First World Problems

[Kestra]

The ONLY grocery store in NYC that sells the not too ridiculously expensive but definitely ridiculously delicious chocolate I like keeps running out of the 70% bars.

My grocery store stopped selling the Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ben & Jerry's. It basically ruined my life.

Then my favorite local restaurant stopped carrying their Super Duper Double Chocolate Cake. That ruined my life further.

I don't even know why I wake up anymore.

When I travel to visit my family, I like to get a certain cheese that's only sold in one particular supermarket up there. Well, I did, until they stopped selling it. They now sell something similar, but slightly different.

It is not the same. NOT THE SAME AT ALL!

I was looking forward to getting a Jimmy John's sandwich the last time I went to IL. They do a turkey with sprouts sandwich that I love. But when I went back, they had stopped doing sprouts and were putting cucumbers in the sandwiches instead. Your "NOT THE SAME AT ALL!" quote is exactly how I felt.

Our chocolate bars are getting smaller. Rubbish.

McDonald's sucks.

Don't ever put these two words in the same sentence again please.

My dogs use the cats' litter boxes as an all-you-can-eat buffet.

I brought a new lap top at the tail end of last year and after owning it for less than six months, I've had to send it off to Samsung to get repaired as it's had 1. numerous blue screens of death, 2. most recently it's stopped registering the the DVD drive.

So I've finally sent it off to Samsung to be repaired/replaced and I have a loan lap top from PC World for how ever the former lasts, and it's a pile of shite, the battery has no charge, so if I disconnect the power cable it dies, and if it does, it reverts back to factory settings meaning I have to keep it either on my desk, or near my bed because if I swap, it dies, reverts to factory settings and I need to input the bloody network key and all my passwords and the like. I miss my Lap Top!

On a plus side, my new subscribers issue of SFX just dropped through the letter box.

Just a warning from someone who indirectly deals with Samsung aftersales service at work: Samsung aftersales sucks big time. I hope everything goes smoothly for you, but I did want to warn you that our tech support team hates Samsung more than any other brand.

Does it make me a horrible person to kind of want one now?

Glad to know it's not just my dog!

I'm not sure "person" is the right word for someone who would eat such a thing

But, yeah

Lol There are definitely worse things in the world to eat than sprouts and sprouts are definitely not horrible person worthy

My old dog did that when I stayed with some friends for a weekend. Puked it right back up. Smelled wonderful - warm shit + stomach acid.

I don't like sprouts, but I am familiar with the sandwich of which Kestra speaks. It's actually pretty decent.

It's surprisingly good. I don't like just any sandwich with sprouts. They have all sorts of hippie nonsense like that here in California. There's actually a grocery store called "Sprouts" down the street from me. But that sandwich was delicious, really! You'll have to trust me on this.

I trust you. I really don't think Pingfah will though

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I trust you on the wonderfulness of this now extinct sandwich Kestra.

I can't get the Cheetle--the Cheetos residue--out from under my fingernails.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ "Cheetle"? So there's a name for it now?

 

[auntiehill]

Why, yes, there is. Cheetle.

I believe it originated from the first book of Sniglets, back in the early 80s.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Sniglets...that takes me back...
