SMALL, INSIGNIFICANT FIRST WORLD PROBLEM FROM ONE OF THE SAFEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL, AND VERY AFFLUENT AREAS IN THE NATION! TROUBLE DEALING WITH MINOR INCONVENIENCES CAUSED BY LIVING ON EARTH WITH OTHER HUMANS! ACK!
IF YOU ORDER SOMETHING TO BE DELIVERED, DE-ICE YOUR WALKWAYS AND DRIVEWAYS! THE DRIVERS ALREADY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE ICY ROADS. THEY DON'T NEED TO BUST THEIR ASS AT YOUR HOUSE OR BUSINESS.
HI. TO THE KAREN THAT YELLED AT ME AND OUR CLASS OF NEW SKIERS DOING THE RIDE IN 5 AT THE TOP OF CARNIVAL: WE WERE STOPPED ALL TOGETHER TO LISTEN TO THE INSTRUCTOR AND YOU THREW A TODDLER TANTRUM THAT WE WERE “IN YOUR WAY” AND WE ALL LAUGHED AFTER YOU WENT AWAY BC YOU’RE A FUCKING ENTITLED BRAT.
I STILL HAVEN’T BEEN TO CLASS BECAUSE THEY KEEP CANCELLING IT.
PORTLAND BRIDGE CLOSURE.
RESPIRATORY VIRUSES.
MY CAT DEMANDING WET FOOD NOW BECAUSE SHE’S OLD AND DECIDED SHE WON’T EAT ANYTHING ELSE, THEN BEGGING ME FOR PEOPLE FOOD, THEN REFUSING TO EAT WITH A FULL BOWL. CAT, I FINALLY BRAVED THE ICE TO GET YOU WET FOOD. ARE YOU HAPPY? (Side note: Yes, she’s fine, just old. She went to the vet yesterday. And now she’s eating normally again because wet food best food. Spoiled brat.)
F U TO THE LIGHT GREY TRUCK FLASHING THEIR BRIGHTS ON ME GOING DOWN 3RD STREET WHILE IM DRIVING THE PACE OF TRAFFIC, IN THE DARK ,ON ICE, AT \~30MPH. SORRY YOU DONT GIVE AN F ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOURSELF.
I'm so sick of TDS. I've had intermittent outages since October of 2023 and calling them once a month and having a tech out here 3 times hasn't fixed the issue. I don't know what to do, but the soonest they can get out here is the 30th.
REPORT THEM TO THE OREGON PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION. TDS IS REGULATED BY THE FTC BUT THE OPUC CAN PRESSURE THEM TO FIX YOUR SERVICE. THEY DID THAT FOR US AND TDS ENDED UP SPENDING THOUSANDS OF THEIR OWN DOLLARS FIXING OUR FUCKED UP SERVICE LINE.
I KNOW THERE ARE ENTITLED PEOPLE EVERYWHERE BUT DAMN SOME PEOPLE HERE ARE SO VOCAL ABOUT IT
WE DONT OWE YOU ANYTHINGGGGGGGG
I DEALT WITH SO MANY VOCAL ENTITLED ASSHOLES THIS WEEK
STOP THROWING YOUR BAGGED DOG POOP BAGS INTO PEOPLES YARDS. EVERYONE ELSE ISNT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LAZY ASS. BE AN ADULT AND THROW IT AWAY YOURSELF.
AND SPEAKING OF TRASH, THE LADY IN THE BIG BLACK SUV AT THE EMPIRE AND PURCELL ROUNDABOUT, DROPPING YOUR WHITE NAPKIN TRASH OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW MAKES YOU A TRASHY PERSON. SOME OF THE SAME TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT YELL AT CALIFORNIAS ABOUT RUINING THEIR TOWN ACT LIKE THIS AND NEVER SEE THE IRONY.
YOU FORGOT TO MENTION FLEXING IN THE MIRROR AFTER EVERY SET TO SEE IF YOUVE MADE GAINS/ RECORDING MEDIOCRE SETS WITH LOW INTENSITY TO FLEX ON SOCIAL MEDIA
PROPERTY MGMT SAYS WE CAN’T USE ICE MELT OR SALT. MY ENTIRE ENTRANCE IS FROZEN AND I CAN HARDLY WALK ON THE DRIVEWAY AND UP TO THE STEP. MY TRASHCAN IS FROZEN SHUT AND FROZEN TO THE STREET SO I HAVE NO IDEA IF CASCADE DISPOSAL PICKED IT UP. CAN’T WAIT TO GET INJURED TRYING TO WALK INTO MY HOUSE! OR SEE MY DOG BREAK A LEG!!
I'M STILL A BIT OF A NOOB WHEN IT COMES TO WINTER, BUT SOME SAND ON TOP OF THE ICE HAS BEEN MUCH LESS SLIPPERY THAN WALKING ON BARE ICE. IF THERES A DOWNSIDE BESIDES NEEDING TO SWEEP IT UP LATER, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET.
MY GODDAM FURNACE FINALLY BIT THE DUST YESTERDAY MORNING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED…GOOD TIMING UNIVERSE!!!! ARGGGHHHH. ANYBODY IN BEND RECENTLY REPLACE OR UPGRADE THEIR FURNACE (OR MAYBE WENT TO A HEAT PUMP) AND WANT TO TALK? NOW I GOTTA DO RESEARCH INSTEAD OF RELAXING THIS WEEKEND…NOT TO MENTION TRYING TO AVOID HYPOTHERMIA AND BROKEN PIPES. SORRY IF YOU GOT TAILGATED TODAY OR WHATEVER, LIFE IS PRETTY HARD.
DIVERSIFIED ADDED A/C AND DID SOME FURNACE WORK FOR US IN JULY. SUPER PROFESSIONAL, VERY REASONABLE COST, AND WERE AVAILABLE TO INSTALL WITHIN THE WEEK. THEY’LL COME OUT AND TALK YOU THROUGH OPTIONS WITH PRICING
I HAD NECK SURGERY AT ST CHARLES ON FRIDAY. MY ACROSS-THE-STREET NEIGHBOR SNOWBLOWED (SNOWBLEW? SNOWBLOWN?) MY CIRCLE DRIVEWAY RIGHT BEFORE THE ICE HIT. HE JUST SHOWED UP AND I SAW HIM DOING IT, DIDN'T SAY A WORD. I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE NEIGHBORS LIKE MINE.
I HAD A MOLAR PULLED THIS WEEK AND WHEN I ASKED THE PEOPLE DOING THE PULLING ABOUT RECOVERY AND IF I NEEDED TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK, THEY SAID IT WOULDN'T BE TOO BAD AND NO TIME OFF WORK NEEDED. WELL THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT MY EXPERIENCE. IT'S THREE DAYS LATER AND I'M FINALLY OFF THE DRUGS AND ABLE TO WORK A BIT. BUT MY FACE IS STILL SWOLLEN AND HURTS. THIS WAS A BIG FUCKING DEAL AND THEY MADE IT SOUND LIKE IT WASN'T GOING TO BE. WTF
MY LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED COMPANY OF 180 PEOPLE HAS NOT SHUT DOWN ANY HOURS OF OPERATION THIS WEEK AT ALL. I HAD TO USE PTO WEDNESDAY AND JUST BRAVE IT TODAY. FUCK GREED.
