe I'm saying it, but I feel like it's worse when like somebody says it out of nowhere Like that's when it takes me rise rise and make really makes me upset Somebody said I hate when my hair time a wrist gets wet same That pisses me off. That is a pet peeve. That is a really good one. I fucking hate that Somebody said how do you feel about neck cracking doesn't bother me. I actually love it Somebody said denails on a chalkboard bother you Yes Somebody said it bothers them when people put ketchup on things like rice or pizza like things that ketchup is not supposed to be on I agree although I sometimes put ketchup on eggs. I don't really do that anymore because now he's hot sauce, but I used to eat ketchup on scrambled eggs and like a lot of people think that that's weird, but like It's pretty fucking good to be honest I haven't eaten that in a long time. I've been eating hard boiled eggs for like the past year Or scrambled eggs from this one fucking place in LA I hate getting eggs from restaurants, but like these one scrambled eggs. They put parmesan on it. It's fucking amazing Somebody said that the smell of mint upsets them. That's weird because I Love that so if you ever date somebody tell them not to chew gum because that's not gonna go over well Somebody said that they hate short pencils. Same. It's so fucking annoying Somebody said I hate when people try to make you look bad in front of others uh I feel like that hasn't happened to me in a really long time like at least in a decent while Like probably for the last few months. I feel like I've been doing pretty good with that like nobody's tried to pull that on me But that pisses me off So much especially when you start to get older like I feel like a middle school in high school for me I was like shit like that happened all the time like just fucked up shit happened like that And everybody did shit like that Because they didn't know any better, you know what I mean like they would do it And they didn't know why they were doing it and it wasn't cool, but it was also like Nobody knew what was going on back then, but now like that I'm like almost 20 and like I'm almost an adult or I am an adult technically like Now when people do shit like that I can't Like I can't believe that people still do shit like that It just blows my mind All right, well nice little discussion about pet peeves. That was really fun I enjoyed that even though, you know, what was the point of it? Could not tell you, but I still enjoyed it I love when my mom slides up on my Instagram story Makes me feel good. She does it all the time. She just did it. I got a notification Care about that woman I'm trying to think about things that like I've been thinking about or like things that Have been going on for me, you know what I mean That I can discuss, you know I'm literally looking through my camera roll to try and see like Emma, what have you been doing? You know like I just don't Have anything to talk about my god I haven't done anything Actually, I'll share something with you that That's been happening to me that's been kind of bothering me. So Like probably a week ago Um, I ordered detergent to my house from Target and When it came It with the bottle was cracked so there's detergent all over the box all over the ground complete mess I was like that's weird whatever didn't throw it out order to new one I order a new one the same thing happened again And I was like what? And then I like threw it out again and I was like cheese and you know I was like so confused. I was like why is this happening and then I ordered candles the other day and one of my candles Was broken completely smashed I was like why are all my packages getting broken and I realized that the Mailman has been throwing my packages over my gate instead of like Using the call box to get through my gate and then putting them by my door or just leaving them outside the gate Which would be completely fine as well But they're literally throwing my packages over my gate And breaking all of my things It's insane. So my mom made me a little poster that I can laminate today and hang up so that I will not be getting broken packages anymore Because I was a huge I mean that's so upsetting like Fucking everything relatively fragile that I was ordering was just broken every time I'd open them Incredibly upsetting so super upset about that. Hopefully the sign works So that we don't have to deal with that anymore another thing. I got a hard boiled egg cooker off Amazon You can cook up to 14 eggs in there and it's pretty easy to use and really fun and really cheap. So I'd use that for the first time and I've been having hard boiled eggs Again because I get really lazy like boiling them is just too much work for me this hard boiled egg cooker Fucking sent from God like the most awesome thing I own Um, so I've been enjoying that what else That literally might be everything that's going on to be honest I have nothing else to say All right everybody Well, I hope you enjoyed hanging out with me for the past 45 minutes or 40 minutes or however long sense of being Um, I love you all.
