Official COMPLAINT thread

[GypsySorcerer]

Let's see......I have two papers due by Monday and I have exactly one page written, total.

I have a friggin' mouse in my apartment.

My ass is too big.

That's it.

I hate when you get a call from one of your credit card companies at 8:30 am (I'm usually up at this time, but I don't want to talk to CC hounds). But the thing that gets me, this particular credit card my mother pays for me cause even though I'm on my own I still need help. But turns out she canceled it without telling me and they are calling to set up a payment plan.
WTF????? She's done crap like this before

1. my job and this cold, dank office I have to work in. It would depress anyone

2. Like Mari, I hate going home in the dark. I just hate the short days. I feel like a mole-I go to work and come home in darkness

3. Like Janet, I wish it would turn cold and SNOW!! If it has to be dark it can at least snow! hehe

I still have no Christmas spirit...

This guy who sits on the other side of an island from me is listening to audio LOUDLY - and when there's audio playing - he's whistling or humming - VERY annoying...

The guy in the apartment above me hasn't paid rent in five months- they're finally evicting him - and now he's being a complete jerk - stomping around - loud tv - etc...it's annoying...

There's a weird smell in my kitchen and I can't find the origin - and I"ve bleached the whole room top to bottom...

Working in Retail during the Holidays!! Nuff said right?


Idiots come in..like this lady the other day says "You guys dont carry any Narrow width's anymore...i used to could come here for Narrow shoes..now you dont have anything!" So I show her a narrow shoe and she goes "Well that ones ugly , doesnt help me.." So I show her tons more, and she says "of course all the ugly shoes come in Narrow."
lol

And we have a sign that says HOLIDAY SALE 30-40% Outlet Prices on Select Styles! (SELECT STYLES, DONT FORGET THAT PART!)

Of course when you ring someone up you always get someone who says "that was supposed to be 30-40% off" and i say "no only select styles..the ones with the red signs are the ones on sale.." and she says "WELL THAT SIGN IS DECEIVING!"

I hate some customers..MOST customers in fact

OMG - I don't miss my retail days - people try and get away with everything - they want stuff for free...I know enough now (from workign retail) to always read sale signs thouroughly....to avoid being an ass when I go to check out...


------

Now at my job I had a stupid person incident -

I went to press conference yesterday - arrived right after Channel 13 (tv station) - so the security girl lets them through then I tell her I'm also going to press conference and she says I have to go around the building - go through the metal detectors and stand in this HUGE line to get a pass....I ask why - the tv crew got in okay -

She says, "oh they're with the media...they have their gear...."

Okay, I says, "Yeah -I'm also with the media and i have MY gear..." So I show her my microphone and recorder and such (which is all official and clearly labeled from my station) - she says, "Well that doesn't prove anything you could have taken that from anywhere...."

At this point I"m getting pretty damn pissed off

So I ask her what her definition of media is - and she says I still have to go around...so I do because the press conference was about to start...

I go around and the metal detector guard open my bag, rolls his eyes and says, "follow me" so we go back to that idiot guard and the metal detector guy says, "She's with the press....it's obvious - she's got all the gear...the letter said to let all press in..."

The idiot says, "NO! It's said to let media in...er...I mean to let stations in..."

At this point i just got in her face and started yelling....I lost it...

I was like "What the hell do you think media is? Newspaper, radio and tv - what are you not understanding? Do you see this? It's a MICROPHONE - I don't have a damn TV camera - but I still work for the media..."

Also the other guards were yelling in my behalf to get me in - this one bitch wouldn't budge....finally the nice metal detector guard just got this stupid bit of paper - wrote WXXI on it - and the idiot let me through with that...I was SO mad...

My boss called the county when I got back and complained about the girl

I hate having one radio station to listen to that isn't overrated pop or Christmas music.

It's 40 at night and 70 during the day. No wonder I've been sick twice already. I wish this freakin weather would make up its mind. Wishing for snow would be a long shot, but some cold weather would be really nice.

I can't find jeans that fit. One size is too big, the other is too small.

I have a history final Monday and fifteen chapters to read before then.

