What do you want to rant about today? #25

I think this is possibly to stop people donating their old crap that they're too lazy to dispose of? One of the volunteers in my local charity shop said that they get loads of rubbish left with them at this time of year, puzzle with bits missing, broken toys, mouldy boxes, etc etc. (I don't know why, our local rubbish tip is excellent, and free to residents).
When my kid was small, we used to pass around toys between friends, or give them to the local playgroup. You know when you buy a toy but your child just doesn't play with it? I donated a large plastic play tunnel that my son hated. He loved the large box that it came in though!🤣

Wow! See I wouldn't dream of doing this so it doesn’t occur to me that other people would. Why are people so scummy!

My mum's back drinking again 😢 (she's a functioning alcoholic in denial) she also had a heart attack earlier this year and almost died during the surgery. I know i shouldn't care but I'm so worried


Oh & I messaged a (male) friend asking if i could have a moan (re the above) & his response was "sit on my face & I'll make you moan" 🙄

Sorry to hear about your mum, but your 'friend' response, disgusting, I'd block him.
 
Husband was playing on the ps5 and I mentioned I wanted to record the Shaun the Sheep movie and he was saying how he was in the middle of the game and being arsey . For a start, I was able to record it in the tv box thing without needing to have the menu on screen so didn't need to change the channel anyway. It was just the instant attitude and selfishness.
He asked for game for Xmas and I'm tempted to not give it to him .

I’m sick of feeling unattractive. I feel when I do try to make an effort with my appearance it’s like mutton dressed as lamb.
Everyone of my fiancé’s friends partners/wifes/girlfriends are naturally beautiful and gorgeous and lovely and slim.
i just feel like a fat ugly troll that needs to get back under a bridge.

Please don't talk to yourself like that, you wouldn't to a friend and you deserve the same amount of love. I know you won't believe me but I promise you, noone is paying half as much attention to what everyone else looks like as we think they do, at least not in a bad way. I always feel fat and horrible in anything I wear, yet anytime I see someone bigger than me wearing something similar I always think they look amazing - and not in a patronising way, genuinely they look fab. Noone is crueler to us, than us. I bet people are actually looking at you thinking wow, I wish I looked as good as she does. I completely understand the feeling, but what has helped me is to decide do you know what, duck it. People will look and have their opinions no matter what, there's that old cliche "you could be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world and someone won't like peaches". Even the most 'textbook' attractive people like you say naturally pretty, slim etc, they'll wish they could change things - they may very well even envy you! I've found since realising this and deciding to just wear what makes *me* comfortable and happy, then that radiates and people look more fondly on you anyway. Love sequins? Dress like a disco ball (guilty :p) Want to look like a vampire goth princess in a full ball gown? Why the hell not?, love rainbows and want an orange top and green pants? WHO GIVES A duck! The happier and more comfortable you feel, the more confident you'll become, it's a natural conclusion. The most beautiful people I see at work are always the customers who have truly accepted themselves for what they are and embraced it, it's a genuine deep beauty you cannot achieve with contour or forcing yourself to be size zero to the detriment of your health. It's bloody hard to do I don't deny, but it starts with realising you are most definitely not a fat ugly troll, and we all want you to come out from that bridge 🥰

My Mum's cousin bought a jigsaw from a charity shop when she came over to the UK to visit in the Summer and when she finished it had 12 pieces missing. Like why would you take a jigsaw to a charity shop knowing that it had 12 pieces missing.

I help manage a couple of self catering cottages. This morning, I got a text from the guest in one asking for more towels. Given that there was only two people on the booking, I thought this was a bit odd. Turns out she failed to mention on the booking that she’d brought four kids with her. God knows why, it’s not like they get charged per person. The cleaners have all the linens in storage so I couldn’t get any more towels which meant I had to go out and bleeping BUY four sets of towels for them. They don’t even match the existing ones so it’s cost an extra £80 just because this stupid woman didn’t bother putting her kids on the booking.

Adjacent to this is combination locks. There’s one on the road gate and when I got there with the towels, they’d left the bleeping lock open and hanging off the gate with the combination showing. Many, many guests do this as I’ve found it like that on numerous occasions. How are people so thick these days?

Quoting myself here because the guest who complained about there not being any instructions for the oven (there were, he just didn’t look) vacated today and has done loads of minor damage - gouges out of walls and woodwork where they’ve hauled their massive suitcases downstairs, broken the bunk bed ladder, managed to pull the blinds off the tracks.

Not only that but they weren’t ready to leave and the cleaners had to sit outside for 45 minutes. When they did leave, they piled a mountain of luggage on the patio alongwith bags and bags of food then just fucked off. It was still there when I went round at 3 to put the decorations up so I’ve just hauled it all out to the gate and taken the keys to the house home in case they decide to let themselves in again when they pick it all up.

It honestly blows my tiny bleeping mind. Who checks out of a holiday let and just leaves all their luggage outside along with food? I seriously hope the foxes and rats have eaten it by the time they get there. This is one of the reasons I’ve handed in my notice - I’m just sick to death of guests who treat our beautiful cottages* like tit because it’s not their own house.

*Disclaimer: I don’t own them, they belong to my employer and I just manage them.

what the actual duck is going on here 😂 like you say why the hell would you leave your luggage outside and go, do they live far from the cottages? this makes zero sense to me but this convinces me that everyone else is weird except me 😂😂
We’ve stayed in a few log cabins and have always treated them like our home.

They live in a different country. I assume they stayed at the cottage to use as a base for visiting family. I am genuinely a bit shocked about the luggage. The food bags were all just open and it was starting to rain so it will all get soaked.

Someone came into the shop I work a few months ago and said she had to leave her holiday accommodation (it was 10) for checkout and her bus wasn't till 6 and asked me to keep her luggage in the shop cause she couldn't be arsed to carry it. I was so shocked at her audacity I said yes just so she'd leave. She came back at 5 and didn't even buy anything, just picked up her bag. Just some random person who'd walked into a random shop where I clearly had mug written all over my face. The entitlement of people knows NO BOUNDS

She's proper lucky to receive all her belongings back in one piece. I imagine some wouldn't be so kind and would have robbed the expensive stuff (if any) or would've just taken the whole thing 🫣
