The trivial complaints thread

[Ponyfan]

I get respiratory illnesses a lot and I'm sick again.

I finnished a great book yesterday and I miss it. The weather today is perfect for reading that story. I'm not sure what I want to read now,

I recommend "Stalking Jack the Ripper."  It's good and great for Halloween time!

My trivial complaint is that I'd rather stay home and paint some more.  If I get time later I'll post pics of what I've been working on.

My trivial complaint of the day is people coughing or sneezing into their hands. It's like they want to spread it.

And men spitting on the ground. Swallow! SWALLOW! Use that primal mechanism, please. Why are they doing this? And 'best' is when they do it right in front of you like some animal marking its territory. Even 'better' when they snort and really collect that snot before they spit...

The only thing I can think is that they want to appear more "alpha" as in, trying to assert their dominance or something. I dunno, as a dude and I absolutely do not condone nor fully understand this behavior.



My trivial complaint is that my university decided to roll out this "two-factor authentication", which means any time you want to login to one of their websites you have to tap a notification on your phone or w/e. I get it, it's much more secure but gosh it's inconvenient!

My insurance is refusing to pay for my medicine because they say I already reached the maximum amount they will pay for. I wouldn’t need a prescription if I wasn’t sick.

Ugh...I hate dealing with insurance.  They said I didn't need a brace for my knee because the surgery was successful but my doctor said that a brace was necessary for the first year after to keep it safe.  But the insurance rep who might not have graduated high school definitely knows more than the surgeon who's been practicing for 20+ years.  And I only need 20 sessions of physical therapy (that I still have to pay for) each year.  Yeah...if I could have walked on my own I wouldn't have needed surgery or physical therapy in the first place.

Still want to paint...have an hour of work left.

Bruised my right wedding finger yesterday putting down a folding bunker lid that slammed on my hand. I honestly feared my fingernail was going to drop off in the night, but I think it's just bruised on the nailbed. VERY damn tender, I can't put much pressure on it

Without dragging this thread into the controversial mire of politics, I'll leave it up to your varied imaginations.

Someone posted this on their fb wall as a perfect example of what's going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlVu7Y5m5JQ

Thanks for the tip  . I can't find the book or the author on the library webpage unfortunaly, I only found it in online bookstores but I'm not in a position to buy any books now. But I put it down on my list of tips, so hopefully I'll get the chance to read t it later . I ended up beginning to read Two Sisters by Åsne Seierstad. It's written like a novel but is in fact the true story of a SomaliNorwegian family whos two teenage daughters got radicalised and went to Syria to join the Islamic State and their dad who went after them to take them home. It is really interesting and heartwrenching.


Complaint of the day: My regular headache got a friend on the opposite side. My sinuses are stuffed as well. Lovley day today.

Absolutely no kidding on this. My mother has a compromised immune system and a lot of respiratory issues and she's just come down with another cold because people cannot cough behind their hands, I guess...

Last one of those she had she ended up in hospital for a week with pneumonia. I really hope it isn't one of those colds.

@Beldarna, no kidding. Although there would need to be far more mudslinging and backbiting to make that clip really reflective.

@Ponyfan - the insurance system sounds horrible. With all that's going on here, politically, and who is making the decisions, or trying to, I really worry we might end up with that kind of system in the future.

I would sooner die than have an American-style health care system. I will take to the streets and riot if they get rid of the NHS. I am absolutely not joking.

Complaint: Poor birb has a bad tummy and needs to go to the vet :c I hate stressing her, but last time she had a bad tummy, she needed medication, so she needs to go this time as well. Old girl won't be happy with me tomorrow

And the insurance saga continues... My dr's office said they won't do anything without a paper fax and when I called the pharmacy (4th time I've called them now) they said they don't send paper faxes only electronic ones. I just want to get my medicine so I can get better

If that truly is connected to showing dominance I have to laugh because no man I know finds that threatening. Disrespectful, maybe.
It always strikes me as a childish way to show how rebellious you are. Like "I drink, spit n smoke and you can't stop me, mum!!!" or yanno, they are just trying to gross people out like 5 year olds Certainly works on me. Next time I'll spit back and watch the reaction

My birthday hasn't gone well

It's a lot better than last year, I didn't have to put a pet to sleep, but overall it still turned out to be a bad day. At least I have some yummy sushi.

[Ponyfan]

Finally got my prescription but had to use Good Rx since my health insurance  wouldn’t pay for it. It ended up costing double than when the insurance pays part of the price but far less than it would have without Good Rx.

It's raining. No wait, let me rephrase that....it's RAINING ELEPHANTS!  There's already a foot of water in the parking lot and it's not gonna slow down for at least 3 hours. If I'd known, I'd have brought my waders!