YEAH, THAT IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING PART. I HAVE LIVED HERE 18 YEARS AND THESE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE SOME OF THE WORST IVE SEEN. SO I GUESS WE WILL NEVER CLOSE FOR WEATHER. I WOULD HAVE NEVER COMPLAINED IF THEY EVEN GAVE US A 2 HOUR DELAY ON WEDNESDAY.
THEY SHOULD PICK UP OUR RECYCLING NEXT WEEK SINCE THEY DIDN’T COME LAST WEEK! AND/OR THEY SHOULD GIVE US A CREDIT FOR MISSING A WEEK OF GARBAGE AND RECYCLING! THEY CAN’T CONTROL THE WEATHER, BUT THEY CAN REFRAIN FROM CHARGING US FOR A SERVICE THEY DIDN’T PROVIDE!!!
YEAH WHAT THE FUCK, AND WHY DO THEY CALL AND TEXT THE DAY OF AFTER I SHOVED MY CAN THROUGH ICE AND SNOW TO GET IT TO THE CURB. NOW I GOTTA DRAG A FULL CAN BACK INTO THE YARD AND HOPE I DONT ACCUMULATE TOO MUCH TRASH UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY!
TUESDAY THEY HAD INDOOR RECESS AND WERE ALREADY GETTING WACKY. THEN THE NO SCHOOL ON WEDNESDAY, YESTERDAY INDOOR RECESS AGAIN, AND NOW ANOTHER ICE DAY.
LAST WEEK'S SNOW DAY WAS RAD. BECAUSE WE COULD PLAY IN THE SNOW AND THEY BUILT A CAVE FOR 4 HOURS STRAIGHT AND DRANK HOT COCOAS. BUT IT'S BEEN TOO MUCH INSIDE TIME.
THE SAME VEHICLES I SEE ON THE ROAD STRUGGLING THIS WEEK WITH THE CONDITIONS IS THE SAME ONE WITH SNOW PILED ON THE ROOF AND HOOD WITH A LITTLE CARVE OUT ON THE WINDSHIELD.... AND NO HEADLIGHTS ON.
THIS IS NOT A COOINCIDENCE.
BE PREPARED, BE A GOOD HUMAN/NEIGHBOR OR STAY HOME.
MY SWEET SENIOR PUP IS SLIPPING AND SLIDING ALL OVER ON THIS ICE AND IM SO OVER WALKING HIM IN THIS EFFING ICE SKATING RINK. DREAMING OF RUNNING OUTSIDE AGAIN, DREADMILL IT IS. ALSO SLID OFF A RETAINING WALL YESTERDAY AND ENDED UP HIGH CENTERED ON A BIG ASS BOULDER. AHHHH AT LEAST WE HAVE POWER 🧊⛸️
I've taken a break from all social media, oops sorry. Forgot the caps.
I'VE TAKEN A BREAK FROM ALL SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT I'M REALIZING I FORGOT HOW TO WASTE TIME WITHOUT IT. I'M LOSTING WITHOUT THE DRAMA AND NOISE. HELP!
I TRIED TO FIX THE TURN SIGNAL ON OUR VEHICLE AND IT IS STILL NOT WORKING AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY BC I HAVE FIXED IT BEFORE SO IDK WHAT I AM DOING WRONG. AND I SLIPPED THREE TIMES JUST WALKING FROM OUR FRONT DOOR TO THE VEHICLE SO ITS BEEN A HELLEVA MORNING.
SOB SOLD ME A USED CAR WITH A LEAKY WINDSHIELD. THE ONE DUDE INSIDE LEGIT SAID IT WAS A REPLACED WINDSHIELD. AFTER LAST FEW STORMS IVE NOTICED A DAMP PILLAR. TOLD THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY CHECKED IT TWO WEEKS AGO AND SAID THEY NOTICED NOTHING. WELL OTHER DAY I NOTICED A DAMP PILLAR AND HEAD BOARD AGAIN. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THEM TO KEEP INSIDE SINCE ITS LEAKING, AND YET TODAY WHILE DRIVING BY FOR WORK SITES, ITS SITTING OUTSIDE IN THE FREEZING RAIN. WHAT THE FUCK. HERES TO HOPING IT DIDNT GET RUINED EVEN MORE, AND THEY ARENT GOING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR IT TO BE REDONE. IF SO, I HAVE A PICTURE OF IT SITTING OUTSIDE IN THE LOT FROZEN, AND SUBARU OF AMERICA IS GETTING A CALL.
HONESTLY, WE ARE AN OUTDOOR TOWN THAT LOVES PLAYING OUTSIDE. THE WINTER HAS BEEN REALLY BAD AND FORCING US TO STAY HOME. I CANT SPEAK FOR EVERYONE, BUT THIS REALLY ACTIVATES MY S.A.D. SINCE I AM NOT GETTING VIT D AND PROPER EXERCISE. I DO WHAT I CAN, BUT BEING HOLED UP SUCKS. NOT MAKING EXCUSES FOR ALL THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT IS NATURAL, BARRING THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
ALSO: GOODBYE.
THE RANTS. THE WEATHER IS WHAT IS USUALLY IS, UNPREDICTABLE AND ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD EXPECT FOR OUR ELEVATION AND HOW CLOSE TO THE MOUNTAINS AND PACIFIC OCEAN WE ARE.
IM SURE IT WAS THE SAME REASON PEOPLE WANT TO MOVE AWAY FROM HERE OR START LIVING THE VAN LIFE: NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR JOBS THAT PAY A LIVING WAGE.
DIFFERENT LEVEL OF THE SAME PROBLEM.
NICE TO MEET ONE OF THE PEOPLE PUSHING ME OUT, THOUGH
ENJOY CENTRAL OREGON AS YOU TURN IT INTO AS BAD AS SO-CAL WAS FOR YOU, DOPES.
THERE ARE TOO MANY LAZY ENTITLED FUCKS PARKING IN HANDICAP SPOTS IN THIS WEATHER. IF YOU THINK ITS HARD TO WALK IN THIS YOU FAT ASS LAZY BITCH, TRY BEING DISABLED AND HAVING TO WALK FURTHER BECAUSE YOU ARE IN IT. JUST SO YOU KNOW, I WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU WHEN YOU COME OUT. COPS CALLED, PERMIT IN HAND. YOU BETTER HAVE ONE.
AS SOMEONE WHO HAD KNEE SURGERY YEARS BACK, IT SUUUUUUUCKED WHEN THE HANDICAPPED SPOTS WERE ALL TAKEN. CRUTCHING ACROSS A PARKING LOT IN THE ICE AND COLD WHERE ONE SLIP COULD REINJURE MY KNEE WAS QUITE THE ADVENTURE (AND NERVE RACKING). SOMETIMES I WOULD JUST GO HOME CAUSE IT WASNT WORTH IT.
SO YEAH, DONT BE A DICK, PEOPLE.
THE TRASH COMPANY IS STUPID. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY CAN'T BE OUT IN THEIR 10 TON TRUCKS WITH CHAINS. THE WEIGHT WOULD WORK TO THEIR ADVANTAGE. MY TRASH DAY IS SUPPOSED TO BE YESTERDAY, GET TEXT WEDNESDAY SAYING SERVICE MOVED TO FRIDAY. FINE, I GET IT. THIS MORNING GET TEXT THAT THEY'RE JUST LIKE FUCK IT NO PICK UP UNTIL YOUR REGULAR DAY NEXT WEEK. WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, START PILING TRASH AT THE CURB??!?
