I guess it is time for me to add my first bitch to the thread. Here it is:
I work at IKEA, yes IKEA. The crappy Swedish furniture store, where, the furniture is held together by wooden pegs. Well, I work in the department of the store known as recovery which means we put together the furniture that people return and try to sell it again - in the AS IS section of the store.
On Sunday my manager in all of his infinite wisdom schedules the two new people to close, by ourselves. You're thinking what's the problem? First problem: Neither of us knew how to clear the returns screens or where to take the warehouse returns at night. Second problem: We can't take the garbage down to the trash compactor because neither of us are eighteen. So, when the store manager, the other new person's mom came down, she said we could leave. So we did.
The next day I come into work, knowing that I am going to expect a torrent of complaints. The odd part was the only complaint I got was from another part-time worker who worksr like fifteen hours a week...and I don't really care what he has to say. The assistant manager said nothing, but the manager wasn't there. So today when both of the new hires yet again will close I'm sure our manager will try to rip us a new asshole. I just pray for his sake that he doesn't...for I don't take crap from managers at part time jobs.
Cool, a job at IKEA?? Do you get discounts on their products? If you do, I imagine your apartment or home looks like Ed Norton's character's home in Fight Club, before he blows it up. Working a part time job as a teen, I always had the prereq that you got discounts on their products and that their products were worth buying, so I worked at a Subway and a Best Buy. IKEA is right up there.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
the new job... that i have been at for 2 months. *sigh*
they want me to list for sale old phone system equipment on ebay. simple enough, i do have alot of ebay experience. So much bitching about this, the lady i work with is talking to me about it.. then goes to talk to this other guy about it as if i dont know the answer to her question... i was ebaying in 1998... wtf. anyhow, they dont have an existing account so i have to make one. And with no feedback history you are limited in several ways on ebay, no buy it now, no dutch auction style...
they want to sell these phones that are fairly new and they will take ahuge loss from whaty they bought them for. So i get done listing the phones and my boss is talking about he wants at least $100 per phone... not going to happen.
Then he proceeds to show me 3 huge boxes full of 2-3 generations old phone systems i'm sopposed to sell and is telling me how they bought them for like 300 each. This is stuff you would see listed for free on craigslist... its so old, the numbers on the phones are done in a digital looking hash way.. jesus christ. all i can do is bitch, this job is rediculous.
bbaucom, you are the driving force behind the bitching thread.

Cheap furniture is good furniture. Garage sales ftw.
Say no to used mattresses though.
Yeah, and chicks love IKEA furniture, so you can either hook them up or impress them when they visit your pad.

My bitch of the day: Doritos.
Why do everyone buy the regular nacho cheese flavor? Whenever there's any sort of social event and Doritos are served, it's the nacho cheese flavor. What's up with that? There are plenty of other flavors, most of which are better than nacho cheese. It really bugs me.
Cooler Ranch and Fiery Habanero are wicked and much better than the standard nacho cheese flavor, but I wouldn't complain either way. Free doritos is free doritos.
edit: Just kidding. My real bitch: spiders. At least that's what I think attacked me last night, so now I have two large and one small painful welts on my hands and arm from something that bit me while I was sleeping. Just as my sandfly bites healed up, now I have to scratch at these spider bites. This place sux.

Nacho Cheese flavor is like the baseline Doritos flavor (Honorable Mention to Cooler Ranch). If you grab a bunch of people at random and put a bag of NC and a bag of some newer brand out for them, chances are more people will go for the NC. Just like you can expect more people to like plain Lays than bbq in a group of random people.
I'm not sure about that...unless you throw dip into the equation, but that's kind of a wild card. From my exp, people go for the bbq more. And i dont understand the nacho cheesier thing; those are bar none, the worst doritos; yet people ravage them at parties. Ranch FTW!!!Originally Posted by Yukimura
It's the same with soft drinks and Coke. Whenever anyone buys soft drinks in large quantities for parties or whatever, they always buy Coke, because that's the "standard" soda. It doesn't matter that most people will probably prefer Dr. Pepper or Pepsi, coke is just the safe bet because most people will probably drink it. Also Sprite.Originally Posted by Yukimura
And for the record, I actually prefer Nacho Cheesier.

<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
My bitch of the day: joker-kun. How do the Japanese address him, joker-kun-kun, or joker-kun-chan? Makes no sense.

It shouldn't be either, since my name is Animeniax, which only vaguely resembles that cartoon's name.Originally Posted by Hikyuu

I like all the Extreme flavors. They just pack so much more flavor than nacho cheese.
