What Annoyed You Today? (1 Viewer)

Roche, my heart goes out to you. I've had to make that decision twice in the last 18 months. First with Bob because of kidney failure and then Rusty due to a sudden abnormal growth in his abdomen. Never an easy decision, but love demands it if they are in any kind of pain. Each time one of our little four legged angels dies, my heart breaks. When I say our, that includes your k9 companions.
 
My dishwasher has been leaking this night. I found out this morning when the whole kitchen was flooded and the water has even gone through the wall to the hallway. We've got a wooden floor, so this is going to be expensive if it has to be replaced.
I hope your floor can be saved. Had a water heater leak and flood most of the house some years ago. We have slab flooring and so it was only a matter of getting the carpets and pads to dry out.
 
Very sad news Karl, my thoughts are with you.

This week keeps getting better and better.....
So in addition to the higher mortgage payments, stolen bike and broken dishwasher, I found out today that I'm being taken off the best work project I've ever been on a few months before it's over and being put on a job that from everything I know about it promises to be one of the worst and could be stuck there a year or more.

I hear what you are saying Glenn and while it is no comfort nor met to be "life gives us roses and piles of sh*t",Me I have been stuck in compost for about two years now a lilac would do for now :) I do hope your new appointment is not as bad as feared ;)
 
Some difficult times guys sorry to hear of it....

Discovered this afternoon A Guy I dealt with on a semi regular basis before he retired late last year passed away from cancer this morning....so it seems a few of us are finishing the week on a rather sour note...:(
 
Finding out that my younger sister had to put down her Dachshund named Diamond this weekend. Seems she had a tumor on her liver that burst and she was unresposive and could not walk. I used to take care of her on weekends and when they went on vacation so it's almost like loosing my own dog.
I'm going to miss her standing on her hind legs and peeking over the leg rest of my lazybog, letting me know she wanted up. I would have to lean forward so she could jump up, the scoot myself over so she could lay next to me between my left leg and the armrest, had to be on the left side... or when she would get startled and run around the room like a bat out of hell, yipping, and then jump up in the chair and most times I don't think she was even awake anymore when she landed on it.

Sorry to hear that. Loss of any little "bark angel" can be heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers for you and your sister at this time of sorrow.

Things are getting worse. Got an insurance expert and they only want to pay the dayvalue. That value has been estimated as 600 euro, while I need 1800 euro to repair the damage. Bloody vultures.
 
Just before leaving the animal shelter yesterday, a family came in wanting to surrender a dog. When they found out what the fee would be they left. As I was headed home, just down the street where I couldn't stop, I saw the dog heading back toward the shelter. The rotten rat bastard just dumped the dog to face possible death or injury under the wheels of any passing car. It reminded me of my ex-stepfather dumping our dog Smut one night in Birmingham Ala.
 
I came home from the animal shelter today and because our current doctor wouldn't refill a prescription written by our previous doctor, my estranged wife went into another one of her vile moods. When that happens, this place isn't fit for man nor beast. We share the house and live on my Social Security and if it weren't for my three little dogs, I would find a way to afford a divorce from the b%t^h and leave her to fend for her self. It's a da*n shame that Adam couldn't be satisfied with his right hand and a sheep. Now that I have that off my chest I feel a little better. On the good side, one of my little fur babies at the shelter was adopted today.
 
Discovered wet floorboards in my 2001 Blazer. Had a very wet week this past week, so will have to find the leak.

I know your pain, Marcel.

I hate insurance companies almost as much as I hate lawyers and politicians. They are all dead-weight on society and every time I have to deal with one, I am overcome with the urge to throat-punch them.

It's been one year and five months since that old woman hit me head-on and her insurance company still has NOT compensated me for my car or related expenses. Six months after the wreck they sent me a form to sign off on my car (just the car, not the camera equipment that was destroyed or the rental vehicles I had to pay for) and that check was for the "generous" amount of $9,000. Considering that my Scion tC was just 5 years old with only 38,000 original miles, special ordered from the factory with all performance options...$9,000 wouldn't have even been a down payment on it when it was new. So I rejected that offer and they have refused to even respond to my letters, emails or phone calls.

This was NOT a $9,000 car:
