A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know (sh.itjust.works)

pay bills past their due.

I hate that all my bills are like forced automation so I can't plan out when I can pay them, I'm forced to pay them all at the beginning/end of the month - there's no options to change the date any more and if you call up and ask, they get all weepy and apologize that they can't offer a different date to pay.

So I'm just forced to let them all go through and then play catch up cause of how I get paid not lining up with the end/start of every month.

Thankfully my job will reimburse me for one of my bills but of course they take fucking forever to process the reimbursement.

Have you tried getting them move to a strange dat, like the 14th? Might work.

Nah, they won't do it anymore.
