That Itch You Can't Rant About (The Rant Thread)

[NikLR 13,227]

I've often thought about leaving dirty dishes in someone's seat or on their bed.

I did that to a roommate once with his pans. He must just pile them up and never clean them.

 

Now there are almost always dishes in our sink because we run the dishwasher multiple times per day.

I'm about to start a joyous week of 4 12-hour shifts in 4 days. No sign of 24s yet, but I wouldn't doubt they are coming.

How do these Many-hour shifts affect caring for your descendants, huh Nola-B. ma'am?

My kids stay up late anyway.

 

But, is it a question you'd ask of a man?  How does my husband's job affect his parenting?

 

Next week I'll be gone alllllll week. They'll survive.

A weekend rant:

 

We have a landline. It is terrible. Being in a rural area doesn't improve this. That means the internet is down the copper, and that copper is bad. It's so bad now I can't even use the internet and it's terrible speeds without the phone being off the hook (a delightful problem called 'high-open'), there's also times when the phone just stops working. Of course when you need to call someone or someone needs to call in, well the phone is off the hook. The constant spam calls sometimes repeating once every fifteen minutes make having the phone off the hook a delightful prospect anyway.

 

My husband said enough is enough - let us go to the cable competition and see what they offer. The salesman is a bit of a young dope, rather disinterested in his job and offers a price at one figure which of course will go up much higher after a year + the cost of router rental. Husband grows annoyed at salesman and leaves store saying he'll think about it. After doing research he finds the quoted price wasn't just for internet but a bunch of stuff we said we didn't want and finds we can just buy our own router. He finds a cheaper price. Then he asked me to check if we had fios yet. I laughed and said we do not, because we don't live among civilization, but he insisted so I humored him.

 

Inputting my address reveals that not only is fios not available but apparently no internet at all is available.. which is weird considering I'm using it to type right now. I open up a support webchat with some noob who tells me ''I'm sorry we don't provide internet service in your area but we'd love to have you as a customer some day!"

 

I said ''gee that's strange considering I'm using your internet service to talk to you right now and have for years!"

 

Gobsmacked the chatnoob stumbles to say that perhaps the website is broken and perhaps I do have internet afterall, after poking in my account. ''Oh you have copper dsl, we don't offer this anymore''.

 

''So you don't offer copper dsl, but I have copper dsl and pay an extortionist amount for it, but you won't offer anything else. So what you're really saying is you don't want me as a customer some day because you're unwilling to keep me as a customer now?"
