Ramblings about the Holiday for the Rest of Us – By FestivusWeb.com
Hotel room service menu that was a QR code stuck to a table… and it gave you a broken web site. I’m starving here!
People who still don’t believe in climate change are the same people who bought into the idea that cigarettes are harmless.
Oh you’re going to put a whole block of cream cheese in there. Won’t that make me fatter?
Self checkout. You want me to perform my own checkout then you watch me like I’m stealing from you? Hilarious.
For my birthday, I got a new game called Circuit Maze. For those who don’t know what it is, it’s a logic game where you make a puzzle, which if successful lights up. I started playing the game and I noticed a few things wrong with it. First, the game needs batteries, but to insert the batteries, you need a little screwdriver to open the case and put the batteries in. You think that would be bad enough. Another issue I had is that the pieces never stay in place. In order for it to light up, I usually have to press down on the pieces. That’s so annoying. And, why is the beginner section so difficult? I mean, come on! Imagine that there’s something you want and you finally get it, but it turns out to be a major letdown. That’s what Circuit Maze is. I don’t know if I can even bother taking it back for a refund since I already opened the plastic thing which had the cards that showed the puzzles to perform. What a disappointing gift.
My wife went across the country to visit family last week. When she left, I had covid for the first time. The second night at 12:30 AM, my daughter threw up all over the bathroom floor, shat her britches because the stomach bug she had then broke a glass while trying to drink some water. I cleaned all of them up and did some laundry because the mess got all over clothes, bath mats, towels, etc. My other daughter caught what big sister had. Nevertheless, I made sure the kids were well fed and the house was spotless when my wife came home two days ago. She was so happy that she wanted to thank me properly, if you know what I mean, but she was too tired from traveling all day Wednesday. Yesterday afternoon, I contracted violent diarrhea, the likes of which I have only experienced once on a trip to Mexico. This is likely my daughter’s stomach bug. That put an end to any hope I had of grown-up fun. Seems like the only thing I can’t catch is a break.
I am sick of listening to these cry baby FSU fans. Get in a better conference.
The Bills still haven’t won the Super Bowl. I’ve gotten rejected by 5 girls this year alone with one ghosting me after wanting to go out with me. Another girl I really liked and met at college is dating my good friend. I wasn’t able to get into the same dorm building next year with all my friends and now have to walk 20 minutes to get to campus next year in New Brunswick winters. Micro Econ took 10 years off my life. Young Sheldon is ending. Captain Holt died. Damar Hamlin literally died on the field and got me worried for days on end for him. FSU still owns Miami Hurricanes football. None of my college friends live within 1000 km of me during winter break and the summer.
I made some jerk chicken the other day. And he didn’t even say thank you!
I’m sick of reality television. The person who won Survivor didn’t deserve it. I should just stop watching the show altogether. A few years, when I read that they started allowing Canadians to appear on Survivor, I suggested to CBS (via e-mail) that there should be a U.S.A. vs. Canada edition. I’m still waiting, but I don’t know if I’m going to get it. Also, when I watch Survivor, there always seems to be an all-female alliance. Is there ever going to be an all-male alliance one day? Plus, I hate the reunion shows now. They take place on the island instead of at the CBS studio. Because of that, we can only see the contestants that made it to the jury and not the contestants that were voted out before like they used to do. I’ve cut Amazing Race out of my life, I’ve cut Hell’s Kitchen out of my life. Now, it’s time to pull the plug on Survivor.
I got a big problem with servers in coffee shops who hand me a card payment machine with tip options on the screen and want me to choose one when I just ordered a coffee at the counter.
Handing a coffee across the counter in a take out cup does not warrant a tip. That is not a tippable activity. If I sit in and the server takes my order at the table and then brings me the coffee, that’s a tippable activity.
Then my wife always says “oh you have to add a 20% tip” for the counter coffee because everybody else does, that drives me crazy too and I have a big problem with that.
Plus the 20% tip isn’t even the smallest tip option and it’s really hard to find the “no tip” option because it’s deliberately small and on the wrong place on the screen of the card payment machine.
The counter coffee order that is fully completed at the counter by handing over a coffee is not a tippable activity. Never has and never will.
The Hallmark channel started playing Christmas movies in September. And the movies are basically all the same. Some even have the same actors.
I also hate when Costco puts up the Christmas stuff in July. What the heck.
Taylor Swift. she’s just some rich white girl who struck it big. some people love her voice, and others say she’s a poet. I mean, come ON people. her singing sucks, her lyrics are stupid, and her outfits- well, I won’t even start on those.
biased news. need I say more?
The descriptions on Netflix are never grammatically correct. I mean, you’re a billion dollar streaming service, at least get an editor!
Maryland doesn’t have a soccer team.
🤣 this one! I love it!
People who don’t close the lid on the toilet. It’s there for a reason.
I have a problem with all the people out there who use an exclamation mark to end every sentence in emails.
I have a problem with companies giving awards to people who work in the company for just doing their jobs.
I have a bigger problem with people who win such awards posting about how “honoured” they are to win them on social media.
