Vent Your Frustrations • Page 101

Thanks!! I don't think there are any in my state unfortunately but may be a possibility for an hour drive into Boston. Will have to do some research

 

Thanks a lot! Just a very frustrating situation all around, nothing that can really be done. Heh. Might look into some sort of patient payment card for a monthly payment and do some more calling around. She needs time for the antibiotic to take care of the infection first anyways so that buys us some time

 

Your fiancé is probably better off getting the root canal treated tooth extracted than a doing a retreat. Not sure which tooth it is but if it’s a molar than she should consult an endodontist if haven’t already instead of a general dentist.

also not sure why other places won’t see her unless she gives the other one a bad review?? I’m a little confused about this. Also what someone else said. If there’s any dental schools near you, doing treatment there is cheaper than what you’d get “normally”

 

Thanks! Not familiar with what an endontist is, but will relay that to her!

Yeah, kind of a long story, but every place we called wasn't accepting new patients, even for their emergency services, unfortunately. The one dentist who is emergency-only is closed 3 days a week. She's been to the one we ended up with in the past, but she was calling them with terrible pain Friday, saying it was sensitive to hot and cold and that she couldnt sleep or think, and they said they'd call her back and just never did. Today, when she called them again, they said they'd call her back and didn't, so she called again a few hours later, and they said they couldn't see her at that point. Despite the constant phone tag, a frustrated review got them to call her within a half hour.

We were just disappointed that in a potentially emergency situation, the reception at a practice she was already a patient at couldn't give us a call back on whether the dentist thought it was concerning enough to go to the ER at that point, on two separate days

 

I’m sorry I hear the experience she’s had. I would find a completely different office. It’s unfortunate that a review is the only way to get them to return a call. I understand if there’s no openings as it is near the end of the year and many people are wanting to use their benefits so offices are getting booked. But returning a call is simple and letting someone know your booked isn’t hard either. Usually offices are always excepting new patients. An endodontist specializes in root canals. I just don’t want your fiancé to have to spend more money in long run, especially if she doesn’t have insurance. They’ll be able to tell her if they can retreat it or if it’s better to get it extracted.

 

Working around the holidays at a grocery store is awful and I hate everyone rn. So glad our store is closed for Thanksgiving bc I need a break. I had a woman scream at me bc she insisted I short changed her by 1 cent (I didn't, her math was just wrong). I had so many people scream at me bc their turkeys weren't on sale when they were supposed to be (no, only certain brands and varieties are on sale as the sign and sale flier CLEARLY state). So many people getting pissed off bc we don't have what they want in stock. Well maybe don't wait to shop until the night before the holiday!! Some lady threatened to sue me and the store bc I made her bags too heavy but she specifically told me to "load them up" and "don't worry if they are heavy" and she was helping me bag and the bags she packed were way heavier than the ones I did....She said I was trying to kill her. Then I got cornered when I was alone in the lobby by a pervert old man. He told me he was a chiropractor if I ever wanted him to "work on my body" and kept asking to see my face without my mask and kept trying to touch me. He literally had me cornered and I had to basically shove him with a buggy to get away so I could run back inside the store so my coworkers could help me. This job is the worst. People are the worst. I'm over it.

 

I’m sorry you have to deal with all of that. If the perv old man comes back tell him you’ll call the cops if he corners you again.

 

I have a job interview on Friday for a job where I get to work from home, and I reallllyyy hope I get it. Yesterday we had a customer come into the store WITH COVID. My SIL knows the woman personally and was like what are you doing here??? You're supposed to be in quarantine!!!! Woman just did not give a fuck. We sanitized everything and we all scrubbed the hell out of our hands but we are all scared. Who knows how many other people have come in with it. Our store is close to the local testing site and I cannot even tell you how many people have went to get tested bc THEY HAVE SYMPTOMS and then instead of going home like they are supposed to until they get their results back, they come get groceries. And we're just checking them out and they say "yeah I just went and got tested bc I have no sense of smell or taste!" Like WTF are you doing here then????????? My one coworker's husband is disabled and was just diagnosed with cancer and she is terrified. It's fucking infuriating. And my boss still won't force people to wear masks. He said if we're worried about it, we need to say something bc he won't. But my one manager got threatened by a guy so we're fucking scared to say anything. She just asked if he could put on a mask and offered him a disposable one and he threatened to come back with his gun. I gotta get out of this place. My anxiety is out of control. I can't sleep. I've lost weight bc I'm so anxious I'm sick to my stomach and can't eat.

