On the flip-side...

A couple of years ago the inner panel and insulation started separating on our chest freezer's door. I could have bought the parts and fixed it myself, but they would have cost more than just buying an entirely new freezer. :roll:

You are making me nervous - I am doing my laundry and I just put something in the fridge.

My complaint of the day? I sing too beautifully.*

TFW you're looking at making a significant watch purchase, but you wait too long to pull the trigger and then unexpected bills show up.

My complaint of the day: companies that generate a UPS or FedEx shipping label, thereby generating a shipment notification email, but then wait several days before actually shipping.

Tap. Talk. Buy a watch. Repeat.

Best NFL coach rant by a factor of 10 that no one knows about.

Jerry Burns has a complaint about the fans booing and wanting Burns to fire the late Vikings OC Bob Schnelker.

This complaint/rant came after a come from behind overtime victory against the Rams.

Jerry had to get one more F--kers in under his breath on the way out, I love Burnsie!

I love Oris. I truly do. But when will they actually create something new? All these special editions based on the same watch bodies? It’s getting a bit boring.

This may be in the wrong place.

On ebay I hate to give a newby (gold star - 30 or 40 f/b) but what do you think?

In the description he wrote "fast shipping" Auction closed evening of Sat. Aug 1. I Paypaled him $$$ that evening. USPS got the watct on 8/6.

What was he doing with my watch from 8/1 to 8/6?? Did his delivery snail break down? No his fault that USPS still hasn't delivered it - its been raining in the Lou - but why did it take so long for him to get it to USPS?

Would you neg the jerk??

You can still give a neutral rating, right? If not, just call out shipping delay in the feedback.
If not, I recall that you can give a star rating for specifics like shipping, etc.
