    The price of a 6" subway sandwich being $5.99.

    BUT I've been waiting forever for the roast beef to come back and it's national sandwich day and I'm testing out being able eat a sandwich as a sandwich is meant to be eaten so I splurged. :)

    (And OMG, this sandwich is perfect. The bread is soft and the meat isn't rare and they didn't over do the mustard.)

    Also, I'm not sure I'm irked (yet) but the gas station where I stop off for my diet soda has a new employee and she's so gung ho and perky and IN A GOOD MOOD and geez, I polished off this sandwich fast and I'm on the fence about it being refreshing (the new employee, not the sandwich) or definitely irksome in the future. :)

    Choosing the Express checkout at lunch hour to ask the cashier why your loyalty points weren't added to your account the last time you shopped and shooting down all her helpful suggestions for getting them updated... after you already held up the line buying a case of bulk food that wouldn't scan properly and needed a manager override. :s

    Waking up at 2:00 a.m. and tossing/turning until 4. Then just climbing out of my cocoon because what's the use anyways?
    That's becoming the norm these days....

    Then I go to turn on our outer light downstairs, that goes into the driveway, first time I've used it since our kitchen reno. It doesn't work. I think our electrician did something that effed it up. Will replace the bulb but I just have a feeling..... :(

    Relatives who contact you trying to be your friend even though you have nothing in common and haven't spoken to them in a long time just because they heard someone you are close to is not doing well.

    people who constantly leave and come back.

    It's time for my company's annual enrollment, meaning selecting the medical, dental and other plans we will use in 2022. My company offers 3 medical plans to pick from, good start. My problem stems from the fact I chose wrong last year, and my wife's doctor refused our 2021 insurance. To avoid this problem in 2022, I've been trying to call and find out which plan(s) all the family doctors do accept. But between the doctor's receptionists being undertrained and generally unhelpful, plus calling the insurance company to get details but getting placed on hold while shunted to some other number to be placed on hold to be shunted... I just spent two+ hours with absolutely no progress to show for it.

    I'm ultimately gonna just keep the same plan we had in 2021, as only a single doctor refused to accept it, and just pay cash for her single annual visit to see him.

    That I've fallen into the stereotypical millennial mindset of "I want it now", as I impatiently wait for a package to arrive (that I ordered yesterday).

    @nossmf Along the lines of your post, trying to sift through Medicare plans, making sense of crud they make much more difficult than it needs to be. BUT truly thankful for the people who help you through the process, simplifying it all so even *I* can understand it.

    In an attempt to avoid uncomfortable discussions and the possibility of separating members, I feel any further discussion of this should be avoided. Reguardless of how one feels perhaps a more light hearted irk can be addressed.