 

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I’d def would have called the cops if someone came and made a threat of harm. Hope you get that job. Sad how people don’t give a fuck about the well being of others.

 

Pretty sure the annoying af people behind me don’t have jobs. Not even a “work from home”. It’s a small 1 bed unit just like mine and I think multiple people are living there just by the daily noise they make. They blast their shit music at all hours of the day and unreasonable hours when people who actually have to be awake and go to a job are trying to sleep.

the people above me seem to only have loud feet in the morning and at night. UGH! I rather hear the people above me stomp around than the people behind me

 

Covid has made it really hard to meet people, especially romantically

 

Called security on the people behind me because they’re music was BLASTING. I could hear it from my front door. They probably do this shit while in away at work. I stayed much later at work today than I tonight. I was suppose to work half a day but ended up doing a full day

edit: I had to call security a second time, because they started their loud ass music again. I hope I don't have to call a third. Then they started taking loud as shit. Like I shouldn't be able to hear you from where I was at to were the noise was coming from

IM NOT PLAYING ANYMORE. I should have started complaining when I moved in. I should also have started documenting all disturbances, now I am. This shit is getting out of hand. I was nice and didn't do anything in the beginning but now its just getting worse.

 

More complaining. The guy that lives behind me has a loud as fuck voice that I can hear what he’s saying. I shouldn’t be able to clearly hear your conversations. And his tone of voice Always comes off as hostile. He’s complaining about the noise complaints and how he just doesn’t give a fuck. That he’s lived here for two years. Also sounds like he blasts his shit music when I’m at work because there’s no complaints while I’m gone. Thinking about plugging in my pet cam so I can document. Not sure what they can do since I’m not home but I believe the noise is disturbing my cat. Completely unrelated but also taking about covid testing. But that just shows how loud af he talks. Complete disrespectful person. Maybe no one said anything Before because they were afraid. Typically I’m the type to ignore it because I don’t want to cause issues, but it’s pretty bad. If I can hear it a little bit and able to drown it out with a podcast or Netflix, then I’m not going to go that far in complaining even though I want to. But if I can hear it from my door, record it and not able to drown it out. Problem.

 

Huge blizzard 2 days ago and most roads in the city I live in are still pretty bad. Minimal pre-storm treatment (salt, sand, ect.) and the plow drivers hired to clear streets could really give a shit. So my mother-in-law passed away suddenly at end of november and lived alone in an appartment right near the bridge to Salem, basically we got 1 more week to clear out her unit entirely - it's been a nightmare.

Leaving after another long day over there and feeling the pressure between ~xmas coming and deadline to clear out apartment, we were so ready for coffees. While inside waiting in line an adult male in front of me makes 5 or 6 comments about how unintelligent the employees are, I just ignore yet another person exposing their inner density. Quite embarrassing for the homeboy in ed hardy skull flames long sleeve, blue tinted oakley's and sports team fitted.

Exiting with a coffee in each hand and it is treacherous. There is brown, icy, slush thick off the ground in plaza parking lot, deep puddles everywhere and I was parked far away at other end.

Walking to car I hear a vehicle behind me so I move closer to the parked cars. Then as it approached me nearing my car the driver floored it while taking the corner around me and out onto the street. Splashed cold dirty ass wet inner city snow/water, my jeans were soaked lol.

Oh man guess what, in the shock of the century it was the hardo from inside! The dude belittling food service workers and sipping his 8 cream 8 sugar medium ice coffee in an xl red hummer.

I find it fascinating really, I was livid for 5 solid minutes until it faded into apathetic hilarity. The last 4 weeks have been so difficult in a multitude of ways mentally and physically. There was pent up frustration, anger, sadness and disdain that I didn't know needed to release. Interesting how we can surprise ourselves with our own responses and reactions.

But yea, existential bullshit aside this bro was a loud middle-aged american white male with a soul patch - my fault for getting so mad at a worthless, ancillary member of society

 

My new job is a lot more money than the grocery store but very stressful. I had read reviews on the company and basically everyone said they left bc of management and uhhh I see why lol They are very picky and don't even try to be nice. Like if I'm doing something wrong, please let me know but don't be an ass about it!! When I was training, the trainer even made a comment about how to not take their feedback to heart and how it's just them making sure we are doing our job right and they aren't being mean but some people take it personal. Uh no....they are being mean lol and the fact that you have to WARN PEOPLE before they even start kinda says it all.... I have quality standards I have to meet which are already very hard (98% accuracy) and they were reviewing 20% of my work. I swear they purposefully looked for something to mark wrong on every single job I did. They also somehow conveniently didn't audit any of the work I did for my main account that I was actually trained on!!! They picked all jobs I did from other accounts I had no training for and that have all different rules! And on jobs where I had literally no errors, they still made sure to say something nasty to me anyway!!! And despite all their nitpicking I still am above the 98% accuracy level but apparently that's not good enough??? so now I have to have a phone call with their trainer again to "review my work." Shit like this makes me miss my old company I worked for so much. Pay wasn't as nice as this place but they literally never bothered me. I just logged on, did my job, and that was that. So much less stressful!!

