Tiny Complaints

My fridge won’t close properly so the carrots are frozen solid and the milk is warm.

I’m having a similar issue with my freezer door.

I had to step out of a meeting and separate the cats because I heard snarling. They were attacking each other.

Libby wants to verify my library card via my cell number but then says my library has no account linked. But won’t let me verify any other way??? Wtf?

We are closing at noon on Christmas Eve. We have two people that open us at 8, but two of us don’t come in until 8:30. My bitchy female boss is making us come in at 8 so we don’t get an extra 30 minutes off. Her much nicer husband would not have cared. She thinks he is too nice to us and gives us too much vacation time. At 15 years we go to 3 weeks and it never goes higher.

Oh for fucks sake.

turtlegirl · December 17, 2020, 8:33pm

Yup. 30 minutes.

Grand boss cancelled the christmas party.

Is this a complaint or a victory?

Powerpoint sucks. It sucks SO hard.
(My fault for expecting a Microsoft product to behave like a page layout program, granted.)

Guess you’re spending all day on the phone drinking Bailey’s

Clare-Dragonfly · December 17, 2020, 9:28pm

I should not store leftovers in opaque containers without labeling them. I couldn’t find my soup and thought I still had cashewgurt.

Do not read if bugs make you squeamish

Earwigs. In my shoes. This is one of the worst things in the history of ever.

Just got a Christmas present (presumably) delivered for the kids who lived here before we moved in. My realtor is… I believe CURRENTLY in labor. I have no other way to get ahold of them.

brute · December 17, 2020, 9:45pm

Actually a complaint. I like most of the people I work with in a social setting, plus I like the cringe-worthy awards handed out. It’s basically the dundies

Bracken_Joy · December 17, 2020, 9:50pm

Ah, it was false labor. She’s calling them as soon as she’s out of the hospital bless.

chaskavitch · December 17, 2020, 10:00pm

I would yell and throw my shoes, and then my 4 year old would come help, because he knows I hate hate hate them. Sometimes he kills them outside and says “I killed one for you because I know you don’t like them, mama.” It’s so cute.

I keep retyping your “worst things in the history of ever” completely unintentionally, haha.

Moar bugs

Summary

They’re, like, wiggly but shiny and kind of slimy but also pinchy and too leggy? I don’t know why it’s such a terrible visceral reaction. Earwigs and centipedes. Blech.

Bracken_Joy · December 17, 2020, 10:21pm

It’s absolutely a particular horror for me. And I KNOW why, but I will be nice to everyone and not share that story. Suffice to say, I have my Reasons and I think it would be fair of the Universe if it kept them the hell away from me. I’m plenty brave about plenty of things, can I please get this ONE BREAK?

chaskavitch · December 17, 2020, 10:23pm

Oh no, I’m sorry you have a real reason on top of the normal “they’re terrifying and weird” reason! That’s awful.

Everyone always assumes my hate comes from Star Trek, but I don’t think that explains it sufficiently.
