Weekly Complaint Thread – 18 September 2025

1. Drug stores by me don’t open until 10am. It’s as if we’re expected to get sick on a schedule?? Or miss work for just a cold.

2. I hate this second rainy season. Almost every day for the last few weeks we’ve had rain, sometimes quite heavy. This is not good for farmwork or yardwork and is bad for several things I am growing.

3. I was looking back at old pictures. By this day in 2017 myself and my friends were wearing jeans and light hoodies or long sleeve shirts. Now it’s still too hot for a plain T shirt. 

4. Burnt out. Bosses are out of touch. Client is dogshit. Holidays are too few. Can only switch jobs next year because reasons.

   I wish capitalism would just collapse already.

5. Why punks gotta rev their engines and tear down the street at 1 AM? 😑

6. Streaming services, websites, apps often have some stupid intro animation that achieves nothing but wasting my attention. I don’t want you to look fancy and shiny with bells. I want you to open and the UI to function well. Why waste so much time and money?

7. Started dating someone seriously just to get ghosted for a week. Starting to seriously doubt that they’ll show up for our date on Saturday…

8. If restaurants are going to bring your food out on big ass trays they should make sure the tables aren’t already full of condiments, utensils, cups, survey papers, advertisements, menu stands, tablets w/charging station etc.

   Or, you know, have bigger tables.

9. Open coolers only make the store cold

   Closed coolers are never set to be cold enough

   What’s a guy gotta do to get an ice cold drink on a warm day besides spending 100 yen on a cup of ice

10. Why can’t young people walk in groups anymore? Always walking  in 3 or 4 people abreast taking up the whole path or road. Don’t they know that they can walk behind or front of their friends for a bit to let other people pass? I can see the malfunction in their heads and hesitation in their faces as I walk towards them going in the opposite direction. Do they think I can magically float over the shrubs along the side of the road so they so they don’t have to move?

11. People who walk their dogs in the wee hours of the morning are too darn oblivious to their surroundings! I have to drive super careful around people with their little yapper dogs while trying to do my job.

    My senpai is sick. I’m guessing a heart attack due to their symptoms but they won’t say and are in the hospital for, who knows how long.

    This sucks but they’re a good senpai and I enjoy working with them.

    It also sucks because that means I have to be responsible for the work vehicles and routes and I don’t want responsibilities! I like there being someone else to take the blame if something goes wrong. So I gotta pay a lot more attention to the vehicles maintenance AND I have to show up to work early unpaid because if I don’t, I’ll be stuck at work super late since I gotta deal with my stuff.

12. White dude at the Shibuya Hub yesterday got the cops called on him after raising his fist to various people and then refusing to leave. 

    Actually considered it a positive thing though, thinking about how rarely I’ve seen anything like that over the years compared to so many good experiences in public spaces 

13. 1 Japan, the world of delicate flower arrangement, the way they wrap your gift, the tea ceremony AND the men clearing their throats as loudly as they can. Disgusting.

    2 The Office cleaning. The high schools making their students cleaning the classrooms, I can get that. But in a company, when the employees are already giving 9 to 12 hours a day to the business, why the fuck should they on top of that, clean the toilets and empty the trashes on non-paid time? Unacceptable exploitation.

    3 This fake Tai Chi commercial on YouTube, with a ripped Asian Dude going “You think it’s gym? No, it is tai chi body!” How can people go for this AI shit?

14. Everyday I wish japan had better potato chip flavors. Nori, wasabi, consomme, and salt is just abt all they got along with some weird limited flavor that never sells and none of them are good enough to excuse the unhealthiness of it. I remember in the spring there was a limited edition yuzu flavor that ALMOST tasted a bit like lemom-lime lays. Within a months time i ate every yuzu flavored potato chip within a 2 km radius to extinction. Now every time i go to the conbini hoping something similar has arrived but instead japan opts for 5 brands making the same 5 flavors.

15. It starting raining heavily just before I left for work, had to walk the long way around so my legs and feet got soaked. It stopped a few minutes after arriving. Now I’m sitting at my desk with damp trousers and wet socks and shoes lol