 

My apartment complex wanted to tow my fucking car just because I'm a few weeks late getting it registered with the state. Luckily my fiancé saw them put a sticker on my car because she was smoking on our balcony, but I ran out yelling that I live here and that's my car. Apparently it's in the lease, but wtf, I have a sticker from my apartment complex on there, they have my license plate number, so who gives a shit? It was the stickiest adhesive ever, too, my window is covered in gunk that ain't coming off any time soon. I just paid online for my registration and taped the receipt in my window

Oh well. In such a bad mood from it, just trying to calm down haha.

 

Pretty much management said nothing can be about the noisy people behind me and said the level at which they heard is “normal” and I’m going to hear noise. I mentioned how it seemed louder after hours so it’s not like I can bring someone from the office and be like hey this is one of the louder points. and I’m paying close attention and recording. It’s really frustrating. I literally have bad luck with everything. The unit I was suppose to have I couldn’t move in to, now I get stuck with shitty neighbors in the noisy part. I have other shit going on that I don’t want to public ally post rn but it’s really stressing me out. I’m on the verge of tears

 

Does your lease have any mandatory quiet hours? Unfortunately in my apartment building, you can make as much noise as you want except from 9pm to 8am I believe. But since we have thin walls and I play guitar and sing, I can't really judge people too harshly for noise; I'm sure my neighbors don't always love me for it heh.

 

Not that I remember. I mentioned the noise seems louder after office hours at times. The noise happens literally EVERY DAY, it’s not like it’s once in a while. I’m at work during the week during office hours so I don’t know what goes on. The said The noise appears louder because my apt is “quiet” yet I use to live in another unit, no changes to any “quietness” and NEVER had this issue with noisy neighbors. But according to them and the info, they’re not violating any terms of lease and they can’t write them up. It’s really frustrating. I want to be able to cook and eat peacefully, but I can’t.

 

I'm so frustrated with myself.

 

This job is beyond frustrating and they make me feel like a worthless piece of shit and I hate it. When they hired me, they told me I would have 1 main account I'd be working on. That was a fucking lie. I have OVER 20!!!! Then they keep yelling at me for making mistakes but every single account has different rules so how am I supposed to remember how to do anything?? Plus you have to produce so much work an hour so I feel like I can't spend too much time or they yell at me that I'm not going fast enough. I have to have another meeting with the trainer tomorrow bc I'm not "meeting their standards" even though my accuracy is above what it should be and my speed is more than it should be. Then I'm supposed to work 40 hours but I'm averaging 26 bc there is no work. If there's no work you have to log off and wait for them to email you (you are not getting paid for any of the time there is no work). So now they are mad that I'm not working 40 hours but how can I when there isn't any work???? I have 1 more week to get up to their standards or I'll be fired. I wish I had a single clue what job I want to do for the rest of my life, bc I hate this, I hated the grocery store. Idk wtf to do if I get fired. Basically having an emotional breakdown today so that's just great!!!

 

Every time someone brings up the nursing home deaths in NY part of me wishes that my dad was one of them but I feel like that makes me a bad person.

I just have so much contempt for him because I was lied to about everything for years, even going back to when I was 9 or 10 years old. Everything I thought I knew was either a straight up lie or lie by omission. It doesn't help that other members of my family completely lionize him when the things he did were objectively wrong.

(for context, the psychiatrist being referred to in this article is my dad Clifton Park psychiatrist admits to federal drug charges against him )

 

FUCK. I wasn’t careful and accidentally liked a super old post on my stalkers social media. Had to quickly block them. I was just trying to see the reactions to see if I can find a certain someone

 

Another terrible day? Cool, I guess I’ll get really high and watch a movie to distract myself cuz I don’t have the mental energy to deal with my problems anymore

 

People who immediately stand up and try to push to front as soon as your plane lands. Die. Straight up die. I hate you that much
