I get a cancer medication that was switched from it's brand name to it's generic by my insurance, and my doc said that was ok. CVS calls multiple times every day asking me to order the refill for the brand name that I no longer get. I try to cancel it and they say I don't have the authority to cancel my own meds. That prescription for the brand name drug is valid until Dec 2024. Oh... I guess I "can" get the brand name, for $2600 for a single weekly dose. Yeah no. I'm seriously getting multiple calls, emails and texts every day from CVS about something they can't/won't fix and it's beyond my control to change. And they have a billion different numbers so blocking doesn't work. This type of situation should be illegal.

Had to run to town to grab a few items,normally do this on Sunday but busy that day this week.
Had a 40 lb sack of bird seed,then piles of other stuff in the buggy. And 6 times before I went to check out had people either stop right in front of me all of the sudden or not paying attention to where they were going so I had to stop fast ot not run into them.
Hey asshole at least know what is around you for a 3 foot radius.
Got home rewatched that two parter where the Bundys' A/C died so they live in the grocery store. And now looking up how much it would cost me to make the Al bundy Foodies cart of death. And if it is legal to attach cattle prods,chainsaws and sharp spikes to a shopping cart.

Someone keeps dumping slush piles (for those unfamiliar with Canadian winters, this is the very heaviest kind of snow/ice to lift) in front of my driveway. We haven't gotten much snow since our 30cm dumping a couple weeks back and it's actually above 0 right now so I know the city aren't the ones doing it. I can only assume some douchebag neighbor is pushing it out of their driveway and dumping in front of mine. Hoping I catch them in the act but they've been stealthy ninjas about it so far. I have a bad back so this bullshit is just making it worse.

I'm a wrestling fan, you do the math. Doesn't help that I KNOW there's people defending [MR. BLACK!] and what mental gymnastics they're doing to make it so. For an FAN safe example, I bet there's people who think Grant is an AEW mole!
Sometimes when I hear stories of how people I grew up watching are scum, I wonder if I should ever have been a fan. And I'm not even getting into the 2020s style tribalism.

There was some kind of event at the super market I usually shop at, and the mascot person did a "Hey!" *Double Finger Guns* greeting at me. Made my day, lol. Edit: D'oh! This was meant for the Made You Happy thread.

I work with this 51-year-old manbaby who is mothered by the authority figures in my workplace. Over the past few years, he's gotten very greedy about trying to beat everyone out of highly desired vacation days, to the degree that he'll put in his requests more than a year ahead of time just to make sure he always gets the days he wants. The boss finally called him on it and told him he's pissing people off and she's not granting his requests. He responds by whining to the rest of the staff, some of them the same people he was screwing over with his selfishness, about how he's not being treated fairly. I showed no sympathy for him and told him that he should be more thoughtful of others. Instead of learning his lesson, he calls his direct supervisor, who has been at home for 6 months on medical leave, to complain about how he's not being treated fairly. After all this the dude has the nerve to hover around people's desks and try to chitchat, joke, and make nice like he's not trying to screw people over behind their backs. The only people who give him the time of day are the authority figures, who treat him more like a sulky child than a grown man who should know better.

Have someone coming to look at my furnace. The scheduled time is between 11am and 1pm. I got a text at 12:27pm that they were on their way. It is currently 1:01pm with no sign of them. I work nights and am normally headed to bed about now and they haven't even shown up, more than a half hour after the text that they were on the way. Small in the grand scheme of things but pretty annoying.

My wife (whom has a rather unique name) was slandered online by a small business owner, who went as far as to name drop her and include her place of work in the post who made up this bullshit 'Karen' situation that never happened (won't go into specifics, just that what they said was far from the events of truth that we have captured in text screenshots and receipts). As this person is fairly well-known in her field, several dozen individuals who follow her began harassing her with text messages and calls to her company further harassing her (one who even deliberately posted a screenshot of their harassing message to my wife with her name and profile photo on prominent display).
Worse, one of the social media platforms that have these posts STILL up "reviewed the post and found nothing wrong" despite the fact other sites have already taken it down. We're having to now file complaints against the platform itself despite it likely going nowhere thanks to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (aka "we can host bullshit made up by our users and you can't sue us for it"), appealed for a SECOND time to their third-party Oversight Board, and looking into our options for protecting both her and our family since my wife's name was so unique (we have her profile locked down, but that doesn't stop these people from digging deeper).
It honestly drives me mad that assholes like this exist in the world, and it's a "normal" thing now to defame someone with little to no repercussions from social media. This is why I don't bother with that crap, nothing good has come from that shit in ages.

