Things that frustrate us all

Guy was in the cereal aisle at the grocery store. He pulled the box he wanted and caused another box to fall to the floor. After he finished what he was doing, he just left the box there and walked away.

I was at Costco today and something similar happened. Woman pulled a bath mat out of a box and the box tumbled to the floor, spilling the rest out onto the concrete. She put the bath mat in the shopping cart and walked away. I went ahead and picked up the bath mats and put them back in the box and the box back on the shelf.
 
I saw a photo of a woman who didn't want to get her knees dirty so she took two loaves of bread and knelt on them so she could grab some bread from the bottom shelf. I sure hope that was staged.
 
In my Pocket feed today, I saw this headline: "RFK Jr. wants a wearable on every American." The linked article then goes on to use the word "wearable" five times in the first two paragraphs -- without ever answering the question, "a wearable what?" Turns out they're talking about health-monitoring devices like smartwatches, fitness trackers and glucose monitors. Christ Almighty, why not just say that?

(In any case, it's something I don't need and I'm sure most of us don't need.)

I don't take any medical or dietary advice from someone who doesn't believe in Medical Science, and eats roadkill. I do wear a watch that tells me the time and date, I have on shorts and a tee shirt. When I go outside, I wear sandals. I hope he will at least wear something on his feet when he goes to use the airplane lavatory.

I ordered a quart of 100% Neem oil (Harris Company) for garden use from Tractor Supply Company (TSC) on July 27.
TSC sent an email on July 28, saying the item was shipped.
TSC sent an email on August 11 to rate my purchase of Neem oil, TSC's website said I should have received the Neem oil on August 4, but there was no tracking number.
I never received the Neem Oil, so I ordered some 100% Neem oil from Amazon (Plantonix) on August 11, just after midnight.
I called TSC this morning, when their phone lines opened to talk to a customer solutions agent.
After 5 minutes on hold, with the robot telling me I could press 1 to be called back or stay on the line, every 25 seconds, and also telling me I could go to their website for information, which they don't have (tracking number).
The agent can't find any tracking information. I tell the agent to cancel the order, and I will obtain the Neem oil somewhere else (which I have already done).
I just got an email from the Agent at TSC giving me the tracking number from FedEx, and TSC refunded my credit card.
After checking with FedEx website and the order was cancelled by the shipper (Harris Company) on July 28, 1 hour and 18 minutes from the time TSC said the order was shipped.

The aphids are running rampant in my garden, and the ladybugs and ladybug larvae can't keep up. Amazon should have the 100% Neem oil here in a couple of days.

Half of a parking lot was off limits because they repaved. Didn’t know it was an entire half until I turned down one aisle and there was a car coming the other way. And then there were cars behind me trying to turn into the aisle as I was trying to back out. It turned out to be an easy solve as the car behind me figured it out and went another direction, so I was able to back out and drive elsewhere. But there were other drivers who saw this whole thing and still wanted to go down that aisle.
