My vent is that I bought a new Dyson vacuum about 2 years ago and have had it in the box since then. I was waiting to open it when we got new carpet. Well, we got the new carpet and I tried to use it last night and the brush wont spin and it's like trying to push a shopping cart through sand. I took it to our office carpet and it works just fine. So apparently my new carpet it too plush. Now I have to find another vacuum to spend money on that will actually work. ![](http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r481/2peasrefugees/Smilies/flamingmad.gif) I'm sure you've checked, but, are there settings for carpet vs floor and hi-pile vs lo? I've used my Dyson on my very furry (long soft fibers) accent rug without problems. I looked, I had my dh look...we don't see anything that will let us adjust the height.

I had my hair cut a week ago. I hadn't figured out how to style it just right. Wouldn't you know, I did an amazing job this morning. My hair looks great today. And I have no where to even go to show it off. I only had one online meeting and it was with a bunch of middle aged men who don't give a flip about my hair.

The only way I can get her to get in the car willingly (albeit, grudgingly and slowly) is to tell her we're going to find some dawgs. I giggled at this. You're in Georgia now, right?

Merge Xfinity/Comcast's website is the WORST for that. I recently was working on cutting our cable package to the bare minimum - just local news channels, nothing else. Keep internet the same. Seemed pretty straight forward. Went through the website, got to the review order page... and my bill is now $20 higher than it was before, not the $50 lower that it should have been. Somehow, 3 add-on channels and a second cable box got added. Okay, I thought, no big deal. I'll go through the site again, make sure they're checked as "remove" as I thought they were before. ... Same thing happens. I had to get on their chat feature two separate times and have them settle it for me. What a pain!

I'd be pretty annoyed if I had it for 2 years and couldn't use it!

My petty vent is that everyone and their dog is out shopping -- the lines at Target are insane, ran to the mall? Insane. Even traffic is insane. I get it, everyone needs back to school crap. But come on. Can't we take turns all going to the same place? Ugh.I cannot wait til school is back in session and I can run my everyday errands without waiting in a traffic light for five turns.
Yes, this is petty bitchy and entitled. I get it.

It's my bday and I have to drive DD to a Writer's Workshop about an hour away, each way. I love that she's doing it, but I hate being in traffic. Happy birthday! My petty complaint is that I'm in kind of a lot of pain and I can't get in to see the physical therapist until Tuesday. It hurts to sit, it hurts to stand and I've got too much to do to lie down all day. I'm on the max doses of ibuprofen and acetaminophen for arthritis so there's nothing else to take. And I have no idea what I did to be in so much pain.

Pretty sure I am the only one with this complaint today. My vet had to do a glad squeeze on my oldest pup. She said it came out like tooth paste. Poor guy. We go back in 8 weeks.
Adding a second one: We put up board and batten in the dining room (love), but now the large piece of artwork has to go in front of the 2.5 inch ledge. We've done lots of mathing and reworking for this project.

The noisy physicians who have their own offices but do their water cooler talk in the empty cubicle next to my cubicle. I've offered to trade them my cubicle if they really don't like being in their offices but no one has taken me up on that. So I passive aggressively stare at them repeating on my phone "I'm sorry I can't hear you -there's too much noise". They never take the hint.

Sounds like a HIPAA violation complaint in the making 🤔

My petty complaint is that my office is FREEZING. I spend the first hour sweating to death and then the rest of the day wrapped up in a blanket. My hands are so cold, and this blanket ruins the look of my cute outfit!

Another complaint: starting yesterday, there are several AI pics of fake giant elephant ears plants in various garden groups showing up asking if I want to follow.
I do enjoy spotting fake AI pics, but these are ridiculous and people are so stupid that I think most of the comments must be from bots. These can't be living, voting humans...

Apparently, this is a problem with the Dyson I bought. There is different hacks to try. That is my dh's department. I am going to have him watch a few videos and pick one to try. One guy says it has too much suction and that is why you can't push it. ![](http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r481/2peasrefugees/Smilies/shrug.gif)

I got sworn at in work today, when I tried to help a dyslexic patient get the right medication sent to the right destination after they'd ordered the wrong item. ![](http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r481/2peasrefugees/Smilies/rolleyes.jpg.gif)

It's my bday and I have to drive DD to a Writer's Workshop about an hour away, each way. I love that she's doing it, but I hate being in traffic. Happy birthday! Stop for ice cream. My complaint is that I went with DH on service calls yesterday. He always buys me lunch and I picked the place though there wasn't much to choose from in this part of Charlotte. A 4.7 Google review and the food was horrible! The only reason I ate any of it was we were in a hurry, it was about to storm and I didn't want to stop somewhere else. No wonder he takes a sandwich with him when he goes by himself.

Speaking of algorithms, I’ve been signed up to an online dating site for a few months and they keep showing me all these topless men with suspect dental situations and poor grammar. I have never once swiped right on anyone like this, so why do they keep showing them to me? (And yes, it has struck me that maybe this is all there is, but that thought is too horrifying to comprehend. 😱)
And today I was propositioned by a 37-year-old! Really? 🤦🏼♀️ (I’m 60.)
