The Trivial Complaints Thread... number 2!

My chair broke

It's a steel folding chair we've had in the family since like the 80s. One of the cross bars (is that the right word?) was rusted up and finally came loose. Worse, when it went I put my hand out to catch myself and my hand hit the kitchen floor and I jammed my wrist. My right wrist, which is also riddled with carpal tunnel and possible arthritis so it really very much hurts now a lot. And I'm still sculpting this pony custom. Luckily the Biofreeze helps.

I was able to buy a new folding chair but it is so much lighter than the old ones. It said it's steel so it must be, just thin steel. I'm afraid I'm going to break it too

My arm is still sore from my booster shot. 
It's beautiful and sunny but tomorrow it's going to rain for days....

I must have fallen harder than I thought when the chair broke yesterday because boy does my hip and leg hurt today. I was going to walk down and get the mail but I don't think I can

we have poison ivy in my yard...   

[lovesbabysquirmy]

our downstairs tenant decided to break our lawn mower by driving it full force into a fire hydrant.  the grass is about 2 feet high , so we asked him to mow, and he got about 10 feet into mowing a strip down before he encountered a navigational hazard. 

so I am now certain the city bylaw is going to fine us for the yard, AND now the stupid mower won't start anymore, and my husband really is not interested in taking it apart and adding to his very long list of things to do.  Lawn mowers are expensive... and I don't think we have enough grass to hire a herd of goats.  I may know where the hedge clippers are, but at this point I might as well nicely ask a neighbour... aaaaaaaaaaargh.

Today it was 38C here in Texas. Want to swap places?

My mom and I got in a fight today.  We had stopped at the store for a few things and my dad left us in the checkout lane and said he was going to bring the car to the front of the store.  When we were done checking out my mom decided to go out the opposite door rather than the one we came in.  I told her that we came in the other door so the car was probably close to that one but she continued to walk out the other door. We had to walk all the way to the first door to get to the car and by then my dad had gone back in the store to look for us because he thought we were taking to long. That's what stated the fight. 

My mom said that I had been arguing with her/criticizing her all week.  I can't make her understand that she tells me one thing and then contradicts it later and then when I try to tell her about it, I'm the one in the wrong. We apologized to each other but it still has made me feel bad most of the day.

One of my stupid co-workers.  Just    AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Browsing today and noticed that there are a looot of ponies which are posted on tradera (like swedish ebay) by thrift shops. So Instead of being able to go and find toys in physical shops, they get sold on auction for $$$ which just seems kind of scummy in some way

I'm ticked. I sent two breyer stablemates and some stickers as a surprise gift for a friend and her kid, and some no good, PoS employee stole the contents out of it before it reached them. WTF? Who steals from a little kid?

My case worker no showed on our Zoom meeting. She didn't call or anything either. I waited 45 minutes. I didn't have anything new to tell her but I could have been doing something else, like working on my custom instead of getting ready and waiting for the meeting to start.

I went to screenshot the package tracking for a claim, SOMEBODY added to the tracking, because it was out for delivery and Most CERTAINLY did not GO to Florida in the original. Not to mention some of the dates are backwards. The staff was so unhelpful too. Those morons!

Amazon, having an odd moment. Just that...

I ordered some things for my mother the other day. They're actually for my Dad, but it's complicated.

Normally there's no problem, but this time, I don't really know what's going on.

One half of the item arrived yesterday. The other half didn't.

I got an email telling me that I'd asked to split the order - which I didn't.

Today, on my orders page, the half of the order that arrived says 'in transit' and it says it will arrive today or tomorrow. The other half says 'was due 14th June'.

...The order total at present says that nothing was paid for the items. As though it were cancelled, although it hasn't actually been.

I tried to speak to someone on their chat thing. Three assistants got mysteriously cut off with 'technical issues' once they started to look into the issue.

The item in question isn't something anyone sane would want to steal. It is large so it may be that it just didn't get on the van yesterday. It's not a massive problem if it's delayed. But all of this is...very confusing o.O.
