While staying at a hotel between places, Amazon decided to cancel my Crunchyroll subscription because they found it suspicious.
And they didn't flag it, they actually just outright canceled the order without looking.
Not that they actually make the effort to do this, because most major businesses really suck at this, but they could have looked at my purchase history and seen all of the anime I've purchased.

I hate that the "-ber" month holidays are at the end of the month and all clumped so close together
I am a big Christmas person. I still have personal boundaries and don't feel I can properly celebrate till Nov 1. Even so, there is a part of me that wishes American Thanksgiving could be sooner so I can fully get into the Xmas spirit. In a perfect world, Halloween would be early October, Thanksgiving would be early Nov.,.and then Xmas where it is so we can enjoy the Xmas season longer. And before anyone gets on my case, I know that I'm a grown adult and that I live in a free country to do as I please, but it doesn't feel the same to celebrate Christmas out of season. I just wish the season could be longer with the 2 prior holidays celebrated sooner. Surely I'm not alone in wishing this. And for those who love Halloween, you could in theory start celebrating after 4th of July or Labor Day to keep it equal to my preference for an extended Xmas season.
Edit to add: Regardless of who what why where when these days were set when, my wish still stands. Halloween and Thanksgiving would be better in the first week of Oct and Nov and I like where xmas is. That is my first world problem vent/wish/fantasy. I'm not here to debate exactly when or why the holidays are set that, my point is about wishing they were sooner so Christmas season people can enjoy it longer for reasons listed in original post above.

Spent 15 Minutes Looking for My Phone While It Was Charging Next to Me
I was running around my apartment looking for my phone, checking every room and even calling it from my laptop. Turns out it was charging right next to me on the couch the whole time.
I genuinely think I need a smartwatch just to help me find things I lose while they're literally in front of me. 😭

My neighbor’s Gardner is there every Saturday morning.
It annoys me so much. He drives a massive truck towing a huge trailer and is there mowing and leaf blowing for hours. It’s loud and it’s messy and it’s Saturday morning. I wish he would come during the week when everyone is at work and school.

I got upgraded to macbook at work - now i suffer.
… why the same shortcut in different applications, do different things??
Story:
At work i said (under my breath) that i would like to try those fancy macbooks that all of my collegues have. Few weeks later i was informed to pick up my new macbook air.
Long story short: i tried to screenshot dumb message in teams - i called that person (cmd + shift + s)

My wife used my streaming profile to watch her shows and now my algorithm is all messed up.
The other day my wife took the weekend and watched all her favorite vampire shows and failed to switch profiles, and now the algorithm is all messed up.

One of my neighbors has a Halloween yard display that is kind of gory. My other neighbor has 4 small children and is mad about it. Somehow I got stuck in the middle of it and they both want me to take their side.

I want to game, but the screen on my gaming laptop died and my switch won't turn on.
I went to fire up my gaming laptop today, only for the screen to just not function. I had startup sounds, and lights on my mouse and keyboard, but no visuals. Tried a few quick tricks to fix it, no dice, so put it away and pulled out my switch instead.
Now I've not played my switch in a couple months, so was expecting to need updates. Instead the damn thing won't even turn on. Its been sat on its charging dock, so should have power, and yet nothing. Even tried connecting it to a different wire and that didn't work either. So now I'm sat here wanting to play games, and nothing to play them on.

When you order a drink through the mobile app for the Monopoly codes, only to then get a plain drink with no codes.😑

I've gained 20 kilograms from joining bakery classes
I enjoy bakery classes and eating all the desserts I made everyday that only in one year I went from weighing 60 kilograms to 80 kilograms.
I'm also too lazy to exercise. I've tried personal trainer sessions and I lack motivation to do cardio by myself.
All I want to do is learn cooking, baking and eat eat eat. I don't even wanna work and exist like most people do.

We are getting our master bedroom remodeled, so all of my clothes and shoes are spread out between 5 other closets throughout the house.
I swear I get 10,000 steps in just picking out an outfit!

The purse I wanted was only available off the shelf, not untouched from the back of the store.
It’s still visually perfect, but I came all the way to Spain to buy it. I guess I’m fortunate there was still one to buy. Otherwise this post would be about having to buy it in a different color.

The 13 floors of neighbors below me heat my apartment for free, but it's a tad too warm
I live in a Canadian climate that can get extremely cold in winter.
My 14th (and top) floor apartment is almost always perfectly warm without me having to ever turn on the heat, probably because everyone below and around me turns on the heat.
But it's always just a little too warm, and I will sweat at night sometimes.
No people upstairs to hear stomping around, a great view, but a tad warm - woe is me!
(In the real dead of winter the cold can be at a dangerous level and cracking the window isn't really a good idea.)

I'm kind of pissed that VR hasn't taken off like it should have.
Why would somebody not want to feel like they're submerged in another world when they're in the privacy of their living room and/or bedroom. Why would they not think that it's the most awesome thing in the world?

My recipe for sauce Béarnaise calls for 12 tablespoons of butter, and I only need like half a batch, but a full batch of the shallot/tarragon/vinegar reduction is only 1.5 tbsp and the emulsion doesn’t really work if you try to halve the recipe
And béarnaise doesn’t hold or reheat. What a waste just for two little filets mignon.
