Costco doesn’t even have straws. I spent valuable minutes looking for one until another kind shopper told me no straws. Then I spent more minutes looking stupid figuring out how I’m supposed to drink it.
I don’t mind looking foolish but looking stupid I find unpleasant.
It has been more than 2 weeks since I have been inside Cafe 1.50, but last time I went we still had straws. They have the sippy cup lid top, so I don’t use a straw (even when I get the top).
I have been waiting on my dues invoice from the AAA, and expected to get it by now. I automatically send emails from the Academy to a special AAA folder, but I realized yesterday that I could not find that folder. I did a search of “dues” in Outlook and saw the email was in that folder, but just could NOT find it.
Finally located it after scouring every single folder and subfolder (I have a lot), found it buried somehow in my “Sent” folder, so it must have been moved there manually and accidentally at some point.

My Costco had straws when I was there this week.
I’m not liking the new iPhone update
The pull down menu from the top right corner is all effed up now…it shows controls for the last thing I was using instead of the menu of controls I’m looking for. If I wanted to control the last thing I was using I wouldn’t have pulled down the damn drop down menu
I rarely eat breakfast. Today I decided to ride to get biscuits and gravy, got here and they are sold out! It’s fine, I got a breakfast burrito, but I really wanted the biscuit. They add fennel and tarragon and it’s so savory.

Second annoyed breakfast thought. It took a little better than a half hour for my burrito to arrive. It’s not that busy here, and I’m sitting at the bar so I’m visible. Someone finally came over and asked me if that was my order number and I said yeah, could you check on it, it’s been 30+ minutes. And just then someone put my food on the counter and they both just walked away. Kinda rude.

I mentioned elsewhere I am going to the Galapagos soon. I got an email this morning notifying me of a flight schedule change. Delta booked me on a flight a day earlier, which doesn’t work. Meanwhile the original flight is still leaving at the same time, and my seats are currently available. WTF. Been going round and round with them for a while.
The boring details, that I am writing while on hold again bored and frustrated:
Summary
First, I call customer service. They try everything to make you go away without talking to a human. Can you go online? Can we text you a link? Can you work it out with our chat bot? No, no, no. Ask for a representative. Wait time is 36 minutes. Can we call you back at this number then? You won’t lose your place in line. OK.
45 minutes later, no call back so I call again on another phone. 36 minute wait time. No, you can’t call me back I’ll wait. Still no callback from the other ticket nearly 2 hours later now, but they did actually pick up in 36 minutes.
I explain to the rep the situation. She says I’m sorry, there was a major schedule change. I say I’m sorry, there was not as the same daily flights are leaving at the same time with the same flight numbers as always. They just booted me from the one I’ve been on since reserving in February. At first she says she can put me on our original flight, but in coach rather than comfort. I grouse about that given I had comfort seats specifically due to a redeye flight. While she checks on other class availability for a long time, I hop online again and see that our actual seats that they booted us from on the flight are still there. I tell her I can buy them now, so maybe she can refund my ticket and I’ll just buy another. She tries again, and lo and behold she agrees they are selling the seats they booted us from and she thinks she can get them back. Lots of apparent technical difficulties, so they still have “specialists” trying to sort this out.
Fingers crossed. Not how I planned to spend my Sunday.

I didn’t find a PITA Thoughts thread, so I’ll use this one. The US government seems to want us to use login.gov to access more and more of its sights, including ones where we already had user names and passwords. Most recently for me, that meant ssa.gov (Social Security). But in addition to logging in the login.gov, there were several more checks to verify my identity. The first was 3 multiple choice questions each with a “none of the above” option. Two were fine for me (one of which with “none of the above” correct), but the other: In what year did you open your credit card with ___ bank: 3 choices plus “none of the above”. Hello?? I have two currently active credit cards with that bank, one of which had one of those three years, one of which had a “none of the above” year. And, as my wife pointed out earlier, I had another card, now closed, which might have corresponded to years shown or to “none of the above” years. Fortunately, I guessed correctly how to answer. FWIW, guessing was harder because one of the active cards was opened in my name only, one opened jointly, and fortunately I guessed to answer based on the card opened jointly. I suppose that perhaps the system would have accepted multiple answers as correct, based on the multiple cards, but that seems unlikely to me.
Then to top it off, I had to use my phone to take pictures of both sides of my drivers license (there were alternative ways to satisfy that part of the identify verification, some not requiring a smart phone, but taking the picture was the EASIEST). This for a person that already had a login.gov account, that I had already logged in with to start the process today, and already had an ssa.gov account (which they could have asked the user name and password of for verification, but didn’t.)
