What's Bothering You?

@Alienfish Yeah I bought a expensive fan for my grandmother, when she lived with me, as we were hit with a nasty heatwave earlier this year. Never showed up and I finally had to call the provider to get my money back. Took like 3 hours on/off of phone calls to get my money back. With all the rep I hear from FedEx with the PS5/SeriesX getting 'lost' I kind of think they stole my fan. I mean it's a big box, there's no way you're losing that. Someone saw that it was a fan, during a heatwave, and stole it for themselves.

They have such a bad rep these days I'm surprised they're still in business. A line worker at FedEx posted a video of them telling people not to buy from FedEx and said, 'Because we like to do this' and started throwing, kicking, and punching packages as hard as he could while his female co-worker cheered him on. So I really do hope they go out of business.

Yeah that definitely sounds like someone just stole it I'm sorry D:

Okay yeah that video definitely don't sound okay and yes they need to die out of business because they can't even deliver properly no matter what.

At this point I don't care about New Years. 2021 was a year of manipulation where it plays with your emotions thinking that things were going to get better, but then it seemed to repeat the same events that happened in 2020 but worse. 2022 to me is going to be another year of survival. I don't care what that year throws at me, but I am just going to suck it up and deal with it. Its hard to be positive these days, but that's just how it is these days.

i’ve ranted about this before but there ain’t no way im paying $16 for ONE pack of amiibo cards. this is ridiculous, why is everywhere either super expensive or sold out? did nintendo/the manufacturers only ship out a limited amount? like there isn’t enough to keep up with demand. i would buy the fake ones but i feel like im doing something illegal.

I AGREE SO MUCH. The few times when they restock I have to RUSH upstairs and get my money and try to add the ASAP. Why can't they be easier to find!!! I just want more villagers!! They are ALWAYS OVERPRICED OR OUT OF STOCK. and I thought the original dollar per card was alot but 16 for 1 pack is CRAZY like NINTENDO PLEASE

Oh my goodness. Celebrity deaths don't usually get me (with the exception of Robin Williams) but when I read this my heart dropped. That's terrible.

betty white died. i’m genuinely so sad... i literally was watching the golden girls the other day, and now she’s gone?? just a few weeks before her 100th birthday, too?? i hate it here. :/

just checked twitter to confirm, and that sucks, man. we really thought 2021 couldn't get any worse, and then it sniped us at the last second by taking away an icon.

For some reason, nothing makes me more livid than being explained something I already know, especially if it's something I would research a lot. Even if the person couldn't have known, it still pisses me off. Dang

I placed an offer on a house. The house needs a lot of work and it’s definitely a fixer upper, but I saw so much possibilities and fell in love with it. I had already planned inside my head all the decorations and fixes I would do. It has also been sitting in the market for many months. Even though I put an offer for the full amount of what the seller was looking for, they countered back with so many terms and conditions that I just don’t feel comfortable agreeing to, or my realtor felt comfortable. They want a non refundable 20k deposit if the sale doesn’t close in 30 days. I’m already pre-approved and I don’t see anything going wrong, but anything can happen and I’m not comfortable possibly losing 20k. I tried a counter offer to negotiate with a contingency of me finding a loan, and also changing the 30 days to 45 (which is the average number of days for a close) but they won’t budge.

So it looks like I won’t be getting the house. I just found out today and I’m just a bit sad for New Years. I have people coming over, and it’s hard because my eyes keep watering.

edit: my realtor just called back and there might be some hope. I’m still feeling a bit weary and melancholic.

Welp, my roommate tested positive for covid and everyone is my house is sick except for me. (we were all vaccinated)
Now, I feel like it's a matter of time before I show symptoms, I woke up with a sore throat this morning.
Looks like it's time to quarantine, which sucks because my roommate doesn't get paid sick time and now doesn't know how they're going to pay rent.

Wow, I'm sorry I feel sorry for your roommate too :/ Idk where you live but if they can't even pay that to people who are carrying dangerous illnesses something's rotten...

The good old USA, if you don't work full time it's not required. It's so dumb.

i'm having a pretty **** time right now. i'm coming up on my second year after graduating from college and i feel just as lost as ever. i have no idea what i'm doing. no idea what i want to do. i have two part time jobs that i work at 7 days a week and neither look promising as long term jobs. it feels like everyone i went to school with all have their lives moving in at least some direction. i'm living at home feeling sorry for myself unable to leave.

i feel pretty limited on what i can do to begin with. i've been regretting what i majored in in college, i regret not making more connections, doing internships. i would like to move out of my home town but, again, there's not much i can really do. i can't afford to move and i can't afford to go back to school.

on top of that, i have lost all but two of my friends. i have never felt more alone in my entire life. i literally do not have any friends in my hometown anymore.

and my laptop is on it's last legs so i'm about to have to buy a new one of those and I REALLY CANNOT afford it, but i don't really have a choice.

everything is going wrong and i want to cry.
