What pissed you off today?

[starryeyes]

Having a completely honest conversation (slobbery, tear filled one) about how I feel insignificant to her because she won't acknowledge my relationship (among other things) and having her make it "my fault" and hanging up on me.

Wow Mom, way to go.

Portions of this video, addressing the blaming of the victim mentality in our society, just piss me off. I'm glad they are addressed, but seeing the behavior and quotes just remind me of how pissed off I am about the way sexual assault survivors are made to feel responsible for their attackers decisions...

My client actually asked me to talk to his GF on webcam....really???

I don't think that's in my job description...nope...

[StrongButch]

Nothing! (lol) I laugh stuff off and walk away!

I had a ridiculous craving for dill pickles, so I bought an 80 oz jar (I also had the thought that this will make a good change jar later) of Vlasic Kosher Dills...So, later at home, after having them refrigerated for awhile (I only like them ice cold), I'm crunching away, and I take the time to read the label, looking for carbohydrate content.

and I see this:

Serving size: Approximately 1/4 pickle


WTF?? How many people snap into a Vlasic and only eat 1/4 of a pickle (the equivalent of one bite)?

It pisses me off when I see things (not that I eat them) that are convenience foods, that are just big enough for a meal, labeled as 2.5 servings (examples: Cup of soup, or a packaged burrito). I want to see honesty in labeling. If your product is five billion calories for a mouthful, then you should just say that. Obviously these companies know that their calories, salt, carbohydrate, and fat contents are ridiculous, or they wouldn't label their products this way.

Jeez, (insert sarcastic voice here) I wonder why so many Americans have a hard time controlling their health issues?

The FDA needs to demand these companies use honest labeling, and create more nutritious foods that actually benefit our bodies, and stop giving them so many loopholes to find ways to fool consumers. And if they won't force these companies into complying, then we as consumers should do something about it.

End rant.

Seems I post here more and more often....

well, it was one of those days....

I go to get the truck from my ex (I am still borrowing his car till ours is fixed) and..per usual..the gas I put in was GONE...ok...fine..I left early so that's ok...

Go to the gas station. It's PACKED...go on to the next one. It's Sunday. Billy doesn't open on Sudays....never has. DUH...go back to the packed station (the gas was REALLYYY low..below E...no other choice) the station is STILL PACKED...I pull in and park my ass there. Then notice one of the clerks that works there shooting the shit with another one that works there...she FINALLY goes over to her car, which is at the pump, and moves it so others can get gas...

Then, I realize that I haven't eaten. I realize this due to gnawing hunger. I remembered I had pretzels in my work bag...but they fell out when I peeled out of the gas station in disgust. I have to close the passenger door better anyhow so I pull over and grab the pretzels whilest I do this....then, while taking a sharp turn, they promptly spill allllllll over the exes truck

Then...I get to the grocery store with the bubble invaders. I deal with it cuz I'm getting used to it...and because I got some wine while I was there...and that helped my mood...sometimes even anticipation is therapeutic...

Get to my client's house. NO PARKING.... per usual. I have 25 lbs of carrots to bring in, 8lbs of apples...my own stuff and misc other groceries...I am parked allllt he way on the other side of the common...and still have to go get this stuff for him. BECAUSE someone parked in the 10 minute parking spot and never moved.. for DAYS...

Then he gives me attitude about a red pepper that I TOLD Him I bought WHEN i bought it...and lastly...I'm trying to study for my entrance exams for nursing school. I sat in the kitchen where the light is gooder, and every few minutes he either comes in or calls me in. Now that I am on the couch he hasn't spoken to me in 30 minutes or more....seriously??

I KNEW today that I should have stayed in bed.....this is what I get for doing the growed up thing...

I remember now why I don't want to date.

Before I had even logged in at work this morning, this conversation pissed me the fuck off...

Supervisor Tom (someone I have never met, and didn't bother to introduce themselves to me before expecting me to take him seriously): Hey, you need to remove that photo of Obama, we're not allowed to have political things at our desks here.

Me: (moment of stunned silence): When did a photo of the current President become a political statement, and not about showing my patriotism?

Supervisor Tom (shrugs): I was just told to tell you that you have to take it down.

Me: Who told you to deliver this directive?

Supervisor Tom: It doesn't matter, you just need to take it down.

Me: It matters to me, because I have never seen that in an employee handbook, it is not political material, and I would like to address this with the proper party.

Supervisor Tom: I'll have to get back to you.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is the photo that someone found so offensive, that they felt the need to voice their concerns to leadership.



As you can see, there is no political party emblem, or campaign slogan. It is simply a picture of President Obama, and a smaller photo of his family. This conversation felt so surreal, I can hardly believe it took place. What fucking country is this? I would never complain about someone having a picture of a president at their desk, whether I voted for that president or not. I would think of it only as an act of pride in our president, and in our country.


My immediate supervisor's face, became absolutely crimson with fury when I told him about this conversation. I advised him that until they can show me in the employee handbook, that a photo of our president is a political statement that is not allowed to adorn my desk, I would be leaving it up.

I swear that guy thought I would just do as he asked, without complaint. Which tells you that he has no idea who he was talking to. He also looked pissed off when he told me to remove it, as if I had personally offended him, and I think he may be one of two that had a problem with it to begin with.

I can tell you, that I will take this as far as I need to, I will not back down. It is absolutely absurd, and it felt very much like harassment.

when a person you thought had your back, stabs it..i'm not rilly pissed just very disappointed, when will i learn?

Today, my supervisor pulled me aside:

B: "That conversation with Todd?"
Me: "Yeah?"
B: "It never happened."
Me: "Sure, thank you B"

I went to McDs for a tea on my way to work...I order it very Sallylike I admit ....

Large tea half cut with lemon and no ice

I tell the orderer that...and it doesn't come up on my screen correctly, so I tell her so. She tells me she knows and the amount and such...

I get my tea...it has ice...I tell the girl it was supposed to be NO ice..she looks at me and says "she says you didn't say no ice" And I proceed to tell her that I did and it the screen thing...She looks confused and upset...and this other girl comes over (the one taking orders I believe) and snatches the cup from my hand (since the other girl wouldn't even take it back from me) and dumps it out and makes it all over....Hands it back to me without a word....and instead of half cut she has put half and half in it. With lemon

By this time I am going to be late for work and I can't do anything more about it...but I was tealess and tired as a result of my caffeine free day!

And yes...I know there are far worse things in the world...but this was my peeve for the day. More so because it is further testimony to the downward spiral that is customer service...and human relations in general

Despite the ridiculous amount of joy I am feeling after the Ravens Super Bowl win, I am still pissed off at the shit load of sexism in the Super Bowl commercials. The Go Daddy commercials absolutely disgust me. I am so tired of the devolution of American advertising.

Agree!!! And yet people still use them...God only knows why.

Hearing that our local county humane society will no longer
be accepting or adopting out cats. It's a basic death sentence for
feral cats & kittens in our area because the two cat rescue organizations in
the county are already overrun. It's just really sad.

Quiet simply that would have been me that pissed me off today.....

[Zimmeh]

Being woke up to my car being towed. The spot I parked in was not properly marked as a no parking spot. The tow truck parked in a Lowes parking lot and re-hitched my car to his truck. He could have lost my car while trying to leave the complex.
