That it would take 3 weeks to get a bag repaired under warranty because it would need to be sent to the U.S. from Ireland and I found this out pretty close to that before Xmas. & the time of year would probably mean a delay anyway.Further that it is the one bag I have for transporting things. & if I do anything about approaching self repair I'm going to void the warranty. JUst thinking, god what a bummer to find that out now. I pretty much rely on that bag

Trying to get on a bus that's stopped in traffic to let somebody else on. I get one foot on the floor of the vehicle and the bus starts moving with a lot of the rest of me outside. I don't remember what I managed to hold onto or if something/body was blocking my progress. Got a nasty black mark on my right knee of my jeans where it hit the outside of the bus. I then started shouting hold on. & had pictures of me falling backwards losing my left footing running through my head for a while. Gorblimey.

Guy at the thanksgiving I was at, a doctor, had prada sneakers, but he was otherwise dressed with no style whatsoever, like a really boring zip jumper and a boring pair of jeans that didn't even fit that well. But the sneakers said "PRADA" on them in very large letters. Like don't spend $400 on sneakers that loudly announce their expensiveness while being a no-style-having motherfucker is all I'm saying.

haha, this is like a lot of Seattle right now: lotsa no-style tech guys who moved here straight outta Flyover State U, making serious cash that they spend on expensive, ill-fitting clothing ('cause they ordered it online instead of trying it on in a store). They would be much better off spending it on a good haircut and decent glasses.

The career/existence of the singer Pink makes me angry, as well as any time I have to hear one of her songs, which is frequently. I'm not sure whether it's irrational or not though.
I do have a really irrational one though: years ago on my daily commute, there was a woman who always sat at the front of my bus. She wore heels, and she always had her legs crossed, with the toe of her bottom foot lifted right up in the air. Like, her spike heel resting on the floor but holding her toe pointing up to the ceiling. She would do this for the entire 40 min bus ride, every single fucking day. After I noticed it the first time, it bugged me but no big deal. Then I saw her every day and she was always sitting like that. I used to watch her from wherever I was sitting and silently scream at her, "JUST RELAX YOUR FOOT AND PUT IT ON THE FUCKING FLOOR!" It was so stressful. After a while I had to force myself to think about something else and deliberately not look at her.

Her toe couldve been broken. I dated a guy who had one that did that.

No way she's wearing stilettos with a broken toe, though.
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 12:25 (nine years ago) link
No, she walked fine, and was wearing spike heels. And I saw her do this literally five mornings a week for months, at least six months on end. Sometimes she would lower her toes until they aaaalmost touched the floor, but then at the last minute point her foot up again. I don't know why I got so obsessed with it. It was really the definition of IA for me, and possibly an actual mental illness that I have otherwise managed to keep under wraps.

In the last year or so I gave in and started accepting getting on promotional email list for notifications of sales at certain clothing stores -- since I have to buy new shirts or slacks for work pretty often I found it useful to know when the sales were. But it seems like EVERY store is fucking ALWAYS having a sale, and it's not just the e-mails, but if I visit the sites then I start getting the google ads everywhere I go for the same sales, namely, the sales that are always happening at the five different stores whose e-mail lists I am on. I am going to puke if I see "30% off of sale styles" one more time.

Hey Southern Gas Network, thanks for digging up the entire pavement* up to the entrance to my block of flats** so I have to walk in the road, which you have not coned off an impromptu walkway on or anything. I felt good about walking along a main road in the dark, what could possibly go wrong?
also for the other blocked-off part opposite a crossing, it's nice to go out of your way to a crossing and then realise if you cross there you'll have nowhere to walk except in the road some more
(currently largely innocuous because there wasn't actually much traffic when I was there, but I hope it's gone before Monday morning as it's on the only route to a primary*** school)

today must be national blocked-off street daytried to drive home from the library, sat for two blocks crawling in a stupid traffic jam because of some dumb blocked off street thing that I couldn't really figure out so ducked down to next main street running in opposite direction...wee center lane blocked off, no left or right turns ever, some 'special event' with barricades and bullshit everywhere even though there was no one walking around
and then turned onto the freeway into a traffic jam because of a 4car pileup on the interchange

holiday ups/postal service IA #2,597
ordered a present for my sister 3 weeks ago. scheduled to deliver last friday according to ups tracking. and it then sat, with no updates, no nothing for 2 days. I contacted the seller's customer service. They parroted what the UPS tracking said and told me to contact UPS. cool. I do lots of package tracking through work, but we have an account and a code to actually let us talk to live ppl, but I haven't had to actually contact UPS as an entry-level user in a long time. Call UPS, get automated voice asking for tracking, give tracking, automated voice tells me what I can already read on the website, and offers a list of options, none of which is to talk to anyone.Fire up their customer service chat, talk to a person about my tracking, who for a third time now parrots back to me what's already on the website.I ask when will it deliver. She says, I'm not sure but keep an eye on the tracking. I say, I've been keeping an eye on the tracking for 3 days now, and nothing has changed. Is this package actually going to deliver?She says: keep an eye on the tracking
2 days later, so now a full 5 days of no movement, it finally updates with a bunch of destination scans and shows out for delivery, scheduled delivery today! Wee.
Get home, no package.
Check tracking. Out for delivery...to the post office. Scheduled delivery updated to: Saturday. Which explains why this thing is taking so fucking long to deliver, because the stuff that UPS carries for the postal service may as well be sent by unicycle for all the priority it gets.
I fucking hate the holidays.

Reading stuff like Sherlock Holmes, things they'd send in the morning would often get there in the afternoon. And that was before motorised transport.
In the last year I've had two things that have arrived a *month* late (birthday cards, rent cheque). I also see that other flats in the building will get nothing for weeks and then 4 things on the same day, which makes me think the PO is batching things up for some reason.
