This is the right thread for venting! So everyone who needs to yell ~ do it here.
I spent a large amount of time working with a business manager and dealing with issues only to find that they don’t want to help or are concerned enough to assist on working things out. In fact, I called the corporate spoke with them, and they said they’d have someone check into it and call me back. No call for a couple of days. I again called corporate and talked with them (nicely) and they said they’d have a upper manager give me a call back. Well it’s been another few days and nothing yet,,,,, the phone didn’t ring and I’m still waiting for them. Even if they don’t want to help out, they could at least return the call and explain why.
Still no callbacks however it's getting worse, instead of just the one corporate it's now two other companies or individuals that fail to callback and return my call to them about several issues that need attention. Why leave a name and number when they don't respond? It's repeated calls to them and no returns.
OK - will this work here? I want to vent about ... arthritis. It has showed up in my knees and it just makes things twice as difficult. I'm retired now and have time to do the things I have been putting off, but I can't get them all done. Our basement would have been finished at least a month or two ago if the knees worked like they used to. I know you folks can't do anything about it, but I feel better having vented. Thanks.
Oh - and one more thing that I want to vent about. I have been noticing more and more posts in various forums that are really showing people's egos. Sure you have an opinion and you are probably convinced that your opinion is the only one that counts, but let's at least be civil and give others the opportunity to post their ideas without putting them down.
People who use their cells and text right in the middle of a conversation with you--I mean, not even an "excuse me for a minute" there you are, having a conversation, and they just start texting, or make or answer a call, WTH are you supposed to do mid-sentence, stop talking, wait for them to fiinish, keep talking? I just walk away, if the situation permits,otherwise, I whip out my cell and call someone, anyone, the weather...........then its somehow my fault, I interrupted the conversation to make a call!

Reason: spelling
I can't stand watching someone order deluxe, then pick half the topping off. They kill me! WTH did they order it to begin with, just get plain cheese, ok? But no, they have to order deluxe, then sit there and pick all the topping off, then make a little pile, then ask you if you'd like them! I HATE pizza pickers!
Also, I HATE coffee refillers. You drink coffee and they keep filling up your cup, whether you want it or not. Somehow, you can't stop them. Seems it should be easy enough, no, thanks, i don't want a "warm up" or "top off" or whatever they call it, but they keep pouring coffee in your cup. Its MY cup, I'll refill it if and when I wish. Just when you have the cream and sugar just right, some idiot who thinks they're being a good hostess decided you need a fill up. You can't stop them!
So I just don't get coffee with these coffee fillers!
Glad this thread is still here or I would have had to start one...
People who point! They have to point at everything! They are explaining something and here goes this damn index finger right across your face as they are pointing at something on the other side of you.
I think their fingers need to be bitten or something, Seriously! Where's Mike Tyson when you need him! It's to the point that I reflexively grab the finger and say PLEASE DON'T POINT!!!
and when I worked in retail, people would not only chuck their money on the counter instead of putting it into your waiting, extended hand -- they have to point at it. They are lucky I didn't have a machette!
j/k I'm not violent, that's why I'm venting on here.
I'm with ya. Especially people who point while driving, dangerous if you're riding the passenger seat. "oh, look at that!" And you get their finger in your eye or nose! or old ladies who like to use their canes to point with! Dangerous!
A disabled veteran with his panties in a wad is never a good thing. Please allow me to un-wad your panties for you.
There, isn't that better now?
What makes you think its a "he"?
