Welcome to Thursday.
- Is your slinky on fire?
- Are your colleagues stupid?
- Delivery company can’t find its arse with both hands?
- Some appliance has gone bang with a rather expensive sounding ping?
Whatever your complaint, come on in and have a chat.

Having doubts about a new job I started as unsure if future promises about the future of what I’m working on will be kept. I might be overthinking it, but time will tell.
It’s sad how much I look forward to this thread every week so I can over share with strangers on the internet, right?
Anyway I’ve been eating lots of protein and fibre and the impact on my bowels is not fun.
i woke up at 5:30am for no fuckin’ reason.
got bored and setup a meal planning/recipe tool on my home server.
now i’m hungry as i’m finding recipes to add to it.
fuck.
I had some rather bad news yesterday evening and still in shock. Luckily not back to work until Saturday, so have a little time to adjust. Hope to catch up with a good friend today and get some RL tea and sympathy.
On a more casual note, I will likely have to throw away nearly a whole bag of cat food, thought I’d try something new and one of the little monsters is farting, constantly and toxically, EW. Might see if next door wants to give it a go rather than wasting it!
I’ve had dry skin forever, it’s so bad my skin flakes off my face throughout the day and causes me pain.
Decided to start using skincare to combat it. Works incredibly, cannot stress enough how much better I feel. Month and a half in, sudden allergic reaction to something in it and I have to stop using that brand. I start a new brand, but issue. I’m not dependent on skincare so I’m not in pain as I can’t deal with that anymore, but I can’t figure out what I’m allergic to so I’m curing one issue by triggering another.
I think I’m going to have to see if I can get an allergic test at the doctor but idk how that works/if I can get it NHS/if they do it for allergies that aren’t life threatening etc.
I also might have covid so all happening at once
Sent the guy I’ve been seeing a text on Tuesday about something that had upset me at work
He replied yesterday evening apologising for not having replied but he’s been working on his bike all day and that he’s not got an excuse for not replying but he’s sorry.
I appreciate the apology and he usually only messages me at the end of the day anyway (just his texting style) but it does hurt a little. I know I’m being sensitive but it still sucks.
I know he’ll message me about what I’ve said at some point but even so.
Really struggling with work at the moment, and it’s because colleagues just aren’t pulling their weight. Management feel like there’s nothing they can do about these colleagues. I’m absolutely exhausted from juggling multiple projects and IT service desk tickets. My brain is actually starting to crumble like wet cake.
I started writing gibberish in emails and Teams to people like “I can meeting any time of the time on Friday but Jon holiday til next week, need him?”
This took a fucking age to type out!
I’ve got a headache and i want to go back to sleep but I also really need a poo.
I do not have a great history with main dealers for any car I’ve ever had. But last year, I bought a relatively shiny one so decided to take it to have all its computers polished or something at the dealer.
Brake discs and pads needed changing. Fair enough. More expensive than a third party but I’m trying it this once.
They washed the car. Nice. Except that while washing the car, they managed to tear both wing mirrors apart. They’re (visibly) back together now, but the folding sounds like something is trapped and both indicators are fucked. I had a look in one of them. Short version, destroyed wiring and casing. Fucked.
Manager wasn’t there on Tuesday. Waiting for his call today. Hate stuff like this. Plus, I’m in a client office today so it’s awkward. Bright side, my client is a building with hundreds of lawyers in, and my team has two consumer law type people on.
I regret buying a pen plotter, it’s just needlessly difficult to set up and maintain. But I can’t actually send it back because it’s from China and they’re trying their best not to offer me a refund by giving me even more vague instructions.
Urgh can’t be fucked. Should’ve got out of bed 10 minutes ago. Can’t be fucked.
I’ve got either a cold or covid (embarrassing to get that in 2025 I know).
I’ve been ill since Sunday and everyday I’m getting worse and it’s annoying the hell out of me.
I’ve had an offer accepted on a property. I really love the place and I’m desperate for my own space but family and friends are all excited and congratuting me, but I just feel terrified. I’m like a scared little kid with my head swimming with survey, solicitors etc.
Need to start ringing solicitors on my break which is the last thing I want to do with how mad work is lately
Took mum and the rest of the close family out for a rather excellent and expensive Chinese meal last night for her birthday.
Turns out that the salt & pepper dishes we ordered really didn’t mess about with the salt.
Feel like someone has osmosed all the water out of my face.
Having to travel 120 miles, lose a day of work and a £70 train ticket to get a blood test, because I still haven’t been successfully referred to my local hospital for my cancer treatment 6 months after moving.
I don’t begrudge going back for the treatment itself, although that has those costs too, but doing the same journey a week before just for a blood test is infuriating.
You’d think the blood could be drawn by my local nurse but it’s impossible for them to share results between care trusts.
I’m not hard up, I can pay for this, but it stings and seems so wasteful.
Sorry, bit too serious of a complaint. I’d also like to complain that my new smart thermostat system is everywhere so slightly louder than I’d like.
Only thing I have to complain about this fine morning is that I’ve ran out of e-liquid and the shop isn’t anywhere near open.
The UK evisa system has just had a massive data breach. If you sign in it will reveal someone else’s nationality and passport number.
Not reported yet in mass media though.
If you’re in the UK on a visa check your evisa details and contact the Home Office if needed.
Kicking myself that I didn’t take opportunities when they arose earlier, but life (having kids and being a main carer for 2 terminally ill grandparents then my husband and now my mum) was more important
Going to lay here and cry for a bit
Ironic complaint… it’s too warm!
Let me explain…
The heating pipes make noises when working, but only when it’s cold cold.
The only GP who listens to me regarding chronic issues is leaving the practice, and has no appointments left. I almost cried with relief after my first appointment with her, and now I am almost grieving that she is leaving. I was put on a list for a routine appointment with whoever (pref. woman) on Monday. Yesterday I got a call at 8:05am offering me an appointment on 19th of March, at the wrong surgery, with a gentleman I met once 15 years ago and have refused to see ever since. Needless to say, I am back on the list.
Don’t want to get all maudlin or anything and I definitely dont want sympathy.
But I googled the name of a guy that at one time was my best friend in all the world. I hadn’t seen him since 1994 and one of the results was a funeral director announcing his death and funeral arrangements for his family. He died back in 2021.
Tired. Premenstrual. Working at home for the next 2 days but have shit loads of meetings so I can’t watch TV in the background.
My husband is growing chillis in a hydroponics set up and it absolutely *reeks* because of the fertiliser in the water. He won’t put it outside yet because the plants are too fragile for the current cold weather overnight. Genuinely want to gag when I walk past it 😠
Conversation with colleague:
“Can you help me get into this? I’m locked out”
“Okay, what’s your username?”
“I don’t know”
“Okay, what’s the email address associated with your account? Work or personal?”
“I don’t know what you mean”
“Okay, let’s try work email as I know yours. Any password suggestions?”
“No”
“Not one? Not one you’ve used before?”
“No”
“Okay well let’s click “forgotten password” and see if anything turns up on your work email. Oh, it says there’s no account with that email. Do you have another email address?”
“I don’t know”
“Well with no username, email address or password I don’t think I can help you.”
“Look, could you at least try and work it out!!”
Car has an mot today.
I dread to imagine.
After months of trying to sort something out, I’ve been finally told my contract isn’t being renewed.
Totally gutted, will miss the team.
I don’t know if it’s a Reddit thing, a gamer thing, a young people thing or any combination of these things but I strongly dislike the word drip being used to refer to an outfit.
I hate office politics so much. I’m not sure I have another 30+ years of this bullshit in me.