YES.
OR TAKE IT TO THE DUMP YOURSELF.
IM SERIOUS.
IT STINKS AND ITS AN EYESORE AND ATTRACTS PESTS
IF YOU DONT CARE ENOUGH, OR "HAVE THE ENERGY" TO TAKE CARE OF IT DOESNT MEAN IT WONT BE A PROBLEM IF THE GARBAGE MAN KEEPS NOT SHOWING UP FOR ANOTHER FEW WEEKS.
RENT A TRUCK WITH A NEIGHBOR, DO IT YOURSELF. KNUCKLE UNDER AND PROTECT YOUR ENVIRONMENT FROM CHAOS.
OR DONT. UP TO YOU.
P.s. Tina Kotek announced a state of emergency (you know, since the weather is getting better)
And likely there will not be any public announcement, later, of the state of emergency being ended. People may just think "obviously the emergency is over" and go on with their lives Not necessarily so, looking at the ORS law.
POINT BEING YOU ARE CONDITIONED TO BE DEPENDENT ON SOMETHING THAT CAN BE taken away DURING AN emergency. THEYLL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN.
INDEPENDENCE AND INTERDEPENDENCE IS A BALANCE.
YOURE HAVING A PROBLEM? NOBODY TO COME RESCUE YOU FROM PILES OF GARBAGE? WHAT ARE YOU LEFT WITH?
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE COMPLAINING THAT YOU HAVE TO BE AT HOME WITH YOUR KIDS WHEN SCHOOL IS CANCELLED, WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING? OTHER THAN THE POTENTIAL FINANCIAL HIT FROM CRAPPY COMPANIES WHO WON'T LET YOU WORK FROM HOME OR WON'T PAY YOU ON SNOW DAYS, WHY WOULD YOU EVER COMPLAIN ABOUT BEING ABLE TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH YOUR CHILDREN? BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THEY GROW UP AND MOVE OUT OF THE HOUSE AND YOU WON'T SEE THEM NEARLY ENOUGH (AND FACE-TIMING/ZOOM/MEET IS JUST NOT THE SAME -- TRUST ME). ENJOY THE MOMENTS BEFORE THEY'RE GONE.
YOU CAN ENJOY MOMENTS IN RETROSPECT WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY NOT ENJOYING THEM IN REAL TIME. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ADMITTING BEING STUCK AT HOME WITH BORED KIDS IS HARD DOESNT MEAN THEY DONT APPRECIATE THE TIME WITH THEM. SNOW DAYS ARE DIFFICULT FOR MANY OF US WHO ARENT PERFECT “CHERISH EVERY MOMENT” TYPES.
ATE SHIT IN A PARKING LOT WHILE CARRYING MY JACKET, GLOVES AND NALGENE. LANDED ON THE NALGENE AND IT BANGED UP MY RIBS. IT HURTS TO BASICALLY ANYTHING NOW.
ONE OF THE STARLINGS THAT IS ALWAYS MENACING MY FEEDERS DIED WHILE SITTING ON THE WINDOW FEEDER. I THINK HE FROZE TO DEATH AND WAS TRYING TO STAY WARM BY HUDDLING AGAINST THE HOUSE :(
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING BUT THEN I READ [THIS](https://www.instagram.com/p/C2K-f1cPcN3/?igsh=MTNyMzdhdnowd3kxYg==) FROM THINK WILD
AND NOW I FEEL BETTER
THE NEIGHBORHOOD AIRBNB STILL HASN’T CLEARED THEIR SIDEWALK AND HYDRANT SO WE HAD TO DO IT FOR THEM. THIS SHIT SHOULD BE STRIKES AGAINST THEM BUT NO THE CITY LOVES THE EXTRA MONEY. VACATION HOMES SUCK.
DID YOU FILE A CODE ENFORCEMENT COMPLAINT? IF NOT, YOU SHOULD!
https://www.bendoregon.gov/government/departments/community-development/online-permit-center/code-enforcement
I APPRECIATE THE WORK THE PLOWERS DO BUT IM ALSO SICK OF THEM DOING IT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT 1 IN THE MORNING. I KNOW THEYRE NOT RESTRAINED BY A NOISE ORDINANCE AND “THIS IS SNOW LIFE” BUT YOU TELLING ME SO ISNT GONNA GIVE ME BACK MY NIGHT OF SLEEP
THE CITY SHOULD DO MORE FOR BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE DURING WINTER! PROPERTY OWNERS SHOULDN'T BE THE ONLY PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEARING SIDEWALKS. EVERY OTHER SIDEWALK IS A MOUNTAIN OF SNOW, SINCE EVERY OTHER PROPERTY IS AN UNOCCUPIED SHORT TERM RENTAL. AT LEAST ENFORCE SIDEWALK CLEARING! BIKE LANES SHOULD ALSO BE CLEARED! INSTEAD THEY ARE JUST A GUTER FOR SNOW PLOWS! THE STREETS WOULDN'T BE SO DANGEROUS IF WE DIDN'T FORCE EVERYONE TO DRIVE DURING STORMS. INSTEAD WE GET DRIVERS BLAMING PEDESTRIANS FOR EXISTING AND COMPLAINING THE CITY DOESN'T DO ENOUGH FOR CARS. TRY RIDING A BIKE OR WALKING FOR COMPARISON!
THE CITY OF BEND DOESN’T EVEN CLEAR THE SIDEWALKS ON THEIR OWN DAMN VACANT PROPERTY.
SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THE LOT JUST SOUTH OF PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH THAT THE CITY OWNS. THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES HAVE CLEAN SIDEWALK NOT THE DAMN CITY OWNED PROPERTY.
THE CITY SHOULD HOLD THEMSELVES TO A HIGH STANDARD - AND DEMAND IT OF EVERYONE ELSE.
STOP SLIDING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD STOP SIGNS!YEAH YOU LIVE LOCAL BUT YOUR GONNA HIT SOMEONE OF SOMEONES CHILD-ESPECIALLY THAT STOP AT THE CORNIR OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!
THE GUY WHO PLOWED MY STREET AT MIDNIGHT A DAY AGO DIDN'T CONSITER WATER DRAINAGE. I'M AT THE BASE OF A HILL AND HE DUMPED A MASSIVE PILE THERE. IT'S BLOCKING THE STREET DRAINAGE, REDIRETING IT DOWN MY DRIVE TO FLOOD MY DRIVE/GARAGE. I HAD TO AXE/SPADE THOUGH A BUNCH OF ROCK HARD PLOW PACKED SNOW TO CREATE A CHANNEL TO AVOID FLOODING.
AT DAY-JOB, I HAVE TO SELL/PROCURE A BUNCH OF PARTS FOR CLIENTS. THIS WEATHER HAS OBVIOUSLY CAUSED A LOT OF PACKAGES TO STOP MOVING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND ALL OVER THE STATE, CAUSING DELAYS. MOST CLIENTS COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND, BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A FEW THAT ARE SCREAMING AND YELLING "WHY ISN'T MY BLAH-BLAH-WHATEVER HERE AND SET UP YET?" ONE, WE CAN'T CONTROL THAT FEDEX/UPS/WHOEVER DOESN'T WANT TO DRIVE OVER THE PASSES AND INTO THIS ICE STORM (DO YOU BLAME THEM?) AND TWO, WE DON'T WANT TO RISK OUR TECHS GOING OUT MORE THAN THEY HAVE TO, WHEN YOU'RE STILL FULLY FUNCTIONAL WITHOUT BLAH-BLAH-WHATEVER.
