The Trivial Complaints Thread ... #3

[Ponyfan]

The air conditioning is frozen.   When the company called this morning, they asked if I thought it was frozen, but I said I didn't see any ice.  By the time the techs got here, there was ice on the inside.  The only way to fix it, is to turn the unit completely off and wait for the unit to unfreeze.  The techs said if we're lucky, it might thaw out by 11 pm tonight.  If it starts to freeze up again though, we have to turn the unit back off.  They also said it froze because my mom uses a humidifier at night.  Another hot night inside tonight.  I wish we could go to a motel.

I suggested that we turn the unit of when it started acting up, but my mom said she thought it was okay and just needed freon.

Sorry the AC isn't working. At my parents old house, ours would freeze all the time.

I've got a headache again. I always seem to get them around this time lately. I can't figure out why.

I do have some good news though, I got my thyroid medicine today Hopefully it won't take too long for me to start to feel better.

I have sores in my mouth again and my lips are all cracked and inflamed. I drank orange pineapple juice the other day and I think that's to blame. Man, can't even enjoy some citrus without problems

Why am I the only one complaining?

The fan blades in the living room ceiling fan have black fuzzy edges. I tried to clean them with an extendable Swiffer 360 duster, but it is stuck on. I don't have a step ladder or anything to reach them. Maybe maintenance can clean them for me?

i have a complaint

Hulu's prices are going up so we decided to cancel it. we've been purchasing our favorites stuff from AppleTV for years so we have a decent library. personally i can watch the same stuff over and over. streaming is such a rip off now. we're down to Prime and Apple. We use Prime for the free shipping too so at least that provides more value. And Apple is still pretty cheap. i'm cancelling if it goes up.  i'm trying to get rid of every subscription I can now or downgrade if it's something I have to have.

i know i've complained about this before but i'm so sick of subscriptions for everything. it's just a way to squeeze more money out of people and make quarterly reports look better. i'm also sick of "smart" devices that require apps. no i don't want to download an app for my blender. they never work well and i doubt there is much incentive for companies to maintain these apps after 1 or 2 years.

I got the notice about the prices going up for Hulu too.  I don't watch Hulu much anymore, but I'm not quite ready to cancel yet, because there are few things on there that I don't think are on other streaming services yet.

I feel really sad today.  We stopped by the mall for a bit earlier.  My mom had told me what she wanted for a present.  I got that and had planned on getting a couple of Funko Pops from Hot Topic and also some books from the bookstore.  Hot Topic didn't have the Pops I wanted.  I ended up leaving the bookstore without any books, because I decided to wait a couple more days since another book I want is coming out.  It was my choice not to buy books today, even though I could have. So why do I feel so sad?

I'll just order the Pops I wanted from Amazon.

I also hate subscriptions. And I hate that you have to have subs for every different service because things are scattered between them. But the subs I hate the most are software ones. That is absolutely not for the benefit of customers. Pay once and then pay again every year to keep that software running. Yuck.

Pancake fail!!!

I use Hulu with ads, that's staying the same. Netflix keeps going up though. I think it's up to $17. I get a discount on Prime because I have an EBT card. Those are my only subs. I like Tubi and Pluto TV too, those are free.

My complaint. I have a small thin cut on my finger. Might be a paper cut? Or maybe I snipped it with the tip of the scissors. It hurts so much! It's also very dry in here, my lips are cracked.

I’m having car trouble and may have to buy a new vehicle.  With a car payment my collecting days may be gone, or at least it may be a long while before I can add to my collection😞

I have a blister on top of a blister on my left pinkietoe.

Everyone up for another Taffeta bus rant? No? Well, tough xD.

So the new bus began at the start of last week, when we were in London. We've been using it these last few days, and genuinely, our area is the best placed on the route because it's pretty much the midpoint. It means that in terms of getting to the main centre, we have more buses than we did before. BUT the frequency of buses to the local market town and the hospital has been reduced, and frankly, they're unworkable.

So Wednesday night is meant to be the bus user group meeting. It's on the other side of the borough - about 8 miles (which is a fair distance when you have no car), and will cost us around £20 ($30 in conversion) in taxi fares there and back if we decide to go. Even if we do, however, the people responsible for all the crazy chaos have decided not to bother attending.

There are so many people who have had their whole lives messed up by these unexpected and badly informed changes, and now the people who say they are on the side of residents refuse to even attend the group that's meant to represent them. (Although it doesn't, but that's another matter).

Arrogant. High handed. Brats.

And that's all I have to say.

I have a pain in my upper left side and partly my back. It's been hurting all day. It feels like a sore muscle but all I did yesterday was laundry. Maybe I somehow pulled it or something when I was putting clothes into the dryer.

My appetite is still bad. I didn't eat yesterday and I didn't want to eat today but I had a bowl of cereal.

I really don't feel well. I think the antibiotics are taking a lot out on me. My infection has gotten less red but not much else has happened.

did not sleep well last night.

My parents are driving me crazy.    We're still having trouble with my elderly dog and my dad has made it very clear that the accidents have to be cleaned up right away or my mom might slip and fall.  Last night the dog had had an accident while we were eating.  No one stopped to clean it up except me. I simply asked were the old towels and rags were that we use for that purpose and we could only find one.

Also, 2 of the Funko Pops I was going to order from Amazon sold out on release day.
