Not keeping your bloody calendar up to date, and then having the gall to be ignorant of those who do keep their calendars. Especially in times like this.

When I put the effort into coordinating and finding a free slot for half a dozen people, please don’t email me back 5 minutes later saying you can’t make it and suggest a time where everyone else is booked up.

I’m sure I have brought this one up before. But it cannot be understated.

Two weeks ago I had to take the morning off for an appointment. Around 10:30 I am getting messages asking me if I am ok and where I am.

I said I have the morning off and its marked in our teams calendar.

Was then followed by a "well they only look when deemed necessary"

Amazon Prime's shipping scam.

- Free two day delivery!
-$6.99 next day delivery!

Use free option, and item is still delivered next day.

Amazon prime. Why am i paying for this for 2 day shipping, when its more like 2 month. Anyone bitch at them yet?

[killramos]

What I am noticing is amazon is sandbagging.

Lots of stuff shipping way sooner than promised for me.

[jwslam]

+1 my 1 month estimates are more like 1 week... still upset about it though.

I alternate between 33 and 34" waist jeans. They're all Warehouse One bootcuts. The 33s have 5 belt loops, the 34s have 7. I hate that.

I have complained multiple times, they just say choose the next day option and we will reimburse shipping fees

They are shipping more important items first, that being said I have received some items within a few days that said ~1 month

anyone who thinks amazon isn't handling this correctly, feel free to use the alternatives. I'm actually impressed and pleased with how they've dealt with this massive disruption to their business model.

My pet peeve with them right now is around filament... Somehow that's almost all 30+ days. Kinda stupid when the maker community is doing face shield frames etc for the medical community.

Just order it and it'll come. Folks will be needing face shields in 30 days anyway.

Welcome to an industry that has created a "instant need" type society and when they can't they cry.

I don't think his intent is to complain about the slow delivery. It's that his filament, which can be used for printing an 'essential need' mask, is not deemed as an 'essential need' product and de-prioritized.

I would bet you could speak to someone through chat and it would come through earlier.

IP targeted advertising.

Go into incognito mode on my tablet to look for my wife's birthday present, 5 minutes later her phone is getting ads for the stuff I was looking at.

Fuck right off with that shit. I don't want to have to sign up for a damned VPN just to look for presents.

I get that all the time. Often with toddlers in tow...

I’m sure these are all the same Karen’s who will yell at you to STAY HOME and not drive around.

It's me on the road. My way of asserting dominance over you lesser primates.

Nobody's favorite pop is Fresca except me, but as soon as pop goes on sale it's the first thing sold out. Co-op has a knockoff that's pretty decent, and that's sold out too. Stocked to the tits with every other fuckin flavor though.

I drink fresca when I buy my donairs. Is that some kind of east coast thing I picked up like the clap somehow? good lord.

I'm not much for ethnic food so I couldn't say about that, but I support your Fresca drinking as long as there's some left for me.

People complaining all day on how the season sucks because they cannot travel or have fires due to the fireban.

The season doesn't suck. Your life sucks.
Make the best out of what you have.
