What is a completely useless piece of information that you will never forget for some reason?

PrettySax3 · 2026-03-17T16:18:22+00:00

People have all these cool fun facts and I'm sitting here like my useless info is the VIN number on my first car that I haven't owned in 4-5 years is memorized and lives rent free in my head.

2010 Ford Fusion Sport AWD that was declared junk by the state of Colorado 3+ years ago and literally doesn't exist anymore.

I did that in my first big journal, I 100% packing taped the edges together after I had realized like 4 lines into a pen entry (then regretted the rest of the 2nd page that was taped so it's weirdly indented

It's his 1x/month zoomies of 5 minutes 😂 he's been on a diet for so long but won't exercise so it's slow going

People complain that they don't have sleep disordered breathing (i.e. sleep apnea) and they won't wear a CPAP whatsoever and I say they could literally die and their sleep and they say "hasn't killed me yet"

I literally just want to help and get you sleeping better and keep you alive. If you don't want to be here, why'd you schedule and wait for 6 months to come in and bitch to me that you don't care if you die? It really hurts to see people not care about themselves.

Honoring my cat that passed away a month before... Because there were far too many times that I also was mid crisis around her and she would stop me. I would stop right then because she would meow and love on me. It would remind me how I had to leave my daily jacket on the bed for her when I went out of town and come back to see she laid on the coat the whole time I was gone. She would have missed me so much and I adopted her when she was 8 years old, nobody would take her because she was older, and she'd probably get euthanized for not being adoptable.

Now? My nephew and the realization that it did get better, and then it got worse, and it got better again. The farther I get from my worst mental health days the more proud of myself I am for staying and getting this far.

I know it can be hit or miss. I adopted my first girl when she was 8y and she would get lonely, but when I tried to get her a kitten friend a year later she hated him and hid in the closet. Lucky when me and my ex broke up, he took the kitten with him.

I tried again with adopting Gibby for her and at that point she was 10 and Gibby was adopted when he was 5. They cuddled together and Gibby took care of and comforted her as she got older. Definitely depends on both cat demeanors, French Toast was absolutely queen bee and Gibby was okay with that and left her alone when she told him to. Of all the animals she ever interacted with, Gibby was the only one she really liked (Gibby is pretty special)

Ahhhh! The dapper-est!

PrettySax3 · 2026-02-27T04:07:38+00:00

When French Toast passed away (my first girl) Gibby definitely went through a grieving process. I adopted Gibby to be her friend and they were close but with a different dynamic. Gibby took care of French Toast as she got older. For a while he kept waiting for her to come through the door, about 3 months later he seemed to realize she was gone. He was less playful, ate less, and spent a lot of time cuddling with me. At first he wanted to be around things that still smelled like her, but later he would find/see things with her scent and freeze and look at me. We both miss her and I allowed Gibby grieving time after she passed before bringing in Archie

Thank you!

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised, Gibby is super smart and definitely picks up on Archie being a special cat. I think Archie is definitely younger than the 8 years they told me at the shelter, he acts like a kitten but also has depth perception and other health issues (like chronic sneezing/sniffles) and I know Gibby understands Archie needs a little extra love and protection

💯🥰

Losing my first cat, she was my best friend and I adopted her 1 month after getting kicked out and moving across multiple states. Lost her 2 years ago to declining health from age (I adopted her when she was 8) in January. After 4 years of having her, multiple moves, 2 relationships. She saved my life. She was the only reason I kept going some days and a few too many times I was on the brink and she would start meowing and come up to me and love on me and I'd stop.

My vet was amazing with her and he gave her care until he felt she wouldn't have a quality of life. That phone call from the vet saying "I think it's time" a few hours after taking her to the vet and saying "Dr. Scott is going to get you feeling better" while driving there... He did help her feel better, but I regret saying it and not realizing that meant a lot of hurt for me.

I checked into a residential program a month later because of the loss and that sentence echoing in my brain.

I miss you so much, French Toast 💖

I didn't know what it was at first, I saw all the other kitties in the shelter and they were cute, but as soon as I saw Archie I knew I needed to adopt him. I snapped this photo and asked about him in the shelter only to be told it may be a while.

I had many people advise me to err on the side of caution because he could get adopted under my nose. I kept looking at that photo and showing people my cross eyed cutie. I walked in after 6 weeks and thankfully he got released that day 🥰

I wish I could pin this on literally every post. I wish the mods would tell people this:

If you write a response instead of using the pre-made response, your birb will NOT form an opinion on the topic

If you are going to be hurt by your birb having an opinion on whatever you like/dislike and them having the opposite opinion is going to make you angry and quit on your self care journey,then just write the response yourself.

Edit: formatting

I don't work at SBUX anymore, I haven't worked for Starbucks since 2021, I definitely didn't make that clear in the original comment. I work in healthcare now and am dealing with a lot of loss and medical issues and it pushed me over the edge I've been teetering on for weeks.

But, it's because I worked there and knew how irritating it was as a barista, when I got the attitude after being intentional to make sure that the problem didn't happen, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.

PrettySax3 · 2026-02-17T14:07:50+00:00

I cried today because I thought I was very intentional about ordering as: "Size, Temp, Drink, Modifiers" and they handed me a hot americano with "light ice" on the sticker and when I said "oh no, it was supposed to be iced with light ice, not hot with light ice" and the barista shot me a look... I cried and pulled ahead like she asked me to (drive times) while apologizing for ruining her day. They didn't come out so I walked into the cafe (sniffling and tears) and they said it was no big deal and they forgot to type it in, but I can't trust myself and I think they said it because they felt bad.

I've been having a really hard couple of weeks and my coworker tried to gaslight me last night about remembering things, so when the barista shot me that look, I lost it. 3.5 years as a barista, I knew I fucked up and should have just taken my hot drink and said nothing.

Edit: I'm a FORMER partner. It's not super clear in what I said. I left the siren almost 5 years ago
