I tiny little rant hitting your inboxes today and I am apologizing (only a little) but I need to get this on my chest. There are three little annoyances that are triggering me these days. I figured I need you to suffer with me. Ha
Dying plants I am paying for
One minor annoyance that becomes a bigger one: our little front yard from our apartment building is not getting watered. Like all through summer I have not seen one person watering it or the soil being wet. At all. We are paying garden fees and I promise this entire year there is not once any water near those sad plants. They are dying left and right and get mowed down because the few that are still standing look like weeds. Every other building in the street has lush bushes and it is a constant reminder how it should look like. And there is even a water connection right in the freaking patch. But it is locked because someone could steal water. So I can not even take pity on the plants and do the job someone is paid to do and doesn’t di. I guess I should write to the landlord. But then we are heading into fall and it’s not really necessary anymore. Annoying.
The tiny sounds of robotic mowers
have you ever sat in the early morning ours or under a star scattered sky and then year a weird little sound that drives you nots. No? Well, come visit me. Those robotic lawn mowers give little beeping sounds day and night. No matter if they run or not. Why the hell do the connection ping that obviously happens need to be accompanied with a sound. And then the robot mower from my neighbors across (that I find over all very annoying for various reasons) has a headlight too. It drives around at night (which is forbidden in Germany due to nighttime wildlife but they don’t give a sh*t) and keeps blinding me when lying in bed. Annoying.
Drones overhead
Staying with robots. I have drones flying over head. I had this a few years back that one check out our neighborhood. It was loud and me and a neighbor were very irritated. Then my favorite neighbors *irony off* from a cross the streets bought one and flew it for a few days extensively. So annoying that I started googling laws and restrictions but then they suddenly stopped. Now this summer we had a few drone sightings again. One hovered quite a few minutes over our terrace and I am pretty sure they wanted to see what I was up too. I stared it down so whoever was watching knew I saw it. I was about to take some images and thought about reporting but then it left and was never seen again. I find it so scary how this technology in the hand of stupid people keeps being used. Annoying.
Tell me one annoying thing! Any of my annoyances would trigger you too? Are these little annoyances or more? Let’s hear it. Rant away.
