What Grinds Your Gears? :) - Page 249

People slamming doors in areas where I'm at.

My job is the typical retail job where it's 'just' part-time, but I've been working close to full time hours nonetheless. After working all day on Black Friday and the "Black Friday weekend," as well as Monday thrown on top for the heck of it... my calf muscles are so stiff. Have off today and just sitting around, so it keeps surprising me how stiff my legs are any time I try to get up; like I can hardly walk.

I hope this eases up at some point after this "exercise routine" becomes more of the norm. By summer maybe the ol' legs will be well toned and kick like a horse. lol

Seriously, Virgin Mobile... You'd let me use the large balance on my current phone/account on the purchase of a new phone, which is great, BUT (and there always has to be a but) it can't cost more than my balance OR the max balance were I to reach the max ($400). So if the phone I wanted most was $500... I can't do it, because it's entirely too complicated for you to take most of it from my balance and then just charge my debit card for the rest. Really?

It's still money you get immediately, you know.

Dec. 2nd, winter not far away, and yet I was fighting off a mosquito in the bathroom last night... >.> And there is a gnat enjoying my computer screen. The summer bugs have refused to die off.

WHY are so many public restroom sink faucets so short? What is the purpose of it sticking out only three inches (I'm guessing) over the sink. No one wants the horror of being forced to accidentally touch the back of the sink that everyone else was forced to touch just to wash their hands and half of them probably skipped the soap...

I was looking for one song of Aphex Twin's SoundCloud collection on a YouTube playlist and I couldn't find it. I know what it sounds like, I know it's from his Soundcloud archive and I couldn't find it.
Frustrating.

When you're talking to someone one-on-one, and it's a pretty good conversation, and what do they do? They pull out their ****ing phone in the middle of your sentence. AND IT'S NOT LIKE AN EMERGENCY, THEY JUST WANNA TEXT SOMEONE.

*IndigoErth* · 12-04-2015, 06:24 PM

Clothing store fitting rooms and things the public does that you don't even want to know.

So... there was a pair of women's underwear thrown under the bench seat in the boys fitting room. New pair from in the store, not old gross ones (though I've seen that before too at my prior retail job).

I pick them up by the edge of them thinking wtf? Little weird and suspicious that they were in the boys fitting room, though I suppose it could be something as innocent as a mom with a kid she was helping with clothes could have left them behind.

So, I'd picked them up by the edge of them thinking "PLEASE tell me someone did not try them on." Grabbed some other stuff with the edge of the underwear still in my hand, then walking out of the fitting room area I start wondering "Why do these feel a little damp??" And looked a little dirty as well. WTF.

I don't even want to know, maybe it's best I don't. Washed my damn hands twice and then used hand sanitizer... Wtf is wrong with people.

*Powder* · 12-04-2015, 06:34 PM

Oh my God, RIP. That's awful.

BURN IT WITH FIRE. LOTS OF FIRE.
And it is very unfortunate that there are people in the world that are just that gross.

Oh dude, I'm so with you on that one - it's just f*cking obnoxious. And yet if you were to whip their phone out of their hand and throw it against the wall, you'd be considered the rude one.

Same. Once the owner had to take 20 minutes unlocking it, just to get my Oatmeal Creme Pie!

*shuriken* · 12-06-2015, 12:26 PM

This stupid scrape and bruise on my hand I got from falling off my bike.

*plastroncafe* · 12-06-2015, 01:21 PM

I wish my damn aquarium would come apart the way Youtube told me it would.

YouTube comments.

*Jephael* · 12-07-2015, 12:31 AM

Deleted videos on YouTube playlists. They have no title or thumbnail. Heck, at the very least you could tell us whose accounts posted them!

*Netkeeper* · 12-07-2015, 01:07 AM

Wow, three Youtube gear grinders in a row. Nice.

*ProactiveMan* · 12-07-2015, 07:41 AM

Since we're on that topic...

It's beyond irritating that when their app sh*ts the bed and the video crashes to that sad face, you have to watch another pre-roll ad to start it up again. Rude.

Agree, I'd at least like to know what it was. Esp if I can't find something that I I'm sure I had saved to favorites, it would help to know the thing I'm looking for in my list was that thing they removed and I can stop hunting for it.

Oh yay... so got the permanent crown for a molar done today and the sensitivity was bad enough that now I get to be numb for the rest of the afternoon. >.> And a sharp cusp on the tooth above it needed to be smoothed out a bit so it doesn't impact the crown so hard, but filing that down a little also hurt, which apparently for 99% of people it doesn't, so that could be an issue... And I thought today would be easy.

That the numbness lasted for 3.5 hours at home... They didn't even give me much.

That someone put the role of non-stick foil back empty.

*Sage Ninja* · 12-08-2015, 12:17 PM

when you allow some one to use your car and they return it to you with the gas tank practically empty! How inconsiderate is that!

The fact that the internship advisor at my school is ignoring my emails and was not in his office during his scheduled office time both times I went by there!

figuring out adobe premiere. Even when you watch tutorials online something always comes up that either was not covered or the things the tutorial said you could do does not work, effectively halting you in your tracks.

the fact that Wal-Mart people are the scum of the earth! With in a two week span to two guys were caught jacking off in our store. One of them was caught playing with himself in the toy department in the hot wheels aisle! WTF? Does hot wheels excite you that much that you got to do that? This guy is facing child abuse laws as well because his three year old step son was standing on the other end of the aisle with him when he did it. How sick is that? A 12 year old kid who was in the toy department saw this and told an associate. Another minor caught this piece of crap! The police were called and the mother was in the store freaking out (I don't know what the hell she was doing when this all happened). The whole aisle had to be cleared off and sanitized because we could not risk small kids touching something this filth might have contaminated. How sad is that?

One of them in the men's room in the middle of the room with his pants and under wear down around his ankles. Not inside a ****ing bathroom stall--outside the bathroom stall; there were three empty ones this guy could have picked from. The maintenance guy caught him jizzing into one of the sinks! Why? If your going to do that in a public place and you bother to go into a bathroom, why not in the privacy of a stall and jizz into the toilet. Good God where do these degenerates come from?
