First World Problems: post yours!

[Angela273]

The weather changed suddenly for the worse and I need to harvest my entire organic vegetable garden. Forecast 10-15cm of rain and possible snow. Lows of -1 to -4 overnight starting Wednesday. I'll do what I can and hope for the best.

Over 7 months pregnant and absolutely NO ONE giving up their seat for me on the bus yesterday. What is this world coming to?

I'm only ~8 weeks now, but very paranoid after our miscarriage in April/May.
We were on the bus (going to the doctor, actually), no seats, and my 5 and 6 year old. DD fell backwards during a stop and hit my belly and was apologizing, asking if the baby was okay.
Still, no offer for seats.

This stupid laptop's power cord keeps falling out. Where's me duct tape.....

When I go to McDonalds and order a medium Pumpkin Spice Latte I expect to get a medium not a small in a medium cup. Stupid thing is less than 3/4 full! And I don't care that I paid with a rewards card making it free, I sent it back and got them to fill it up properly.

TBH..I wouldn't have offered you my seat, since I had surgery a few weeks ago and find my vision a problem. However had I was with one of the brood I would have made them stand had I seen some-one who was old/visibly pregnant/handicapped

Couponing first world problem: Had Coupgon for any fresh or frozen beef. Cashier looks at the beef and asks me if it's
"any" and if it's fresh or frozen.

Is there any other type of beef it could possibly be?

Gatineau people can be some of the nicest people in this regard. From what I've seen and heard about, almost always somebody will offer their seat to somebody else who needs it. I am sorry that no one helped you, GoddessDigi...sounds like that was a big scary challenge. Hope you're OK.

Are you ranting about Living? If so, I sure hope something happens to help you change this rant to a flowering plant. Hang in there! Good luck.

(Yeah, I'd have a beef with that one too. )

Really upset with the stupid Sobeys Air Miles rewards offers (getmyoffers.ca) I've tried to use it twice so far and both times its failed to work. One was 12 AM WUB Canada Dry 12pk and I don't know if it even worked and yesterday I tried to use 25% off WUB Coca Cola 12pk and the discount didn't come off at the register. Was told at Sobeys they can't do anything, only AM can. Just pisses me off when nothing works for me!!!!!

By Living I meant live beef!

I've had this problem before. If you call the number on the getmyoffers website, they will quickly help you. They prefer if you have the receipt handy, but they really are great.

I did a bunch of grocery shopping yesterday with all three of my young children with me. Today I go to my PCPlus offers to pick 3 offers to carry over to next week and discover a new offer of 4,500 points wub $15 in cheese. I carried over my 600 points wub $3 in Philadelphia cream cheese. Problem is, I just bought Philadelphia cream cheese from Sobeys yesterday. I might still buy more at No Frills because it is 40% off when I spend $15, I'm sure we can use more.

Absolutely @Angela273 -- Philly cheese freezes and keeps well (depending how quickly you go through it). Great to stock up especially if you find a good sale price to pair with the points!