People deciding that the moment to attack me for not blindly going along with everything they say is when I'm in the middle of running errands for them. Yes please, make me feel like shit after I spent hours of my Saturday doing things for you. Fun! 👍

I hate mankind and wish it would go extinct.
Cherish life my ass. What's the f***ing point when you have a f***ed up brain that clearly can't fit in with other people? What's the f***ing point of cherishing life if you're always going to be alone because your brain works differently? You're just stuck your in own personal hell where there's something clearly wrong with you but nobody wants to help.

Last year, my uncle had a kidney removed, as doctors had found a tumor growing behind it. He is undergoing chemotherapy and is recovering well, I saw him not too long ago for our usual post-new year get together. When he was diagnosed, he had one request for all of us, and that was not to tell crazy aunt. Which was fine, my mom and I haven't talked to her in years and we know full well how she is.
Post-surgery, people in the town he lives in organized several benefits for him. Again, all well and good.
Unfortunately, my aunt, his wife, while an incredibly sweet woman, is not that bright. She gets routinely hacked, shares fake stuff (it took forever to get her to stop sharing fake pages claiming to be Ellen Degeneres or Tyler Perry giving away money), and in one memorable instance nearly gave her financial details to a scammer until my uncle intervened. Evidently, she forgot that crazy aunt Facebook stalks her on the regular and shared several posts about the aforementioned benefits. I'm told one of my myriad cousins, who didn't know about my uncle's request, stooged, but honestly I think crazy aunt saw them and threw him under the bus. Anyways, crazy aunt went up one side of my uncle and down the other about it, then started talking shit about my mom while simultaneously begging my uncle to force my mom to talk to her again.
Yesterday, crazy aunt had the absolute nerve to try to call here and apparently left a passive-aggressive guilt trippy message about her and another of my more problematic cousins (not the accused stooge). After all the shit she's pulled. I've said for years that she's a narcissist with a victim complex, and every time she pops up it just confirms that more and more.
Why are a good chunk of my relatives like this?

Just found out that my work is going to be outsourcing 20 full-time-employee jobs in my department and I could well be one of them. I work in customer services and I'm 52.
f***.

Everyone telling me that I have to move and get out of this town.
I _know_, but I can't. My father would never allow it (if I somehow did make it out, he'd constantly be calling me telling me I have to come back because it's disrespectful to him and my grandfather), and I don't really have the skills to get a job that pays enough to support myself in a new town or city all by myself.

You know what I love?
Making coffee with a Keurig and forgetting to put a coffee mug in it.
Then spilling the drip tray everywhere as I try to bring it over to the sink.
And then doing it again, and forgetting I've made coffee at all.

I’m having one of those days.
The boy got a letter from the college saying that because he dropped a few courses (without discussing it with anyone) he is no longer eligible for financial aid this semester and will need to pay back what they have given him this year.
Went to early vote this morning and when we pulled in the parking lot it started to rain. Daughter has no jacket and wife is wearing flip-flops and hates walking in rain. Wife ended up waiting in the car while the rest of us voted.
Got back to the car and start backing out of the space but wife won’t stop bitching about what an inconvenience it is for her that water is falling from the sky. I don’t turn my wheel soon enough and bump into a pole and shatter my taillight.
All the way to lunch I have to listen to “Taillights are expensive. You’re going to get pulled over. When ar3 you going to fix that. You’re such a terrible driver. You better not make our insurance go up.” (Telling her to shut her pie hole is not an option)
Pulling into the parking lot to get lunch. I am easing into my space when daughter screams, “LOOK AT THAT!!” I manage to hit the tire stop WAY harder than I intended. Wife bitches at me some more while daughter squeals with delight because Subway now sells foot-long chocolate cookies.
In the Thai noodle restaurant, I am perusing the menu and somehow manage to fling it ten feet across the room and underneath another table.
Went to light a fire in the fireplace (because it is cold and rainy out). The damn thing would not light. Most days I get them going with a single match. Today it took me half an hour and an entire Sunday paper to finally get it burning.
Sigh.

Father in law’s little chihuahua pisses everywhere in the kitchen except the wee wee pads my mother in law puts down. I’m walking in the kitchen and step in dog piss, slip and fall in the piss, landing on my left arm and back, kicking the dishwasher so the door opens and lands on me.
I’m in pain, pissed off (and on), so I slam the dishwasher closed and storm off. Then my wife asks me why I’m slamming things. Tell her because I’m hurting, covered in piss and all I wanna do is take a shower.
