Things that frustrate us all

My beloved Yeoman Randi has been diagnosed with cancer.

She told me she didn’t mind if I told you all and I wasn’t going to, but I can’t help it. I have to tell somebody :(

I’m just trying not to make this about me. Randi is being chill about it, and so will I. But it doesn’t make it any easier :sigh:

Oh well. She’s a DiMaggio. She’s strong. She’s got this.

I've been stupid, I have two different kinds of coupons for a stove but one is on my old address and the other is lost. Now I have to call to adjust the address for the first one, and call for the other to replace it. Who knows how long it will last! Looks like it will be takeaway, restaurants and mom's kitchen for the time being
 
People who persist in giving unsolicited life advice when you aren't even complaining about anything, don't take no for an answer and get angry at you for "making excuses". Bonus points for following up on it later and considering it a personal insult if you haven't already turned your entire life around based on what they told you.

I see you've met my older brother. :rofl:
 
It seems like when something is resolved something else takes its place.

Welp, my mailman didn't pick up my outgoing mail yet last time he said it was that he was on vacation but that was only a month ago. I hear various BS answers from sites about if they have nothing to deliver, they won't pick up. But I did get something delivered today so that's out the window. This has been going on since I moved here. Others were having the same problem, and someone asked him, and he said it was too dark in there and he couldn't see. So, we took down the curtains but it's still happening. Today isn't a holiday where I am from either. I know for a fact that he doesn't come on Mondays most of the time. I've had mail not taken and barely delivered on this day for years. And it wasn't until I moved here that I had this problem. They always took my mail even if nothing was delivered. Why would outgoing mail be not as important like bills or important forms? Especially those forms with crazy deadlines. I once had to return something within a week and it wasn't very close by either. I was lucky he took it that time or I would have been in big trouble. And the whole maybe he thought I didn't take the mail delivered the other day and didn't know it was outgoing "at a glance." At a glance? Don't look at a glance, look through them all carefully. Thats what I would do. This guy seems nice enough and he likes to whistle and hum and he looks like he has headphones at times, so maybe he gets distracted. But that wouldn't explain the Monday's thing. I get particularly nervous when the outgoing mail is something important. If it was just a card I would relax more. Sorry, that I am in here again. :brickwall: ;)
 
The “Empty Shelf” phenomenon, when you want the “original” flavor of a product, and the shelves are chock full of the other flavors, but not the “original”

(Latest example; Triscuit® Snack Crackers. There are 14 flavors! I just want “Original”)

I shop at Aldi's and all they had was some cracked pepper kind and I wanted the regular one as well.

Cloud flare prove you are human box that when clicked sends you back to the box. When you use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) it will never complete. Yesterday I went to a website to order merchandise, after I decide on what I want and place the order, when I go to the shopping cart I get the cloud flare box. I am not turning off my VPN, loosing my internet traffic encryption and then enter my credit card number, so no sale. Complete waste of time, at least give me the cloud flare B.S. test that says you don't want customers with VPNs when I get to the site initially, not when I am ready to pay.

Some time in July Cloud Flare changed their test so I get stuck in the continuous loop of asking you to prove you are human. Doesn't matter what browser I try to use, with the VPN on it is stuck in a loop. I have to use fixed wireless for my internet. If someone was to climb the unmanned tower that my internet antenna is pointed to, and install a receiver, they could gather all the data sent to the tower. I use the VPN mostly for data encryption.
