Welcome to the USA before WWII.long over due,
I encourage participation,
keep it clean, we all know you are pissed........
me first
I have a package to ship, and prescriptions to pick up........ post office is closer so I go there first
post office is closed for 1 hour for lunch........... there are at least 6 people there behind a locked door, I can see them through the glass
everyone has to take lunch together? really? you can't stagger the lunch breaks just a little?
F it, I go to the pharmacy inside the rite aid......... the partitions are pulled down, you guessed it; everyone on lunch at the same time.......for an hour....... I caught the beginning of lunch hour at both stops
am I wrong for wanting to go potal? no pun intended
It was a simpler time when folks weren't in such a gosh darn hurry.

yes! that's it!
Done. Too many good suppliers to put up with that.
At the PRI show in Indiana, I bought a new Lincoln Welder. The main reason I chose to buy then was a $400 rebate. They gave me the rebate book that clearly has the model shown with the $400 rebate.
Machine arrives today and I go to submit the claim for the rebate. First, the rebate for this machine is not in a drop down list, and then they require a copy of the invoice sent to them that is not the same as what invoice I was sent through email.
I am so F'n tired off companies unethically playing games to squeeze out a little more profit. Now I'll have to find nonexistent phone numbers, try to call, fight with them, etc.
Total BS!!!

I hate that when it happens. Usually I miss my rebates because they are hidden on some obscure QR-code on a weird website link.At the PRI show in Indiana, I bought a new Lincoln Welder.

My son just got a job as a shop tech at an equipment dealer and needed a basic tool chest to get started. I got him a 52" Craftsman to get him started for Christmas as that is what he wanted. I had it arranged for him to pick up today and this is what they rolled out. He spent his whole lunch hour picking it up, exchanging it and still got a dinged up one. PITA as he is in Maine and I am in SC.
Nice tool chest.....but I hope the supplier sorts that out for your son. He'll always know that damage is there.

sorry you guys need to vent, but it's good to know I'm not alone......... things I cannot tolerate are stupidity, incompetence, thievery, and laziness; that **** makes me twitch, and I hold onto it for waaaayyy too long......... it's a curse
What if I only score 1 of the 4? Am I still able to get on the list?sorry you guys need to vent, but it's good to know I'm not alone......... things I cannot tolerate are stupidity, incompetence, thievery, and laziness; that **** makes me twitch, and I hold onto it for waaaayyy too long......... it's a curse

you haven't made the cut in any of the 4 categories; close doesn't count
I went into a little grocery store the other day to pick up a bag of apples. I walked up to the check out to wait in line. I asked all these people standing there if they were in line and where the line started. This one old guy looked at me as he walked up and said, behind me. I looked at this older woman and asked if she was in line and she said yes. I KNOW she was there before him and his wife. I looked at him and said, you mean you're behind her and all of them...... Get this, this old man says to me, look KID, we got this figured out, just get behind us!! I looked at this older lady and she just looked down and said nothing. I looked at him and said, KID!! I'm 68 years old and if I were you, I'd step back, she's next and then all of them. He started to say something and his wife poked him and said, he's right!! They called for more checkers and things started to flow. Everyone insisted that I go first, they all had shopping carts full and I only had a bag with ten apples in it. I hesitated, looking at the older lady and the way she looked at me made me so mad and mostly sad. I looked at the old piece of sh*t and I thought he was going to sh*t his pants. I get this look when I'm about to do something seriously inappropriate, so my wife says. Instead, I looked at the older woman and yelled, Merry Christmas and everyone but this a**hole, yelled back, Merry Christmas. Law and order............... and he went to the end of the line behind all of them, where he belonged. Give me a break, what's the matter with some people!!!!!!
