Like cleaning the floors just to spill something.

Or the fact that unless you're doing your laundry naked it NEVER GETS ALL THE WAY DONE THERE IS ALWAYS MORE.

Or doing the dishes so you can eat something (unless you're one of the superior beings who cleans dishes as you go or as soon as you're done with them but I DON'T HAVE A DISHWASHER so it takes longer) just to realize now there's going to be MORE dishes but you have to eat!

Or scrubbing the toilet nice and shiny and then taking a poop that leaves tracks. This is my least favorite. It's all Fabuloso fresh and something decides it's going to make a graceless exit into my NICE CLEAN BOWL.

Or even putting new sheets on the bed and SURPRISE PERIOD TIME!! 😭

I want to CLEAN SOMETHING and have it stay clean for at least a FEW DAYS because I JUST DID THIS! I EARNED CLEANLINESS!! Guaranteed I will not take care of it immediately due to pure cosmic injustice.

When they invent self cleaning houses and robot maids I will SELL MY SOUL to be one of the first customers. FffffffuuuuuUUUUU----

Or really finding out anything for themselves. People will post a question and then.... Presumably just sit and wait for an answer??? How does that not drive you CRAZY?? Just waiting for other people to look up this very simple thing??

This got triggered bc of a post in a Harry Potter subreddit where the person was asking why Snape called himself the Half Blood Prince. I don't expect people to just know that, but really how is asking a subreddit better than getting the actual answer right away???

But you don't have *any* inclination to seek out the answer? It's not like Harry Potter is some underground, unknown series? You could probably ask 20 strangers on the street who the Half Blood Prince is and half would at least tell you Snape. I understand if it was an obscure question, but this??

People with no will to find answers on their own or solve their own problems.... How does that not hinder productivity in all walks of life?? Drives me up a wall.

Hello! I was pretty good at learning new musicals until my ability to do shows kind of fell off (didn't want to leave it was financial lol) and feel like I haven't learned a new one in like ten years. The ones I know best are like Les Mis, Rent, (the typical early 2000s hits) some JRB, Aida, Gentleman's Guide... Mostly stuff I got into in high school and college (mid-late 2000s, early 2010s)

Recently I was going to go to a Broadway Rave, but had to work. It's good, because there are a few months before the next one and I have time to learn some songs. Most of the musicals I know are before 2015 and I want to be able to sing along! Like I know Heathers, Bridges of Madison County, a little Hamilton, one Dear Evan Hansen song lol a little Ride the Cyclone...

I know a few they'll probably play that I need to learn:

Hadestown

Be More Chill

Moulin Rouge (never got into the movie)

Come From Away

And others that I have seen talked about on here.

I know I can do a Google search for what's popular, but when I did there were things it suggested that were largely lambasted here, so I would really appreciate some guidance to the actual bangers that actual musical theatre lovers would expect to hear at a Broadway Rave

Also if anyone has been to one of these and has any other tips for how to best enjoy it, I'm a bit of an introvert and enjoy doing things by myself so I'll most likely be going alone lol. Thank you anyone for your time ❤️❤️

Just trying to take the 203 home (bus 1/3 for me) and in the back there are 5 seats connected. Guy by the window needed to get off and I guess just made a "please move" gesture, to which the guy in the middle, blocking him, says "WHAT YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO SAY EXCUSE ME?!"

They go back and forth for enough time ("YOU NEED TO SAY EXCUSE ME" "I need to get off here can you please move??") while we're waiting for the light to turn green that it's like "my dude... You know the guy needs to get off... Just move??" But of course miserable people want to make other people miserable so he doesn't let him through until he's given him a verbal lashing.

Finally the poor window seat guy gets out of his row and the leg-spreader is still going after him; window-guy just trying to defend himself until leg-spreader is like "you wanna take this off the bus??" And window-guy is like "YEAH FINE SURE". Leg-spreader stands up to line up behind window-guy, and just the moment of them standing civilly next to each other waiting to get off the bus to "finish it" was pure gold.

We get to the stop and window-guy disembarks and just kind of waits for leg-spreader to hit him. Leg-spreader, upon realizing that this guy is not going to initiate, therefore forcing him to be the aggressor, walks away and tries to get back on the bus. He succeeds for a moment but decides that he NEEDS to get the last word in and steps off the bus again.

By then the doors have closed and leg-spreader can't get back on the bus to whatever stop he needed. He sacrificed his commute just to pretend to beat up a guy who didn't explicitly say "excuse me" when asking him to move his big ass legs out of the way.

Everyone didn't clap, but there was definitely a collective sigh of relief that the problem had removed itself.
