This is non-specific, so air your grievances all up in here.

Posting mine in a comment for the sake of keeping the thread open to all.

Ever have one of those days where literally everything seems to be going wrong? 'CAUSE I'M HAVING ONE OF THOSE. Even something as simple as grocery shopping went horrifically wrong, as they gave me bags without handles and it was too much to carry, so of course the one I drop is the one with the nice dinner wine in it. That shattered and got all over the produce. And somehow in doing so I bent one of my fingernails back to the point that it bled? So that's pretty sore now.

And then I find out that one of the Christmas gifts I got my wife that blessedly came in just in the nick of time (an imported game she's been wanting), but lo and behold, when I open the package, it's not the right game. It's not even for the right system!

And just now the blender broke. Just...broke. Not sure why. It just decided it hates me and doesn't feel like working anymore. Which sucks, because I really needed a couple of things blended for them to work in my recipe, so I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do now.

I need to vacuum but I'm half-afraid the thing's going to blow up on me. Wish me luck. Ugh.

People leaving carts out stranded in the street rather than putting them where they go. Even more so when they're left in the grassy spots (hard as hell to pull back out onto the road).

I am the person who has to go get them and take them into the building so people can use them again. I was out in cold rain today pulling carts out of grassy areas and trying to get them all back into the empty cart area inside during holiday rush.

Moral: Put your carts where they belong , in the corrals. It's called being fucking considerate.

Well, you'll be thankful to know that I return every abandoned cart I saw, especially if they had money in them.

i really don't understand why people do that. along with being inconsiderate, it's so incredibly lazy. i genuinely sometimes do not understand how people can stand themselves for being so pathetic. it's like, a 30 second walk with a cart, jesus.

My sister's in-laws are kind of awful, especially her husband's brother. And they all live very close to each other, the brothers work together, and have small children very close in age (3 and 2 and 18months).

I'm not comfortable sharing more than that, except that last night this recurrent drama resurface and the brother broke one of their windows and they called the cops on him. It was never violent before. They aren't filing charges, and brother paid to fix it, but this whole situation is just all kinds of terrible. :(

Yikes. Sorry to hear of your family's troubles. At least it's over for another year? (Or maybe it isn't IDK; I assume so, b/c you were talking about Chanukah upthread.)

Some in-laws are worth more than their weight in gold. Then there are the in-laws who are referred to as "the out-laws" by everyone in the family. (As one of my parents was.)

I hope it's over, because of the holidays and my sister's husband's birthday is the 27th. They just have the worst timing for their drama bombings- the wedding/day after the wedding, my niece's first birthday, the parents-in-laws' 40th anniversary cruise, and now Christmas eve.

My family is Jewish and his family is non-denominational Christian (and not particularly religious). In fact, this even has been kind of a factor in their arguments, where it really seems more that the brother is just ignorant and not anti-Semitic, but it was still shitty. Sister, to us: "Guess what, my lovely non-Jewish husband just made us some really yummy latkes!"

All of this is just hard because they all live and work in NorCal and we are in SoCal. So I never see them, everything's second-hand, and it's just such a mess. ;___;

NAYRT - Have you ever tried visiting them on a non-holiday, or asking them to do so? Or is that not an option? :/ Sounds like it sucks, though. I do hope your sister's husband isn't like his family. (Though you'd wonder why he would put up with that. Normally I'm all for putting family before romance, but if my family treated my husband and his family like that, they'd have to answer to me.)

With the exception of the wedding, which was in SoCal where they met, none of this has occurred while we were actually there with them. Obviously we are terrible people because we aren't driving 300 miles to see them every weekend. :( We would have been there for the birthday, but my dad was having a serious health issue and couldn't travel, not like that matters at all! *eyeroll*

The husband is not at all like his family, he is extremely laid-back and adaptable. The thing is, I think his family has some weird expectations of him based on what he was like as a teen (gothy and way more into media) and they think my sister has ~changed~ him; when really he's just grown up and matured like a normal person and they (especially his brother) haven't.

The other problem is that if the husband tells his mom anything about his feelings or how he wishes things were, it's immediately going to be distorted by being passed from the mother, to the brother's wife, to the brother. So he doesn't even have support there. :( I know he'd just like everybody to be friends.

my motherfucking job.

it's sad to have people calling into your job crying on the fucking phone because your employers screwed them at xmas time. i got off work yesterday and cried because these people were suffering and couldn't do shit for their kids at xmas because we took their money. i need a new job, it's fucking depressing, i cannot deal with it anymore.
