Gggrrrm arrgh

TheCatWoman

It's done it again, I start a search on Amazon and find it's taken me back to a previous but related search WHY, WHY, does it do this? How dare this supposedly unthinking pile of offal, think that it knows what I want, when I've told it something different? It's like an abusive relationship! I feel like it's gaslighting me.

A major supermarket tried to rip me off earlier too, it had an alleged special offer 4 for £5, and despite having lables confirming this on the shelf, it didnt' at the till, so I challenged them and a supervisor had to go and check and she came back equally confused, but put my stuff through at 4 for £5 as the signage was so unclear and confusing. It feels like a deliberate attempt to get people to buy more than they would if it wasn't on offer, this supermarket has form for this, which is why I always check to make sure. Ggggrrrrr.

I did buy a pretty bush half price in another shop, about the same as the money I saved on the other stuff.

What's made you Ggrr and arrgh lately?

  • Mine will be my mum not getting the hint that I don’t fancy this celebrity that she has a dare I say “obsessive” crush on. It’s been like this for years but if I say I’m not interested she thinks I’m messing and I get the “how can you not like him” or “do you have muck in your eyes” excuses but it’s now getting that way I’m freaking out whenever I see him and she keeps sending me gifs of him which is making things worse but she won’t stop no matter what I say or do, she doesn’t get the hint. If I say it’s causing me distress or that she says I’m in denial and it’s other things disturbing me. I’m actually starting to worry about mum now I’ve tried to say it’s getting out of control but she says it’s worth it. Seriously though I’ve had stronger crushes on cartoon characters than this celebrity but she doesn’t get the hint. I’m shuddering as I write this. 

    Another will be of course the traumas and stimuli that upset me racing around my head and affecting my sleeping. It’s mucking my sleep pattern up and then I’m sleeping throughout the day. Could be med withdrawal though too