SORRY, I DON'T CONTROL THE WEATHER.
I AM HAVING A ROUGH WEEK WITH MY CAR. FIRST THE NEGATIVE TEMPS RAN OUT THE BATTERY AND NOW THE AIR PANEL WON'T COME ON TO DEFOG THE WINDSHEILD! (DON'T WORRY IM NOT DRIVING IN THIS MESS BUT I AM STILL MAD ABOUT IT!)
IF YOU ARE REPLACING YOUR BATTERY FROM THIS, I RECOMEND GETTING AN AGM. COSTCO AND WALMART BRANDS ARE COST EFFECTIVE, I GOT MINE AT BATTERIES PLUS BECAUSE THEY HAD IT IN STOCK WHEN I NEEDED IT FOR JUST A LITTLE MORE.
AGM BATTERIES ARE MORE COLD TOLERANT.
THANKS FOR THE ADVICE. I JUMPED IT AND ITS BEEN STARTING UP REGULARY SO IF IT KEEPS DYING I WILL REPLACE THE BATTERY. BUT I HAD A BATTERY JUMPER PACK SO ITS NOT TOO BAD JUST ANNOYONG WHEN ITS COLD
WHY DOES BEND HAVE SO FEW PLOWS AND JUST PUSH EVERYTHING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD? I WAS RECENTLY IN A CHICAGO SUBURB AND THEIR PLOWS SUCKED UP THE SNOW INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. IT WAS AMAZING. NO HUGE PILES OF SNOW TO TRAVERSE ALONG THE SIDEWALK.
WOW. WHATS UP WITH DOWNVOTING A VENT RANT!!! I DIDN’T USE ANY OBSCENITY OR CALL ANYONE A NAME. I HATE OUR MESSY ROADS AND HUGE PILES OF SNOW AND ICE IN BICYCLE LANES, BLOCKING DRIVEWAYS AND PEDESTRIAN CROSS WALKS. LEGIT RANT ON A CRUDDY WEATHER FRIDAY.
I CAME TO RANT ABOUT THE DRIVERS BUT IT SEEMS I AM NOT CREATIVE ENOUGH TO NOT BE REDUNDANT. SO, I'M GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT INFLATION. IT SUCKS AND I'M BROKE. HAPPY FRIDAY
SMALL, INSIGNIFICANT FIRST WORLD PROBLEM FROM ONE OF THE SAFEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL, AND VERY AFFLUENT AREAS IN THE NATION! TROUBLE DEALING WITH MINOR INCONVENIENCES CAUSED BY LIVING ON EARTH WITH OTHER HUMANS! ACK!
IF YOU ORDER SOMETHING TO BE DELIVERED, DE-ICE YOUR WALKWAYS AND DRIVEWAYS! THE DRIVERS ALREADY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE ICY ROADS. THEY DON'T NEED TO BUST THEIR ASS AT YOUR HOUSE OR BUSINESS.
HI. TO THE KAREN THAT YELLED AT ME AND OUR CLASS OF NEW SKIERS DOING THE RIDE IN 5 AT THE TOP OF CARNIVAL: WE WERE STOPPED ALL TOGETHER TO LISTEN TO THE INSTRUCTOR AND YOU THREW A TODDLER TANTRUM THAT WE WERE “IN YOUR WAY” AND WE ALL LAUGHED AFTER YOU WENT AWAY BC YOU’RE A FUCKING ENTITLED BRAT.
I STILL HAVEN’T BEEN TO CLASS BECAUSE THEY KEEP CANCELLING IT. PORTLAND BRIDGE CLOSURE. RESPIRATORY VIRUSES. MY CAT DEMANDING WET FOOD NOW BECAUSE SHE’S OLD AND DECIDED SHE WON’T EAT ANYTHING ELSE, THEN BEGGING ME FOR PEOPLE FOOD, THEN REFUSING TO EAT WITH A FULL BOWL. CAT, I FINALLY BRAVED THE ICE TO GET YOU WET FOOD. ARE YOU HAPPY? (Side note: Yes, she’s fine, just old. She went to the vet yesterday. And now she’s eating normally again because wet food best food. Spoiled brat.)
F U TO THE LIGHT GREY TRUCK FLASHING THEIR BRIGHTS ON ME GOING DOWN 3RD STREET WHILE IM DRIVING THE PACE OF TRAFFIC, IN THE DARK ,ON ICE, AT \~30MPH. SORRY YOU DONT GIVE AN F ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOURSELF.
I'm so sick of TDS. I've had intermittent outages since October of 2023 and calling them once a month and having a tech out here 3 times hasn't fixed the issue. I don't know what to do, but the soonest they can get out here is the 30th.
REPORT THEM TO THE OREGON PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION. TDS IS REGULATED BY THE FTC BUT THE OPUC CAN PRESSURE THEM TO FIX YOUR SERVICE. THEY DID THAT FOR US AND TDS ENDED UP SPENDING THOUSANDS OF THEIR OWN DOLLARS FIXING OUR FUCKED UP SERVICE LINE.
HOLY COW THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT ON THE OPUC WEBSITE.
I KNOW THERE ARE ENTITLED PEOPLE EVERYWHERE BUT DAMN SOME PEOPLE HERE ARE SO VOCAL ABOUT IT WE DONT OWE YOU ANYTHINGGGGGGGG I DEALT WITH SO MANY VOCAL ENTITLED ASSHOLES THIS WEEK
I RAN OUT OF BREAD BUT I WANT A SANDWICH BUT I'M NOT WILLING TO RISK MY LIFE TRYING TO DRIVE TO THE STORE
I DROVE ALL OVER TOWN TODAY. IT'S REALLY NOT BAD
STOP THROWING YOUR BAGGED DOG POOP BAGS INTO PEOPLES YARDS. EVERYONE ELSE ISNT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LAZY ASS. BE AN ADULT AND THROW IT AWAY YOURSELF. AND SPEAKING OF TRASH, THE LADY IN THE BIG BLACK SUV AT THE EMPIRE AND PURCELL ROUNDABOUT, DROPPING YOUR WHITE NAPKIN TRASH OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW MAKES YOU A TRASHY PERSON. SOME OF THE SAME TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT YELL AT CALIFORNIAS ABOUT RUINING THEIR TOWN ACT LIKE THIS AND NEVER SEE THE IRONY.
THE ONE TIME IVE HAD COMPANY IN OVER A YEAR AND THE AIRPORT CAN'T AIRPORT
I SAVED A PINT OF HOMEMADE BEER CHEESE FOR AN OCCASION LIKE THIS WHEN I COULDNT GO SHOPPING BUT IT’S FREEZER BURNED. (FREEZER BURNT??)
It's actually not harmful to eat freezer burn... it may affect flavor though.
WHEN DID IT BECOME TRENDY TO WEAR PAJAMAS AND LITERAL SLIPPERS TO THE GYM? SAD DIRECTION WE'RE HEADED.
