Complaint Department

When did he tell you that?

 

I hate it when I get dirty looks from Prius people when I drive my Tahoe with my veteran decal into the gas station. Dope smoking hippies= Suck it

 

I hate working with certain buffoons at my current job who think, just because they have tenure, that they can give the new guy grief about not knowing certain facets of the job that they've had years to learn. Seems to me that these people have "big fish in a small pond" syndrome, but seriously, if they were really that great, would they still be doing the same thing 5+ years later?

 

Pickups WAAAY outnumber hybrids where I live. My Jeep Wrangler fits right in. I've heard that the milage on a Prius is not that good anyway - - - maybe that could be someone else's complaint.

 

I had a Chevy Tahoe hybrid in front of me yesterday in traffic, and couldn't help but to think "what's the point?" So it now gets 8 mpg to 12 mpg...

 

My Job and life in general. As far as my job goes I'm tired of working jobs that pay somewhat okay but leave me feeling brain dead by the end of the day because there is so little challenging work to do. Some people like jobs like this but me peronally, I like a pile of work and for it to make me think. As far as life, it seems when you just have it figured all out it all flips around and you figure out you really know nothing and have no clue what the heck your doing. Someone should write a text book on how to do it better. All the PhD's on here should be able to come up with something decent right?

 

People who go 10mph under the speed limit, then when you go to pass them, they suddenly decide they want to race you. :zx11pissed:

 

Complaint? hm.

As we take the time to post in this thread, complaining about the trivial things in life, I can't help but think of the folks who wish they could have the complaints we have whilst they are trying to feed their families and stay warm. My complaint is that too many people do too little to help their fellow human beings out by random acts of kindness - rather than giving a scouring look at the homeless person who is sitting on the street corner asking for money, why not give them $5? It's easy to say 'get a job', but how can we cast judgement on those whom we do not know but for the 10 seconds we spent looking at them, ignoring them while we sip on that hot coffee during a cold winter day. My complaint is that most of us don't take the time to help those less fortunate (people and animals) because "we're too busy" - one never knows when life throws a curve-ball ones way and the tables get turned and you are the one that is looking for help. All it takes is kindness, generosity (money, clothing, blankets, shoes, or simply volunteer your time) and a will to make the world we live in a little better - pay it forward and see what the Universe gives back to you.

I love this! Sooo many bad drivers out there.

 

In my area, those drivers are mom's who have a car load of kids, driving with one hand and talking with a cellphone in the other hand.

 

Blue's not wrong but he's not right either. I wake up evey day understanding how lucky I am and you can't step outside your door (or turn on the TV) without knowing about the misery that exists in the world. But does that mean I can't complain when something bad happens? If I get moved to an office with no window I can't complain because there are people who are unemployed? Using his logic I can't complain of anything, ever, as long as there's one person in the world worse off than me. I am then required to give away all my earnings before I have the right to complain about anything? I help out people when and where I am able starting with my friends, my neighbors and my town but I do not accept the premise that I have no right to complain about anything because someone else is unhappy with their life. So today my complaint is with Blue who seems to think that I should be perfectly serene 100% of the time because I have a job and an apartment and a little food. :grumpy:

 

I don"t like peas! uke:

I don't like that APU only has 2 transcript options... a $10 electronic one (which none of my schools will accept) or a $20 paper one. What about a good ol' fashioned "unofficial" one? Thankfully, CNU, Walden & UoP are all FREE. That's good customer service right there!

Okay, so I go to order a transcript, and when I get to the actual ordering page, there's an option for unofficial transcript. Still, it's $5!

Today I complain about the Texas Education Agency's credentialing process.

Them: Sir, you have to take the THEA before you can sit for your subject material exam.
Me: But the state of Texas says I'm exempt from the THEA based on my ACT, SAT, and TAAS scores. Any of these are valid exemptions by themselves, and I have all of them combined. Plus, that's a high school exit exam. I will have my Bachelor's degree in hand before I sit for my other exams. Aren't we a little beyond that?
Them: Well, that makes sense, but our guidelines say that you are required to show that you can pass the THEA. Plus, without an Algebra class in the last 5 years, we don't know if you are prepared in mathematics.
Me: I scored a 5 on my AP Calculus exam.
Them: Well....you still have to take it.
Me: ...(sigh)...ok.

So, now I get to take a day off work and spend 7 hours sitting in a classroom to take a test that I didn't take 10 years ago. Yay.

Suck it, THEA.

 

Wow that's a bit extreme. 20 bucks for a transcript????? I always thought 10 was ridiculous.
