Have you been haunted by a supernatural entity while trying to do a bit of robbing?
Has some bastard in an Impala shot your mate and then tried binding you in salt?
Are you a little bit thirsty for sanguine delights but some von twat head keeps trying to stake you?
Whatever your complaint, it’s our regular Complaints Thread, but suitably stupider for Halloween. Come on in!

Rear ended Monday by someone in a massive pick up truck damaging boot, bumper, sensors and weirdly doing something to the transmission according to the onboard panicking computer.
Last night – the shits!
My colleagues reactions to me resigning has been a bit uneven. I’ve been there several years, so everyone was shocked. The rest of team I’ve online with worked with for a couple of years and they’ve not responded said much to me, especially the other person at my level. The other staff gave been pretty supportive and understanding, but I’ve worked with them all for years. One boss has accepted it, so we’re being professional and friendly and getting things done because I don’t want to leave on bad terms. The other boss is still sulking and making daily “jokey” comments, that I’m already tired of, about me going. I get everyone deals with things differently but certain people’s attitudes have confirmed why I’m off, how dare I be selfish and put my needs and health first.
All dressed up and off to work I go. I get frustrated when asking people what to do and they just go ‘don’t know’ reel off options and then go ‘not sure’. I hate making decisions.
I was pondering yesterday that I can’t remember the last time I didn’t feel tired. Maybe the constant tiredness is just normal for late middle age.
Am I wrong to think it’s inappropriate for my boss to complain to me, the employee he pays, about the minimum wage and NI going up? I get that as a business owner you’re not going to be thrilled about costs going up but what is he expecting me to say? “Please cut my hours, I don’t really need the money”. “Yeah that’s so annoying, I think you should be allowed to only pay me £3 an hour”.
No complaint as I’ve the week off work. Going to cinema later to see heretic. Looks creepy. I was at Dr’s yesterday’s though with a sore thigh when I lay down, trapped nerve they say so having physio.
My sister died on Halloween 4 years ago. All week I’ve been wondering why I feel sad and then today I realised.
Work is being a lot and my anxiety has been in overdrive for various reasons for about a month now. I’m grateful for supportive colleagues/friends/partner and (mostly) good health, but *man* do I just want to crawl back into bed and sleep for the next 24 hours
I’m on leave next week, and I’ve a rare night out with mates on Saturday, so of course I wake up this morning feeling like I’ve a cold coming on.
Anxiety is bad this week so I’m trying my best not to be a pain in the arse so we can enjoy our night away in Newcastle.
Invited next door neighbours over as I have a spare pumpkin and thought it might be nice if their toddler helped carve it. Now I have to toddler-proof the place and make sure all sharp things are placed out of reach.
Picked up a cold/flu/possibly Covid earlier in the week. Can’t sleep properly, and if I sniff too deep when trying to breath in my left side aches.
I’m doing nothing for the next few days.
Google maps is not playing ball this morning. Causing a fair amount of disruption.
I hear a narrative earlier in the week that was so far removed from the truth it was shocking. Couldn’t be bothered to mention the truth is totally different. I am out of that situation and I am happier. Some doors are best left closed, I guess.
My main route to town is via an off road cycle path that runs through a nature reserve. It’s beautiful but can feel isolated and now the clocks have changed I really feel my freedom being cut off. I’ve realised that to go up after work, I’d be coming back in the dark which I’m not brave enough for.
Really annoying to have to push all my errands to the weekend or have to pay for the bus if I want to feel safe
Almost every day I walk past the most wonderful tree. It’s easily 200 years old, has been part of the area way before the houses were here, and it’s full of birds. I mean REALLY full of birds. The volume of those little guys chirping is deafening and it’s wonderful.
Anyway, two days ago they cut it down.
Obligatory post for this time of year so sorry in advance.
**Fucking fireworks can fuck off.**
Day and night twats setting them off constantly, even 1 am etc. Who sets fireworks off during daylight, who are the selfish knobs having full on firework displays every single evening in October while surrounded by neighbours with pets?
Well last night I was woken at 3am to my cats going mental in our bedroom. Turns out a bat was flying around.
I’ve got a spot on my chin that is blessedly tiny, but is somehow tickling a nerve on my face so every time I talk, chew, or yawn it hurts. I’m in my 40’s ffs, when do I get to finally stop dealing with this shit??
My Grandmother has to give a stool sample to the GP, and all I can think about is the famous Reddit Poop Knife (Sorry guys)
Anyway, I have two cats: best described as Jack Sprat (can eat no fat) and his wife (can eat no lean).
The ‘wife’ (Chunky) is having a whale of a time getting fat on whatever leftovers Jack Sprat (Princess) won’t eat (I don’t double feed Chunk, just hand her the leftovers instead of her actual food).
So we’re currently raging at Princess because she just won’t eat one! whole packet, she’ll only eat half of it because she’s a Prissy Princess. Meanwhile, Prissy’s complaints are that we shove tablets down her twice a day, and ‘make’ her eat kidney care food (how dare!) and pay stupid amounts of money for the vet hospital visit so that her kidneys didn’t kill her. And how dare I take her to the Vet yesterday for a blood test to check said kidneys, how rude.
This is currently not a happy household lololol.
It’s foggy in Oxfordshire this morning. If you have a car with auto headlights, which most seem to be nowadays, remember that they might not turn on, but they really should be on. Do it manually for once.
Can’t just be me who absolutely hates when you search for a specific issue and end on on an official forum/help site for whatever thing it is and it’s full of “power users” who just spout generic rubbish whilst completely ignoring the actual issue.
Seems they are just addicted to making the post posts and farming “likes”
I was meant to take my driving test today but pushed it back as I realised I wasn’t ready to take it at an unfamiliar test centre
I’ve kept the day off I booked and have no idea what to do with myself. I’ve got a parcel to return and one to pick up but beyond that I have no idea and it probably says a lot about my current mental state that I’m not excited about a day off
If I go anywhere I’ll end up spending money. If I stay home flatmate’s clingy barky dog will get on my nerves
Argh
I used to go all out for Halloween. I decorated the window and front lawn, dressed up, had mountains of sweets, the lot. In 2019, I had over 100 kids at the door, and I bloody loved it.
Obviously, in 2020 we didn’t encourage people travelling around in packs and banging on doors. And now my illnesses have progressed, and I simply can’t be jumping up and down every 5 minutes to answer the door. I don’t decorate, I keep the lights low, and I don’t answer the door to the princesses and superheroes and tiny pumpkins in pushchairs. It’s a little bit devastating.
I’ve been struck down with a cold this week, and have reached the point where I’ve lost my voice. I miss being able to breathe properly too.
I cut a cat flat in my home office door so I don’t get disturbed by the cat wanting to get in/out when I’m in meetings.
Which was a great idea if they didn’t just sit in the opening complaining at me that the door isn’t open.
Thing is that they do use it, but only when they feel like it. They just prefer the door open.
