You Know What Grinds My Gears? - Things that personally piss you off

So you attempted an online purchase and were led to believe that all was well, prior to them calling you back, right?
Pretty much, yes.
Just checked back.
Email from the Automated system "Thanks for your order"
Email from a human: "We'll ship this UPS ground"
Email from the automated system: "Here's the tracking number"
Phone call from the human, "oh, yea, fucky wucky, we didn't realize your credit card didn't actually go through."

Very useful timing, I'm dealing with a very similar situation right now. Overwhelmingly, the costs of faulty receipts are absorbed by the party in error. Unless the customer does some trickery to resnatch funds, the receipt is a legal document attesting to receipt of funds and is *supposed* to be the final arbiter in the matter. Saying you've received funds that you haven't received is tantamount to knowingly providing false information on a legal document. Interesting to find another case.

To be fair it was only implied, nothing ever said my card was charged or rejected. But then again getting a tracking number certainly says to me that I paid them, but they hadn't yet actually put it on a truck. Whatever, I just blame Paypal for sucking.
 
You know what really shreds my soul? Targeted ads. It's reached a point where a corner of my brain genuinely starts to wonder if my phone is eavesdropping on me. Case in point: I just got an ad for some young woman of color ranting about vitamin overload, sitting in front of a mountain of those absurdly large bottles, which—funny enough—I was just saying out loud to someone. And then there’s the cat thing—never had one in years, but suddenly I’m getting ads for pet supplies as my subconscious is thinking about adopting a cat.
 
Dumb bitches on social media who are suddenly going off about things they know nothing about and never even cared about, but because Trump got elected they’re mad. “Well, what about [random average person issue]? Have you thought about that?” Yes, nigger, I’ve been dealing with that for years. Where were you? More concerned with trannies getting dick-chopping surgeries? Sorry you got fired, I guess, lmao.
 
It is, that's been a thing for a while now unfortunately.
I used to rip on my mom, right. She’d duct tape her Roku like it was a bomb, and she’d wrap her phone in a handkerchief like it was an artifact. Why? So the government wouldn’t spy on her in the bathroom. I’m like, "Ma, you’re losing it! They’re not watching you take a dump, calm down!"

She got the last laugh. (:_(
 
Reading a post I made years ago and I look at it and I think what kind of fucking retard would post this, then click Post Reply and realize I am that actual fucking retard. I then have to delete an angry post where I called myself a retard, even though I was actually an absolute retard.

That's exactly how I felt a couple of days back when I looked at the fundamentals of my argument and realized I was complaining about how a country song didn't have a happy ending.

IMO you should keep the post up as a reminder - just stick a disclaimer at the top, or reword the post itself, to make it clear that you're responding to your own past retardation.

I wince at some of my earlier posts from 2020 because I would misuse the word "boomer." I'm so embarrassed.

With that, I feel the frequent users of A&N just upload outrage bait for easy engagement. All those threads start to blur together and I end up repeating myself.
 
The global bar soap market was valued at about $31.15 billion in 2023. The global body wash and shower gel market was valued at about $46.7 billion in 2023.

This means the average person on earth consumed less than 4 dollars in soap and less than 6 dollars in body wash, meaning the average person spent less than 10 dollars on soap, body wash OR shower gel.

Thanks India for bringing down the average.
 
Fuckers who try to rationalize steroid use despite being natty themselves. No, I don't have to respect the work and effort the juice monkeys still need to make full use of their PEDs. The simple fact is that they wouldn't look even half as good, and wouldn't even be able to train the way they do in the first place, without the steroids. If they hopped off the sauce they'd look like absolute dogshit in 6 months, tops. Meanwhile us natty lifters can take months off at a time and lose, comparatively, zero size or strength during that time. And we'll get right back to where we were in a couple weeks or a month or two even if we do.

And getting into an argument with me about it, while trying to paint me as insecure or jealous, ain't gonna change my stance. In fact the harder you try to defend it, the more certain I become that the only reason you aren't juicing is because you're too broke, too stupid, or can't make the connections to start a cycle.

It's like trying to say "well yeah sure, he plagiarized literally everything he ever wrote, but the amount of work he did to keep it hidden is pretty impressive. You gotta respect that".

Boomer has been pretty diluted. At this point it's used for anyone over 30. So probably nobody noticed.

Obligatory gear grinder: Magic Spoon cereal. What the fuck is this shit? A $10 box of cereal that weighs practically nothing, is covered in shitty goyslop Corporate Memphis "art." What kind of retard would buy this? It pisses me off just looking at it and I wouldn't eat it for free. I imagine it as the Corporate Memphis of cereal.

Was going to post something very similar but it's been done so I'll just second/endorse this post.

Aging millennials in #resistance are very cringe.
