My first world rant - you're welcome to share yours as well

I order nachos from Taco Bell every time I go and I request guacamole on them. I pay extra for this guacamole, but do you think Taco Bell remembers to put the guacamole on the nachos? Nope! Almost every time I don't get the guacamole. I have gotten to the point to where I have to check my order to make sure I get it.

Sitting in my doctors office and its been almost 1/2 an hour since I checked in and 15 minutes past my appointment time.

Irma rants:

The grass is still too wet to mow. If I tried, the lawnmower would sink.

My hole in the ceiling in the garage over my washer (not really a hole, Irma knocked the dryer and stove vents around a bit, and now there are small gaps around them) let the rain in. Not a lot, but enough to soak the ceiling above the washer, and now it's molding. Trying to get someone to come take care of this is giving me a headache. I know there are more people with more damage than I have, but I need that mold taken care of. My landlord has contracted out to two different "companies" to come fix this....one no showed for the first after I asked them for their contractor's license number and the second doesn't respond to messages left at their voicemail, which is a guy going "hey, this is Roy, leave a messerge (sounds just like that)", no company name. Way to make me feel secure about your abilities.

My First World Rant:

I hate the ads that start playing in the middle of a short video you're watching as you scroll through your Facebook feed.

Lots of times, if it was something I was only mildly interested in to begin w/, I'll just stop watching & move on.

Why do I want to watch a 15-20 second ad in the middle of a short, sometimes only 1 minute long, video? I was never going to decorate a cake anyway.

We went on a Disney cruise to surprise a friend for her birthday (she knew about the cruise, she booked it for herself, she didn't know we were coming), so it was adults only. Great, right? We could spend lots of time down in the District on the Dream, dancing the night away, right? Wrong! They have DJs who are completely incapable of reading their audience. You would think that if a DJ looked around the room and saw that no one was dancing, and it was mostly empty, night after night, except for a few activities, and then, when it's not empty, the audience is filled with mostly couples that are older, say mid to late 40's and up, that perhaps playing the latest dance hits, Justin Bieber and rap music wouldn't be the best way to keep people in the club. Nope, cranked out horrible song after horrible song at eardrum piercing volumes. The place was deserted as soon as possible after any event, but the 80's Music Trivia activity was packed and had folks crowding the dance floor, you would think they would have gotten a clue, but nope, not even a small one, went right back to horrible music after it was over, and the place cleared out like someone had dropped a stink bomb!

Mine is when I am on the phone and another call comes in and it makes all of those crazy sounds to let you know you have another call. Especially if I am trying to do something such as reorder my allergy pills, and then I miss half of the prompts. So I either have to guess as to what info they wanted, or hang up and start again.

My Panera horror is trying to order a breakfast sandwich with egg whites instead of the whole egg. It should be super simple right? But twice I received bread with an egg white. No ham or cheese or anything. Now I just pick out the yolk.

The time for my flight to California next month was changed without my permission. Now I have to get to the airport two hours earlier than planned and miss the Wendy Williams show!!

Twice now at Panera I have gotten the wrong order. I always order the same thing, the same way - by using a saved favorite on the Rapid Pickup app, so I order as I leave the house and it's ready by the time I'm passing Panera on the way to work. I pull up, run inside and grab my bag.

Twice in the the past couple weeks, I've gotten to work and what I ordered, is not what's in the bag. Yes, I guess it's my responsibility to check before I leave the store, but whatever happened to trusting order accuracy!?

They say if your order isn't right, they will give it to you free the next time, but have you ever tried calling and reporting a wrong order? The phone tree voice literally tells you to hang up and call back between the breakfast and lunch rushes which is like a 45 minute window. Sigh. Forget it...I'll just eat my wrong breakfast power sandwich! It's less of a hassle than trying to get the right one!

SUPER 1st world complaint!! haha

I've had the same thing happen at Panera. I emailed and got a canned response and nothing more.

My complaint. I did Kroger Click List because I needed lettuce to make a salad for a potluck mid-week (I shop on Sundays usually, potluck was Friday, I think). Anyhow, I ordered a few things to make it worthwhile, but I really needed the lettuce. Now, in the evenings, I'm driving around 3 kids (2 in car seats). So of course, I get to Kroger and the one thing they did not get OR substitute was lettuce (I had picked Romaine lettuce). I'm just sitting there thinking, "The entire Kroger is out of lettuce of any kind, seriously?" So I then have to drag my kids in at 7pm (dark and a little rainy that evening), and Kroger had the EXACT lettuce I had asked for.

I didn't complain or fill out a survey or anything though.

My town is dying. We have lost all of our shopping. Target closed, JCPenny closed, JoAnn Fabric closed, Sears closed, Arbys closed, Pizza Hut closed, KMart closed, Carsons closed I could go on and on. I don't drive anymore after a car accident, so I can't just hop in a car and drive to another town. I can't take the wheelchair bus because it doesn't leave town and everyone is too busy to take me. I just want to go to Target. I haven't been shopping in over 2 months because nobody will take me. If Kroger didn't have click-list, I would never be able to get groceries. Please someone take me to Target.

I know your rant was about missing Target (I would too!) but I just wanted to say I am sorry about your town. It must be tough to watch somewhere you live (and possible love) slowly decline. I hope you can find someone to take you to Target and I hope your town gets revived
soon

Medical marijuana is so hard to come by I am not takin lyft 45 min each way hoping to bring down my anxiety to the point where I am no longer nauseous from it not happening and it's not every day thankfully

I work in a very busy medical practice, and we have a lot of pharm lunches. They're at least twice a week, and more often than not it's 3-4 days each week. And each week, without fail, at least one of the reps decides on Moe's. If it's one of the weeks with more than two lunches, you can bet your salary that we'll have Moe's more than once.

The food is terrible. No one eats it. The doctors have kindly mentioned a gazillion times that it doesn't go over well. No one listens.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Every day without fail, that stupid, STUPID American Famiy Insurance "lovely day" commercial comes on the radio on my way to work. Aside from the horrible song making me want to turn left into oncoming traffic, the premise behind the commercial is moronic. "Making dreams come true".

Insurance isn't there to make dreams come true. Insurance is for when your dream catches fire, runs off the road, or gets a tumor. You never make an optimistic call to your insurance company.

My local grocery store doesn't have Coors Banquet in a bottle, I have to either drink it in a can or buy something else

Outrageous! What oaf doesn't know banquets would only serve bottled beer!

Let's see, rant, rant, rant...

I KNOW!

My office is inhabited by office gremlins. Every night they sneak in, go to my desk, chow down on all the pens and pencils there and replace them with bent out paper clips.

ARGH!

 

[DisneyHardin]

At this very moment my DH is out running some errands and picking up carry out for dinner. I tried to call him to tell him something about the carry out order and he doesn't have his phone. While I was calling, I could hear it ringing in the basement!!!!!

That's not a first world rant. That's something that truly sucks.

My first world rant- was cleaning my glass inlay coffee table and the glass slipped and broke. A 2x4ish oval beveled piece. Cost to replace- $400. Table intact isn't worth that much.

I also work in a medical office with 2-3 pharm lunches per week. I'd kill for Moe's. All we have had last few weeks is sandwiches- Jason's, Panera, Jimmy Johns. Over and over. If I never eat at Panera again it's too soon.
