Things that frustrate us all

Ours are like that sometimes but they choose the most awkward moments to do it
You must have been driving in Oklahoma.
Finally got X-rays last week for my foot that's been hurting since August. They found two bone spurs --one on the bottom of my heel and one under the tendon.
But the only appointment with the doctor isn't until the Thursday after next.
So...more waiting.
Also got all rejections on all my latest job applications.
Again, more waiting.

I know I'm almost a week late but pre valentines easter eggs
Security theater
They put up a row of metal booths at the train station that look like they could trap you if you had weapons and it looks ghastly and intimidating..

^...which I imagine is the entire point.
Well duh. I know but it shouldn't be happening
why not?
Everywhere is peaceful until it isn't.
Fair enough but security overkill is ruining places
> "We want UAP disclosure!"
> Disclosure happens
> Nobody cares.
Every fucking time.
> Disclosure happens
> Nobody cares.
Every fucking time.
Since when have we had disclosure?
Every time there is some kind of "disclosure", the result reminds me of The Amazing Jonathan's spoon bending trick and in the end we get another useless bent spoon.
Organizing a student conference.
We clearly state everywhere that applications are only accepted through the official conference website and that the research summary should not exceed 3000 characters. The application form itself reflects this, the summary field is limited to 3000 characters and gives an automatic warning if anyone tries to enter more. Yet we keep receiving summaries via email that are well over the limit, often accompanied by complaints that our form wouldn’t let them submit it.
Our participants have little to no experience with academic events, these first steps can be overwhelming, so I don't have a lot of issues with them. But it does make me wonder: what exactly are their supervisors doing? Shouldn’t they be guiding their students and helping them understand the importance of following basic submission guidelines?

Frustrate doesn't cover this, disgust might do. It is utterly appalling.

For those outside the UK that may not know but James Bulger was murdered in one of the most horrific crimes when he was abducted, tortured and murdered. That anyone could vandalise his grave is purely disgusting, no words.

A lot of people today show almost zero respect for things like graves or places of respect anymore.