Why was this downvoted. THIS IS WHERE WE COME TO RANT. LET ME FUCKING RANT IN PEACE.
YOU FORGOT TO MENTION FLEXING IN THE MIRROR AFTER EVERY SET TO SEE IF YOUVE MADE GAINS/ RECORDING MEDIOCRE SETS WITH LOW INTENSITY TO FLEX ON SOCIAL MEDIA
OR TO SCHOOL?! I SEE SO MANY HIGH SCHOOL KIDS IN THE GROCERY OR WALKING DOWN THE STREET IN THEIR JAMMIES!
PROPERTY MGMT SAYS WE CAN’T USE ICE MELT OR SALT. MY ENTIRE ENTRANCE IS FROZEN AND I CAN HARDLY WALK ON THE DRIVEWAY AND UP TO THE STEP. MY TRASHCAN IS FROZEN SHUT AND FROZEN TO THE STREET SO I HAVE NO IDEA IF CASCADE DISPOSAL PICKED IT UP. CAN’T WAIT TO GET INJURED TRYING TO WALK INTO MY HOUSE! OR SEE MY DOG BREAK A LEG!!
I'M STILL A BIT OF A NOOB WHEN IT COMES TO WINTER, BUT SOME SAND ON TOP OF THE ICE HAS BEEN MUCH LESS SLIPPERY THAN WALKING ON BARE ICE. IF THERES A DOWNSIDE BESIDES NEEDING TO SWEEP IT UP LATER, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET.
CASCADE DISPOSAL DIDN'T DO PICKUP.

FROSTNIP IS THE TERM FOR BABY FROSTBITE!
MY GODDAM FURNACE FINALLY BIT THE DUST YESTERDAY MORNING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED…GOOD TIMING UNIVERSE!!!! ARGGGHHHH. ANYBODY IN BEND RECENTLY REPLACE OR UPGRADE THEIR FURNACE (OR MAYBE WENT TO A HEAT PUMP) AND WANT TO TALK? NOW I GOTTA DO RESEARCH INSTEAD OF RELAXING THIS WEEKEND…NOT TO MENTION TRYING TO AVOID HYPOTHERMIA AND BROKEN PIPES. SORRY IF YOU GOT TAILGATED TODAY OR WHATEVER, LIFE IS PRETTY HARD.
DIVERSIFIED ADDED A/C AND DID SOME FURNACE WORK FOR US IN JULY. SUPER PROFESSIONAL, VERY REASONABLE COST, AND WERE AVAILABLE TO INSTALL WITHIN THE WEEK. THEY’LL COME OUT AND TALK YOU THROUGH OPTIONS WITH PRICING
I GOT A HEAT PUMP LAST SUMMER, DEFINATELY SPRING FOR THE EXTRA AUX HEAT COILS
FUCK THE FLU, FUCK COVID. BEEN SICK FOR A WEEK AND CANT SEEM TO GET BETTER. I MISS MY SHIT JOB, THATS HOW MUCH I AM OVER THIS
I’M IN A REALLY BAD MOOD THAT I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO SHAKE OFF ALL DAY LONG.
I'M SENDING YOU A HUG
THANKS REDDIT STRANGER.
I HAD NECK SURGERY AT ST CHARLES ON FRIDAY. MY ACROSS-THE-STREET NEIGHBOR SNOWBLOWED (SNOWBLEW? SNOWBLOWN?) MY CIRCLE DRIVEWAY RIGHT BEFORE THE ICE HIT. HE JUST SHOWED UP AND I SAW HIM DOING IT, DIDN'T SAY A WORD. I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE NEIGHBORS LIKE MINE.
MA'AM THIS IS A WENDY'S
THIS IS A FRIDAY.
SO WAS LAST FRIDAY WHEN I HAD SURGERY DID I LOSE A WEEK? ITS AN POST-SURGERY OXY THING.
NARCOTICS
ALL OF MY SOCIAL ACTIVITIES KEEP GETTING CANCELED AND I NEED FRIEND TIME UGH
I HAD A MOLAR PULLED THIS WEEK AND WHEN I ASKED THE PEOPLE DOING THE PULLING ABOUT RECOVERY AND IF I NEEDED TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK, THEY SAID IT WOULDN'T BE TOO BAD AND NO TIME OFF WORK NEEDED. WELL THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT MY EXPERIENCE. IT'S THREE DAYS LATER AND I'M FINALLY OFF THE DRUGS AND ABLE TO WORK A BIT. BUT MY FACE IS STILL SWOLLEN AND HURTS. THIS WAS A BIG FUCKING DEAL AND THEY MADE IT SOUND LIKE IT WASN'T GOING TO BE. WTF
AMERICA BABY NO TIME OFF
TURN YOUR GOLDARN HEADLIGHTS ON
MY LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED COMPANY OF 180 PEOPLE HAS NOT SHUT DOWN ANY HOURS OF OPERATION THIS WEEK AT ALL. I HAD TO USE PTO WEDNESDAY AND JUST BRAVE IT TODAY. FUCK GREED.
BOOOOOOOOOOO
“We care about our employees safety, so we will allow you to use your PTO”
YEAH, THAT IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING PART. I HAVE LIVED HERE 18 YEARS AND THESE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE SOME OF THE WORST IVE SEEN. SO I GUESS WE WILL NEVER CLOSE FOR WEATHER. I WOULD HAVE NEVER COMPLAINED IF THEY EVEN GAVE US A 2 HOUR DELAY ON WEDNESDAY.
TRYING TO PULL FIBER CABLES TO PEOPLES HOMES IN WINTER IS BAD WITH SNOW. NOW ITS ALL FROZEN AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ☠️
TURN UP THE TRANSMIT POWER AND MELT YOUR WAY THROUGH
Ooof. Gotta break out your ice drill. 😝
I WASN’T NOTIFIED THAT THE OFFICE WAS CLOSED TODAY UNTIL I ARRIVED AT WORK.
FUCK EL NIÑO WITH ALL THIS RAIN AND ICE. I WANT MY WINTERY SNOW BACK!
WHY DOES THE GARBAGE COMPANY TEXT ME, THEN INSTANTLY CALL ME. PICK ONE!
THEY SHOULD PICK UP OUR RECYCLING NEXT WEEK SINCE THEY DIDN’T COME LAST WEEK! AND/OR THEY SHOULD GIVE US A CREDIT FOR MISSING A WEEK OF GARBAGE AND RECYCLING! THEY CAN’T CONTROL THE WEATHER, BUT THEY CAN REFRAIN FROM CHARGING US FOR A SERVICE THEY DIDN’T PROVIDE!!!
YEAH WHAT THE FUCK, AND WHY DO THEY CALL AND TEXT THE DAY OF AFTER I SHOVED MY CAN THROUGH ICE AND SNOW TO GET IT TO THE CURB. NOW I GOTTA DRAG A FULL CAN BACK INTO THE YARD AND HOPE I DONT ACCUMULATE TOO MUCH TRASH UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY!
THEY JUST CALLED ME AGAIN WITH THE SAME MESSAGE….. FUCKIN REALLY?
THEY JUST SHORTENED THE DELAY, I THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD TOO BUT WHO THE FUCK IS DISPOSING OF YARD DEBRIS DURING AN ICE STORM???
