Anti-gratitude thread.

My headlight died. I just changed the bulb a couple of weeks ago.

This mild stuffed up ears and nose can go in the bin.

Punched a wall yesterday removing render and now have a raw knuckle that is all swollen and nonworky. I need that finger to pick my nose, dammit

I put a studio subwoofer (weighs about 50kg) straight into a wall yesterday trying to get it down stairs on a trolley. Such a stupid mistake. I've fixed the hole (sort of) but everytime I walk past I just shake my head :(

A friend of mine passed away less than 2 months ago, and now her son has messed up big time (no sympathy, he really screwed up in a stupid unnecessary way) and is going to jail, I'd say for a long time. His boys lost their beloved Nan and now their Dad in less than 2 months and I'm pissed off about it. Also, the oldest of the boys is friends with my boy but I don't know the mum, so they probably won't see each other anymore. The kids are nice kids, but their little world has changed so much in such a short time, and I really feel for them.

I am utterly ungrateful for the stupid dangling bits on the seam of my socks that have given me a blister

Well I pretty much already did this, but I'm still annoyed so will do it again. Google nerfed my maps timeline. There's only 2 reasons I stay in the google ecosystem: 1. Google timeline, and 2. Google photos. But if those donkeys keep breaking everything I like them I'm going to cancel my Google one membership, finally purchase unraid, and build a nice little google free lifestyle where people don't break everything for no reason. I'm still annoyed about them killing the mobile MyMaps app

Amen.

I broke something even more at work by attempting to fix it. And my headlight also died. The way the car is means I might have to take the whole front panel off to change it.
