The trivial complaints thread

[Pokeyonekenobie]

I really despise rude people.   

I was in the middle of something at work and when I looked up there was a man standing there.  So I said, "Hello."  And he cut me off with "Can. I. Help. You." said very slowly and deliberately as if I have a negative IQ. He didn't even give me a chance to ask if I could help him.  I really had to bite back the remark I wanted to make.  So I just looked at him and waited for him tell me what he wanted because I figured he wouldn't let me talk anyway.  Then he said he wanted to pay his fines (I work at a library) so I told him how much his fines were.  He pulled out a handful of bills, threw them on the counter and walked off. 

If you're going to expect someone to ask how they can help you, make sure you're someone people give a crap about helping.

I'm not a fan of door to door sales people, especially when their behavior is off. I had a guy show up at my workplace wanting to see me some carpet cleaner. He handed me a pamphlet about his product, and I politely told him I'd pass it along to my boss and if she's interested she'll contact the company. He said, "I don't want you to buy from the company, because the fat cats at the top of the chain will get all the money and I'll get nothing." 


He proceeded to tell me he wants me to buy from him directly. Suspicious....... I asked him to leave his contact info and that I'd pass it along. He told me he doesn't have a cell phone or anything, took the the pamphlet out of my hand and told me he'd stop back in a year.

^ Sounds almost like a scam.

My complaint is this headache that refuses to go away. It woke me up from a super deep sleep, I've taken some OTC meds and am rotating ice on my head and neck. If just the edge would ease off a little

I've got blue shade on my tablet to protect my eyes... I was getting bored sitting up in the dark waiting :/

I hope you're feeling better now.

I hate how no matter what kind of plans I make with my friends they are NEVER on time.  My friend and I have been planning to go to Comic Con for a month and she's still not packed.  We were supposed to get off work at noon and leave to go down, but she says she still needs about half an hour after that to finish up.  It's not like it was a last minute decision to go.  But it isn't just her.  When I've gone on trips with other friends, they make me wait up to 4 hours for them to finish packing because they can't decide which clothes they'll be in the mood to wear on this trip so they need to take their entire wardrobe and heaven forbid they start packing earlier than when we were supposed to LEAVE.  This is why I prefer to travel alone.  At least then I get to the things I want to do on time.

The other day I found the *perfect* pair of shoes for a doll, exactly what I'm looking for.. and they had sold out of the colour I wanted. The hunt continues..

People who look at their smart/iphone (or whatever those things are called) while cycling. Seriously, do you WANT do die!? Or do you want ME to die because you're too stupid to look at the other cyclists around you!?

Seriously, it's an illness. It's not just one or two, it has become a common sight. Don't people realise how dangerous that is!? The worst kind are the ones who use BOTH hands to text, they sit on their bike with NO hands on the steer, and they look down... Just what...?

I saw a guy doing that about a week ago. I agree it's a very disturbing trend.

It happens here too. I get it if you want to check the time real quick (I'm guilty of that) but people who text, or even facebook, while being out in traffic scares me a lot, and give us other cyclists more bad reputation.


Me and my neck are not friends at the moment. My back locked itself a week ago but it is totally fine now, it's just my neck refuse to loosen up and remains stiff and it spreads to my head adding to my constant headache.

Had a patron today ask why someone ahead of her in line couldn't go to the other desk to get a card.  I had to bite my tongue instead of telling her it was none of her business what the other patrons were getting help with.  Instead I told her that she always had the option of using the self-checkout machine.  She wasn't too happy with my answer and told me she was 'here yesterday' and it 'wasn't working'.  Um...we were closed yesterday so I would imagine it wasn't working.  Perhaps if she didn't believe that she needed someone to cater to her every need she wouldn't be such a nosy, crotchety busy body!

Someone is using my mouthwash

Everyone denies it.

I use a more expensive brand because it's the only one I can find that is cinnamon flavor. They all use the cheap mint stuff.

I marked the bottle with a Sharpie.

We'll soon see.

Oh Lord! People are getting stupider if it is even possible!

I put some tiger balm on my shoulder yesterday, forgot to wash it off before bed and now everything has this really weird overpowering medicine-ish menthol and cinnamon smell all over it.

Me too! Add to that the fact that most of them are blocked in China anyway.
