complaints and grievances

mmmmm ranty rant rant.

Democrats.
Republicans.
The ****storm that occurs when those two groups of idiots work together.
Tow truck companies that charge $300 to pull a car out of a ditch and drag it 35 miles >_>
The same tow truck companies that charge $26.75/day for the car TO SIT IN A PARKING LOT DOING NOTHING!
Baseball fans.

The misuse of "air quotes"

 

[Steel]

I always think it is hilarious that businesses hire cashiers who do not know how to count to 100. Heaven forbid I hand a cashier a $10.00 bill and a nickel for a purchase total of $5.03. It boggles their mind and they have to sit there a minute to figure it out that I am rounding up so I get a $5 dollar bill back instead of four ones. I can understand they really are that stupid. But what I can not understand is the fact that they were TRAINED to always type in the amount the customer hands them, and to return the change that the register displays, and they can NOT even do that simple act while they are confused! There is no math involved in that action at all. Maybe I should start typing it into their register for them while they relearn elementary school in their heads.

Heh, I don't find it a peeve, I find it funny. Good thing for them that I'm an honest guy so i just dictate to them the change they owe, and they usually listen when I talk with confidence.... And I'm wearing my lab coat nd pocket protector.

Pet peeve of the day:

People who are so small minded they can't even PRETEND in order to see a point of view different from their own, so wrapped up in their certainty that anything that threatens it must be stupid or evil.

You can't possibly think that you are even close to being correct in the conclusion that you just made.

I just wanted to start a new thread to have a place to just ..... about stuff that irritates you. Try to leave big important political topics out of this. That's what the OUTSIDE is for!

I have the wonderful task of being a cashier at a grocery store while I go to college to get a better job. On a daily basis, an item won't scan. The customer always says "Huh Huh! It must be free!" Whatever you do, if you have a soul, don't say this. Do you have any fricking idea how many times a day we have to hear this trite crap? It's all I can do to keep from snapping and putting on my sarcastic hat.

"Wow! Look at you! You are sooooo cleaver! Yes, you're right! It must be free! I've never ever heard that before in my entire life! You're a comedic genius!!! I beg to father your children!!!"

Your turn...

I'm a supervisor at the big orange home improvment store, and I get this one alot...one time i said, "yeah i think it is...why don't you walk out the front of the store with it and see what happens...just to be sure."

Here is my complaint. I hate smug passive aggressive wannabee corporate types who are trying sound more professional by talking like a manager. Phrases that really annoy me "can you action that for me?"...what does this mean? Last time i checked action wasn't a verb, and you were an .........oh wait a second you're still an a-holio.
"touch base" as in "Can you touch base with me later so we can start actioning that...We really need to move the needle on this one."...sure why not...and did i mention that i hate you, and wish you had a really itchy sort of infection.

The outrageous overuse of the word "issue". If it is a problem, THEN CALL IT A PROBLEM.

Forced diversity training.



.

at the home depot we call problems oppurtunities....and it makes me die a little inside.
and the forced diversity training is a joke...if you need diversity training, you shouldn't be allowed to step out of the house because you're an idiot

I really dislike this thread.

Why would anyone read 15 pages of whiney complaints about everything from politics to their underwear being too tight? For the love of everything holy. What is wrong with you people? Is this supposed to be fun?

And as an exercise in the ironic, some bung rider is now going to complain about my post. Because it's the "complaint thread".

To hades with this thread. It serves no purpose.

People who start out a sentence with: "I'm sorry, but" and then state their opinion. WHY are they APOLOGIZING?!?!
Never EVER be "sorry" about your opinion or feelings! Are they THAT concerned AHEAD OF TIME that they may
OFFEND somebody?! If the opinion makes the recipent break down and cry and turn into a gelatinous emotional pool
on the floor and end up in a psych ward, then MAYBE the person can say "I'm sorry I caused you such grief". (What
would be better, though, is "I'm sorry you're such a damn weakling". A pair. Grow them.)

Nutshell and succinct: Never start a sentence with "I'm sorry" when followed by an opinion.

