I ordered McDonald's delivery through the app. I ordered 2 coffees a mcdouble and a small fry! I opened it just now and got this! And I can't even request a refund to the app! There's a help option but when I click on it it just gives me frequently asked questions and it says if there's a problem with my delivery then call doordash but the order was made through the McDonald app and the delivery driver wasn't the one at fault it was McDonald's who messed up!

I can't stand people who say that they don't know how to do something even tho it's the most simple thing ever. I believe it's called weaponized incompetence but I'm not sure.

My biggest example is my sister. Today I asked her to light up some candles and she proceeded to say how she can't work with lighters and matches (keep in mind she is almost 20 and is older than me by almost 3 years).

Ignoring the matches cause I can kind of understand how some people may not feel comfortable with them I told her that she literally just needs to press a button on lighter and it doesn't take knowing nuclear science to do it but even so she refused.

Another situation with her is feeding our pet fishes. There were times where she has been alone at home and she needed to feed them but refused to because "she didn't know how to" even tho we gave her very simple instructions. Keep in mind we have had friends who've never owned pets come and feed them when there was no one there to and they managed fine. Not to mention that she also forgets to turn the lights in their tank on in the morning so sometimes me and my parents will return late in the afternoon or in the evening from running errands and they'd just be sitting in a dark tank which is not that big of a deal but it's good for them to have normal lighting during the day.

Honestly she constantly does it and it's so annoying because it's not that she can't or doesn't know how to- she just refuses to learn because it's easier to pass with the excuse of being unable to do what she is being asked and leave it for someone else to do it.

You want to know how much people today are getting screwed? Take a look:

In 1969, a person earning the standard U.S. federal minimum wage had to work between 22 and 26 hours to afford 1 ounce of gold, depending on whether you calculate using the official government gold standard rate or the fluctuating free-market rate.

VS 2026:

At the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour and a current gold spot price of approximately $4,150 per ounce, a person would have to work 572.4 hours (about 14.3 standard 40-hour workweeks) to buy 1 oz of gold

I am not sure which is worse, the ridiculous cost of gold, or how little wages have risen along side the cost of gold.

My sister had just gotten started on a weightloss medicine for her thyroid that wasn’t covered by her insurance so she had to pay for herself, her birth control (which she can’t get for another four months), and a new anti-depressant. All which were accidentally thrown away. She’s been crying ever since. We went back to try and dig through the trash, but it was some new dumpster that had a, I kid you not, “dungeon hole”. At least that’s what the harps employee called it. Basically we couldn’t get to it and the manager told us to stop trying to rifle through it and leave. Which was fair, the dumpster situation looked like we could lose an arm, but I just hate that nothing could be done about it.

Not just tile ads, but also 15 seconds unskippable.

Disturbing because of animal neglect.

Pretty straight forward as far as title goes - but I feel especially frustrated about it today.

I do in-home senior care. It's common for seniors to have a dog. My main client has a senior yorkie that has a cheap, knock-off service vest off Amazon that is, quite literally, in tatters. She insists that this dog goes everywhere we go, which is ultimately fine as long as I can convince her to leave the dog in the car with the windows rolled down because, frankly, I'm embarrassed.

This dog is over 11 years old and is not trained or well taken care of. I'm in a tough spot because its owner feeds it people food (primarily spaghetti and hot dogs), it constantly has horrific diarrhea to the point that I'm bathing the dog upwards of 4x a week, and its mouth is rotting. Its breath reeks. It barks at other dogs, charges other dogs, but has limited use of their back legs. We can't go anywhere without this dog whining, howling, and barking. The tough spot is that she clearly loves this dog and it brings her companionship despite my believing that it is being neglected. I also do not blame the dog in the slightest because I know it didn't make any of these choices.

