As per every Thursday morning—this week’s complaint thread! Time to get anything off your chest that’s been bugging you or pissed you off.
​
Rules are simple—you can complain/moan/winge about anything you like, small or big. It can be a personal issue or a general thing, except politics. It’s all about getting it off your chest. Remain civil and be nice to other commenters (even try to help).

Migraine…again…medicine barely taking the edge off of it.
Tuesday, took the LMS server off line for a 30-second maintenance update. Updated. Forgot to put it back on line, and didn’t notice until Wednesday morning.
I’m getting tired of people making “rules” up on the spot: postal workers in one office telling me that I can’t send something or that I need additional documents, and then accepting the exact same package without blinking an eye in another one is one example.
Another one happened this week when I went to pick up my Myna card. I get to city hall, start the procedure, show my driver’s license to confirm my identity, everything is going smoothly… NOT! After taking a copy of my driver’s license, the lady suddenly asks me *”do you have your zairyu card?”* I say I do, but make no move, so she asks to see it. I ask why, she says it’s too confirm my identity. I tell her she just did that with my driver’s license, and I get the answer of *”eeeeetooooo, yes, but we ask foreigners to show their zairyu cards”*. I tell her I’m not going to do that, she goes in the back for a while, comes back, **and we go through the rest of the procedure without any issues**. Turns out you didn’t need my zairyu card after all, innit?
Pisses me off when it have to jump through extra unnecessary hoops just because I don’t look Japanese. Sigh, rant over.
