    People that ask for advice on the forums and when it's given , start to shoot down every idea. Turns out that they've already made up their mind what they're going to do. Looking for attention and argument.

    I get this from my customers all the time. Drives me up a wall when they argue over my answer to their problems. Its like, why are you even asking me if you know so much ? Go waste somebody else's time D/H :s

    I can't see my profile page,or my wall with my friend posts on it. I feel like I am locked in the basement alone with a bunch of scented candles and no matches.

    Better than being locked in the basement with werewolves and snakes isn't it?

    Would they be flower scented or spice scented?

    Most of my scented candles smell like meat. Ribeye, bourbon glazed salmon, brisket (my favorite), possum a-la-king, and so forth.

    Me neither. (web or app).

    Maybe they are trying to drive people back to the forums. 🤣

    I'm trying not to be irked by things changing randomly, since I know they're trying to fix things, but it's challenging.

    How much the new format irks you may be related to your setup. It's the huge amount of white space that literally hurts my eyes. And why all the double spacing. Everything takes twice as long to scroll through.

    @KosmosKitten I tried dark mode on Firefox (on an iMac) and I don't see that it makes any difference. Are you on windows?

    Why the *kitten* won't/don't people do their jobs??? I'm sure people have said that about me at some point, but now it's my turn. C'mon people... I shouldn't have to babysit you.

    Went to the market Friday night and had my eye on a piece of pie. I didn't get it because the roast beef is finally back at Subway and thought to get that instead. Stopped off and they were out....or it's not officially in yet (but on the app)...Stopped off at the market again the next night and, of course, the pie was gone.

    (I mostly wanted the crust.)

    Yes, I'm on Windows (Windows 7, to be precise). Haven't tried the mode for tablet/phone yet.

    My kneecap. It's giving me chronic stabby pain. It doesn't hurt with deads, and is mostly ok with squats, but it kills with stairs, or tiny steps up. I am getting physio, and he worked on it today... so now I can't even cross my legs without pain.

    Thankfully today is upper body day and I have a few days to rest it, but seriously... I feel like my body is rejecting me. sigh.

    I can be shot or arrested if I demonstrate against Thai military government ! If I criticize the king of Thailand about his many wives and his extravagant spending of tax money I will be jailed for life ! 😕😞😡

    "Documentaries" that are really just thinly veiled propaganda. Even worse when they are touted as "educational" by folks who have probably never even read a history book (or multiple differing historical texts) to derive their own opinions on the matter.

    I can't figure out how to send a friend request.

    I think you have to go up top and click Find Friends , put their name in and search.

    People who panic shop. I get it we have major flooding in the surrounding areas and supplies might be delayed but panicking and buying up all the toilet paper and milk isn't going to help. I am hoping the stores place limits on how many packs of high-demand items you are allowed. Glad I have a pantry and freezer full of stuff.

    The price of a 6" subway sandwich being $5.99.

    BUT I've been waiting forever for the roast beef to come back and it's national sandwich day and I'm testing out being able eat a sandwich as a sandwich is meant to be eaten so I splurged. :)

    (And OMG, this sandwich is perfect. The bread is soft and the meat isn't rare and they didn't over do the mustard.)

    Also, I'm not sure I'm irked (yet) but the gas station where I stop off for my diet soda has a new employee and she's so gung ho and perky and IN A GOOD MOOD and geez, I polished off this sandwich fast and I'm on the fence about it being refreshing (the new employee, not the sandwich) or definitely irksome in the future. :)

    Choosing the Express checkout at lunch hour to ask the cashier why your loyalty points weren't added to your account the last time you shopped and shooting down all her helpful suggestions for getting them updated... after you already held up the line buying a case of bulk food that wouldn't scan properly and needed a manager override. :s

    Waking up at 2:00 a.m. and tossing/turning until 4. Then just climbing out of my cocoon because what's the use anyways?
    That's becoming the norm these days....

    Then I go to turn on our outer light downstairs, that goes into the driveway, first time I've used it since our kitchen reno. It doesn't work. I think our electrician did something that effed it up. Will replace the bulb but I just have a feeling..... :(

    Relatives who contact you trying to be your friend even though you have nothing in common and haven't spoken to them in a long time just because they heard someone you are close to is not doing well.

    My bank. 3 weeks after this merger and I still can't transfer money between accounts online.