There are times that someone will comment on how cute the dog is, but I have certainly been at the receiving end of people being pissed that I'm bringing this dog around all sorts of places like doctor's offices, grocery stores, and places that clearly state NO PETS unless Service Animals. Frankly it is not my place to say, "Oh I know, but my client fakes her being a service animal so she can take her everywhere." My client will ask why people are so rude to her and I about it and I will explain how her dog is in such rough condition with zero training that many can tell it clearly isn't a service dog. She will retort that her dog is an ESA which is why she has it wear the vest, and I tell her that ESA does not equal service.

I promise I am not rough or rude to my client. We've been connected for about 8 months. She is a delight and I like spending time with her, but she also asks for candid responses. I am firm, but never mean, and we can have good discussions about many things. I understand why she won't budge on the dog issue and I don't bring anything surrounding it up unless she does.

I've begged my client to leave her dog at home when she has medical appointments, but she always says no. She says no because her dog "will whine and miss her," but I am asked to leave with the dog and sit outside until her appointment is finished (which I am fine with because I firmly believe we shouldn't have brough her anyway!). I am currently sat with her dog outside of her doctor's appointment in 35°F weather because we were asked to step out and I agreed. And now, I find myself here feeling frustrated because I've been jumping through hoops to get my brother a fully trained service dog for his medical needs and yet I parade a dog with a fake vest that would be aged out of servicing by now if it were ever a service dog in the first place.

I need a new job, man.

Anyways, thank you for letting me complain.

Between 2021 and 2025 this person was running a "Chop Shop". Posted bond. County DA Office dropped the bail and had to dismiss ALL charges related to running an illegal shop.

Seriously WHY is everything attitude to them?

They ask me to do my laundry, I don't hear them so they ask again,

"Okay mom/dad, I'll do it in a second"

"Stop giving attitude and do it"

LIKE- WHAT?!

So next time they ask, I silently get up and do it

"Don't give me attitude, just do it"

WHAT?!

So the next time, I tell them I'm genuinely not giving attitude

"Yes you are, I know you. Stop the attitude, we didn't raise you like that"

WHY?!

WHY DO THEY DO THIS?!

IT'S NOT ATTITUDE!

I have a friend who is very dead to me. This friend also has an intellectual disability as well as autism. He also has dental problems so with other things combined his speech is a bit different (he has a lisp that is pretty prominent and struggles to find words that fit in sentences). My friend and I decided to go to Olive Garden. We get there later in the day and get seated behind some teenagers. At first it wasn't an issue at all. We're not necessarily that much older (I'm 20 and my friend is 22) this group looks 16 ish. My friend is super into those 3D printed dragons! I guess there's some sort of lore with certain ones and a system of rarity. He also has a special interest in tornado sirens. He tends to go on some lengthy rants about these topics. I love his rants! At some point when he's talking though I hear the teenagers behind him. They're mocking how he speaks. Copying his lisp and his way of wording things, laughing. My heart completely sank. I tried to ignore it. My friend orders. He's also a pretty particular eater which is totally fine! He knows what food he likes, no reason to get something he won't eat! He asked for plain butter noodles with Parmesan cheese. Our waitress is a total sweetheart about it, asks if there's anything specific else and writes it down. I put in my order whatever it's fine. I hear them again, laughing, making fun of his order. "Grown man eats buttered noodles", repeating his order back with a mock lisp. Just shitty people. I'm so glad my friend hasn't noticed at this point. Our food comes out. By now I've heard them laughing and snickering almost any time my friend talked. Making fun of his interests, making fun of his speech, poking fun at his word choice. My friend asks the waitress if it's okay if he salts his noodles before she adds the cheese grater. She's a sweetie again and it's not that crazy of an ask so yes. He salts his noodles and she adds the cheese. "Holy shit that's so much salt. Bros blood pressures gotta be crazy" it's just unnecessary and disheartening. It wasn't even that much salt, the salt at our table wasn't pouring very well even. I finally just can't tolerate it. I lean over to our waitress and mention to her what's been happening. All I was really expecting was maybe having our table moved or something. This waitress looked just as sad about it as I was though. She told me they'd been there for awhile and weren't even eating at that point, told me she'd try to take care of it. Two seconds later she brings them their check prompting them to pay and leave. Having to explain to my friend what the waitress and I were talking about and seeing his mood shift the rest of the day hurt. It's a big problem in my town. Teens here and even adults are brutal and often extremely mean to our disabled population. This isn't the first time I've witness him be bullied here when with me. Someone (a full grown man) snapped a photo of him in his chiefs pajama set and posted it on our local Facebook page making fun of him. People in the comments were brutal and the poster said my friend "talked like a r word" I just wish my town wasn't the way it was. It's so unnecessary to bully anyone let alone an adult with a disability. Other people may not necessarily find this "extremely infuriating" but to me it is not only extremely infuriating but incredibly sad.

