All Purpose Rant Away Thread - 3.2.1 GO!

[Natalka]

"Missed" package delivery two days last week - uh, I was home both days, all day.

Courier is CanPar - for pickup, their office is only open from 8:15 to 9:15 a.m. - duh, just one hour?

[FallenPixels]

CanPar are the worst, we used them at work for a while and I had an urgent package I called them for pickup, paid extra for next day early morning delivery and left the office. I was working from home for a few days, got back and my package was STILL at reception waiting for pickup "we didn't have trucks in the area" - in DOWNTOWN TORONTO FOR 3 BUSINESS DAYS??? UGH

Best Buy still have not shipped my order, call and "we have policies to follow" so they wont even look into it. They also have a same day shipping policy and a policy not to actually charge for the item until it ships, I guess they only follow the policies that suit them. I will never order from them again

When I get home I am going to rage about Future Shop.
I am livid and feel your pain.

Friggin' cold outside.

I don't want to go out today!

Too cold outside. WAY too cold...our pipes are frozen so we haven't had water since we woke up.

[Natalka]

Venuila - is a plumber coming, or do you have to thaw them yourself? If so, open the cupboards in your kitchen, turn the kitchen faucet on just a bit - use a hair dryer on the pipes (nothing else).

When we lived in an old townhouse, the pipes under the sink would freeze because it was on an outside wall.
To prevent it from happening again, we had to leave the cupboard doors under the sink open, and the water trickling.

DH has been using the hair dryer on it and it doesn't seem to be helping any >.< we should have left the water trickling last night but slipped our minds!

Drain leak in upstairs bath.. water pours down through ceiling
Frozen pipes to jazzucci and main floor bath

Hope my guy isn't expecting a vacation when he arrives home tomorrow lol

[Natalka]

omg, Millie! I don't know what to say, so sorry...

[pamjcoupon]

Ok. Everyone on ON is complaining about the weather. How cold has it been? The curiousity it is killing me.

[Natalka]

pam, I loved today how on Global national news they were comparing how Winnipeggers deal with the cold as compared to Torontonians - e.g. drive-throughs closed in TO, in the Peg, they never close because of the weather

Two minutes long -

At 8:45 p.m. temps

TO -17, w/c -30
Winnipeg -23, w/c -28
Saskatoon -29, w/c -35

Here in Toon Town, we're warmer than we have been in days - and it's going to be better towards the weekend.

[Ciel]

Wind tonight is making it around -32C but joyfully, tomorrow afternoon will be -9C because the wind will take a hike.
Glad to read that Saskatoon is getting to be lovely as well!

[MillieH]

Oddly enough its not bugging me.. I have the flu and tonight for the first time I'm starting to feel human.. It feels sooo good!! I find this kinda stuff funny.. I'm warped :O) Thanks though!

omg, Millie! I don't know what to say, so sorry...

So far this year I've had my apartment nearly broken Into, been accused of something I did not do and just lost somebody very important in my life today.


2014 can go f.ck itself.
