It’s Thursday!
Once again, it is time to bring out your mardy pants and have a right big sulk, because it’s the Complaints Thread.
Come on in and have a chat – what’s gone wrong, pinged when it should not have, or gone boom this week?

The kids have flu. They were kind enough to share it with me.
So far only one of them has been to hospital, hoping to keep it that way.
Was thinking of getting a heat pump. Maximum warranty is 5 years. They cost £5k to replace. No thanks, I’ve been hurt before.
Towel fell on floor from drying rack. Cat decided that this floor towel was obviously his place to urinate.
My solicitor ‘forgot’ I had a help to buy isa so didn’t apply for the bonus of 3k before completion on my first flat. Then tried to make out it was my fault. I’ve written a formal complaint but could have done without that stress on moving day.
People at the gym who are blatantly ill and coughing everywhere. And they’re the same people who don’t wipe down the equipment after they’re finished! No one else wants your germs, tyvm!! I feel like I should start spraying them directly in the face with a disinfectant bottle.
Also my waist and crotch are bruised to fuck from the harness at bungee fit on Tuesday. Had a great workout but I am *sore*.
There was a decent electrical engineer at work who told me products are designed to last a set amount of time, just past warranty. I’m now paranoid that products with Internet capabilities can update patches that cause the equipment to fail. Cheers pal
This reminds me I need to check on the status of my monitor return/replacement. It lasted all of a week.
Edit: Still stuck “Awaiting Testing”… FFS
It’s mum’s funeral today so…yeah going to be a tough day. But it’s only after that I can start looking forward, been in a kind of emotional limbo for two weeks. We’ll give her a good send off though, that’s for sure.
Everything else kinda pales in comparison but there’s plenty to moan about. My fucking car is still in the garage and I want it back. Due to that, a chest infection and shit weather, I’ve not been to the gym for over 2 weeks and I can feel it. I deal with shit life events by either going into a super healthy phase or super unhealthy phase and I’ve kinda been steered into the latter. Hopefully next week is the start of steady improvement. Can’t get much worse.
I’ve picked up a nasty bug somewhere – I’ve got a very sore throat (and no voice) and headaches all around. No other symptoms yet, but it’s only day 2 so here’s hoping it won’t get too much worse…
The skin round my ears. Driving me crazy. Keeping me awake at night. Red, sore, hit, even blistering. It suddenly flared out of nowhere a week or so ago having been perfectly normal skin before and doctors don’t know what it is or what has caused it. I’ve had steroids creams, emollients, antihistamines, antifungals and have just been given antibiotics. How a bit of sore skin can make you so miserable I’ve no idea. It’s dominated my week. So fed up.
Fingers crossed my Lord Death comes to surround me with his sweet embrace & release me from this world of lies. Failing that I’ll have to bleed the feckin radiators. Cold as a witch’s tit in the front room.
Overall, people are better at caring about things that they know they can’t do anything about on the other side of the world than they are about matters closer to home because it means they don’t actually have to do anything but look virtuous online and soak up dopamine through their desperate lying eyes. The internet is like a nihilistic global cult in the way it dictates people’s thoughts, feelings and behaviour in this way.
Good morning 😊
What’s that? You want to put my bills up by up to £20 a month whilst you pay out billions to shareholders and in bonuses to your CEO and not actually do any of the things you’ve been ordered to do, like provide a service and repair leaks?
I thought insurance companies couldn’t offer lower rates to new customers than they do for renewals anymore.
I discovered this yesterday because my renewal puts me over the £1k figure per year, which as a ~50 year old owner of a japanese econobox with 9 years NCD is a bit rough.
Their own website (no meerkats involved!) gave me a quote 200 quid lower, but their justification was that new customers get better deals than renewals.
I’m sorted now, but I thought we stopped that crap, so it was more work I had to do just to not get ripped off.
Moving house atm, we’re in the limbo between exchange and completion. One on hand it’s nice we’ve exchanged, on the other hand there’s the “after exchange” list of to do which include – cancel virgin media and pack a lifetimes worth of stuff into boxes.
That’s not my complaint though, the thought of trying to cancel virgin media can’t hold a candle to….
I’ve somehow chipped my fucking laptop screen glass and cunting apple say it’s £500 + 10 days to get it repaired. WTF. I’ve told them to do one.
I’m going to order one off ebay and try and do it myself and I might just take a pile of laptop to apple if I fail.
If you throw that into the mix I do feel rarther stressed.
It’s cold. I would rather stay in bed, but there’s children who need crossing safely and drivers who don’t care.
Anxiety is doing my head in. I mentioned this a few weeks back but i recently found out my dad isnt my dad (thanks Ancestry) and that i’ve got siblings i never knew i had in America.
No response back from my bio dad, but after some digging i found and messaged my siblings on FB the other day but its just showing sent/delivered. I just keep checking it all the time to see if it’s changed to read. I can deal with my bio dad not wanting to know, but as a hitherto only child having siblings feels much more significant to me.
It’s taking up so much head space.
I seem to have had to clean up lots of unpleasant messes recently. Need to get some antiseptic disinfectant asap.
Why are people so spiteful? Sadly, I am so used to it now that it barely even registers I just consign them to the graveyard of archived chats and delete their contact and move on. Anyway, a huge thing that they would love has landed on me and I am taking a small amount of pleasure in the fact they will never know. Also valuing my genuine friends more.