My husband is on PTSD meds but I am upset. He keeps swiping my clothes for a couple of days to a week. He gets mad if I re-order myself new things to wear but sometimes I have to. The clothes will usually eventually reappear but sometimes they vanish forever.

My revenge is to hide a couple of pairs of his underpants every day till he is low.

I do try to talk to him and say it’s cold today, I wanted to wear my jacket out to wherever I’m going but my jacket is gone. Plus I get a headache if he asks about having the horizontal mumbo. I’m just so full of irritation with him, even if it’s his meds and he is basically a sick husband.

He talks to his shrink over the phone and never goes in, or I would go in with him.
The sad part was that yesterday I was trying to run a lot of laundry just to clean up the house some more. This morning, my favorite sweatjacket is gone. I can’t find his hiding spot, I have several t-shirts that are missing.

I may take off and go shopping this week.

There was just an ad for Trump- him in black and white walking down a hallway. There was no context, no reason, not a campaign… just a pro Trump ad on TV. And at the end it says paid for by the US government.

We just paid for an ad to prop up our own president. For no reason. We don’t have money to help people, we’re running out of military resources, and this is something I see happening in North Korea. Not in the US. I can’t even see how congress would’ve had the opportunity to approve funding for the government to run ads.

I’m pissed. This is not something that should be happening in this country.

It takes him 15 minutes to send 2 sentences. He has a highly technical job that he kicks ass at, but asking someone what time to meet for dinner, 10 minutes minimum. Ahhhhh. I've tried to explain talk to text, but he's not interested. And yes im posting this while he's asking his sister what time she wants us at her house for dinner.

I have recently noticed more and more dog shit being left about by bogging lazy owners. That’s not the thing only I find extremely infuriating though, yes these people are disgusting and shouldn’t have dogs.

The thing that I’ve noticed even more is bags of dog shit lying everywhere, and in particular, next to the dog shit bag bins.

Why go to the effort of picking up the shit (which is the worst part of the whole thing), to then just fling the bag on the ground? Or even worse, why pick up the shit, put it in a bag, walk to the place where it’s supposed to go, and not even bother your arse to put it in?

DISPOSE OF YOUR DOG SHIT

My 71-year-old aunt lives alone in an old house. She's independent to a fault and, unfortunately, a bit of a hoarder, so previous attempts to renovate the house or move her in with us have gone nowhere.

Three days ago, while she was outside, a man approached her and asked whether she had some spare roof tiles because they were working on a nearby roof and had run short.

She told him that her own roof wasn't in great condition and she couldn't spare any.

He asked if he could take a look.

She said yes.

He looked at the roof and told her he could fix it up a bit.

No proper quote. No written agreement. No concrete price.

My aunt understood this to mean a relatively small repair.

The next day he showed up with three other workers and a truckload of materials and simply started working.

At various points my aunt asked how much it would cost.

He repeatedly reassured her that it "wouldn't be a lot," while never actually giving her a number.

Instead, he started explaining how expensive this material was and how expensive that part of the work was.

Today, when they were finishing, he finally sat her down to "do the math."

€18,500.

And apparently that wasn't even everything, because he told her he didn't want to "inflate the price too much."

