Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

Plastic getting recycled or toss out, how come if we are so intelligent, then we need to do more artwork with each plastic bottle and just make something huge, like a massive 19.8K by 40.6K wide rocketship molded by our plastic, maybe an entire airline with nothing but our plastic we wasted? Then how come we are taken that material for granted? And used for something wider scale like that, instead of smallest ideas like pens, pencils, notebooks et all? Why we must toss out to plastic? If we all chip inside the material then, why is there always so much reuseable material out there in our wastelands?
 
So, my sister called me yesterday, asked if I would be traveling back east anytime soon (our mother died last week and everyone wants to get together), and I told her that now wasn't a good time, considering COVID, the lockdown we are enduring out here in the land of fruits and nuts, etc. We didn't even go upstate to visit my SO's family for the holidays because, people are getting sick and dying every day out here.

Today, her husband calls me to ask if maybe I could go out to there, say in mid-February, I could bring the family along, visit with all my siblings (one brother lives about a six hour drive from her, another sib lives almost as far away as me, in a different direction, who also wants a gathering)

I'm over here thinking, "look, if I'm not willing to drive a few hours to visit my grandchildren, what makes you think that I will fly several hours to you?"

I mean, I love him like another brother, and I do get along with my sibs; but FFS, if I told his wife no, why does he think he can change my mind?

I know how you feel, this is me in a nutshell why would I want to see anyone in this condition, I just grew into it several years back anyways.
It sucks of having the time to travel somewhere else..
 
People who screw with my money, a load situation was going to cost me $426, sometimes you have to be a jerk and say hell no:mad::maddroid::thumbsdowndroid:
 
Little things of not telling anyone of the smallest secrets though, but most frustrating right now, I accidentally pulled out my antenna from my phonax hearing aids a few days ago, surprisingly I can still use the app to control the sound frequencies et all, it is for mostly amplifying most of the things though.. Not able to pull it out from it, is feels strange, though wearing it feels okay for the most part of it, now got to watch out for it to fall out. While wearing a mask, but test it out, and kind of did major clusters of laundry, did a few things that really felt like chewing up the day without just chilling out ya know.. I wish I was not me sometimes. Wish I was something better.
 
To be clear, I am here, I am happy that the history might be gone, but my synch account via FB does not work on here, I checked through different times of getting it through my incubatedcodes2000@gmail.com's account, still, I am here ladies and germs. At least my older post will be here until deleted...
 
Survey emails that seem to come from a reputable company and offer stuff at just shipping and handling costs but charge you 10 times what you ordered.
This actually happened to me but my bank stopped payments.
 
I got a nice little newsletter from my local congressperson, telling me about all the wonderful things they think they have done in Washington on my behalf.

That person did not mention that they also disputed the election results, even after the Capitol building was stormed by insurrectionists, goaded on by a sore loser.

But that's okay. I reminded them of that in a nice letter back. I also stated that I have a long memory, and I will do my part to ensure they do not get re-elected, and if recalled, I will work toward that recall being successful.

Oh, and I marked their email as spam, just for good measure.
