What Grinds Your Gears? :) - Page 292

*Shiro Kame* · 05-30-2016, 09:00 PM

Today at my apartment complex's laundry room, some guy left his clothes in the dryer and didn't come back at all for over an hour for his laundry. After about 20 minutes of waiting, including hanging the clothes on hangars that I didn't want to shrink in the dryer, I got fed up and went "F*** it!" and placed his clothes in the laundry hamper he left beside the dryer. He never came down, even by the time my clothes were done drying.

Seriously, it pisses my off when people inconvenience others like this. It wouldn't be so bad IF the laundry room wasn't busy today with all the other dryers being used, and his being the only one not going. If you're going to make people wait like that, don't expect your crap to be left the way it was. Don't be like this guy!

I'm digitising some VHS tapes for my mum... it's soooooooo boring. It's all conference footage and stuff like that.

Little different situation, as we have our own washer and dryer so we're not dealing with strangers, but still feel your pain. My sister and brother-in-law constantly hog it. There is an agreement that the weekend is their designated time slot, BUT apparently they also think any other day of the week it just fine too on top of it. They are so bad about getting their crap out of there and being considerate so others in the house can do some laundry to. I rarely get to use it... If I have a day off during the week when I could have a chance to do some of my own laundry, more often than not either 1. their crap is STILL in there from the weekend, or 2. my mom chooses my day off to use it herself...

You bet those two sometimes get their laundry thrown in a basket and left there. If it's wrinkled from sitting in the dryer or stinks because they left it in the washer too long and now it smells like mildew - oh well. I'm not finishing their laundry for them.

Saw a cute shirt on eBay, same brand and style as one I bought for work recently but with a different black & white pattern. I'd have probably bought it too had I seen it.

The grind about this... I paid $2.70 for the one I bought on clearance. The one on ebay... also has the same clearance sticker, and can vaguely make out the same $2.70. The person is asking for $13.98, plus $3.40 s & h. >.> I think the regular price was only nine or ten dollars...

The clearance sticker is pretty easy to cleanly remove from the tag it's on. They could have had the sense to at least take that off first.

Youtube did something that forces subscriptions to be in a grid like format. I like having my subs in a list. What's annoying is the list button is still there but when you click it nothing happens.

I hope they fix this cause the grid is an eyesore to look at.

*Powder* · 06-01-2016, 05:55 PM

Yeah, that's been annoying me to.

Today's issue is violent hiccups for over 5 hours. I want to smash my head against a wall.

*IndigoErth* · 06-01-2016, 06:28 PM

When you can't spell a word right or get it close enough for spell check to figure out what the heck you're trying to say. Fortunately, at least Google can usually figure me out.

Yikes. And how sore are you now.

Definitely beat my personal record of 3 hours.

Edit: Grinds, website edition... I really kind of hate sites that:

1. Load more as you scroll down and then jump past things you didn't see, losing your place.
2. Load some elements on the page slow enough to ensure that if you try to click on something it will load the rest of the page right then, shifting the page the split second before you click and making you click the wrong thing.

My High School stuck me with some teenage girl **** who claims to be 21 and she follows me around and tries to get me in trouble and acts like a total sl*t and LITERALLY WALKS AROUND LIKE A GOD DAMN STRIPPER OR SOMETHING, WHY CANT THIS B*TCH GO TO HELL?! WHY IS SHE EVEN HERE?

so like, anybody have any good recommendations for an immediate transfer?

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 06-02-2016, 07:36 PM

My grind this week is on-line ordering. Specifically, paying for an order. My credit card was supposed to expire at the end of last month, so I updated my card info to the new one on the 30th. Now, I'd already ordered several items on Amazon a week earlier on the old card- but then I get an e-mail from them telling me the transaction was declined. WTF??!! One of the items had already shipped!! Why the F*** did they wait THAT long to process the other three items, so that they didn't go through before I updated it??!!

