A general whine thread?
Is there a thread around here somewhere for people to complain and vent?
I'd just like to take a moment to scream here about the fact that my wife lost her €500 wedding ring.

But she will find it. don't worry (I think)
That's not the greatest news. But better to lose a €500 wedding ring than lose her priceless husband, right?
To puzzlebox: you're right, of course, and that's how I'm coping with this
So, I work in Poundland (Think WallMart, but full of products that only cost $1). The lift is out of action for a week, so we've had to bring a whole load of stuff to work downstairs into a pretty small corridor, which is where we also store the delivery once it comes in. I come in today, and it's a mess. You can barely move in this corridor. There's stuff left on the shop floor (not good). There's just crap everywhere.
And to top it off, I have now essentially been forced to learn how to use the floor buffer. So as well as doing the Essential Off Sales (a list of items that didn't sell yesterday, which I need to investigate) and the PI Counts (a Stock Check of several lines), tidying up the corridor (the Night Shift always leave it full of cardboard boxes) and maintaining my own sections (Cards, which customers always leave untidy, and Entertainment, which the Night Shift keep f**king up), I'll now need to make sure the floors are nice and clean as well.
GAH!
It had been in his family for generations. We contacted my parents but since we had basically left the country because of them, obviously we weren't in the best of terms, and it seems they just threw it away :mad:
On the bright side, it didn't cost us $500 since we didn't actually buy it... >.>
On the... er... shady side (?), now we're hiding the fact that we lost/forgot it from his parents so that they don't have a heart attack.
:S Do you know how to get it back, or will you need to get a new one?
Ahhh it's safe and sound
I've actually researched things a bit, and it's astounding to see how many people lose their rings! And them getting theirs back does happen more than you'd think, as well. Though I'm also not one to wallow in false hope
I had a co-worker break down in the office this morning, puts it all in perspective as well.
Wait I think I did that wrong.
Of course you did. You forgot to add this.
The stuff you can learn when your mom like good wine ^^!
You work all day picking up grapes on vines that are lower than knee-level, while having to climb because they don't grow on flat land... When you go back for the few hours of sleep you get until the next day, you're stuck with bend knees and a bent back.
And most of the time, it's either so hot you're almost melting, or it's raining on you.
And you honestly can't feel time pass. You look at your watch thinking you haven't looked at it for an hour and it's been 5 minutes.
So my theory is that wine and whine are related for a reason.
That IS sad
Under developed countries, that it. We will get out of this eventually. I hope before I die.
Nah. Here in Norway we boil it in a kettle and chug it straight away
That's the right temperature, far I know. (Unless if it's white =P)
I actually truly lost my phone just two weeks ago. I don't even know where it could have gone, since I ALWAYS keep it in my bag which hardly ever leaves my sight. The only thing I can think of is someone at school was sneaky enough to catch me looking away and quickly took it out of my bag. But unless it's a stalker who wants my info, who would go through that trouble for an outdated Sony Ericsson?
Anyway people losing phones always reminds me of that Sasha Gomez incident.
Ick. Parents (and in-laws) can can be a real pain in the butt sometimes.
Although, since the US is a rather large country (and we live in Oklahoma which is smack dab in the middle of it,) and as my wife and I only speak English anyway, I'm not sure we would leave the whole country to flee from our parents (not that we, ourselves, are in a bad way with them atm, though.)
EDIT:
Ooh, I lost my cell phone once, having put it in my jacket pocket and then shortly thereafter finding it missing. It was lost for weeks before I found it... to the left of the driver's seat in my car, between the seat and the door. I found it when looking for change I dropped.
My wife lost her glasses once. We found them again a year later, all entangled in a badminton net in the garage.
I noticed in the evening and thought "meh, it's probably closed". The next day I had school (was in high school at the time) so I thought I'd go look when I came back. It wasn't there.
My mom kept screaming that I had to have it blocked or someone would use it to call and cost me money or something, but I kept insisting that if I had it blocked, how would they call me to give it back?
Later that day I got a call from the police station. Seems that the person who found my phone didn't think to call me with it (although I always have a "me" entry, or did at the time when I had a cellphone. Haven't had one in years) and instead took it to the police station.
Of course, no call except the one to myself had been made on the phone. My mom is such a suspicious person. The sad thing is that if I had followed her advice of blocking it because "you'll never get it back", it would have been a self-fulfilling prophecy since it would have prevented anyone from calling me to give it back.
I wish I could unread that.
Pupil as in "high-school pupil" or "primary school pupil"?
NOW I want to unread THAT
Well you should know better that keep visiting this thread then
High-school. Aged 14 i think.
I'm just going to say "Now that is something to unsee!"
Please stop elaborating on this subject.
As usual the thread went a little off topic and people started complaining about George Lucas. Anyway, since this is a whine thread, I feel content to continue my rant in here rather than go farther off topic in there.
okay, here goes. *ahem*...
[whine]I LOVE Star Wars, wtf did they have to change the sound effects for in SE?! I have the DVD edition with both versions and recently put in the SE version of New Hope by accident, but by the time they got to the garbage masher, I couldn't stand having the wrong sound effects anymore and switched discs. -.-
Also, Han Solo is SUPPOSED to be a scoundrel. why the hell they gotta make him "a better role model for kids" by changing his character? That's fricken retarded. Plus, even my wife says that for REAL mob bosses, the actual mob boss wouldn't take his time to drop by some smuggler's ship and threaten him in person. It would make much more sense to send SOMEONE ELSE to "make him an offer he can't refuse," which is what I thought Greedo was doing there. That and Han calls Jabba "a wonderful human being" which is obviously out of place since he's not human. The scene is superfluous at best, so why even put it in there?
And then there's Jabba's palace in Return of the Jedi. Damn, George, you're a fucking idiot. You'd think Star Wars would be George's baby and so he'd insist that ILM make CGI characters look real, since obviously the "Muppet" characters look great. But really, is it really necessary to take a perfectly good performace by Sy Snoodles and completely botch it by replacing the scene with a TOTALLY OUT OF PLACE and obviously CGI concert that looks like it should go in a kid's cartoon? This is STAR WARS. Damn it, stop screwing with my childhood memories.
Also, Hayden Christiansen is too damn whiney in Attack of the Clones, Jar-Jar is just a slapstick character when the Original Trilogy's humor wasn't slapstick at all so it doesn't fit, and Jake Lloyd is a terrible actor in any movie he's ever been in. They'd have been better off to get Haley Joel Osmond (the kid from Sixth Sense) to play Anakin and just put makeup on him to make him look more like Luke. [Edit:] and Anakin and Padme didn't spend enough time together in Attack of the Clones for her to fall in love with him, plus Anakin's character is too young in Phantom Menace to "care for" a young woman like her.
George Lucas is an idiot.
....[/whine] Okay. There, I feel better now.
