Lately I have been thinking A LOT about the little things that frustrate me. They are not even worth mentioning but they have been bugging me. So I rant.
Words with Friends. I play several people in this game. I am convinced that the Word with Friends people deliberately mess with your mind. You either get U,U,O,I,I,V or X,Z,Y,R,R,R. It never fails. I end up playing words like IT or QI. It just doesn't seem to have any amount of equilibrium in the game.
Then there is Dice With Friends. I bought extra rolls. Suddenly I am rolling all 5s and every roll was great. I ran out of extra rolls. I bought more. More winning. Then I realized it really wasn't fair to have an extra roll per play so I didn't buy anymore. Suddenly I NEVER got a good role. Dice with Friends way to make money. Don't give her a good roll. Then she'll want to pay for more rolls.
Prison Break. I'm watching this on Netflix. Every single episode the "clan" is running away from the company. One minute they are enemies with someone and the next minute they are working with them. They are always getting shot at. They are constantly running. I am exhausted from watching it. It is like a nightmare I cannot wake up from. Someone is shot or has an operation and hours later they are running for their life with no sign of infection or bleeding.
Poor customer service. I take Chloe to Culvers most every day after school. She always has a medium Pepsi with no ice. I cannot tell you how many times she has gotten ice. I walk through a store, no one looks at me, let alone asks if I need help. I wander aimlessly obviously bewildered but still have to seek out a clerk to help me find what I need. I get a coupon code for free shipping or something like that. I use the code and it doesn't work. I email the company and tell them and rather than a "here is a free shipping coupon" reply I get a "we are sorry it didn't work" reply.
People not being honest. I have an intuitive gift. I can see through a lot of facades. I can almost always tell when someone is not being forth right. I do not like being lied to or told half truths. I am a detective by nature and if you try to hide something from me or tell me a half truth, I will not rest until I figure out what is really going on. In fact, there are some people I know that for them to speak is to lie. I have a hard time trusting people now. I have been burned too many times.
Some of these are inconsequential. Some are a bigger deal. What they have in common is they frustrate me. This emotion is not good for my health. I am going to try to eliminate frustration from my life.
How? Maybe I won't play those games on my phone for awhile.
Maybe I won't speak to people who I do not trust. I'll play the superficial game and never be close to some.
I think I'll only shop at places who take me seriously and give me good customer service.
Note: Culvers for the most part is great. They know our order by heart and they tease us. Usually if we get ice it's from a new employee. One gal was putting ice in the drink and heard me yelling outside the window - NO ICE, NO ICE!!
