People with big bluetooth enabled speakers in public places (parks, beach) bumping their music at dance club levels. I don't want to hear your freaking playlist. It's classless, garbage behavior. But if you say anything, you're asking for a fight so it's a no win situation.

Or people walking through the store on speakerphone or FaceTime. Ugh drives me nuts.

A few weeks ago, I went out to get the mail only to find the snow plow had a strong dislike for my mailbox and had blasted it into several pieces. Bought another one and put it on in a few minutes. Coming home from work the other day, I stop at the mailbox before I pulled into the driveway only to find not just my mailbox, but half the pole had been obliterated by another snow plow. Wiped out the neighbors as well.

"Focus on the things you can control" has become corporate speak for "We realize there is an issue outside of your parameters that is preventing you from doing your job to the fullest of your capability, but we're too busy to care about fixing it and providing a solution."

This is the corporate line now going back prior to March 2020.

I stop at a gas station to get some lottery tickets. I tell the lady I want to get 2- Powerball, 2- Hoosier Lottery and 2- Cash 5 with no extras. She walks over to the lottery machine and says, "How many Powerball?" I say two. She then says, "Do you want the extras?". I tell her again no extras on any of the games. She then asked the same thing for the other games.

gas station EE's are simple creatures built on routine/training.

lol,... I see the same thing. I always say, after getting my gas,... "one power, one mega, and one texas, all with no extras." Half the time it's "Do you wnt extras??"

What really grinds my gears the most is the offseason. It's about 25 more weeks until college football returns. All the rest of your petty little complaints and gripes seem irrelevant now, don't they?

Purchased a Sony TV in December 2020. Bought the extended warranty direct through Sony. Backlight goes out, so I call to get it fixed. They refuse to take care of the TV because I can't provide a copy of the receipt even though they have all of the information of when and where it was purchased and acknowledged that I have the extended warranty. Target doesn't keep receipts that long, yet I showed Sony the transaction on my bank account and they don't care. I called Customer Relations and what do they do? They tell me I have to work it out with the warranty group. No more Sony for me.

I'm amazed that Target didn't offer to take care of it for you after you called about getting the receipt. Our local Target is pretty liberal about returns and backing up their sellers' warranties, as long as you provide an ID and they can check the system and confirm that you aren't a scam artist that returns stolen items every three weeks.

After calling Target, I went to the store to discuss. I didn't have any better luck there.

BTW....I only return stolen items every four weeks. lol

I think I'm in a slump. Along with the TV this. A month ago the starter on my truck went out. Had it replaced by the shop down the street who I have had great luck with. Two weeks later, it won't start. Shop looked at it and said it was the starter. They fixed it at no charge which was only right. Was going out for lunch today only to find my truck wouldn't start again. They're working on it now and my money is on the starter again (same symptoms). I found out they replaced it the first time with a starter from O'Reilly. In the past they always used OEM parts. My guess is this one was from O'Reilly as well.

It's people I hate.
I am hate people at work. They dress like they're lumberjacks, wear baseball caps, or wear spandex workout pants. Pieces of crap roaming the hallways complaining about not getting promoted. I always look at them and laugh derisively. Literally.
Walk down to lunch and I see blue hair. Saw Crocs on someone's feet a month ago. Frigging joke.
I also hate people who barely work, take every benefit offered (and there is a ton of them) and think there is no problem.
I am lucky in that I have a strong group who give a f@ck. But everyone else-turds.
What happened to taking pride in your work? Taking responsibility for your actions?
There is hate in my heart.
A little self-awareness goes a long way. It is lacking. Not lacking in everyone-but in many. Too many.
I can retire now. I may do so.
To circle back, I hate people.

I could joke about hating people who lose receipts and complain about it but damn,… when it rains it freakin pours. Sorry bud, sucks hearing this. I know it sucks when everything seems to go wrong at once
