Minor Annoyances (Vol 2)


Recommended Posts

Posted

My new flat has a socket issue that's annoyed me. We've got a trifector of doors in a little alcove - our room, my son's and the bathroom. As he's quite new to sleeping in his own room we like to keep the doors ajar and a bit of light at night but there's no plug in that area for a nightlight meaning the only options are turning the bright bathroom light on or a battery powered light that might die during the night.

How about a dimmer for the room light? It should allow you to lower the light level to a comforting level.

Having an eating disorder and being no more than 9 stone, if that currently and being told off by my dad i am eating too much, literally a banana sandwich and 2 boiled eggs, pah (trying to eat little and often to regain) 

Luckily i will eventually, but much to my shame, be moved into care to hopefully avoid not just this, but a torrid of mental and physical ive endured for pretty much all my life and to hopefully actually be able to heal my fragile body and mind, i wish i didnt take things to heart so much but unfortunately it takes next to nothing for a few words for me to either stay in bed for many weeks 

THANK GOODNNESS FOR MY MUM! ♥

 

Very sorry to hear all that. Doesn’t sound like a fun time to be fair. 
 

Moving away from a stressful situation sounds like a wise move.



Best of luck in your recovery and i hope all works out well for you.

Don't know all the details Ralphy, but trust me a fresh start does usually do most people good. Appreciate you dont know me from Adam, but I've worked in care for a long time with many different forms and in my personal life so have a fair bit of experience I'm happy to share and help you with.

Feel free to inbox any time you want to vent or ask for help. Same for anyone who may feel they need it.

My Fitbit had problems with it's battery (it kept running down really fast), I had a look on the app and saw it needed an update. Started the update and it's been downhill since then. It now won't switch in, if I put on the charger, it boots up and then goes to a red x and turns off. I did a factory reset and got past that and now it just won't switch on unless it's on the charger and won't pair to my phone. I've been getting support from the tech department at Fitbit and have tried a few different fixes, all failed. We are now 3 hours in to my call with tech support. I'm losing the will to live

If being moved into care is needed, @Ralphy, there's no shame in it. 

Absolutely this. I had a friend in high school who had an eating disorder and was moved into care and it was the best thing for her. Might have even saved her life. 

I wish you the best with everything you're going through. While it might not seem like it at the moment, things will get better!

This is the most minor of minor annoyances, but you can watch a longplay video of literally any videogame in history on Youtube and one of the comments will be 'this needs a remaster!' 
Just play the original!

But how does a simpleton like me do that? I'd love nothing more than to play Simpsons Road Rage, Tekken Tag Tournament or WWE All Stars again, but I don't have the capability!

American toilets. Doors are too short. The walls are too short. There are gaps. WHY. I WANT SOME FUCKING PRIVACY YOU PEEPING BASTARDS.

American toilets have water up to the brim so they clean far easier and you could flush a small car down them. I think they're great.

How are they not getting splashback when they have a shit or sitting down to piss then?

They only shit out dollar bills. The poors who do real shits just use park benches in New York.