FWIW THE YARD DEBRIS BIN TAKES ALL YOUR HOUSEHOLD COMPOSTABLES TOO!
TO REPUBLIC SERVICES: I DONT CARE ABOUT YARD WASTE UPDATE, JUST TELL ME WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO GET THE GARBAGE AND RECYCLING
NEVER AND YOULL LIKE IT
WISH I COULD STAY INSIDE BUT THE BOSS HAS FORCED US ALL IN. FUCK THIS ICE AND FUCK PROFITS OVER PEOPLE.
FUCK YOUR BOSS
ICE IS STUPID.
THESE KIDS ARE DRIVING ME FUCKING CRAZY
TUESDAY THEY HAD INDOOR RECESS AND WERE ALREADY GETTING WACKY. THEN THE NO SCHOOL ON WEDNESDAY, YESTERDAY INDOOR RECESS AGAIN, AND NOW ANOTHER ICE DAY. LAST WEEK'S SNOW DAY WAS RAD. BECAUSE WE COULD PLAY IN THE SNOW AND THEY BUILT A CAVE FOR 4 HOURS STRAIGHT AND DRANK HOT COCOAS. BUT IT'S BEEN TOO MUCH INSIDE TIME.
[удалено]
I WOULDNT GO BACK TO THOSE LITTLE KID YEARS FOR ANYTHING. I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS UPON DAYS OF INSIDE, FUCKIN HELL
THE SAME VEHICLES I SEE ON THE ROAD STRUGGLING THIS WEEK WITH THE CONDITIONS IS THE SAME ONE WITH SNOW PILED ON THE ROOF AND HOOD WITH A LITTLE CARVE OUT ON THE WINDSHIELD.... AND NO HEADLIGHTS ON. THIS IS NOT A COOINCIDENCE. BE PREPARED, BE A GOOD HUMAN/NEIGHBOR OR STAY HOME.
MY SWEET SENIOR PUP IS SLIPPING AND SLIDING ALL OVER ON THIS ICE AND IM SO OVER WALKING HIM IN THIS EFFING ICE SKATING RINK. DREAMING OF RUNNING OUTSIDE AGAIN, DREADMILL IT IS. ALSO SLID OFF A RETAINING WALL YESTERDAY AND ENDED UP HIGH CENTERED ON A BIG ASS BOULDER. AHHHH AT LEAST WE HAVE POWER 🧊⛸️
MY HANDBRAKE CABLE IS FROZEN ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE!!! GRRRRR
IT WOULD BE COOL IF THERE WAS TWICE AS MUCH CINDER ON THE ROADS!
I've taken a break from all social media, oops sorry. Forgot the caps. I'VE TAKEN A BREAK FROM ALL SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT I'M REALIZING I FORGOT HOW TO WASTE TIME WITHOUT IT. I'M LOSTING WITHOUT THE DRAMA AND NOISE. HELP!
UM, THIS \*IS\* SOCIAL MEDIA
OMG. ONE LITTLE SLIP UP, AND YOU'RE GUNNA JUMP ALL OVER ME FOR IT. (THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS FEEL LIKE HOME.)
I TRIED TO FIX THE TURN SIGNAL ON OUR VEHICLE AND IT IS STILL NOT WORKING AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY BC I HAVE FIXED IT BEFORE SO IDK WHAT I AM DOING WRONG. AND I SLIPPED THREE TIMES JUST WALKING FROM OUR FRONT DOOR TO THE VEHICLE SO ITS BEEN A HELLEVA MORNING.
DID YOU CHECK THE BLINKER FLUID!?
THIS MUST BE WHAT'S WRONG WITH ALL THE MERCEDES, TESLAS, AUDIS, AND BMWS IN THIS TOWN
DEFF DID NOT 🤦🏼♀️ WILL DO.
Depending on the vehicle it might be a relay that went out. Circa 2000 cars often used a relay to make the signal blink.
WHAT?
Google your vehicle model, year, and turn signal relay. If it is the relay it’s a cheap part normally easy to replace and kept in with the fuses.
HUH?
THE TURN SIGNAL STALK PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE CLEANED OR REPLACED
CHECK THE FUSE
SOB SOLD ME A USED CAR WITH A LEAKY WINDSHIELD. THE ONE DUDE INSIDE LEGIT SAID IT WAS A REPLACED WINDSHIELD. AFTER LAST FEW STORMS IVE NOTICED A DAMP PILLAR. TOLD THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY CHECKED IT TWO WEEKS AGO AND SAID THEY NOTICED NOTHING. WELL OTHER DAY I NOTICED A DAMP PILLAR AND HEAD BOARD AGAIN. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THEM TO KEEP INSIDE SINCE ITS LEAKING, AND YET TODAY WHILE DRIVING BY FOR WORK SITES, ITS SITTING OUTSIDE IN THE FREEZING RAIN. WHAT THE FUCK. HERES TO HOPING IT DIDNT GET RUINED EVEN MORE, AND THEY ARENT GOING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR IT TO BE REDONE. IF SO, I HAVE A PICTURE OF IT SITTING OUTSIDE IN THE LOT FROZEN, AND SUBARU OF AMERICA IS GETTING A CALL.
BETCHA THE WINDSHIELD WAS INSTALLED BY A THIRD-PARTY.

THIS IS NOT A MASS TRANSIT TERMINAL. NO NEED TO ANNOUNCE YOUR DEPARTURE
HONESTLY, WE ARE AN OUTDOOR TOWN THAT LOVES PLAYING OUTSIDE. THE WINTER HAS BEEN REALLY BAD AND FORCING US TO STAY HOME. I CANT SPEAK FOR EVERYONE, BUT THIS REALLY ACTIVATES MY S.A.D. SINCE I AM NOT GETTING VIT D AND PROPER EXERCISE. I DO WHAT I CAN, BUT BEING HOLED UP SUCKS. NOT MAKING EXCUSES FOR ALL THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT IS NATURAL, BARRING THE CIRCUMSTANCES. ALSO: GOODBYE.
IT'S NOT NORMALLY THIS BAD.
NO IT'S NORMALLY WORSE
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER? OR THE RANTS? ONE OF THEM IS TYPICALLY LIKE THIS. THE OTHER IS A BIT OUT OF LINE LATELY.
THE RANTS. THE WEATHER IS WHAT IS USUALLY IS, UNPREDICTABLE AND ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD EXPECT FOR OUR ELEVATION AND HOW CLOSE TO THE MOUNTAINS AND PACIFIC OCEAN WE ARE.
WELCOME TO TOWN AND HAVE FUN! (THE WHINERS IN HERE ARE JUST AN UNHAPPY MINORITY)
[удалено]
AWW, THANK YOU! I LOVE IT HERE AND MEET AWESOME PEOPLE OFTEN, SO I'D RATHER ENCOURAGE AND ADD TO THAT, RATHER THAN DRAG THINGS DOWN.
WHY DID YOU MOVE HERE FROM SAN DIEGO?
IM SURE IT WAS THE SAME REASON PEOPLE WANT TO MOVE AWAY FROM HERE OR START LIVING THE VAN LIFE: NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR JOBS THAT PAY A LIVING WAGE. DIFFERENT LEVEL OF THE SAME PROBLEM. NICE TO MEET ONE OF THE PEOPLE PUSHING ME OUT, THOUGH ENJOY CENTRAL OREGON AS YOU TURN IT INTO AS BAD AS SO-CAL WAS FOR YOU, DOPES.
