The trivial complaints thread

i'm really sick of sellers claiming they ship from the UK when they actually ship from china or japan.
It's like ebay don't even care anymore.

Grrr I'm finding that chocolate tastes awful recently - I take a bite, chew, then spit it in to the bin - texture way too waxy! Why don't they just stick with cocoa butter instead of messing about with palm oil!?!?!

Actually - could this be a blessing in disguise?

Very annoying - I usually click on the postage tab and see the estimated times for delivery - a clue if the seller is indeed internationally based!

its actually against ebay policy to mislead buyers over where the item comes from and if you look at their feedback profile, it tells you where they are really from. Still IOts really annoying.

Why do people at Subway bother to ask if I want egg white on my breakfast sandwich when they're going to put whole egg on it anyway?  Four of the last five sandwiches that I've requested egg white on have had very yellow eggs.  Do they not teach colors in kindergarten anymore?

And another thing. WHY won't my dad talk to me.?! He calls my brother but my emails go unreplied to and so do my texts. He's just stopped communication for no reason!!

he loves playing mind games with people so you can't talk to him or get mad as he twists it round and throws it back at you. All my life hes been like this but I thought things where improving.

Really want to punch something right now.

I did not give it permission to rain/hail during my 6 mile walk. At least it was only 15 minutes.

I'm sorry, that does sound like a really troubling situation.

You're totally free to not answer if it's too personal, but have you tried going low/no-contact with your father? He honestly sounds like he's pretty toxic towards you.

It's past midnight and I have to be up in less than 5 hours for a 9 hour shift... but I can't sleep because I had a fight with my boyfriend and I'm on the couch trying not to cry.

People need to leash their dogs and pick up their poop... Irresponsible dog owners.. *grumble grumble*

I just had a confrontation with the caterer today that screwed up my lunch order for an important seminar, feeding a bunch of social workers and community leaders 80 percent of whom are muslim and they called me an excessive complainer for insisting they replace the pork with the sandwiches i actually ordered. I ended up missing the key piece of the presentation armwrestling with the delivery person who tried to make off with all 40 sandwiches when she only brought me 16 replacements and today her manager wouldn't even give me a token discount on the next order for tomorrow, or even say sorry (and i'm beginning to wonder if the entire debacle was not a mistake but deliberate ethnic discrimination but it could just be bad service). I had to switch out to another caterer on like, zero notice and i think it's going to be ok but i couldnt stop steaming over it. Then on the way home i dropped in to my ThriftTown where all the workers know me and somehow they were all even better to me than usual and i had a few fun other customer interractions and i'm all fixed up now. (Left the only mlp there, an AJ brushable but found a bunch of cool tiny horses in intetesting poses yay!) So, pony hunting therapy to the rescue.

I am starting to suspect that xylitol gives me wicked vertigo.

We have a beautiful lawn in front of and behind our flat. It's like a paradise. So of course they mow it everytime it starts to become REALLY beautiful, with little flowers everywhere. They have been mowing our lawns at least four(!) times in one month. WHY!? Does it really HAVE to look like a perfectly flat carpet, with no "flaws" like, FLOWERS?

Sorry for the caps. This gets to me.

My keyboard is dead and since i won't pay $30 to ship the order i placed, i won't get my new one til the 12th. My sanity is holding by a thread.

I work with someone who is super sensitive.  If I even suggest that she might have made a mistake (even though I know for a fact that she is the one that did it) she gets all defensive and comes up with scenarios where "whoever did it" probably wasn't paying attention but she would "never make a mistake like that."  It's so annoying.  She does a half-baked job on almost everything she does and I hate having to go behind her and do it right.  I have my own work to do!  And you can't talk to her about it because she gets butt-hurt and basically throws a tantrum.  And unfortunately, I'm assigned to do certain tasks with her so I can't just have someone else do it.

My dog farted so loudly it woke him up then he gave me a dirty look and blamed it on me. Then he wanted a treat!

Good one 

I miss my dog Lilly who died in March 


I hate the black rabbit of inlay for taking her. (Guess which movie and book it's from)
