Shit that annoys you

[Mustonen]

willing to bet they will be johnny-on-the-spot to cut me off for non-payment and then send me to collections.

Did I mention that one service rep told me my service had been sold to Frontier (news to me!) yet when I called Frontier they said they don't service Walla Walla Washington?

I called the local store I bought the service from and they can't help me either. I begged them to contact a supervisor and get me through to them but no-can-do.


How can such a big established company be so fucked up?

Edit/Add:

An online search for "Nameless carrier says my account doesn't exist" pulls up many with the same problem and same narrative as mine. I tried to log onto their community page but can't because ... wait for it... my account doesn't exist and if I try to use my email it says "that email is already in use" and won't let me use it. Yeah... already in use by ME assholes.

Good for him.

My gas dryer started smoking. It's toast. At least it happened while I was there. Now I need a new one. It's money I wasn't planning to spend.

Gas dryers are fairly simple machines. Look up your model on repairclinic.com and see if there are bushing/belt/bearing kits and/or instructional videos. I fixed mine for about $30 and two hours of my time. Most of that time was spent getting it in/out of the closet (it was stacked) by myself. Would’ve been much easier with another set of hands.

I left that piece of crack I carry around (my phone), in a Uber the other night.

It is ridiculous how addicted I am to having my phone on me.

Lean ground beef
Wtf

Wifey bought 94% lean. Again.
It won’t fry. It just boils in it’s own water.
And you need to oil the pan first.
And it has no flavor!

Made a pot of chili with 80/20 beef last week.
Fried up nice. Left a slick of grease that had to be drained.
Tasted like awesome.

And don’t even talk to me about ground turkey

Ive got one good ground turkey recipe. One.

And beef fat taste delicious.

Since I quit drinking my sleep has never been better. Alcohol fucks with sleep, big time.

Its a pretty worthless blight on society. Delicious though.

Yeah but think of all the money having to buy custom clothes would cost you.

It's been having issues. I am not surprised it died. I bought a new one this morning, larger capacity, which we need. This one had 15 years on it and even if I fixed it and got the smoke smell and soot out of it, I'd never trust it again. I am just lucky I caught it when I did, before it caused damage to the house.

Da-dum-ching.

[The AD]

Lately I've been noticing people just blasting straight through right turn only lanes. I guess they think it's OK because they're turning like a mile up the road...

[Rideski]

Ground meat annoys me.
Give me a whole cut of beef any day for about the same price as hamburger. Safer, better tasting, etc.
Is ground poultry really any cheaper at all?
Whole chicken breasts are like $2 a pound at Sprouts...

Member when hamburger was 88 cents a pound? Now it's all hip and trendy. Weird.

Ol' girl across the desk divider is chowin' down on some curry. And I can fucking hear it. And smell it. Some seriously violent lip smacking going down.

I'm annoyed that I am annoyed by it. How tf do people go their whole lives eating with their mouth open

Nice. I got stuck on figuring out how to make something work about the dryer developing a nicotine habit.

Whoosh! ‘Splain please!?!?

[JongDoe]

Conference calls where the users don't sign in so you don't know who TF is on the call. On a call today with 9 people, only 3 of whom signed in. The others were callers 1 through 6. Then the organizer is going over shit and has to ask if Joe Blow is on the call, then we get to something else and is John Doe on the call... Somebody is talking and you don't know if it's some clueless Monsieur Dumas or one of the few people that knows something.
Annoying as hell and happens all the time, most offenders are managers. How about telling everyone to use their fing names and making that policy. How can you be successful when you can't even get the simple shit right?

[MakersTeleMark]

Twice today clients have told me that they didn't or couldn't receive documents that I've emailed because their phone was some sort of fucked up.

It's not my job, kid, or life on the line. Figure that shit out or fix it. I don't have carrier pigions.

[Viva]

And now that spring is upon us, it's becoming too dangerous for smoke signals.

Flood stage 13ft.
Walla Walla river 12.08 ft. and rising. .

[The AD]

right lane is the passing lane here so makes sense

You're right. Good thinking.

[Rideski]

It's just a blip. Kidding. Nice spike.

This is pretty too




So creepy now that it's dark. Been watching it rise all day but now rushing water is all you can hear.

12.24ft now



Oregon is having a time of it. From today, flooding on the Grande Ronde:

[Rideski]

Yeah I mean it seems like there's some water there.

Mississippi is way over flood stage near Davenport and Missouri river doused East Iowa as well.

We're definitely not as bad off as the midwest. Not even close but still, when mother nature starts throwing a fit with rising waters it's freaky.

This map shows flooding across the country a little better. Black means flood stage:

Good luck KQ.
