Complaining/Vent Thread

[(Anonymous)]

What it says on the tin!

Re: Complaining/Vent Thread

[(Anonymous)]

The world is extremely stupid and awful and aggravating and I don't care for it one bit

Re: Complaining/Vent Thread

[(Anonymous)]

My pettiest day-to-day vents:

-My apartment has one washer/dryer per floor. I get fuuuurious when people don't take their stuff out right away to free it up for other people to use. Recently someone left their shit in the washer for like two hours, I kept going back to check for it. I don't have the balls to take it out and throw it on the floor or something (there's no communal hamper) but. urgh.

-When people take up both "lanes" on escalators. I can almost forgive tourists for not knowing that in big cities, especially for trains/metro/subway/etc., one side is for walking and the other for standing. But I don't forgive the people who decide they are walking but because they don't see anyone else, they leisurely at a snail-pace stroll down the very middle, and I'm trying to get to my train. Usually they are listening to music loudly so don't hear me right behind them.

-When people in my tiny apartment's gym decide they are too good for headphones so blast their music on loudly. I hate your music. I want to listen to my music.

-Dog owners who pretend they totally don't see their dog shitting, so they can move on without picking it up. Also, dog owners who think it's cool to let their dog run around without a leash in any other area besides their own yard or a designated dog park. Especially their huge hyperactive dogs.

Just take it out and pile it on the dryer (if the dryer is clean) - you don't need balls, that shite is *rude as fuck*. So glad i don't have to do my laundry in a public space anymore.

Non-cleaning-up dog owners are the fucking worst.

some old bat in a Mercedes damn near ran me over when I was trying to cross the street (WITH the light!) in front of my apt bldg. I said "just because you have a Mercedes...." and she squawked "I DIDN'T SEE YOU!!" like that meant it was OK.

Re: Complaining/Vent Thread

[(Anonymous)]

You were in no way wrong to be upset, and she really should've just said "I'm so sorry."

But "just because you have a Mercedes..." does imply that you thought she DID see you and was just too snobby and self-entitled to give a fuck. So I understand why her response was to say that she didn't see you.

I sold something on eBay and right after the auction was over, the buyer contacted me asking if they could delay payment until late September because they didn't have the money at the moment. They had placed their bid days before the auction ended. That kind of behavior drives me crazy.

Re: Complaining/Vent Thread

[morieris]

I hope you said no.

Re: Complaining/Vent Thread

[(Anonymous)]

I hope you said no, too. I don't know what you were selling, but I doubt it was an absolute necessity. People who want to buy random stuff on eBay shouldn't do it if they can't afford it.

Re: Complaining/Vent Thread

[(Anonymous)]

That's ridiculous. I don't know why anyone would expect an auction to work like that. If they'd wanted such an arrangement, they should've contacted you BEFORE bidding to see if you'd be amenable to extending the end date or something.

We might have to put our cat down. We got an appointment for the vet but I think she has a neurological disorder. Sometimes she goes nuts and attacks herself violently for no reason. She has been ripping out fur and making herself bleed. I am worried she is going to do it around my niece and hurt her OR our other pets.

Re: Complaining/Vent Thread

[morieris]

Oh no :( I hope something can be done short of putting her down.

Re: Complaining/Vent Thread

[(Anonymous)]

One of my friends was really upset because a problem with a friend and we're downright upset and freaking out and I've been through that same kind of problem but I didn't have the heart to tell them that it might not get better and they might have to move on. I hate being unable to help my friends.

Re: Complaining/Vent Thread

[rosehiptea]

This bout of depression is kicking my ass. I keep spending money on myself that I can't afford in a vain attempt to "cheer myself up." I think most of what I need is friends though and you can't buy friends. (Well, being rich gets you friends but I'm not rich.)

Also the guy who did my tattoo is probably not going to fix it and I'm afraid to ask anyone else to fix it. I think this is part of what's making me depressed, even though people have much worse problems, even much worse tattoo-related problems, so I should probably just keep wearing long sleeves and stop thinking about it.

There, two vents for the price of one.

TW: Suicide

[(Anonymous)]

Two of my closest friends have attempted suicide recently and my partner is getting that low too. I know I'm helping them as much as I can but I still feel powerless and like it's not enough.

Re: Complaining/Vent Thread

[(Anonymous)]

I live on the second floor of a house, with the roof of the lower porch just outside my front bedroom windows. I'm always concerned about it, because I know it is easy enough to climb from the porch to the roof and then into my windows. However, the last few days it sounds like an animal (likely a raccoon from what the neighbors have said) has been climbing all over it. And it is freaking me out, despite having closed my windows (in the summer! Ugh!) so it can't get in.

