Tiny Complaints

Whine to them on social media and they might send you a gift card. No leaving the house required

I was 60% sure I’d spotted a big patch of ramps on the slope in front of the house, but when I hiked down there, it was just some weird ramp impersonator.

Not sure whether to classify this as a complaint or a victory, but as you know my house had a frozen pipe recently. We were scheduled to have a “water remediation specialist” come to the house between 10am and noon today. No one showed, so I called the contact number I had, and now I’m told that they will be here at 3pm.

I got a story about “they were just talking about” me, but it just goes to show that you have to stick up for yourself and hold others accountable.

Essay questions on Physics exams. Is it not enough that I know which equation to use and which numbers to plug in? Do you really need me to go on for 500 words in great detail to make sure I understand every in and out of each concept that I will never use ever again in my life? :roll_eyes:

I had a physics professor who wanted us to keep a physics diary where we could record (and presumably attempt to solve) the physics problems that occurred to us in every day life. They stopped letting him teach undergrads after that year.

NO.

My current professor makes us write extensive “learning journals” every module (so 3-4 times a week) about what we learned and struggled with, and expects great detail about the concepts so he can make sure we aren’t just solving the problems but actually understand what is happening. Dude. Of course I don’t understand what is happening. I don’t want to! I want an A and I will get there however I want even if it means just memorizing thank you very much!

My entire diary would just be me trying to figure how fast I needed to drive to get somewhere on time when I was late

Stack of complaints…

  1. Almost two weeks ago my car got hit. I’m perfectly fine, everyone is perfectly fine, but my car is a different story despite it being a ridiculously low-speed collision.
  2. They officially declared it totaled at the beginning of this week because somehow a 13 year old car is ‘too old’ to worth repairing (which I call BS on for a couple reasons, but no one cares what I think)
  3. I mailed the requested paperwork Tues, but somehow there was a problem that no one thought worth mentioning to me until I called today, and I now have to wait until they mail me an affidavit-of-something to sign and mail back which means at least another week until anything insurance-wise pays out.
  4. I’ve started looking around at available cars, and somehow the awd hybrid that looks the most interesting isn’t even available in my region because…reasons? It sort of seems like a thing someone might have use for in the mountains, but apparently not.

And the really annoying part is that if this had occurred in any other season I’d be a lot less unhappy about waiting around until something approaching the exact car I’d like showed up, especially since I’d much prefer something with a couple years of use. Unfortunately the place that I drive the most is up into the mountains for skiing which is pretty season-limited. Money-wise it’d be stupid to rush it, there’ll be another season next year, but it’s still annoying.

Your professor is probably trying to prevent students from just using Chegg for everything instead of learning any physics. Sucks for students like you who wouldn’t do that.

For the second week in a row, I have tried to get Ollie’s vaccines, shown up and waited in line only to be told the clinic is cancelled. This morning I woke up at 5:45 on my day off to get to the clinic early. I am so mad and now have to spend hours of my Saturday waiting at the other clinic that opens later

My grocery store used to give $5 off when you bought 5 of certain items. This week it’s $3 off when you buy 6 items. And they haven’t mailed coupons out in a while so I guess that’s done too. Do not like.

I’ve had a frustrating day so I decided to try something I haven’t done is a LONG TIME… scream into a pillow! How fun right?
Scream number one was nice. Scream two was nice too… so I told myself to do a third and then be done.
I was sick a few weeks back and something about scream number three sent me into seemingly endless coughing and now I feel ick.

So much for that.

stepped in a wet spot on the carpet (with socks on ew) of unknown origin, except it’s not unknown because literally the only thing it can be is pee…I just didn’t see or hear it happen. Which feels impossible because the puppy has not been out of eyesight in hours

I saw this in my local grocery store and…no. Just no

If it helps at all, I know from Oreos that the reason they keep coming up with new flavors is that the release of a new flavor boosts their sales overall so they sell more units of their standard flavors too.

That helps logically but not emotionally :joy:

(I absolutely hate the taste of peeps so I can’t get past my revulsion lol)

I am with you in peeps hate. Blech. But this does remind me that the silly contests of people doing peeps art are coming soon.

I don’t like peeps, but I would try this hoping for a cream soda/pepsi mouth party

I ran many Peeps photo contests for teens back in the day and loved putting together prize baskets with random Peeps stuff for the winners. I would have loved to include a Peeps beverage.