I have a final essay due in English Friday at noon and I'm comparing Live in Boston to The Dance. I haven't watched either of them in their entirety. And somehow I'm determined to get away with it and actually write something that makes sense, then again the professor has no idea what I'm talking about so I can do that.

I really want to go to the library and check out a dozen books before the holidays but if I did I'd never study. So I'm putting that off until Monday.

My school's on academic probation for a year now because it doesn't live up to the guidelines for academic freedom. I feel like an idiot for ever going there.

Humidity = frizzy hair. Breakouts aren't on my list of favorite things either, but at least I can cover that up.

I have to move furniture this weekend.

Great idea for a thread, btw.

What an Ankle! (That's 3 feet below a C*#*nt) .....Sorry I hate when puny brains get a little power and can't handle it.

And on the lighter side.....


Three words that should be banned from Ebay descriptions.....RARE,,,
Must See..... They usaully aren't and not worth looking at..... If I see another "RARE Fleetwood Mac Rumours Albumn" (Gee they only printed...what 6 million?)......I may hire that ghost with the sandwhich to hex them.

we listened to a AC station last night while eating out, That has decided to play Christmas music non-stop...But the music they played was GREAT!!!! Alot of classic rock Christmas songs which was a change.


Another complaint I have is why in the Wide, Wide World of Sports does a great band like Queen release 4 two-disc DVD sets in about a years time (Greatest Video Hits 1 & 2, Live At Wembley & the just released On Fire-Live at The Bowl Milton Keynes 1982...That's 41 music videos and 2 complete concerts, With another concert set & Greatest Video Hits 3 on the way) and yet all we get from the Mac is the Live In Boston set???

You should have mentioned the service where you can take a hammer to her feet, spread them out a little and then she could fit a normal width shoe fine..
I hate working in retail at xmas... I get 1 day off in the two weeks around the 25th... Yes I get the 25th off!!!

[madformac]

Oh I forgot, as it's a complaint thread, I'm going to complain that every pen I pick up lately, the ink dries up.... I'm not kidding, it's starting to get to me...

Just thought I'd share that one...

Great idea...lol..it's worse when their feet are too damn big for the shoes and they squeeze those huge things in there anyway....i dont get it...why do ppl want to be a smaller shoe size? I can understand not wanting to go up in a pant size..but a shoe size...who cares? You would be surprised at the ladies who come in and say "i wear a six" have these HUGE nasty feet..and im thinking NO YOU DONT..but they will try one on anyway

Same here! Might be the same site. I was all psyched and then I couldn't get the videos to play on my PC.

Then I thought I might get an A in my French class, but I had to do a group project, and this chick I had to work with f*cked up the one thing she had to do. I did almost the entire freaking project, but she did her part at the very last minute, and I would have proofread it, had she given it to me to look at. There is no "a le" in French!!! That's grammatically incorrect! We got points off the stupid project because she was irresponsible, and probably drunk and/or high. If I get a B, it's her fault.

I feel fat lately. I fit into my clothes just like I always have, but I feel fat. It's an obnoxious state of mind.

One of the people I love most in my life has NO IDEA how much I love her.

I'm surrounded by racists and homophobes!

That's all for now.

The worst is the Christmas Eve shoppers who seem shocked when the store is closing at 6:00, hellooooooo!!! I don't miss retail either, bless you everyone who has to deal with the public!

• Spilling coffee on myself, WTF???
• The woman next to me who listens to these stupid tutorials out loud (I gave her a set of headphones to silence her)
• My car will not pass emissions inspection and it is a TOYOTA, ugh
• I just had my car painted but already have no less than 8 dings in my bumpers (was expected but still...)
• Christmas, what an f-ing commercialized pain in my rear!
• "Feeling fat", I totally identify with that Hill!
• Get up, go to work, go to gym, have dinner, rinse repeat, ugh!!!
• My roommate is "naturally thin", eats cookies/brownies/ice cream every night and it never shows.
• Not having enough time for the hobbies and friends I want to spend time with.
• The Java book I have been testing. What am I doing testing Java? How did it come to this?
• Not having enough money to take all the fabulous vacations I dream about taking.

And my list is meek compared to some of your complaints. I hope you all find some peace of mind and comfort and joy this holiday season!

Thanks for starting this thread, I feel better. Hehe.