It serves a great purpose. It is a place for people to vent and relieve stress who otherwise have no outlet. Stating these facts to yourself is pointless and relieves no stress. Being able to type them out here and share annoyances with others who have similar annoyances has a calming effect, like vaping.

People who start out a sentence with: "I'm sorry, but" and then state their opinion. WHY are they APOLOGIZING?!?!

To all the people who apologize by saying "I'm sorry" instead. The proper response to that is..."Yes you are." Also, quit apologizing ahead of time for events that have not happened yet ("I'm sorry if...").

FWIW: you can change your settings to the amount posts you can view in one page... so you could read 4 pages if 15 is too much

and another benefit is its a good round up spot making it easier to create a "list" (whatever that means )

I'm not responding because it's pointless... useless complaining.

Pot Pies. Convenient as a part of a quick meal, or just a snack by itself.

Am I the only one who thinks it's odd that you can't buy anything BUT white meat chicken pot pies? Also true for other prepared chicken dishes. Who made the decision that everybody only wants white meat chicken? ( a complaint a day, lol)


On the other hand, the Deli has some great fresh baked pot pies which are an exception.

No clue where you are shopping, but around here you can get white meat chicken as you stated, but also turkey, some have dark meat (chicken or turkey), and i've seen but not tried beef, although it does look good.

Maybe our grocery stores are just better stocked in SC.

Damn, now i want a turkey pot pie, guess my complaint is i don't have any here at the moment.

I'll play...

* Bicyclists who (blindly) go through a parking lot entrance without looking back to see if they are likely to be run over by someone turning in!
* Little cars which sound like lawn mowers!
* Calling a support line and barely able to understand the person on the other end.
* The average teenage driver!
* Anonymous people who get off on creating problems for someone else!
* My job being replaced by someone in India!
* Rude people!
* Someone who has no kids giving me advise on how to raise my child!!!
* Rebellious smokers who always say "You gotta die sometime!"
* My father not knowing his own Granddaughter!!!!!!!!

Many more if I had more time.

ahhh - I feel better! Thanks for starting this thread. It's somewhat therapeutic.

Todays pet peeve:

Today, I received a "package" from American Express. It was a cardboard box about half an inch thick six-seven inches wide and 5-6 inches tall. The sides were reinforced with Styrofoam to give it a slightly bulky feel. It was incredibly difficult to open and inside...

a new credit card?
a shiny pony?

A booklet on how great it is to be a gold card member of American express.

I don't have an American Express card. Im a gold member of nothing. Hehe.

I just stared at the packaging and its meager unimportant contents and couldn't not wrap my mind around the resources that went into what lay before me. The concept design, the workers to mass produce it, the shipping.

FOR JUNK MAIL!!!!


( I threw the package out and since then there's half eaten pasta on it so no photo...sorry. I really should have taken a photo of this complete waste of time and money. )

LMAO too funny I think some people use junk mail to line the bottom of bird cages, if they don't toss it immediately.

Hate all type of junk/advertisement mail esp car insurance flyers, major car insurance companies seem to send me the most.

* Calling a support line and barely able to understand the person on the other end.

You can ask to speak to an american. I always find it funny when an indian tells me their name is "Kevin". After asking them to repeat themselves twice, then I ask to speak to an american.

* The average teenage driver!

I believe the streets would be safer if you could only drive a motorcycle/scooter until you were age 21. That would also make more people take caution to two wheel drivers.

* My job being replaced by someone in India!

That's what we get for teaching our youth to get the best deal they can instead of buying american made quality. So as long as you keep buying from the big companies when they ship jobs overseas, they don't give a crap.

And I'm proposing that from now on, whenever you refer to a nickname of walmart, that it is now referred to as Chinamart instead. Oh yes, Sam would turn in his grave if he saw how they treated their employees and what it has done to this nations economy.

Here's one for today.

I CAN'T STAND when someone says to me "Welcome to MY World" ...Never realized mine was such a "walk in the park."

I got a female one time who said, "Hello, I'm Sandy". I asked if it was windy.
