All Purpose Rant Away Thread - 3.2.1 GO!

[Patty Smyth]

For those of us who have many rant-worthy things to complain about, post away. I will go first.

My rant of the day.

STOP freaking raining so I can get my garden finished!!!!

[vesper]

We just bought our fridge 2 months ago, so I was SOOOOO unimpressed to find the freezer completely thawed this morning, with about an inch of bloody liquid at the bottom of it

I garden planted today (some of it anyways), and both of my eyes are so swollen from black fly bites. Looks like I was in a fight and lost.

People seem to continuously lie in their ads about the real size of their garage sale. It drives me nuts when people post ads in the newspaper or on kijiji or what have you for garage sales and they say "HUGE" or "MASSIVE" garage sale, multiple families, tons of stuff, etc. and you go all the way there very early in the day and all they have is like one table with a smattering of crap. Apparently some people don't know the definition of "HUGE". Hint hint, it's not 5 things and a sign that says your car is for sale also.

And then there's the people who say no junk, but in reality it's almost all junk, or the people who want almost retail value for something because it's still got a box or hasn't been used/used much. If I wanted to pay retail I'd just pay retail. You probably got it as a gift and that's why you've never used it.

Sorry but your old VHS tapes are not worth $2-5 and your well-loved Archie comics with no collector value aren't worth $3 each just because they're from the 80s... Nor is your rear projection tv worth $50 anymore even if it does work and has a remote.

TL;DR: People think their crap is worth a lot of money and they lie in their ads about the quantity of goods at their garage sales and it makes me mad!

ANTS! That is all.

OK, here's my rant. I have just about had it with canada post! In the last few weeks:

Had an Envie delivered to me ripped open and empty -- no "were sorry" or anything. Not the first time mail has arrived with a little slit in the side - obviously someone checking for cash/valuables
Two other times, envies containing valuable coupons intended for me failed to arrive in time for trains I was riding.
An envie sent to me from another part of the same city still hasn't appeared after nearly 3 weeks . . and yes, I know it was mailed!
Also, two different traditional trains I've ridden have disappeared before they ever reached me -- one did finally show up after weeks, the other is probably lost.
Delivery at my home is, let's say, "infrequent" -- I only got mail delivery at my house two days last week, and haven't had any mail delivered since last Wednesday (it is not just me, neighbors on both sides have not gotten mail either -- not even junk). By my count, there are at least 15 separate envies in the mail to me at the moment, mailed on different days -so why is everything arriving on the same 1 or 2 days a week (usually tuesdays and thursdays). And no one on our block ever seems to be getting any mail on Fridays anymore . .
I mail out from a PO located in a Shopper's, and usually the employees there are super!! But for some reason, envies I mail out have been taking ridiculously long times to reach their destination - I'm no longer surprised when an envie takes two weeks.

I'd say that in the past month there's been long delays or other issues with AT LEAST 50% of the mail I receive or send. And friends around the city tell me they've been having similar problems with mail to their homes (fewer report problems with mail to their workplace).

With the price of postage, you'd think we could expect a better than 50% chance that our mail will arrive at its destination, on time!

OK, thanks for letting me get that off my chest. . .

I finished mowing the last piece of my lawn and the part I mowed last week needs doing...

I didn't realize there was already a mini rant thread and asked FP to delete this one

Maybe since people are using it we should keep it.