What's worse, they make it impossible to fix the problem unless you're on a pc, because apparently you can't do it on the phone version of the site. (Even if you click on the "full-site" option... Huh?!)

Went on for several hours more after that post, eugh. The hiccups themselves hurt a little bit but I was relatively alright last night overall. Today, however, oof. My whole like, neck/chest area is killing me. I can't even take full deep breaths. Them sh*ts were brutal.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 06-02-2016, 07:59 PM

Well, it could be worse. Mr. Duckie has occasionally had them for a full day or more- one time it went for three full days. Ouch....

*Electric* · 06-02-2016, 08:11 PM

It's officially been two weeks after my surgery, and everything's going pretty well. Out of my splint and got it casted. Going back in another 2 weeks to get my stitches out...
But that's my concern, everything I've heard has said 4 weeks is a really long time to keep stitches, that my skin can start to grow over them...that's sounds extremely painful

They fixed the problem yesterday so Gear no longer grinded

My brain tumor. I lost a day and a half the other day. Slept for like 18 hours. Ugh. The State saying I'm not disabled but seeing the neighbors, who are both on disability doing yard work and busting ass around their house...

Family that will take the word of a liar and thief over a notice from an actual Doctor about a medical condition...

*IndigoErth* · 06-03-2016, 08:22 PM

Hate being no kind of early bird (night owl all the way) and having to be in to work and on the clock by 7am. That is painful. Thank god I live close. Esp since I'm not one that can just jump out of bed and be out of the house in a half hour or less. I need a while, thus I set the alarm clock for around 5:15 am.

And last night I must have gotten only 2 actual hours of sleep and fought for a 3rd.

Add to this, though schedules are supposed to be done on Thursdays, they've only bothered with next weeks schedule so far up to just Sunday. Sunday is the normal 7am day I occasionally do, so I wasn't thrilled about doing it on a Friday (which there really wasn't any point in it)... and now? I thought after today I'd be spared it for Sunday. NOPE. 7am Sunday, too. Wtf. >.> No fair.

Only thing to keep me going that morning will be plans to see the Turtles' movie that night. So I guess I will take a nap after work. At least I purposely requested off for Monday so a late movie time wouldn't matter. Yes... I requested off for Turtle purposes.

*Autbot_Benz* · 06-04-2016, 03:25 PM

The Usual supposed to get my Amazon Package today but good old USPS ****s up and now I have to wait till monday to get my package. Man I dislike USPS

*Utrommaniac* · 06-04-2016, 05:16 PM

I can't make heads or tails out of the instructions in one of my books for school, on Indesign. It's quite annoying, and I've ended up redoing a page three times before finally being able to understand them.

I'll get in the hang of it eventually, but for this first chapter we're working on, it's weird to wrap my head around. The lines run too long for my focus capabilities.

*IndigoErth* · 06-04-2016, 05:20 PM

What did they do to mess it up? Did it get on the wrong truck?

A year and half ago I'd gotten something from eBay that was simply coming from New Jersey, so it was just next door in a neighboring state, great. Via tracking I watched it run off to the Midwest before it finally turned around and came back.

Took a bit. I contacted the seller just to make sure he put the right address on it; he was a little baffled, too. At least it wasn't anything overly important.

Grind... so schedule for next week was updated annnnnd... they added Friday. Sunday and Friday. Is a newbie doing the schedule or something?? Most of the time I normally do work five days out of seven. So far I have two this week. >.> I don't mind an extra day off now and then, but come on.

no they said it got delayed/ to the post office too late to be delivered which is silly cause the post office before mine is 2 hours away and it left there a little after 3 in the morning.

*IndigoErth* · 06-04-2016, 05:59 PM

Gottcha. Maybe their processing got backed up and you got their common excuse.

*Icebot* · 06-04-2016, 06:09 PM

Gear grind: Ants! Many ants have entered my kitchen cabinets and they have lots of food! I hate the idea of wasting all that food.

Are ants poisonous?
