RE: When It Shouldn't Be Difficult—But It Is

in OCD5 years ago

Sometimes it seems that nothing is going ones way, turn signal bulb-housings do their best to confound us and gift cards seek to trip us over...Let's not mention being on the phone on hold...

One thing I notice in your post is the lack of anger although you may have felt it. Frustration too. I think you've handled this well and hope that tomorrow is a better day but if not it's certainly going to be e new day, so that's something.

All the best Glen.

P.s. I have my own turn signal change over story...Much the same as yours, more broken parts...Most of which I broke in frustration. Lol.

Hey, @allover.

It must be a turn signal epidemic, then. :)

re: lack of anger

Well, I don't think I got mad over it, but there was definitely a level of frustration. It tends to filter out to a degree when I'm writing, but I think you've seen it on the other post, or at least in my comments. I get fed up. This time around it was more like, "This shouldn't be so hard."

Calling any kind of phone support is generally the last thing I want to do, especially over stuff like the gift card. A phantom $25 floating around somewhere out there, just not where some card reader can see it.

I'll admit that I am prone to frustration in some things. Engine bays with no access to headlights and turn signals are one of them. It's like they want to make it so difficult to replace a bulb that you give up and buy a new car. Nearly worked with me once.

Please don't get me started on phone support...I have had a lovely day, don't want to ruin it. I have some time on the phone coming up I think, trying to claim some flight back...I'm not looking forward to it.
