Frustrations
Recently...
I got told to pick up my glasses and when I went they said they were broken and reordered. Lovely.
Pulling away from not getting glasses, I backed out my new car slowly and straightly (parked closely next to a tall vehical that probably was not a compact car) while this other car like 2 or 3 spots over backed out quickly and at a huge curve and almost backed into me. Then the lady started cursing as though she wasn't the careless person rushing and nearly wrecking my new car. I had to flip her off on principal.
I was supposed to get my contact lenses delivered via Fedex. They said they would deliver them today and did not. By the time I called to ask why they were not delivered today (as promised yesterday that they would be today) the spot to pick them up was already closed.
People using bad grammar criticise how hard my book is to translate due to poor grammar. Why are they translating my ebook anyway?
An asshole from the UK (they seem to try to be more direct and ruder over there) requested a refund for buying my ebook. In addition to being too stupid or lazy and not reading that my book was an ebook he bitched about that and said my book was not for professionals, yet it has been used as college course text and one of the top 5 book publishers in the world offered to publish my book.
Some idiot created a list of sites to hack and included my site on it.
A guy created a blogspot blog for doling out outdated versions of my blog.
Some idiot stole my about page then tried to pawn the move off as smart marketing. What a desperate loser.
As SEO has gone mainstream my interactions with customers and others have been less positive recently. Lots of other rants I could post, but the good news is I am still really happy right now.
