The opposite of the what’s something that made you happy thread, this is where you vent about things that either upset you slightly, irritated you or straight up pissed you off. For example, today I went to Arby’s after a couple of months of not going there and realized they discontinued their potato cakes. What brain dead moron in corporate decided to get rid of one of their most popular items and replace it with your standard crinkle fries? If I want crinkle fries I’m gonna go to Dell taco. That’s it Arby’s, you just made the list!

Person calls our office: "About time you lazy f#%$ers picked up the phone. Make sure somebody comes to takes care of this road your a-hole worthless worker f-ed up today." And they immediately hung up.
The road grader broke down when the job was half done, and our spare is about 15 minutes down the road coming to fix the problem. So I know our spare will show up and this asshole will think "I told those bastards off and here they come to make me happy. I'm important!"
I really hate it when people treat us like shit and they get "rewarded" in their own mind even though we were fixing the problem before they even called to hurl insults. Same thing when people call in winter to bitch about how their service is bad, and I can look at the GPS readout and see a truck is 2 miles away and coming their direction, but the entitled caller thinks their call is what "fixed" their problem. This fuels them to call back more and often angrier.

I got into a fight with a bunch of Cornette fanboys on reddit. I pretty much stopped posting on SquaredCircle because it's full of dickheads, trolls and neckbeards, and that goes for some of the mods too. It's a shame really, there's plenty of worthwhile discussion that happens there but it's spoilt by a contingent of people who can't behave themselves.
I was very bored at work today and found myself in a similar situation, drawn into a lengthy debate on Reddit's cricket sub with some people upset that India didn't win a game of cricket yesterday, that was an ordeal. Mostly though, I'm annoyed that I spent an hour waiting for a train home from work because of an "incident" that blocked the line. After eight and a half hours twiddling your thumbs the last thing you want is another hour of tedium tacked onto your day.

Elon Musk sucks. Like, just truly sucks. I feel almost the same way about Jem. Only she doesn’t suck, she’s outrageous. Jem is truly outrageous, truly, truly, truly outrageous.

Elon Musk sucks. Like, just truly sucks. But he makes a damn good car. Not only is it a good car, it's a fun car

Some stupid nonsense in a fandom I'm in ending with someone boasting, "We win because at least OUR favorite character is still alive"
yeah, thanks for that.

Something something the news my moms redneck boyfriend watches...
That's every day though. Like, he can watch what he wants, but when the people on that channel are the first people you hear when you go downstairs to get a cup of coffee, it kind of starts the day shitty.

One of the departments at my work is extremely busy right now due to a massive influx of claims. While we all work for the same company, their role is very different from mine and I'm not in a position to explain their decisions or answer questions about their process.
So, it's fun when people can't get them on the phone and they want to yell at someone NOW, so they end up calling me and spending several minutes going off about issues I have no power over, then doing it again when I basically tell them "that sucks, have you tried calling (department that they actually need to talk to)?"

I woke up with a splitting headache and everyone is on my case at work today. One of my friends actually needed to conference call with me because I was starting to have a panic attack. Haven't been sleeping well for like 3 months now. And my girlfriend dumped me a week ago and I'm still not really over it so it's all just an ever expanding pile of bullshit. Thankfully I have a lot of good friends, a 2 week vacation and a birthday all coming up. Just need to get through this week.

I run every day. I almost get hit multiple times every day. Drive better. Drive safer. Each of us can and should drive better.

Got into an argument on Twitter over Big Brother.
A new low point for me.

Driving to and from Philadelphia today having to avoid sub-speed limit drivers from the airport to points south.
Yes, the signs say 55 but doing below that is a fantastic way to impede the flow of traffic and get yourself killed in the process.
I loathe these self appointed arbiters of acceleration.

My best friend and I opened this pizza place together a little over a year ago (we didn't plan to open in the midst of a pandemic, that's just our rotten luck). Anyway, it's been primarily the two of us here all day everyday trying to make this work and we're exhausted. We're finally to a point where we can hire some folks on and take a bit of the load off our shoulders. Had an interview last week, told the guy to come in for training today. Today rolls around and he completely no-showed.

This is exactly why New Jersey drivers usually say some sort of profanity whenever we see someone with a PA license plate on our roads. f***ers almost always clog up the left lanes and go the speed limit or slightly below.

The wife got tickets to LA Chargers football practice for today. I drove 45 minutes with my sons to go watch. Because the wife got the time wrong, we showed up two hours after practice started and saw about ten minutes before all the players started heading for the busses. Not an optimal usage of my day off work.

It's too f***ing hot here.
Yesterday's annoyance was that, after being told prior that Walmart would have PS4 controllers available "in three or four days", I went down yesterday after waiting for that amount of time to discover that there were still no PS4 controllers there. Freaking empty case still. So I ended up ordering them instead.
Something that induces my anger daily is the shitty internet situation here. I have to share with three other people, and this internet can barely keep up with one much less with four. Two of said people are noted internet hogs who don't say anything before using it, with one randomly uploading/downloading. So I lag, and I lag during the worst situations possible. Worse is that one of those people, idiot brother, has been deluded into thinking it's the "best internet in the area" and therefore won't even bother looking for another provider despite all evidence to the contrary.
Stay away from Consolidated Communications, y'all.
