It irks me that my cable, internet bill costs more every month than all my other utilities combined and it is always going down.
6 days in a row with no cable last month but they dang sure charge me for it.
Today until about 10min ago, no cable, no internet.
🤬
It may actually do more than irk me.

Dust. Dust irks me today. I cleaned behind my nightstand and bed headboard today and there was so much dust... my fault I know, but it's not something I think about doing often1

Oh man, my boss is in North Carolina right now, which is a bit more relaxed about covid, and he's sick and I'm all "GET TESTED!!!!" and he says he's going to when he comes back.
Just keep your *kitten* out of the office. (He won't.)1 -
Well, I am wondering why I have to click on 95 to get to the newest chat sessions....I guess that is urking me at this moment. LOL0

Two weeks after our kitchen reno was completed, we noticed our countertop was separating in one area. One side about 4" long was bumping up a little bit right near a seam. We called about it, maybe beginning of November. Someone *just* came to look at it yesterday. Slimed some more silicone over it and pretty much inferred it was our fault because we had let water get in. Okay, #1, this area is beside the sink but never have we left water sitting anywhere on the counter. It gets wiped up. #2. He claimed his guys have been with him 21 years, blahblahblah. Feels pretty irrelevant. #3. the countertops were water resistant, not water proof. We were never informed of that fact or told we had to be more careful because it was a distinct possibility of this happening.
He said this is one of the worst calls he gets and it happens about 4-5 times a year. Really??
And there's really nothing short of tearing it all out again for a redo, which he inferred would be at our cost.
To me, even with a seam in the counter top, it should be able to withstand moisture. Unless it wasn't siliconed properly or the under materials are very inferior. He called it flakeboard underneath.
Now, I know nothing about construction, etc., but I feel if a person sinks 40K into a household project, it ought to be done right.
Not to mention the countertops we had prior to this were well over 40 years old, had seams and never ever showed signs of damage like this.
Just feeling irksome today.3 -

Aww Reenie, Im sorry to hear there are problems so early on. Its not good enough that he says its only water resistant.. its a kitchen bench for god sake.. smh. For $40 K I'd expect top quality products used. And also if he's having 4-5 of these episodes a year then maybe he isn't mentioning the water resistant factor at all when he should ( or not sealing properly). I think this guy most likely didn't seal the joint, a good tradesman would have sealed where it joined to prevent water getting in. I think he is responsible for replacing the countertop imo.. but I don't know the consumer laws over there. 40k is a lot to spend on a job you aren't happy with, Im so sorry Reenie.2 -
@ReenieHJ
I agree with Jo.
Too much money not to be completely happy about the reno.
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this.

Add my agreement to theirs. He should make it right. Is this laminate? Like yours, my 30 year old laminate has gotten wet and had no issues with water getting under any of the seams3

Thanks to all who replied to my irk.
Thinking back, there were 2 guys that came in and installed the countertop. One side of the sink was done by a guy who was concentrating, very serious about his job. The other side(one with the bump)the guy was chatting with the contractor and not paying nearly as much serious attention to what he was doing. I mean, the bump isn't *that* noticeable, unless you're running a dishcloth or something over it. But having something like that happen a mere 2 weeks after completion.......the countertop project alone cost us 1800 of the 40K.
But I truly think it should've been sealed better and that's where the problem mostly likely came from.
I always second guess myself and am afraid to cause waves or hurt someone's feelings or feel intimidated because well, they're the experts right?
He could at the very least, offer a rebate of some kind, just on good faith.
Yes, it is laminate. Other than that irky thing, it looks really nice. 3 -
Talking with my ex,
I’m all about letting things go,
he’s all about holding on to the anger.
No one can hold a grudge like he can and over the dumbest things.
One example of incompatibility that led to divorce.2 -
That I have mice in my house and have 7 indoor cats! Im assuming mice anyways, found a dead baby mouse yesterday. 2

Dust. Dust irks me today. I cleaned behind my nightstand and bed headboard today and there was so much dust... my fault I know, but it's not something I think about doing often
Yes dust. Add dog hair to that and the whole static cling effect of winter. It's driving me crazy. I even find dog hair in my fridge and kitchen drawers. WTH? 1 -
I contacted MFP support because I, and others, are having trouble viewing people's profiles. Happens to me on the website. Chrome seems to be the issue. And it seems to be a random occurrence among friends and those I am not connected to.
The response was that I should log those profiles I can't view and report back. I understand the need to collect data and make an assessment on what the problem is. But to do the fact finding for them is silly. You have my data and know where I have been. You figure it out.6 -

Yep.. I remember contacting once and the barrage of questions that ensured really put me off ever contacting again.0 -
Wow, I'm legitimately irked about this.
Normally, I walk to the grocery store but something's up with a pain in my side and it hurts too much to walk outside. So I drove to the market (which is only a 15 min walk away). I bought half off boxes of cereal I normally wouldn't have because even their sale/coupon prices are over the top. So a 6.50 box of cereal should have rung up at 3.25 but it came up 4.00. Another one for 4.00 should have rung up as 2.00 but came up 2.50.
I wouldn't be this irked about 1.25 but now I have to get dressed again at some point and either waste time driving to the market or walk it hoping I'll still be able to move when I get back.
And, yes, I'm going to make an appt at the doctor's. I was almost on the verge of going to urgent care Friday night after my ling walk but the corona prep thread kinda scared me! 😀2 -
How dry it is in my house... ⚡1

I guess 14yrs is all I get from the television in my bedroom.
It just blinks off, on, off, on, off,
I think it’s telling me goodbye. 😂1 -

Maybe it's morse code and is telling you it's in trouble. (I don't have the creativity to come up with that trouble.)1 -
I should not read blog comments!
I watch General Hospital and some of the comments for yesterday's episode...
Certain people who sway a certain way politically don't like feminists. One person was saying how she doesn't think 3 of the characters on the show are. I think it totally goes over her head that one's a PI, another a nurse, and the third is a world renowned super spy.
She also said she wouldn't hire the one female (an attorney) who she thinks is one but would the only two male attorneys in town.
I came out of lurkdom to ask what she has against feminists and what exactly she thinks they do/are because sometimes you have to call people out on their b.s. thinking.2 -
Rain again.. c'mon, its supposed to be Summer 😫2

Aaaaand her answer was exactly what I thought it would be. A lesbian who hates men.1
