Random Fail: First World Problems

Wait you get to play with airsoft guns as a job?

[TheDirtyHobo]

I don't get a gun, I just get to be constantly shot by shithead customers that can't follow basic rules.

It could be the alternator, the starter, or the battery itself.

It could be the alternator, the starter, or the battery itself.

I pretty much know that's our options in regards to our car issue. Thankfully I was actually working this Saturday a rarity and work at the dealership we got our car from so they were kind enough to keep the car over the weekend and give us a loaner until Monday. We are theorizing that the alternator is either going out way prematurely ( 32k miles) or when my husband kept it on accessory mode accidentally for an extended time it put the battery into a weakened state. The battery test and starting from cold start should help determine.

Still under warranty until 50k miles so if it is either we are covered but as we are planning a trip to SoCal in a week and a half thinking of renting a car to be safe.

Kid has croup and stridor. One of the operations analysts I was working with last week from Alabama said her daughter had croup and stridor. FUCKING WHORE. And I seem to have caught the bug as well. Noah ended up going to Children's in the middle of the night to get a steroid treatment.

Looking for a new place to live and realized for most of the places I like, I am fucked.

I left my old apartment complex about 8 months ago because the place was damn near uninhabitable. I'm not talking about minor petty things, I am talking about massive problems. The electricity in the spare room/bathroom was out, a large leak was causing a $200 a month water bill and the ceiling of the garage to bow, broken/leaking AC in Florida. They wouldn't fix this stuff for like a solid 4+ months so I broke my lease. I paid the lease break fee my contract stated ($2600) and didn't get my deposit back (like $500) but they still said I owed them more money (wanted an extra $2800), I told them not a chance and they were lucky they got what they got out of me.

So whilst I feel fully justified in what I did, I know when I apply to places I'm now going to get red flagged on rental history. And the annoying thing is I paid rent on time every single month without fail for the 3.5 years I was there. All the other checks will come back perfect (12 years with same company, way over the income requirements, ~780 credit rating with no bad marks) but I know 'bad' rental history will be an auto-reject for a lot of places.

Sit down, talk to an actual leasing agent instead of applying online, and be upfront about the situation. They can flag your application for manager review even if the system rejects the "bad" rental history. Honestly if you followed the terms regarding breaking the lease (gave notice, paid the fee, w/e) you should be fine.

I had a roommate for a while that had horrendous credit, and we were upfront about it during the application. Took a bit longer because a manager had to review it, but never got turned down.

Uggg half the escalators in the mall and the movie theater weren't working. I mean I usually walk up them/take the stairs anyways but now I was stuck behind slow people

that should be on your landlord. Florida in even worse shape than I thought.

The dryer belongs to me. I owned it before my landlord took over the property. I mean...maaaaaybe I could call them and see if they would do anything not realizing that the dryer belongs to me. Worth a shot I guess?

I just took a bit of a clementine, it was straight-up crunchy.

[mallister]

yeah so today, i got in quasi-trouble for doing too much work. i have a rage hangover at this point, they have simply jumped the fucking shark with this one.

Vietnamese shop had these new bulgogi sandwiches today. Went to get one and the lady in line before me literally got the last one.

So then I got a Brian's Special (grilled pork w/ veggies and a cut fried egg on top), subbed in roast pork instead of grilled pork (they don't have a roast pork sandwich that comes w/ egg) and the girl making my sandwich forgot to put the egg on it (which is extra compared to the regular roast pork sandwich)

Double fail

So favorite fastish food burrito chain has filed bankruptcy and we took care of some of their final cleaning up. Kind of weird too cause they had just opened a new store near my apartment a year ago... which promptly closed like a month later.

Also new guy at work after being here like 3 months continues to fail to fill out invoices for the customers/us. So they have no clue what to pay or worse part of it was already filled out for their regular service so they think that's all they have to pay and we have no idea what they should be charge or sometimes if he even did them at all. Plus he seems to sometimes skip stops or not do all the work there. Despite just not doing half the job and always the most eager to get done early he still takes way longer than any of the other drivers... but since all he does all day is mutter angrily about how Hillary should've won in between periods of staring off into space and ignoring everyone no one wants to go with him to make sure he does his job and gets done in an appropriate amount of time

Looking to buy furniture (sofa and seat mostly) and a table for my new place. Once never shopped for one before until now. I'm over it. Everything should match but if people understood my flowery sofa and striped brown seat looked horrendous together before and i don't care now. And I'm supposed to get a rug because hard wood floor... I'm brain fried.
I came into best buy and the Samsung TVs are on sale and now I'm stuck trying to decide if i want to get a TV or furniture. I'm leaning towards a TV because my computer chair works well enough and i want one more. The lack of furniture in my place is alarming though, and i know the responsible choice is to get what i lack ands not to replace what already works...but man i want a 4k TV

Get furniture.

Ikea brah.

I'm convinced our office is making me and everyone else sick. I don't have any history of allergies except when I'm here and others are the same.

There's no air circulation that I'm aware of just cold air blasted in all day with no open doors or windows. The vents are filthy and they think running a purifier they rarely clean is going to solve everything. I hate this overpriced pos temporary place we are forced into.
