Pet Peeves

It crashed a few times, apparently.

It did finally go live sometime after 8:30 am . . . and it is taking a while to finish. I've been working on it for not quite an hour.

A friend said it apparently only takes 15 minutes to complete.... she said that is bs.

Apparently the province greatly underestimated the response.

Still working on it =_=

Edit: 1 hour and 45 minutes. =_=

And I am still waiting on the confirmation email. I have a confirmation number, though

Just email from my friend, she said to hell with it.... it’s not worth aggravation.

[Lady tehMa]

Done!

It is worth it - that's going towards new windows.

Okay: "new year - new you"

This push to change everything on an arbitrary day. Rarely succeeds. I refuse to participate. If I'm ready to change, I will work towards it.

Also: I get that you've changed something in your life and you are thrilled but you sound like an Amway marketer trying to get me to sign up. If anything you are just annoying me further AWAY from your life change. I'm not going to become a vegan/minimalist/whatever and I'm sure as h-e-double-hockey-sticks not going to sign up for you to be my life coach!!!!

Not so much a pet peeve but "hmm, isn't that interesting" ... someone finally decides to start posting whether they joined years ago or a couple of months ago and have more likes than posts.

Grocery shopping for a few items and you end up coming home with 8 full bags.

Idiotic people who think their dog wants to sit in the car while they do some grocery shopping. Idiot got out of her smallish car but left the sunroof open. Of course the dog went through the sunroof and took off running. Good thing one of the firefighters there caught the dog and fashioned a leash to keep the dog safe until the SFB's owner showed up.

Trying to get through to a particular telephone/internet/cable supplier and I just keep going round and round and round in circles.
Contact Us. Click on it a couple of times and I'm back where I started.
Still have questions? Click on it and ...... I'm back where I started.
Look for the little icon to "talk" to the computer. It's not there.
Look for a place to e-mail them. No where.
Maybe it's time for another nasty letter. But where to mail it?

They win.

THIS INSANITY. This faecal matter is being touted as "the right way to think" and I am getting tired of it!

Academics called breastfeeding 'ethically problematic' because it endorses 'gender roles.' Their view is gaining traction.
U.S. academics wrote in a study published in 2016 that the promotion of breastfeeding as the "natural" way to feed infants is "ethically problematic."
The academics argued that the term "breastfeeding" could "endorse a controversial set of values about family life and gender roles."
Now, major hospitals in the United Kingdom are echoing these points.

IDIOTS.

This is the Thought Police Orwell warned against. Go to a university now and talk about breast feeding being a womanly thing and you will be shouted down.

We live in an insane World now.

When I first saw that article I thought "this HAS to be satire!" Nope! Insanity is right!
