Found a pretty good deal on a shuffleboard table, but then started to look around the basement for a place to put it and realized I'd have to rearrange the entire layout and move the pool table, large sectional, 75" TV, dart board and Golden Tee machine to find a home for it. I think we're going to have to find a way to move on with our lives without shuffleboard.

The cell modem in the combine is acting up so the monitor in the combine and tractor are not communicating. The guy in the tractor with the grain cart has to set a guidance line instead of having one set automatically when he goes to catch grain from the combine. It’s a serious problem…..not really.

Then I think about farmers in the Ukraine having to dodge land mines right now

Got an alert that a charge from Amazon labeled "other" went through on my credit card for $148.73. Didn't remember buying anything that expensive, didn't show up under my orders, checked with my wife even though she has another card number, etc. Stressing out for 15+ minutes that someone has stolen my card. Backed out the tax and it came to $139. What the hell is $139....."There can't be anything I subscribe to for $139!". Go to my CC mobile app to dispute the charge and then lightbulb-----Amazon Prime.

The sad thing is that it probably happened last year as well. This year I'll learn and put in on my calendar to happen yearly.
Same thing for me :) I remember calling my credit card company (Discover) and found out what it was. Felt kind of dumb, but didn't remember it was an auto-pay arrangement. Making everything easier is so difficult sometimes.

The video chat tool my work uses has a bug that it sometimes fails to recognize the microphone if you start it with your laptop closed.

So on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays when I work from home (and I’m too disheveled to turn on the camera) I occasionally have to close the application, open my laptop, and rejoin the meeting.

Everybody is too fat because we eat too much and especially unhealthy food.

My soundbar turns on then randomly goes silent for about 3 seconds after a minute or so and then works just fine. Those 3 seconds annoy the living hell out of me.

EDIT: One more. The sensor on the liftgate in my SUV is too sensitive so if I circle around the back with the fob in my pocket, it will randomly open when I don't want it to. Then I have to dig the fob out to shut it.

This morning, the vent hole on my white chocolate latte was too small so I had to suffer with small drinks until I got to work and could open it up with a push pin.

This is the Chef's kiss of this thread.

I didn't get the Cyclone sweatshirt I wanted for my birthday so I had to buy it with my own money.

My phone updated and the new tab button in chrome moved from top left corner to more conveniently in the bottom right corner. But I still go to the top right everytime.

The water fountain at my work has a place to fill up water bottles upright, but the sensor on it is broken. So now I have to tip my Camelbak sideways and manually hold the water button down. Since it’s tipped sideways I can’t quite fill it all the way up.
