Air your Grievances

[blueerica]

I miss this place, and the heyday version of it.

I have more grievances than is appropriate for Festivus.

I also have more to be thankful for than most.

One word:

SPAM.

Not the type trying to sell something legit, but the kind that says "click here to see your ticket/receipt/rewards/to opt out/see my picture" to make you try download a virus. I never fall for it, but the sheer number of them I get at work is annoying. And the fact that there are people out there that get a kick out of causing someone that much pain is nothing short of what the KKK or Taliban accomplish. A-holes.

And of course how FB has just about killed our homey little chat rooms....

I recommend SpamBayes to rid yourself of them pesky messages. After a week or so of training it's been spot on for me.

Thanks, but I only have this problem at work and can't run unauthorized programs on my work computer. But I'm glad to see people fighting back! We just switch to a better IT, and they are slowly upgrading us. Hopefully they will get this under control soon, and I'll mention spambayes to them.

Yes!! This is totally me, wrenching out reams of paper towels because my wet fingers tear little half-moons out of the bottom sheet.

I also admit turning into a cranking dervish on some of those disneyland towel dispensers where you push the black lever down to dispense a portion of towel. We don't have them here, so it's a novelty. I think my piece of towel eventually stretched from Adventureland to Bear Country.

Lame!! Stop it!

CLickbait is possibly my worst peeve. I also think that if you discover something is clickbait, but it has a worthy Youtube video as the subject of the spammy page, please post the youtube link, and not the one to the "OMG YOU WON"T BELIEVE" page.

That list made me laugh out loud. As an ex-customer service person, all of that is spot on the mark. Love it. Together, lets write a Erma Bombeckian book all about the Retail Life.

And now MY peeve (I don't know how Festivus works, but I love to vent).
Facebook doesn't let me format text, so I love, love, love coming here and being able to give my sentences the nuance they need. ...and smilies to peeve Alex.
