• IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Please read THIS THREAD about a rebrand for SF.

Post your *petty* complaint here

You know the general type of doctor, as in "general practitioner", "primary care physician" or "family doctor"?

I think it's dumb how they try to cover everything. Physical health.. mental health.. aking about your life in general..

How about just sticking to physical health? Okay, maybe try and rule out physical causes of mental health issues if you like, but that's it.

Most probably won't get what my problem is, but if you know you know!
 
I hate how some things easily falls off from the table and shelves. I just leave them on the floor since they like it so much, it has reached a point where they are no longer my problem, you keep falling then stay on the floor.

I hate it when smart home gadgets require different smart apps based on their brand, shouldn’t brand companies do something about this, unify that shit bitch.
 
I fucking hate my allergic rhinitis.
How I wake up and the first thing that happens is my nose filling up with mucus and I go in to the nonstop sneezing until I get all of it out.

and the sneezing fits will randomly occur throughout the day.

What is even the point of air filters?

My nose and my entire body is always itchy, can i just have one day with nothing itching.

Dutch is such an abysmally hard language to learn.
It's this incomprehensible labyrinth of arbitrary rules.
Like literally, half the time, the reason a rule applies a certain way to a certain word seems to be "because it does".

For example, there are two different words for "the".
One, "de", is gendered.
The other, "het", is not.

So like, "the child" is "het kind", but "the boy" is "de jongen".
Makes sense, right?
Except fuck you, "the girl" is "het meisje".
Wanna make it more confusing?
Collective terms like that are "de" even if the singular is "het".
So "het meisje" becomes "de meisjes".
So girls are not gendered on their own, but they are in a group.
But that's a general rule for pluralising, so overall makes sense, right?
Except fuck you again, "the family", a collective of people, is "het gezin".

And it's just an entire language of this kinda nonsense.
Sometimes you use an adjective and have to end it with an e, so say, "our", which is "ons", randomly has to become "onze".
Sometimes you don't though, so you'd be wrong in saying "is het een goedkope ei?", it has to be "is het een goedkoop ei?"
I think it's tied to the same gendered thing?

Some adjectives go before the verb, some go after.
So "ik eet soms vlees" but "ik slaap misschien".
Literally the inverse of how it works in English.
Some go before, unless the sentence is structured differently, then they go after.
And vice versa.
Sometimes pronouns need to end in -ij, sometimes they don't.
Sometimes it's fine to use either, sometimes it isn't.
Better write "zij en haar broer spelen", not "ze en haar broer spelen", moron.

I can feel my soul slowly dying trying to understand all this.
I feel like i'm staring directly into the face of an old god, and acquiring cursed knowledge no human was ever supposed to possess.
I'm pretty sure the original transcription of the Necronomicon was just the Dutch dictionary.
Some cursed abomination of a language that when spoken brings demons into this plane of reality.
Kaya has so much fun watching me suffer learning it.
But i just wanna be able to speak my GF's native tongue dammit!
I very much get why she prefers English though, and now i'm quite thankful for it.

A real sentence in Dutch: "Zij zijn zijn zoons".
Means "They are his sons".

"Zijn" mean "his", but also "their".
But not "her" cos that's "haar".
Meanwhile "zij" means "they" but also "she".
But not "he", cos that's "hij".

How and why and what the hell were people smoking when they came up with this language?

Lol I agree with you on all of this. I've been learning Dutch through Duolingo for like 6 months now, and it still gets tricky. Maybe I should have started off with an easier language :D
 
Got new lawnmower shipped to my house because I had no way to get it home (roughly 100 pounds and huge box). defective. The company then shipped me a replacement and it was delivered by freight. now they want the broken one back (no problem) and sent me a shipping label. But they did not include pickup charges since i have no way to put it in my car by myself .

After arguing for a half hour in which they said they could do nothing, I arranged for pickup and incurred a $10 charge. not a money killer but a true petty complaint.
 
Some people are still confused when some say they are a youtuber or a social media influencer as to what do they exactly do for a living.

But you know what’s really vague?
- serial tech entrepreneur and philanthropist

wtf is a serial tech entrepreneur? what exactly is that? the only time I hear the word serial is when it is immediately followed by the word killer, and a philanthropist? Am i the only one that feels suspicious… is this another code name for money laundering?
