No detail or emotion. Also hate how society looks down on people who express emotion and use that as an excuse to portray them as out of control or childish. What's the point of living life like that? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I'm hypocritical all the time. I just thought it was funny when I read it.

My own personal golden rule is "do as I say, not as I do" lol
It's other people that grind my gears, I dont really find that I get on my own nerves

Power went out due to the weather. I can understand bad weather causing problems, but it happens so often in the neighbourhood for exact same reason. The transformer is insanely outdated and they keep building condos which just adds to the power consumption.

There were explosions because of the overload and weather. Despite this, the city likely does nothing about it to fix this issue. I guess next bad weather day I should just turn off lights and electronics in advance. Although even good weather days the power could go too.

From my experience, it's because the opinion isn't based on anything they can actually explain.

I feel this is the majority of opinions.

It requires a signature so I literally have to be home all day waiting for them to show up, only to have them cancel every time. There is no restriction, this doesn't make sense. I honestly feel like the driver doesn't know where the apartments are located. What makes me even more frustrated is the local fedex pickup is 1 mile from here but they won't allow me to select "hold at fedex location". Spoiler yeah yeah I know, better call someone It's an item I don't even want. I'm being forced to upgrade my phone because 2G is being phased out. So frustrating (and kinda ironic now that I think of it)

This is astonishingly happening again. There was a valentine's clearance sale for phone upgrades and I really wanted an upgrade because the phone I got before is just brutal. Was apprehensive because I remember the hassle with the Fedex delivery issue from before. I finally tracked the package down last time with help of my landlord, she happened to recognize the name that signed for it from a local business.

So today is the day of delivery for the new phone, and I'm high anxiety again because I know that door knock is coming and if I'm not prepared it could trigger an "amygdala hijack", plus the fear of the driver screwing up AGAIN. Welp, it happened, I saw the Fedex truck drive up, pass the entrance, pull in next door, sit for a minute, and drive away. I refresh the tracking page and it now says "Incorrect address - street number", so I double check my shipping address and everything is correct. This is unreal, and of course the suggested action is to call a number
