I have a package being delivered by FedEx/Surepost. It is going to take SIX days for that package to travel 100 miles! Meanwhile, another package traveling 2,000 miles via UPS is going to take three days. Yeah, I dislike FedEx. Yes, this is an irrational vent. Next!

It's not FedEx you should be annoyed with- it's the supplier who is using that service-FedEx to USPS. But I do understand your frustration.

Mine is customer service agents constantly saying "thank you for holding, being patient, etc every time you ask or reply to a question. Drives me nuts!

"My business just isn't working for me."
How many people did you call? "none"
How many people did you meet? "none"
Have you completed your training? "no"
I have a party that needs covered Thursday, can you cover it? "No"
How about Saturday? "No"
Have you activated your website? "no"
Have you told anyone that you started a business? "Not really, I don't know what to say."
Do you want to do a quick call so we can go over a few basics? "I don't have time"
Yep, it's the business that isn't working. Argh!

My vent is probably too heavy to just drop on this thread, but I just need to get it out.
My and brother and his partner are guardians of the partners older sister. She has down syndrome, and has been on Hospice for the past little bit. She passed away this week and I hate seeing how much my brother and Joey are hurting. They both have been her caregiver for the past 20 years and they just are hurting.
Then we found out my xFIL has lung cancer after being treated for pneumonia for the last 2 months. Its stage 4 and non-operable. My boys are hurting. Their granddad is a good man and I respect him so much. I hate that he is dealing with this.
I really just want to curl up into a ball and cry. I know it won't help anything but dammit. Life sucks right now.

mom I'm sorry. Sometimes it seems like everything happens at once. Your brother and his partner sound like amazing men. I hope they can take comfort in knowing the sister was well loved in their care.

My vent is every one of my routine health tests have required additional tests this year. I'm extremely grateful that everything has come out fine, but come on! I just got a call from my doctor about a likely false reading on my ECG from the procedure I had last week. Now I have to deal with that.
Oh and it's going to be HOT on Saturday here in Minnesota. I'm going to cook in my new dress for the outdoor wedding. It's supposed to be cool, autumn temps!

Mine is a pity party for 1:
I hate when I realize something else I love has been stolen by this disease. Fall has been my favorite season my whole life, walking with the wind has brought me so much joy. I had to cut my walk short today due to the wind, the pain was too much. Trying to find new things to enjoy can be exhausting.
Ok, pity party over (for now)

That was totally me trying to sell Beachbody. One day my upline was trying to motivate us and said "if you don't like talking to people you aren't going to get far in this business". That's the moment it clicked that I hate talking to people and I'm happy just working out and not trying to sell. Of course, I never blamed the business or my upline. |

My kids who are 16 and 19 are driving me batsh!t crazy with their constant fighting. I am tired of being in the middle of it. They both blame each other for the same exact faults. They both talk badly to each other. I am at the end of my rope. I just got off the phone with my insurance company to find out about joint/individual counseling for them. Maybe if they sit in a room with an outsider they can get it all out. All I know is we can't go on like this, it's gone on far too long.

I appreciate the ones that recognize that it's just not their jam SO much! This particular gal I've even offered to buy out but she's staying active because she 'really, really, wants this" I'm convinced the 'this' in her statement is because her world is pretty out of control and this is the one thing she has some control of even if it's in a negative way. I would love to be able to help in a more productive way but I can't seem to figure it out. :/ It's definitely not for everyone! |

I have another one, it's an irrational one but irritates me nonetheless. I work in the afternoons and my boss sometimes isn't here when I get here. It's just the two of us. 99% of the time, she doesn't tell that she isn't/won't be here. I just come in and she's not here. I don't know when/if she's coming in/back. Sometimes I know she's coming back based what is left on at the office. Rationally, I know, as the boss she doesn't owe me an explanation. But it would be nice to know when she's coming back, ya know? Sometimes, I can't do work because my computer is networked with hers.

Because that was his birthday? Yes it was his birthday , but the amount of fanfare they had was suited more for a weekend event. Totally first world problem for me. |

I need a break. I think I have a week off after thanksgiving (Canadian). DH will be working. So I can just have some quiet time.
In a few days I'm in my last year of my 30's so my goal list better step up a bit.

The use of the word "gifting". Overused and it just makes you sound pretentious...I get it you want everyone to know just how kind and generous you are that you gave someone a "gift". Saying "I gave it to", or "I donated it to" is exactly the same thing but "gifting" makes you sound soooo much nicer doesn't it?
Gah drives me nuts. Everyone in the crochet groups on FB now "gifts" everything they make.
Here's the baby blanket I'm gifting to my co-worker, here's the crappy blanket made of out cheap scrap leftovers that I'm gifting to the homeless, this is the pillow I made that I'm gifting to the dog.
When did all this use of "gifting" become a thing? Why do people have to big note themselves and point out every time they do something nice for someone?

It doesn't make it any better, but I do think of how many people don't get that love and how much better we are that they were there for her and had her love. It hurts my heart that they are hurting so much. They are very good people. I am so sorry for your great loss. |

Our weather has drop big time in under two week. I was going to do Morgan's winter shopping in about a week or so. However, it gotten nasty and cold so fast i need to do it this weekend. NO ONE HAS WINTER COATS HERE i mean all the basic shops has nothing. I really do not like paying a arm and leg for seasonal stuff for him since it will only fit for one season. The boy needs something warmer than his old hoodie. I will not get started on a vent about finding his bubble butt some new jeans. (yes he has a big old butt)

My neighbor. I cannot stand him and his girlfriend. Here's the latest in the long list of reasons why. I live in a small gated townhouse community of six homes. My neighbors have had this dead plant in a pot next to their front door for at least six months. Well, yesterday I was walking my dog just outside the gate, and I noticed that same dead plant in the grassy area in front of our houses. So instead of putting it in the trash, they just threw it on the ground. It was even trash day, so there were at least five other trashcans they could have used to throw it in.
Seems minor in the scheme of things, but they put a couch in front of our place a whole month before heavy trash day a couple months back, and they have about 8 bags of trash on their balcony right now, and it irks the crap out of me!
