What do you want to rant about today? #25

1
My rant is how lonely I get on my days off and I don't see my husband for half a day I'm literally from school drop off to 1 on my .own and it's so tit I'm dreading it and then in the night I'll cry myself to sleep because the day has been so utterly tit and if they all go to bed before me I'm on my .own again as a night owl I can't sleep early
 
This is such a minor rant, but I’ve snapped the nail on my pointing finger on my right hand almost half way across. I don’t want to cut it off as I’m getting them redone tomorrow and I know she’ll be able to rescue it to keep the length. Its stopping me from doing things easily though as it’s my dominant hand, couldn’t even undo my necklaces earlier!
 
I was involved in an accident last Thursday (not my doing) and have got a dreadful eye and cheek that are really black. Every time I went out shopping I get comments from people I don't know - oh - hubby punched you - not funny. I now go shopping at 8 am
My husband died at the end of September and he would never have punched me but why do people make these comments.

I'm so pissed off with my TV. Invested in a bigger one 5 years ago. A third of the screen went dark this year. Then I gets home tonight wanting to watch my digger video on You Tube, and there is no You Tube any more to click on!!!! 😩🤬
I had my last TV for 16 years, all the time being pressured by friends to get rid and get a new one. I could never understand why they kept buying a new TV every 3 years.
Then I got a Samsung and 3 years later I lost all the tabs I watched like You Tube. 🤬
Got my supermarket big TV and looks like this one gives you 5 years which is better than 3 years I suppose.😟
Someone said to get a projector TV....🤔😏

What’s a digger video? 👀
 
He thinks I've gave him food poisoning. Ate tea said he felt OK before it. I've cooked the chicken bread strips in the air fryer 180c for 20 minutes same as my chicken but mine was thicker in separate compartments on the ninja same amount of time. He started with diarrhea and throwing up saying I've done it.

It's men working with diggers, trucks and cute things which I think are called telehandlers.
When I was growing up I always wanted to do something mechanical, but unfortunately girls weren't allowed in those days.
So I got really into watching D and J Projects on You Tube. How the company evolved. The mechanical things like diggers, trucks etc they bought and how they used them. The staff which is like a big family.
Then I also liked watching diggers and telehandlers in a different way where a bloke who was a gardener decided to restore a burned down chateau and revive the overgrown grounds. Everyone including me thought he was off his rocker but we're having to swallow our tonsils. His subscribers have boomed from a few thousand to half a million so it's not just me who's addicted.
I would love my own little telehandler to go tootling around in picking stuff up.
And years later I feel like I got a bit of retribution when my sister had to be dragged out of my house at 1 am in the morning cos I showed her a few episodes of D and J Projects and she was hooked. All the while my brother in law was chuntering on about it being crap. (Obviously felt his manhood being threatened). I had a massive cackle about it. 😄

Not a major rant but I just need to get it off my chest. Dull conversations lately.

One friend constantly talks about the new desk organising systems she's thinking of, i.e. the monitor and laptop mounts and optimal cable arrangements... I'm glad she is this excited about it but it's the most tedious subject, it's just one of those things you can't join in with random small talk, she throws in so many technical terms. And it just goes on and on. I keep saying 'oh wow that's cool' but after the 3rd round within the same conversation, maybe it's time to wrap it up?

Another friend has an ongoing electronics saga where an expensive gadget she bought on a final sale thing broke and she refused the refund and kept on asking for a replacement of the same device, and they can't because there are no more stocks. This was months ago. She keeps writing a wall of text anytime she has a new conversation with the customer service and I don't know how to tell her that her annoyance has run its course and we don't really care anymore.
 
I had a puncture on Wednesday evening which meant a 3 hour wait for the AA which was abandoned due to a road closure and finally got it sorted yesterday morning with a tow from the AA - £166 for a new tyre.

Got in the car this morning and it's got another - thankfully I didn't get far and was able to turn back to home but it's on the opposite wheel and I could honestly sit and cry this morning - I must have driven over something that took both tyres out :(
 
I've just taken my son to school. 4 different parents stopped to tell his teacher that their child wasn't feeling well, and could she ring them if they felt worse. One girl was sobbing and looked awful.

Why are people so stupid?? Instead of sending your kid to school, to feel like tit all day, and spread their germs to everyone else just in time for Christmas, how about you keep them off?

I ranted about this yesterday but child had actually vomited the night before. There is a 48 rule for a bloody reason
 
It's been this way for years but you would never know it was Christmas in my town. It feels even more so this year, I guess the change from Tory to Labour has contributed.

I'm 41 so it's not a huge issue for me but I do feel bad for the kids now, it was brilliant when I was young until around my mid-teens when you started to get less and less pizzazz during this time of year.

Anyone else live somewhere like this and feel a bit deflated in Christmas spirit for it?
 
We are having intermittent connection/network issues at work. It means sending the monthly files I have to send to HMRC is super painful.

Today for example, 30,000 records over 3 parts went through in seconds. But 3 records in 1 part, so miniscule in comparison, has taken multiple attempts and nearly an hour so far.