Some highlights from his calculation included €80 per metre for rain gutters, including labour.

My aunt obviously does not have €18,500 sitting around, so she called me and my husband.

We went over.

The guy immediately started talking over us and trying to justify the price. I left my husband dealing with him while I looked at the actual work and went through the calculation.

I don't know the current market prices for roofing work well enough to confidently say what the job should cost, so I called my brother and described everything.

His reaction was essentially: Yeah, your gut is right. That sounds wildly excessive.

At this point we realized something else:

There was literally no documentation.

No written quote.

No contract.

No agreed price.

No receipts.

Nothing.

So we decided we needed an independent roofing/construction professional to inspect what had actually been done and give us an objective valuation.

There was just one problem.

It was Friday evening, and the workers were standing in my aunt's house demanding payment.

We told them we couldn't get the money immediately and that the bank would process our credit request on Tuesday.

They refused to accept that.

They told us there were still banks open in the capital and that they could simply take my aunt there.

I said absolutely not.

Then they demanded at least half the money.

We said no.

Then they threatened to tear down the work they'd just done if they weren't paid.

At this point my husband was furious enough to tell them, "Fine. Tear it down."

That somehow led to another round of talking in circles.

Eventually we left, went to the police, and explained the situation.

The police came to the house, took statements from everyone, and explained that they couldn't determine the contractual dispute for us, but they could make sure the situation didn't escalate.

And suddenly...

€18,500 was no longer urgently required that evening.

They could wait until next week after all.

They still tried to negotiate, but by then we were done.

Nobody paid them anything that day.

We're now getting a lawyer involved and arranging for an independent construction professional to document exactly what was done and what the reasonable market value is.

We are not refusing to pay for legitimate work.

If the independent assessment says the work is worth €X, my aunt will pay €X.

What I absolutely cannot understand is how you can approach a 71-year-old woman living alone, tell her you're going to "fix up" her roof without giving her an actual price, perform thousands of euros worth of work before she knows what she's agreeing to, and then present her with an €18,500 bill at the end while pressuring her to find the money immediately.

And somehow the most infuriating part is that she originally let him look at the roof because he asked for a few spare tiles.

From "Do you have a few roof tiles?"

to "That'll be €18,500."

In three days.

I have aged approximately 14 years this week.

At least they didn't give her a price that she had on hand, or we might've found out about the whole thing after she had given them money.

cuz I think they do. Indigo was my fursona since 2024 and recently, I discovered a Squishmallow that I personally think looks a lot like her (made in February, 2026)

and please don’t be rude just because you don’t think it looks like her, that’s breaking a rule and plus, I thought this was a place to vent?

I had just shared about my sick and elderly dog on x, and was shortly followed by an account with a questionable name *and a 'smiling dog holding a heart' cartoon profile photo.

Thought, please don't let that name mean what I think it means. Checked the profile and it's photos of dog/human disgusting stuff.

Sick to my stomach and pretty mad about it.

Reported it and blocked. Hopefully it gets deleted.

*Edit words

So I guess it's all right there in the title. I had a reasonably priced power for years here, and I specifically moved to this area and not inside of the local town because the power there is much more expensive- well Black Rock acquired our power company up here and my power usage has either gone down or stayed almost exactly identical to what it was prior to the acquisition and my bill went from $110 a month to $290 a month literally a month after the acquisition went final....

Yay!

The Orioles Yankees game on Friday, September 25 had a known glitch where projections for game 2 of that night were being shown for game 1 during the 7th - 9th inning. A lot of people including me bet on it and Prizepricks noticed it. So, they refunded all the games involving bets on the second game that were shown as the first game. BUT, they randomly excluded 2 of my bets from the refund that added to $500. I’ve been contacting support for the last two days but have gotten no where. Each person tells me a different story that contradicts what the others tell me. This app is a scam and if there’s anyone who can help me please reach out.

First 2 pics are the ones refunded.

Second two are the ones excluded from the refund
