Venting on the silliest thing

I have been a tub person my entire life. Other than for medical reasons, I've never chosen to take a shower. A warm bath in the evening before bed just soothes my soul. Another medical reason has popped up and it's back to showering. However shallow, I feel cheated....and that's my vent for the day!

Feel free to add your vents to the list. I'm sure they have far more substance than mine.
 

I haven't taken a bath for 40 years, it's the shower or stand in the rain for me, but I can sympathise Katy, feel free to vent by all means.

My beef is that I can't reach the stuff I put in a high cupboard 6 months ago. The floor must have sunk or sumthin' !
 
I rarely take baths, but I do like an occasional bubble bath or Epsom salt bath to relax.

What's that smell ?!
Me neither, but that stuck me so funny here at 4:30 am. I am a shower person too, and I haven't had a bath in 38 years. (although I do vaguely remember taking a bath when I was having back problems years ago, and I could hardly get out of the damn tub)

But I can sure sympathize with you Katybug, I don't like changing what I am used to and like.

My silly vent is people at work who have to congregate in busy doorways to stop and chat. Really people, really! or stand and talk in front of the coffee machines. Get your darn coffee and move on. Or I am heading for the elevator in the basement just as somebody else is going there, remember I said we are in The BASEMENT and they will look at me and ask.."Are you going up ?" I have various replies for such a dumb question, but won't bore you.

So basically my silly vent is people at work who drive me nuts. (the number is growing daily)
 
We have a walk in shower.
What I would have given for one when I was a teenager.:eek:nthego::love_heart:
Not to say I did not have a shower in one at that age.:love_heart::love_heart:
 
I wish those doorway meetings were only happening at work. I don't how many times I've seen people having a deep and meaningful discussion in the doorway of the supermarket completely oblivious to people lining up to get in and out.

Or as happens often around here, people pulled up in their cars because they thought it was a good idea to stop a passing pal and have a conversation through their windows in the middle of the road. They get really pissy when you toot them too.
I wish they'd try that trick out on the highway sometimes. Bwaaahahaha.

Crikey! that happens here a lot too in our little one horse town. It's always "good old boys" in their pickups too. I guess it is the male version of stopping in the grocery aisle to chat and being oblivious to the world around you.

That bugs me as well, and especially the car conversations while you're stuck behind one of them. I ignore their anger as I gently toot my way through.

Worst of all, I am bothered by those in the grocery who think the aisles are only for them and have to be asked to kindly move their buggy. This happens almost on a weekly basis for me and it's rarely an absent minded senior, usually young moms with a child in the cart. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Katybug, i'm a shower girl as well, because of medical reasons. I'm still waiting on a nice walk in shower so I don't have to step over the side of the tub which on some days feels impossible to do!

My vent for today.........not to offend anyone, but I HATE calling a company with a question on a bill or something, anything.....and having to PRESS 1 for English! I shouldn't have to do that in America! I also hate having to press 10 different buttons to get to where I finally want to be on that phone line......gets my gourd every time!

Roger that sister! when all of our forefathers (and mothers) came to this country the first thing they did was start learning to speak a da English!

I don't care if we sound like grumpy old coots complaining about this issue, but who cares!

If my relatives didn't try to fit in, I'd still be speaking German.

Trust me, you are not alone in feeling this way! Anymore, it takes 6-8 buttons being pressed to get a live person, if even then. I HATE IT!

I don't know if this will work for you folks but the minute the menu comes up, just press O and you will usually get a live person right off the bat. Works for us so try it next time.Can't hurt......

HA! Out of pure frustration I just did that with Time Warner Cable last week and voila....got a live person right away. I thought it was just a fluke or that particular company....one of the worst for getting where you need to be. Obviously not, I think we've hit on something here, Pappy! Thx for posting this and perhaps saving us lots of stress.
