The Whining and Bitching Thread

Okay, so my roommate is a traveling engineer for lack of a better term and he's currently in north bumfuck Alberta province until next Wednesday (If you're in Canada, he's at the oil sands up there).

I text him today to make sure he's doing alright and he says he's fine. All is well in the world.

Fast forward to 2 hours later and I get a text:

Him: Could you do me a favor and get two spare keys made to the apartment?
Me: Sure, no problem. A spare one for me?
Him: Three, then. Two for the both of us and one for Jackie so she can do laundry

1) Why can't she do laundry on her own?
2) Seriously?

Me: Okay, I'll get 4 made (one for my parents in case they need to check on something while he and I are not there) but when you get back we're going to talk about this.

What the fuck? How inconsiderate do you have to be to not ask my opinion about this? He and I barely know her (in fact, I barely know him but he's a decent guy and somewhat trustworthy so it's working out so far) so what makes him think I'm going to be okay with someone I barely know having unfettered access to my apartment when there are no locks on the bedroom doors? He is minimalistic and doesn't have many possessions (probably because he travels so much and can't really enjoy them like he wants to) but I have everything I own in this apartment and I'll be fucking goddamned if I give what amounts to a stranger access to all of that.

First it's laundry, then it's something else. How far is he willing to let it escalate? Once something gets stolen? Once I come home from work one day and she's here eating my food and sitting on my furniture without even telling me she's going to drop by?

My roommate went through a nasty divorce about 8 months ago and he's kinda given fuck all about anything since then. This girl is playing mind games with him. I did trust her when I first met her, but now I'm getting a bad vibe from her. She was living with her boyfriend and then he moved back to Tennessee so I don't even know if they are together anymore. I don't want to ask since that's really awkward.

He's looking for satisfaction and she wants to see how far he'll go for her.

Did he not put himself in my shoes? Why did he think it was going to be 'okay' for her to have such free access?

Next Wednesday is going to be loads of fun.
 
Long story short, gonna be mega hungover for a wedding I gotta bridesmaid in tomorrow and didn't wanna be a bridesmaid in the first place.
 
So I was supposed to go to my cottage with my girlfriend but the heating system there fucked up. Well, to be correct, my cousin was there last weekend and forgot to turn the water pump on so the heater blew up. This is my only free weekend in like 3 months and I was really looking forward to spending it there just the two of us. But no. Fuck this shit.

Yesterday I had fucking 13 beers or so and now I'm just lying in bed.
 
Most weddings are fucking awful.

They're even worse than funerals. And funerals are fucking tedious. A relative of my neighbour died the other day, and the family is all Greek Cypriot and everyone was in black and there was some wailing and Jesus fucking Christ.
 
Dude asked me to cover his shift literally 15 hours before his shift would've began. Messages me at 10:00pm last night, when a, I have plans with my superintendent today, and b, 10 is when I was thinking of going to sleep. I ended up sleeping in until 2:30, now I gotta meet my superintendent so fuck him.

Everybody asks me to cover their shifts when I have important plans, plans more important than theirs (I think making sure I don't get mistakenly evicted is more important than a silly acting class). Fuck them.
 
Why does that piss you off so much? They are just asking for a shiftcover. It's a simple yes-or-no deal.
 
Its not really a piss-off, more of a slight annoyance, but people only seem to ask me to cover after I've made important plans for that day; and they only ask me about half a day before the shift. Kinda short notice, no?
 
It's probably gonna be a pretty damn good FPS/MOBA hybrid tbh. I have absolutely no interest in that, but Blizzard don't half-ass things.
 
"Overwatch" is a terrible name for a game, as it only references one particular aspect, or function within a squad, or may be the whole squad/multiple squads. The idea is that you pretty much aren't in the action unless necessary. May as well make a squad based fps called "Sniper" or "Engineer" etc. And I'm going to need to figure something else out for a handle here so as not to be associated with that. And btw, Blizzard products are generally crap. A mere general lack of bugs is not the only standard for judging a publisher or game.

Blizzard arguably made the best RTS, RPG and MMO of recent times. And DOTA spawned into something else entirely. Not sure there is any gaming company out there that can compare their credentials to Blizzard at all.
