The trivial complaints thread

I seem to have lost almost my ENTIRE ugly sweater collection. I only have about 5 that I can find.

I brought them to be dry cleaned at the end of the holiday season and I swore I put them all in a little cubby closet we have at home but now they don’t seem to be there. I’ve checked literally everywhere I can think to look and even asked my Grandma if she somehow ended up with them but they are nowhere to be found. I’m not sure how, but I fear they may have been accidentally donated. I’m going crazy and even questioning if I even picked them up from the dry cleaner?? I don’t know how I would forget but that dry cleaner is now out of business so there’s no way for me to check!

My collection was pretty sizable and I’ve been slowly collecting for years. Luckily I was able to find one of my most favorite ones on amazon since it was pretty new, but a lot of them were thrift store finds and likely one of a kind at this point. I won’t be able to ever really replace them. The two I’m going to miss the most were a couple of really lovely Nordic type sweaters. They don’t show up at thrift stores often and the two I had were some of my absolute favorites, I wore them all the time.

*Sigh* if nothing else I suppose I don’t have to feel guilty if I find others I want to buy. It’s not like I have too many anymore.

When your supermarket has this stunt where you receive an adorable little mini winter building when your groceries are €15 or over, and yours turn out to be €14,86.

I really wish to collect them all, but it's expensive enough as it is.

Woke up again with a massive headache that won't go away. Why does this happen so often?

Next time, borrow a young child when you go shopping - make sure they are charming and smile at the cashier - you are then in with a chance of getting extra goodies OR having the person in front of you giving you their freebie "would your kid like this?" 

It worked for me recently when M&S were giving away mini grocery toys

Haha, that's not a bad idea!

I ordered something from Amazon UK on Cyber Monday, it says it's supposed to arrive in 2-4 days but it has yet to be dispatched (I live in the US).  I'm sure they're behind their estimated dates due to lots of orders (which I get and I'm not annoyed about) but shouldn't they have adjusted the arrival dates at least a little bit?  I know there are ways to still get it here on time but I don't think it's going to happen.

Hermes said my parcel was out for delivery on Thursday but it's Monday and no sign of it

I bought coffee cups with lids in bulk so I could always enjoy my coffee on the go, but it turns out the styrofoam gives it a weird taste

Could you be grinding your teeth at night? I got a mouth guard and I sleep so much better and get no morning headaches anymore

Maybe. I have sleep apnea too which probably doesn't help.

They dispatched it today so it should arrive in about 10 days.  Now I sit back and wait...trying to be patient because I've been wanting this for a long while now.

I ordered some leggings on black friday and one of them is WAY too small to be the plus size I ordered/it's labelled as but customer service is being a massive pain about exchanging it for a size up.

also, hating Billie Eilish isn't a personality trait. oh my gods. just because she has a soft voice or an edgy aesthetic that isn't your preference doesn't mean she's a bad singer. she's just different. grow up.
