To the person who asks after my sleep habits on a daily basis:
Please don't say, 'You must be so well-rested and rejuvenated!"
Seriously?
I had 5 hours uninterrupted sleep for one night.
Your tone and delivery make it seem like I've just come back from a two week jaunt on an all inclusive Caribbean cruise, being hand-fed grapes and doing nothing for myself.
I slept five whole hours, after coming home from work at 11 pm. I had been up for 18 hours already.
Yes, I was lucky my youngest didn't wake me up in the middle of the night, for one night.
It makes me cranky and irritable just thinking about it.
Got a vent? Add yours.

Random stranger in the store - don't tell me how to use the self-checkout. I know how it works. Their credit card chip reader is slow. I'm waiting for the next prompt so fuck off.
People, stay in your lane! I got stuck behind not one but two lane drifters. One took a whole block to change lanes, no signal. I got past them as quickly as I could.
Cat, shut the hell up. Just because the sun is shining doesn't mean it's warm enough for you to go outside. You can wait for the weekend when we get our weird heat wave.

Tropical storm Dineo- make up your mind! Are we going to get some much needed rain? Are our unlucky provinces going to have floods? Please stop with the extra hot destructive winds already, our nerves are frazzled enough.

Dear Stepdad: You have the only other key to mom's locking pill box. When I gave it to you 18 months ago, you took a key ring out of your pocket and put the key right on, telling me you always had that set of keys on you so it would be fine. Now that I need the 2nd key, you have no idea what I'm talking about. You now say you don't carry anything but your car keys, and have checked around the house. I checked Amazon and the spare keys are no longer available for purchase.
You keep telling me you've been tested and your memory is fine, but you are just as bad as mom. Frankly, you are no help at all as far as caring for her, even though you live with her... which is frustrating since the doctors see that mom is married and assume you're looking out for her. We can't be there 24/7. Stop depending on her to take care of everything. She has ALZHEIMERS. You are making everything harder for her, and for us. Just stop.
(Thanks. I feel better now!)
Lisa B.

Morons on the road:
Merge means be polite. It is bad enough that there is major construction in at least two places that makes us merge from three lanes to one, causing 15-30 minute backups. We are all going to work. Playing me first, me first and cutting people off is going to create a longer backup after you cause an accident.
That being said, don't take that as a reason to drive slow as dirt in front of me and let 6 cars in because you are taking your own mental scenic route.

I'm clocked out, in the break room, and I have my lunch in front of me. Now is not the time to be asking me work related questions, especially when it isn't urgent. You can wait 30 minutes.

Why can't people on the fitness trail understand the basic "rules of the road?" Stay to the right so people can pass you on the left.
And if you have your dog out there? I don't find it funny when your dog -- on a too long leash -- can get over in front of me making me break pace and you stand there just smiling like a fool.
I try to go at non-peak times, but jeez... it's hard to avoid the idiots of the world.

Fast food places: First Chik fil a - when I sit in a double drive through for an interminable amount of time, and finally get to the window and your expediter reads off my order and it's wrong, and I correct her, and she repeats back to me what I said and proceeds to hand me the wrong order anyway that I don't discover I get home, when I drive all the way back you could at least comp me something instead of acting like I'm a pain in the ass for wanting my family's dinner that I spend $30 on instead of the fruit cup and chicken sandwich you handed me (all the while being as nice as pie but really doing nothing, because when you are as busy as Chik fil a you don't have to care about my one order.)
And Steak and Shake, where I am a weekly customer - when you are extremely short on wait staff such that when I finally get my order and it is wrong so I send it back and you never bring me anything at all, and finally I get up to leave after 45 minutes, don't blow smoke up my ass as the manager by telling me you're giving me a discount by not charging me for my drink when I got water. I know you have a steady business and can't keep employees because who wants to work as a waitress for tips on a $3.99 lunch? But is that my fault? Pay a decent wage so you can keep some wait staff who can serve a customer some lunch when they come in. and for crying out loud, comp a person a free meal for next time.
You know what? F@#$ Chik fil a and Steak and Shake because you are just too busy to need me as a customer and you've never heard of service recovery. |

If I send you an email request for information on behalf of the manager please respond! I'm not doing it for my delight, it is for something she wants on the date/time specified on the email.
My current thought process is if you haven't sent me the details by the date/time requested, I'll send it to the manager with a note stating here is the information you needed, unfortunately so and so and what's his name has yet to provide the requested information.

I hate my manager. She is useless. She is awful. She writes reviews on me without ever checking with the people I work with. I don't work for her, just report to her because she has NOTHING to do and needs people report to her to justify her salary. I could maybe live with all that, but in addition to her well over 6-figure salary, she's getting a bonus that is greater than half my annual salary. I work 50-60 hours/week and she works barely 40. I get 4 weeks vacation, she gets 8 weeks and she gets that giant bonus for SQUAT. She is clearly laughing all the way to the bank, but I find myself feeling more and more resentful.

To the guy up the street who has been burning leaves ALL day- STOP- put them in bags or cut them up! You have ruined a beautiful day. And tell the idiot that lives behind you to stop, too- because he ruins EVERY nice day.

Here is mine for today (excuse the language):
You are a fucking ADULT!! These are KIDS!! You are the referee of the game. Making OBVIOUS one sided calls against our team is NOT how you should be doing your job. You call foul on our boys for doing the EXACT SAME THING the other team did at the other end of the court and you let it slide. They kicked the ball (it's basketball not soccer) and are awarded the ball. You need to treat both teams fairly if you are going to call a game. If you are calling things fairly, I have no problem with one of our team fouling out, but when you are completely ignoring the other team's behaviour? Not cool man.
We went 12 & 1 this season, and were in line for a D10 championship for the 2nd year in a row.
I'm heartbroken for DS and his team mates.

I tried to change the washer on my kitchen tap and it ended up costing me over £100.  I thought I was so clever; I bought a little bag of washers and an adjustable spanner, and told DS to help me so that he would know how to do it in future. We couldn't get the water fully turned off. Then we couldn't get the screw off the tap handle so that we could access the old washer. And then the tap sheared right across the middle of the pillar and water started squirting out. So that meant I had to go and buy new taps (the cheapest ones possible as I plan to renovate my kitchen later this year). And we had to leave the water off overnight which meant taking buckets to the bathroom to flush the toilet. And then my trusty builder came in the morning and couldn't get the forty-year-old taps out which meant he eventually had to dismantle the sink. It took him three hours to do a twenty minute job. And now I no longer have the money I had put aside to buy a new desk.  |

The wonton soup I made for dinner tasted kind of weird. I don't know I hope I don't get sick from it. I don't want food poisoning from it. I am going to take it back to Costco tomorrow. It was in the freezer the entire time and never thawed. It tasted really *weird* and off. Definitely not good.
I am concerned.
Edit:
Son and father both told me there was nothing wrong with the wonton soup and it's just me. There goes something else I can't eat. DS said "you really like this, Mom". *sigh*

If you are leading a mind numbing, information overload driven new employee orientation, please for the love of everything make sure your information is correct, that you aren't constantly saying "well that is the old way we did things, now we do it....." and please please please don't waste an hour here or an hour there getting your &(*^^% together during our training time. This isn't your first merry go round and you should have looked that stuff up either before we started training or the night before. You lose your audience with these kinds of things and we are all ready struggling with the information overload. Oh and don't yell at us because your presentation (that you are giving from a remote location) doesn't match our instructions so we have to ask you questions. Your job is to answer our questions not get annoyed because we can't see what you have and you can't see what we have.
/vent I swear this orientation is going to drive me insane.