My roommate had a party on Saturday night and STILL hasn't swept or washed the floors. Why are so many people disgusting slobs?

The new Coke Zero is way sweeter than the old Coke Zero.

RIP best Coke

Fuck Smokers. Alcoholics, as long as you aren't driving and/or hurting anyone else, I don't care. Other drugs, again, as long as you aren't hurting anyone else, don't care. But smoking is fucking gross.

I had to sit next to a guy who clearly was a heavy smoker today for an event because we were both doing the same role and needed to sit together. He reeked. By the end of the event, I had a migraine. When I came out to the car, I smelled like smoke, and now my car smells like smoke. Gross. I'm sorry, but smoking is a nasty habit and when you smell of it, just by being out in public you are forcing your disgusting habit on everyone else.

(I feel the same way about people who wear a lot of perfume)

CW: Mentions of self-harm

[(Anonymous)]

I'm going to preface this with how I love my cat. He's sweet and laid back. But he's not a cuddler, which I could really use with how stressful my home situation is (controlling and abusive--my grandfather's housemate literally backed me into a corner once, screaming at me about how I should listen to her and change our entire diet to a much more expensive one because she "only had two years to live"--I was curled up and sobbing and she knew I was already low and contemplating self harm which is why my wife was in the kitchen with me).

So we had one, it was the housemate's daughter's cat that was abandoned. She was a sweet tortie and basically my dream cat. The problem being she was still a kitten, so she has high energy. I kept telling people she needed toys and her not settling down to sleep would fix itself. Instead of housemate getting off her ass, stopping her smoking and drinking and YouTube watching from the time she woke up until about 6PM when she'd go to the bar, she rehomed the cat. Because effort. She didn't even try. And now I no longer have something sweet to curl up with me and help me through anxiety attacks because my cat... Doesn't do that, and his idea of affection is sitting five feet away from you in the same room. It's stupid and petty, but now said housemate is going on and on about how she didn't WANT to give up the cat but she HAD to. Fucking CHRIST, if you'd actually fucking listened to me and GOT THE CAT SOME TOYS, we wouldn't have had to rehome her so you can sit on your lazy goddamned ass, drinking and smoking in the garage all day!

My guts suck and the past few days I feel sort of gas-crampy after I eat anything at all. Toast? Cramps. Yogurt? Cramps. It happens sometimes and usually resolves itself after a couple days, but it sucks.

Re: Complaining/Vent Thread

[(Anonymous)]

My newish boss is best friends with my roommate, who I have to convince to move out fairly soon, and my new boss doesn't like me, partly because I'm a difficult employee who will do things she doesn't like, like complain when she reaches into her own wallet to balance the register and insists I not do the proper paperwork, but also because when I vent about my job, my roommate will report back to my boss. The only reason they're not working together is they're too good of friends and the higher ups won't let them, and one of their favorite things to do is conspire to fire people... I'm scared.

Also, one of my hens is beginning to grow a lovely long rooster tail. Roosters are illegal here, which is why I paid extra to have them sexed. I guess I could get a rooster collar to muffle his (not yet begun) crowing and maybe get him castrated, if there's any vets around who would do it. If I could find him a home, all his offspring would be Easter Eggers, he's a purebred Ameraucana. But I'm worried he'll just end up at the animal shelter until he's put down, or in a stewpot.

I've been exercising a lot more lately, but I haven't lost a damn bit of weight. I know I really need to change my diet, but I've never had any success at that before, and I find it a lot harder than exercising. :(

Re: Complaining/Vent Thread

For background I am living at home post college graduation but will hopefully be moving out soon.

So shortly after getting home from work today my cat drinks some water too fast and then throws up on my bed. Okay, annoying, but I just go to wash the sheets. ...And then the washing machine breaks while I am washing them. It won't drain or spin, and what really sucks is I KNOW it was working earlier in the day cause I had to move through a load of towels my mom had started in order to wash my sheets. So my sheets are sopping wet, and I just know my mom is going to get mad at me and spin this as me breaking the machine - when its not that cause the machine broke last year the exact same way, when I wasn't living here, and I didn't do anything out of the normal for doing laundry. I tried to wake her up to tell her, but she was deep asleep and I know waking her up will just piss her off more. So I will have to tell her before I leave for work tomorrow, and I am already dreading it.

At least I found a spare set of sheets.

I really really hate my sister right now. She has so many issues about what she can and cannot eat, how she has to travel and people she can stand to be around. So every single birthday party I invite her to she adds a good day to my planning time. And if she isn't feeling it she just doesn't show up.
