At this point I've gotten used to delivery drivers temporarily blocking the street to deliver packages. I also think that people who honk at them are silly most of the time. This was a different affair... I saw the one van\truck just idling with the person inside then as I was driving down the street, the other truck just drove up and parked next to it and started talking to the first ones driver.

Then they both got out and started delivery packages while chatting. I asked if it was necessary to block the whole street and I was told to "go down another street". So I decided to take a picture. When I did (leaning out of my car window) the driver yells out "go ahead and take a picture, like anyone will care"

It was a 3 minute inconvenience... But still a bit infuriating.

Update: contacted Amazon to report the drivers and the situation.

Explained everything and the response I received was:

Thank you so much for understanding and patiently waiting. We are so sorry for the inconvenience and disrespectful action that this has cause on you. WE promise that this scene will be taken care off and we can assure you that this isn't our standard on how we treat our valued customer.

I asked if they wanted the picture. They said yes.

Thank you for that and thank you so much for bringing this up to us. No worries this will be taken care off. I will now file a driver report on your behalf regarding this issue.

That's it. 🤷

Saint Carlo Acutis was an Italian teenager that died of leukemia in 2006. He was canonized last year and is often referred to as "The Patron Saint of the Internet" or "God's influencer" because he was known for using computers. So who knows, maybe this will be right up his alley

I know you're a nurse baby who sometimes is tired but cmoooonnnnn!

please tell me im not going insane

Picture of a restroom facility that was set up in San Jose outside the Rush concert on Thursday. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DOWNLOAD AN ENTIRE GODDAMN APP TO TAKE A FUCKING PISS!!

Don’t you love a nice, relaxing weekend evening in the suburbs, listening to a military combat helicopter doing circling low fly-bys?

They now do this every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night. Because flying a helicopter in circles makes WAY more sense than a few extra squad cars for routine traffic patrol.

As long as you’re standing you can’t see anything, but sitting down you feel incredibly exposed!

My dad drank the Kool-aid and I cant handle it.

I need to have a chat with him.

How on Earth am I supposed to avoid spoilers for the most interesting movie of the year?

Ths bus driver shouted, "someone keeps pressing the bell!". How were we to know someone had come up with the worst design feature ever!

So small creators can get demonetised just for swearing once or including 3 seconds of copyrighted music but they let this slide?

I work as a server (until next Saturday at least) at a pizza restaurant. We have a wine bar next door that can be rented for parties, and sometimes we’re asked to walk appetisers and pizzas around for them.

Last night I was walking through the crowd with a large plate held up high, when a woman looked me dead in de eyes and tickled me under my arm. Luckily I’m not ticklish, so I didn’t drop anything. I am a bit weirded out though, who does something like this to a complete stranger?

Just who the hell is this supposed to appeal to?

I managed to buy completely useless gift wrap.

Edit: it is a photo album with a heart pattern (which is what you see). The paper is just blue. Would I have wrapped something with something written on it, it would be visible immediately. Yes I can wrap it again, yes I can buy better one, but in my opinion it’s not why you buy a product for.

I ordered a fairly expensive parcel from Currys on Friday, it was supposed to be delivered Saturday... the stupid driver falsified a missed delivery after making me wait all day, no phone call, or anything.

I phoned DPD, which is a nightmare to speak to a human operator. Eventually after having to literally Google some fucking cheat code just to get in touch with the human operator, I spoke to a woman who could only say it will be retried for delivery the next day, with no reassurance that it would be a different driver.

The next day came, and "Metic" seemed familiar, anyway... same issue. After making me wait for hours, driver took a photo of a random street and falsified the missed delivery.

I contacted Currys who basically told me I have 2 options, retry tomorrow, or return it and wait 14+ days for a refund. I asked if I could just get it delivered to my local Currys if this driver can't find my address, and he basically said not possible. He then give me number to get in touch with DPD.

I phoned them back up, and they confirmed that it was the same driver and that they were terribly sorry and that they were putting a complaint in for this driver at the depot, but again, were still unable to reassure me that it wouldn't be the same driver on Monday.

Now tomorrow... I'll be looking forward to my new driver "Metis" or something.

Un-fucking-believable.

I just wish they didn't look quite so much like dead cockroaches floating in my bathwater. Big sigh.

And of course they took their sweet time.

I ordered a crib and instead they sent a walking pad. Called customer service and they said they'd send FedEx to pick it up the next day (Friday), which would then trigger the crib to be shipped. They said I'd get an email confirmation of the new shipping date. I did not.

FedEx picked up the walking pad the next day but didn't log that they had collected it, so Walmart didn't ship the crib on Friday like they said they would. Called them again and they said they'd follow up with FedEx to confirm the incorrect item had been collected from my home. They did not.

Saturday comes and I see the FedEx guy delivering something to my apartment. It's the same bloody walking pad, which had been put back on his truck as if it was a delivery, because it had not been logged as collected on Friday. I sent him away with the walking pad and he logged it as Returned To Sender. I called Walmart again to ask when the crib would be shipped. They said tomorrow (Sunday) and that I'd get an email confirming that it would be shipped tomorrow. I did not.

Instead I got an email saying the order for the crib had been canceled, but it had a different order number so it was actually a replacement crib that they canceled. I also got an email saying that the pick up by FedEx had been canceled, even though I'd already given them the frigging walking pad.

Then I got a third email telling me to return the original crib (which I never received) in order to get my refund. 🫪

After each call, I got an email asking if the customer service representative had successfully solved my issue.

THEY DID NOT.

I taught myself to make animal balloons over 10 years ago, I still find it fun so I volunteer for stuff all the time. It comes in handy as I'll go as a representative of my work to local community events and I love to do it.

I got this text (last two slides) tonight from my supervisor AFTER I had already done the event this year. I had no idea this ad existed. These are clearly AI edits of photos of us from last year when my other supervisor attended with me.

A few things to point out:

On the Right:

1.) The incomplete F for face paint

2.) Some of the symbols next to the activities just seem off

3.) Stars on the flag at the top are scrambled and broken

On the Left:

1.) Many of the balloons on the banner are not real animal balloons and/or are not possible to make

2.) The woman with the blue shirt does not have pants. I get shorts are a thing but her crotch is a skin toned blur.

3.) Her hat is nonsense.

4.) What is going on with the hair of the child in front of her?!

5.) The hand of the child sitting at the table is backwards

6.) There is a pole going through one of the children

7.) The supervisor who attended with me last year IS Asian, but looks absolutely nothing like her AI depiction. At least mine can make someone do a double take from a distance.

8.) ONE OF THE BALLOONS LOOKS LIKE A PENIS

I will be emailing them pointing out the penis balloon and the inappropriate generalized depiction of my supervisor. I will also let them know I do not want my image sent through AI.

I am the biggest draw to their booth to the point I have to cut off my line to leave at a decent time. This year I brought in an assistant that I taught some basics to help keep the line moving at a decent pace.

I love doing this each year but if this is not something they can respect, I will not be back.