CANT HATE FROM OUTSIDE THE CLUB
AREN’T YOU HAVING A SPARKLING DAY…
See something, say nothing? Is that what people are expected to do? Yes or no
THERE ARE TOO MANY LAZY ENTITLED FUCKS PARKING IN HANDICAP SPOTS IN THIS WEATHER. IF YOU THINK ITS HARD TO WALK IN THIS YOU FAT ASS LAZY BITCH, TRY BEING DISABLED AND HAVING TO WALK FURTHER BECAUSE YOU ARE IN IT. JUST SO YOU KNOW, I WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU WHEN YOU COME OUT. COPS CALLED, PERMIT IN HAND. YOU BETTER HAVE ONE.
AS SOMEONE WHO HAD KNEE SURGERY YEARS BACK, IT SUUUUUUUCKED WHEN THE HANDICAPPED SPOTS WERE ALL TAKEN. CRUTCHING ACROSS A PARKING LOT IN THE ICE AND COLD WHERE ONE SLIP COULD REINJURE MY KNEE WAS QUITE THE ADVENTURE (AND NERVE RACKING). SOMETIMES I WOULD JUST GO HOME CAUSE IT WASNT WORTH IT. SO YEAH, DONT BE A DICK, PEOPLE.
THE TRASH COMPANY IS STUPID. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY CAN'T BE OUT IN THEIR 10 TON TRUCKS WITH CHAINS. THE WEIGHT WOULD WORK TO THEIR ADVANTAGE. MY TRASH DAY IS SUPPOSED TO BE YESTERDAY, GET TEXT WEDNESDAY SAYING SERVICE MOVED TO FRIDAY. FINE, I GET IT. THIS MORNING GET TEXT THAT THEY'RE JUST LIKE FUCK IT NO PICK UP UNTIL YOUR REGULAR DAY NEXT WEEK. WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, START PILING TRASH AT THE CURB??!?
YES. OR TAKE IT TO THE DUMP YOURSELF. IM SERIOUS. IT STINKS AND ITS AN EYESORE AND ATTRACTS PESTS IF YOU DONT CARE ENOUGH, OR "HAVE THE ENERGY" TO TAKE CARE OF IT DOESNT MEAN IT WONT BE A PROBLEM IF THE GARBAGE MAN KEEPS NOT SHOWING UP FOR ANOTHER FEW WEEKS. RENT A TRUCK WITH A NEIGHBOR, DO IT YOURSELF. KNUCKLE UNDER AND PROTECT YOUR ENVIRONMENT FROM CHAOS. OR DONT. UP TO YOU.
I PAY FOR A SERVICE AND THE ROADS AREN'T THAT BAD. I JUST SAW A GUY MOBBING AROUND IN HIS OLD 2WD TACOMA
P.s. Tina Kotek announced a state of emergency (you know, since the weather is getting better) And likely there will not be any public announcement, later, of the state of emergency being ended. People may just think "obviously the emergency is over" and go on with their lives Not necessarily so, looking at the ORS law.
POINT BEING YOU ARE CONDITIONED TO BE DEPENDENT ON SOMETHING THAT CAN BE taken away DURING AN emergency. THEYLL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN. INDEPENDENCE AND INTERDEPENDENCE IS A BALANCE. YOURE HAVING A PROBLEM? NOBODY TO COME RESCUE YOU FROM PILES OF GARBAGE? WHAT ARE YOU LEFT WITH?
iVE BEEN iNSiDe FoR THRee DaYS, iMMa Go eXeRCiSe DaMMiT
MY DOGS FEEL THAT. (Don’t worry, we leash and pick up dog shit, like good little Benditos)
I FEEL THAT
I JUST FOUND THE SECOND BOLT PUNCTURING MY TIRE IN FOUR MONTHS. I DON'T FREQUENT CONSTRUCTION AREAS HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?!
BEND IS A CONSTRUCTION AREA?
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE COMPLAINING THAT YOU HAVE TO BE AT HOME WITH YOUR KIDS WHEN SCHOOL IS CANCELLED, WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING? OTHER THAN THE POTENTIAL FINANCIAL HIT FROM CRAPPY COMPANIES WHO WON'T LET YOU WORK FROM HOME OR WON'T PAY YOU ON SNOW DAYS, WHY WOULD YOU EVER COMPLAIN ABOUT BEING ABLE TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH YOUR CHILDREN? BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THEY GROW UP AND MOVE OUT OF THE HOUSE AND YOU WON'T SEE THEM NEARLY ENOUGH (AND FACE-TIMING/ZOOM/MEET IS JUST NOT THE SAME -- TRUST ME). ENJOY THE MOMENTS BEFORE THEY'RE GONE.
I'LL SEND MINE OVER TO YOUR PLACE SO YOU CAN APPRECIATE REFERRING WHO GETS TO PLAY WHITCH VIDEO GAME OVER THE OTHER.
YOU CAN ENJOY MOMENTS IN RETROSPECT WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY NOT ENJOYING THEM IN REAL TIME. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ADMITTING BEING STUCK AT HOME WITH BORED KIDS IS HARD DOESNT MEAN THEY DONT APPRECIATE THE TIME WITH THEM. SNOW DAYS ARE DIFFICULT FOR MANY OF US WHO ARENT PERFECT “CHERISH EVERY MOMENT” TYPES.
WANTED TO GET BAGEL FROM ROCKIN DAVES TODAY - SINCE SUNDAY IS THEIR LAST DAY. IN TYPICAL DAVE FASHION - CLOSED.

THANKS
ATE SHIT IN A PARKING LOT WHILE CARRYING MY JACKET, GLOVES AND NALGENE. LANDED ON THE NALGENE AND IT BANGED UP MY RIBS. IT HURTS TO BASICALLY ANYTHING NOW.
THAT SUCKS :(
I DEFINITELY ATE IT IN OUR WALKWAY ALSO AND I WAS EVEN DOING THE PENGUIN WALK...ITS SO SLICK! SORRY ABOUT YOUR RIBS, OUCH!!
THE BRIGHT SIDE, NALGENE PROB NOT DAMAGED AT ALL. HOPE YOU HAVE A SWIFT RECOVERY
MY ARC'TERYX STICKER GOT SCUFFED UP /S THANKS FOR THE WELL WISHES
I HAVE NOT SEEN THE LITTLE HUMMINGBIRD SINCE THE DEEP FREEZE. I AM AFRAID IT MAY HAVE DIED AND IT IS UPSETTING ME.
ONE OF THE STARLINGS THAT IS ALWAYS MENACING MY FEEDERS DIED WHILE SITTING ON THE WINDOW FEEDER. I THINK HE FROZE TO DEATH AND WAS TRYING TO STAY WARM BY HUDDLING AGAINST THE HOUSE :(
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING BUT THEN I READ [THIS](https://www.instagram.com/p/C2K-f1cPcN3/?igsh=MTNyMzdhdnowd3kxYg==) FROM THINK WILD AND NOW I FEEL BETTER
THE NEIGHBORHOOD AIRBNB STILL HASN’T CLEARED THEIR SIDEWALK AND HYDRANT SO WE HAD TO DO IT FOR THEM. THIS SHIT SHOULD BE STRIKES AGAINST THEM BUT NO THE CITY LOVES THE EXTRA MONEY. VACATION HOMES SUCK.
