Things that frustrate us all

They, unfortunately, are not maintained well.Earlier today I needed to check my car's tire pressures. I had to try three different gas stations before I found one with an air hose that actually worked properly.
I use the air hoses at Costco located in the parking lot near the tire center. You don't have to be a member to use them.Earlier today I needed to check my car's tire pressures. I had to try three different gas stations before I found one with an air hose that actually worked properly.
God, PAP smears are so uncomfortable
One thing I always keep in my truck: a tire pressure gauge/air refiller.
Basically, you connect it to your cigarette lighter (mine also a power cord that you can plug into an actual outlet) and you set it to whatever pressure your tires need to be (30, 32, 35, etc.), press the button, and it refills the tire to whatever number you set it to. (If it's already at the number or above, it won't turn on.) Got it as a gift years ago, but I don't think they are expensive.
Definitely been very useful over the years (as well as never having to pay for air refilling at a gas station again), along with my portable battery charger.

So do i, in my car, got a rechargeable one which makes it easier too. Only cost about 25 pounds, we cycle too so good for bike tyres and car tyres. You set what pressure you want, it switches off when done.
The school wifi isn't working, so I am currently connected to town wifi. I don't trust town wifi, but I'll need to be doing work on the computer in about fifteen minutes, so I have no alternative.
Yep, Absolute lifesaver and had a couple of them over the years. (Hose went on one of them and for the pressure gauge, that got a little inaccurate - but it was getting a bit old then)
At home, I'm using a fixed wireless Internet Provider, and an encrypted VPN.
I have to make 39 digital 3D models for computer sciences class.
39 digital 3D models.
Thirty fucking nine.

you never know, you might get the Cape Fear version...Profane pigs at the library with no class, sense, consideration or letup. At least one was ejected recently due to her violent Shakespearean intensity. Otherwise, where's Robert DeNiro when you need him?
I suppose that's already happened, judging from limitless noisemakers in previous movie theaters. (It's mostly texting there now.) I doubt I'd complain if the library pigs got Max Cady treatments.
This is why audiences loved it in SUPERMAN 2 when Clark trounced the restaurant jerk......but the '80s were so PG-rated then.
The local Target has a lot of stuff locked behind glass doors now, everything from printer ink to socks to aspirin. There's a sign that says, "Secured shelves in the store keep the products on your list in stock." You know what else keeps items in stock? No employees showing up to unlock the door so you can grab the item to purchase!!!
We even had to lock up the damn GIFT CARDS at my store! WTF? 
They are commonly stolen and fenced before they can be verified so people have found quick ways to score easy cash. There are a ton of scams, and this has been going on since the Craig List days, of people offering to sell gift cards for a supposed amount on them for half price, and people think they are getting a deal get scammed.We even had to lock up the damn GIFT CARDS at my store! WTF?
Gift cards do my head in anyway, why should they have an expiry date, £50 for a £50 card but the recipient gets a few months to use. Businesses must make a small fortune from people who don't realize or don't get chance to use the gift card in time.We even had to lock up the damn GIFT CARDS at my store! WTF?
Legal theft.
My local Fred Meyer just went through a remodeling and I think about 1/4 of the products are locked behind glass now and you have to call an attendant to open up the cases.
Who steals liquid dish soap and laundry detergent?
Yes, recently I waited around by the locked doors for quite some time for some deodorant, pressing the call button at least three times until someone finally showed up.
After that they just started leaving all the glass doors unlocked all the time so they don't have to keep having someone go unlock them for customers and then lock them again.

It's something that can be easily sold because everyone uses it. Something like socks, on the other hand, get stolen a lot by the homeless.
