I was at Ace Hardware yesterday grabbing a paint scraper and some old guy just walked up and said 'you're gonna bust your knuckles holding it like that'. He showed me a different grip and now I can scrape paint way faster. Has anyone else had a random stranger teach them something at the store?
I woke up at 5:30 to catch an early flight out of Atlanta and ended up walking all over the airport terminal because my gate kept changing. Before I even sat down on the plane my phone buzzed saying I hit 10,000 steps, which usually takes me until dinner time. Has anyone else had a morning where your routine just completely screws with your normal numbers?
Was leaving for work around 7:30, opened the garage door, drove the car halfway out, and then BANG. Door stopped moving and the cable went slack. Had to park on the lawn and call a repair guy. He said the spring was 7 years old and overdue. Cost me $285 for a replacement and a lecture about maintenance. Anyone else ever get caught like that with a random mechanical failure at the worst possible time?
So I'm trying to pack my lunch for work this morning and I need to grab some frozen veggies from the freezer. I open the door and there's my phone charger just sitting on top of a bag of peas. I have zero memory of putting it in there lol. I must have been half asleep when I got home last night and put it away with the groceries or something. I wasted like 45 minutes tearing apart my room and checking under the couch cushions. Has anyone else ever found something in the fridge or freezer that made absolutely no sense?
I had a slow drip under my kitchen sink for 3 years. Just a tiny one, figured it was no big deal. Last night at 2am the whole pipe burst and flooded half my kitchen floor. Landlord says the damage is gonna cost me $800 to fix. Anyone else put off a small fix and regret it later?
Ran into this older lady checking me out at the Publix near my house about 2 weeks ago. She just looked at me and said 'honey, you look like you been carrying the whole world on your shoulders.' Normally I'd get annoyed but she said it so matter of fact like. I was honestly exhausted from juggling a crew that had two guys call out and a deadline breathing down my neck. She didn't try to sell me anything or give advice, just bagged my stuff and said 'go home and sit down for 10 minutes before you do anything else.' Weirdest thing is I actually did it. Sat in my truck for 10 minutes with the AC on and it didn't fix everything but it made me realize I never just stop. Anyone else ever get a random comment from a stranger that actually hit different?
Was at the Kroger on Main Street around 5pm. Had both hands full with bags. One plastic bag handle just snapped. Eggs broke. Milk jug cracked. Had to stand there and pick up broken shells and glass right in the middle of aisle 4. A stock kid brought me a mop. Anyone else ever have a grocery bag give out at the worst possible moment?
I always thought tipping was just expected, not earned. But this barista remembered my order and asked how my job interview went. Now I drop a dollar in the jar every time.
I went for a jog at Lincoln Park today and some dude had a full drum kit set up right on the path. It felt like a prank but he was actually playing, so I had to jog around him in the mud. Has anyone else run into random musicians blocking trails like this?
