You think you are making something easy to do and it backfires. I ordered pants for my husband online at Old Navy to pick up in store. When he brought home the bag we discovered that the sensor is still attached to the pants. Now we have to make a second trip to get the sensor removed.

Doesn’t anyone believe in common decency anymore? I’m tired of people who think that their desires are more important than the basic rules that the community put in place for reasons that make sense … whether you agree or not. Argh.

You like being a victim. Get over it–you are not a child.

Hey butthead,
When you’re in a restaurant and somebody facetimes you, DON’T TAKE THE CALL AND PUT IT ON SPEAKER PHONE! It’s rude and a butthead thing to do.

August 31st! Last hours of what some think of as the last day of summer. It is still freaking 68 degrees after 10 pm! If things continue, I might have to cancel our upcoming Hawaii trip!

What to do. What to do…when the name you’d picked out for the new puppy (arriving in October) is the same name as the kids’ new babysitter. Daisy.

Nope. Those mandatory online trainings that I have to complete every year aren’t getting done over the holiday weekend. You have us come back 2 days before the kids do and jam 27 meetings into that time and no time to prepare for the kids. This is a work task. I’ll do it on paid work time.

(((40+(40-(70x0)))+20)+10)
I should stay off Facebook, obviously. Someone posted this expression and asked for the answer. I said it was ridiculous - all those parentheses aren’t needed. Someone snottily replied that I must not understand order of operations and went through it step by step and came up with 110. I replied that 40+40-70x0+20+10 gives you the same answer, and no engineer would write such a stupid expression. And yeah, hon, I’m an engineer…
This acquaintance has always annoyed the heck out of me and I will try to avoid him in the future.

Just because you think it doesn’t mean you should type it, and if you do type it, maybe consider not sending it…

Shipping from Canada has gotten, um - without politics, challenging. Really? All this for $30 items??? Especially annoying because it is not supposed to be included in the tariffs but there’s sooooooo much paperwork to try to make that happen. I did not need to spend my day learning about USMCA, HTSUS, USITC and probably more acronyms before I’m done.

Don’t send me a letter asking me to log into your system to schedule a colonoscopy when the system won’t do online scheduling.
But it gets worse. I call in.
Me: I’m calling to schedule a colonoscopy.
Woman : You’ll need a referral.
Me: You sent me a letter saying I’m due for the procedure.
Woman: Yes, I see that in your record. But it requires a referral. It’s our new policy. It doesn’t make sense. I know. I’m only the messenger.
At least she was pleasant about it.

I read something on social media yesterday that really made a lot of sense and seemed worth sharing. You want to live your life in such a way that if you go radio silent for a few days the whole world doesn’t hope that you’re dead.

Just a follow up. Posting here so that I don’t make the person that answers my call cry (yep, it’s happened before).
I refused the Cologaurd package. Now, I’m getting calls that my test came back “empty”. It wasn’t even opened! Of course it came back empty! (Already getting myself worked up. I just had to go back and erase a few choice words). They BEST NOT have charged anyone, anywhere, anything to run that test! Now they are hounding me to call them back. What a waste of time and money. And we wonder why insurance premiums are so high. All while someone’s pockets are being lined.

Follow up to my previous cautiously optimistic post (it is NOT a reply- just happens to follow another comment about health insurance) woo hoo!!! The first time it took 18 mos to fix the misprocessed claims (to the tune of thousands of $) and 6 mos to fix it last time (the second time we had to submit similar claims). But finally, the third time is a charm. Yayayay for the good guys! This time I was able to go directly to a previously helpful manager at BCBS after they were again misprocessed, and halleluyah! This time, about 5 weeks after the initially misprocessed claims, 2 large checks came in today’s mail!!
