minor inconveniences that are not struggles

imagine never being let into the discord to begin with 

[james]

I was banned from a splatoon discord for saying people without vaccine should be excluded from society

This one really hit because they were good players

Got kicked from affiliated server too



And I just added like 6 of them to my Switch friends list two days ago

I hadnt played Splatoon in 1 year 6 month and then this happens to me. They sucked me back in only to spit me out

And we were going to play Splatoon 1 on Wii U this weekend

Got a new iPhone 12 Pro like 4 weeks ago.
I've been BABYING it. Like, super careful.
Earlier today, I ordered a new $40 case for it, to prevent harm. It will arrive tomorrow.
Set an alarm to remind me to give my Mom her medication. It went off in the parking lot.
I pulled the phone of my pocket. It slipped out of my hands and fell onto the asphalt.
It works fine, didn't do anything weird (yet), but the bezel looks like a pitbull tried to chew toy it.
I hadn't eaten anything proper yet, and the adrenaline spike made my knees wobbly. I was SO PISSED at myself.

…later I realized that I could've even turned off the alarm via my watch, instead of even taking it out of my pocket.

Update: I can’t charge it now.

[archnemesis]

My previous phone's screen had to replaced twice. I ordered my current iPhone with an overpriced official flip case to avoid the same thing from happening again.

It's a bit bulky, but a positive change is that I no longer see the screen so I'm less distracted by notifications.

What phone doesn't ship with a cheap plastic case these days?

I bought the AppleCarePlus, so I’m covered. But it’s a Japanese phone, so getting the correct carrier version would’ve taken time.

I went in to the Apple Store, and the guy there cleaned the port. Apparently it’s unrelated to the drop: some kinda crud. Completely baffled as to what it might be.

Charges again now.

Case arrives tonight.

phones are pathetic babbies these day. it's like that meme with the buff historic doge and then the modern wimpy doge.

"oh no I can't charge because pocket lints  :'("

Absolutely not. Never have, never will be stupid enough to buy Apple shit.

I was given a permanent ban to the coronavirus subreddit for being a troll




I messaged them and they agreed to reverse it

 


Guys, am I a toxic  person?

I just want people to like me

You might have some anger issues.

I mean, I do, too.

It's good to work on anger issues. Getting rid of anger as a reaction will help us live longer.

Well, I just majorly fucked up.  Went outside to walk my dog and someone showed me a picture of another tenant and asked if they lived here.  I said yes without thinking.  talked to the tenant and they are being harassed by people and I now confirmed they live here. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Just talked to the tenant again - she is an activist that did a counter anti-mask protest last weekend and the guy that showed up was the boyfriend of the lawyer of a notorious anti masker.  Apparently, she has been getting harassed by anti-maskers and white supremacists all week.

[team filler]

the mask thing really gets that serious for people   


if you see them again, tell them the apartments are "Mask Only". you may potentially have to kill or maim. be vigilant and you may vanquish this evil. save your fellow tenant and become rich! your destiny awaits you as the george zimmerman of the left!

Ask if they want to play Splatoon

You'll likely never see them again.

[chronovore]

Smash Bros works too.

[team filler]

do you have the right lack of hygiene and enough extra weight to fake a smash bros player?

Someone on the street came up to me:

Person:  "I had a shiba too, for 20 years.  She died 6 months ago"

Me:  "O that's really nice"

My post heroically calling our Borks lies was deleted

My post lamenting my loss of 5 likes had TWO whole likes.

I demand reparations for these continued insults

Don't worry, the thread and all associated likes still exist in thread purgatory.

Fun with new ISP!

---

Chat:

ISP: Your installation appointment for tomorrow has been cancelled.

Me: Why is that?  I didn't request this.

ISP: Service at your address was soft-disconnected, so the team cancelled your appointment.

Me: I just moved to this address.  I am a *new* customer.

ISP: Whoops!  We'll have someone out tomorrow.  I promise!

***20 minutes later***

They called me:

ISP: No one is coming out.  We disconnected your service.  Plus you have to return your modem.

Me: Uh...?  I'm a new customer...?

ISP: You need to go to a local store with [shitloads of documents, proof of ownership, and IDs] for help.  Or call billing.

Me: Can you transfer me?

ISP: No. 



---

Chat:

Me: Someone just told me that nobody is coming and my service has been disconnected.  I'm really confused because I'm a new customer.  I don't have any service yet.

ISP: Did you get our equipment already?

Me: No, I signed up for service. 

ISP: OK.  They disabled your account.  But I can set it up again, no worries.

***10 minutes later***

ISP: It won't let me do it.  May I ask that you call 1-800-WAIT-FOREVER?

And I've now been on hold for 45 minutes.

 

[bork]

After an hour on hold, I get technical support.  This time the person thankfully knows what's going on and tells me that I need to be transferred to sales to set the account up again.

I get transferred...

...and this puts me back into the same queue that I called in the first place, with an automated voice telling me to restart the modem for troubleshooting purposes, wait 10 minutes, then it hangs up on me. 


I am now unable to call them back since it just tells me the modem I don't have is restarting.   

[Raist]

I mean at least they won't charge you.





Or will they

[team filler]

he didn't pay the bill, that's why they disconnected service 

[bork]

I mean at least they won't charge you.





Or will they

Heh- I was charged a fee already, a few weeks ago, when I set up the install date.  When they started saying they'd have to start over with the account, I mentioned this and got a long pause before they said "you'll get credited at some point for that." 

I can service from my current ISP at this new address, too, it's just that the don't offer the same speeds and it would be a bit of a downgrade. After last night, I think I may end up just sticking with them regardless and will just do a chargeback on the other ISP.

[samir]

This is your punishment for protecting the cool young dude

[bork]

Was on the phone with my current ISP for 15 minutes- got service transferred, plus discounts, and no data cap for less than I pay monthly now.

The phone part was an hour.  I played Street Fighter while I waited.

That feel when you realize everyone you know IRL just uses you for convenience and doesn't really care about your wellbeing in the slightest

I mean no human is owed recognition or love, yet still we yearn...

[Tasty]

Some of them want to use you

Some of them want to get used by you

Some of them want to abuse you

Got rear ended today, neck/shoulders/back already starting to give me issue which means I'm going to be fucked up and dealing with pain for months from this on top of all the pains from my other health problems.

Also fucked up the back of my new Tesla.

My life is so busy with so much shit going on I did not need this in my life. Turning 40 soon and it's a cursed birthday.

Thanks, definitely feeling crummy. I fucking hate getting old and brittle where stuff like this will fuck you up. Been icing my neck & back and man, icing your neck is both difficult and hard to multi-task and do anything else while doing it.

No insurance, doesn't even own a car or drive one, they were on a trip and rented a car.

What are you doing driving in LA if you never drive, no wonder they hit me   


Went to the doc today and basically said nothing seems too damaged, so just give it time and start PT if not healed in two weeks. I'm ok but I just feel like I got the crap beat out of me. Can't sit and eat without my back & neck getting painful after a few mins. Luckily my Herman Miller chair I bought a few years ago for my back support works really well and doesn't do that so I can sit for longer periods of time with just moderate neck pain. Doc said I can start using heating pads and stretching in another day or two and try to help speed up recovery.

If they're renting a car that have some kind of insurance.

If they don't that's when you sue and go after their possessions