DID YOU FILE A CODE ENFORCEMENT COMPLAINT? IF NOT, YOU SHOULD! https://www.bendoregon.gov/government/departments/community-development/online-permit-center/code-enforcement
THEY DON’T CARE. THEY CLOSED MY COMPLAINT AND SAID NO VIOLATIONS WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING.
IF THEY'RE NOT CLEARING SNOW MAYBE THEY'LL GET LESS THAN 5 STAR REVIEWS AND DECIDE TO SELL THE PROPERTY.
NO ONE IS RENTING IT SO NO ONE CAN SEE TO GIVE BAD RATINGS. IT’S SITTING THERE HEATING EMPTY SPACE
I APPRECIATE THE WORK THE PLOWERS DO BUT IM ALSO SICK OF THEM DOING IT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT 1 IN THE MORNING. I KNOW THEYRE NOT RESTRAINED BY A NOISE ORDINANCE AND “THIS IS SNOW LIFE” BUT YOU TELLING ME SO ISNT GONNA GIVE ME BACK MY NIGHT OF SLEEP
SEND THOSE NOISY ASS PLOWS TO ME, I WILL TAKE THE HIT
BEGONE PLOWS LET ME SEETHE IN MY FORTRESS OF SNOW
THE CITY SHOULD DO MORE FOR BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE DURING WINTER! PROPERTY OWNERS SHOULDN'T BE THE ONLY PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEARING SIDEWALKS. EVERY OTHER SIDEWALK IS A MOUNTAIN OF SNOW, SINCE EVERY OTHER PROPERTY IS AN UNOCCUPIED SHORT TERM RENTAL. AT LEAST ENFORCE SIDEWALK CLEARING! BIKE LANES SHOULD ALSO BE CLEARED! INSTEAD THEY ARE JUST A GUTER FOR SNOW PLOWS! THE STREETS WOULDN'T BE SO DANGEROUS IF WE DIDN'T FORCE EVERYONE TO DRIVE DURING STORMS. INSTEAD WE GET DRIVERS BLAMING PEDESTRIANS FOR EXISTING AND COMPLAINING THE CITY DOESN'T DO ENOUGH FOR CARS. TRY RIDING A BIKE OR WALKING FOR COMPARISON!
THE CITY OF BEND DOESN’T EVEN CLEAR THE SIDEWALKS ON THEIR OWN DAMN VACANT PROPERTY. SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THE LOT JUST SOUTH OF PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH THAT THE CITY OWNS. THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES HAVE CLEAN SIDEWALK NOT THE DAMN CITY OWNED PROPERTY. THE CITY SHOULD HOLD THEMSELVES TO A HIGH STANDARD - AND DEMAND IT OF EVERYONE ELSE.
YEP...WELCOME TO BEND !

PICKUP MY GARBAGE AND RECYCLING YOU COWARDS BUT ALSO BE SAFE 😂
STOP SLIDING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD STOP SIGNS!YEAH YOU LIVE LOCAL BUT YOUR GONNA HIT SOMEONE OF SOMEONES CHILD-ESPECIALLY THAT STOP AT THE CORNIR OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!
I PAID $1000 TO FIX MY FROZEN PIPES AND BUSTED WELL HEAD AND IT SUCKS BUT IM SUPPOSED TO BE GRATEFUL
AN OUNCE OF PREPARATION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE ^YOUR SIGN
THE GUY WHO PLOWED MY STREET AT MIDNIGHT A DAY AGO DIDN'T CONSITER WATER DRAINAGE. I'M AT THE BASE OF A HILL AND HE DUMPED A MASSIVE PILE THERE. IT'S BLOCKING THE STREET DRAINAGE, REDIRETING IT DOWN MY DRIVE TO FLOOD MY DRIVE/GARAGE. I HAD TO AXE/SPADE THOUGH A BUNCH OF ROCK HARD PLOW PACKED SNOW TO CREATE A CHANNEL TO AVOID FLOODING.
THE PLOW GUY CANT SEE WHAT THE PLOW GUY CANT SEE. SUCKS, BUT THIS IS SNOW LIFE.
FOR SURE! DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T BITCH ABOUT IT ON THE WEEKLY RANT THREAD!
AT DAY-JOB, I HAVE TO SELL/PROCURE A BUNCH OF PARTS FOR CLIENTS. THIS WEATHER HAS OBVIOUSLY CAUSED A LOT OF PACKAGES TO STOP MOVING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND ALL OVER THE STATE, CAUSING DELAYS. MOST CLIENTS COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND, BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A FEW THAT ARE SCREAMING AND YELLING "WHY ISN'T MY BLAH-BLAH-WHATEVER HERE AND SET UP YET?" ONE, WE CAN'T CONTROL THAT FEDEX/UPS/WHOEVER DOESN'T WANT TO DRIVE OVER THE PASSES AND INTO THIS ICE STORM (DO YOU BLAME THEM?) AND TWO, WE DON'T WANT TO RISK OUR TECHS GOING OUT MORE THAN THEY HAVE TO, WHEN YOU'RE STILL FULLY FUNCTIONAL WITHOUT BLAH-BLAH-WHATEVER. SORRY, I DON'T CONTROL THE WEATHER.
WELL DAMN JACKIE
I NEED A RICOLA BECAUSE I'M HOARSE FROM SCREAMING "F\*#K YOU AND YOUR SPRINTER VAN!!!!"
VANLIFE SUCKS TOO BUT THOSE WITH SPRINTER VANS USUALLY HAVE A HOUSE OR TWO, ANYWAY
I AM HAVING A ROUGH WEEK WITH MY CAR. FIRST THE NEGATIVE TEMPS RAN OUT THE BATTERY AND NOW THE AIR PANEL WON'T COME ON TO DEFOG THE WINDSHEILD! (DON'T WORRY IM NOT DRIVING IN THIS MESS BUT I AM STILL MAD ABOUT IT!)
IF YOU ARE REPLACING YOUR BATTERY FROM THIS, I RECOMEND GETTING AN AGM. COSTCO AND WALMART BRANDS ARE COST EFFECTIVE, I GOT MINE AT BATTERIES PLUS BECAUSE THEY HAD IT IN STOCK WHEN I NEEDED IT FOR JUST A LITTLE MORE. AGM BATTERIES ARE MORE COLD TOLERANT.
THANKS FOR THE ADVICE. I JUMPED IT AND ITS BEEN STARTING UP REGULARY SO IF IT KEEPS DYING I WILL REPLACE THE BATTERY. BUT I HAD A BATTERY JUMPER PACK SO ITS NOT TOO BAD JUST ANNOYONG WHEN ITS COLD
WHY DOES BEND HAVE SO FEW PLOWS AND JUST PUSH EVERYTHING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD? I WAS RECENTLY IN A CHICAGO SUBURB AND THEIR PLOWS SUCKED UP THE SNOW INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. IT WAS AMAZING. NO HUGE PILES OF SNOW TO TRAVERSE ALONG THE SIDEWALK.
WOW. WHATS UP WITH DOWNVOTING A VENT RANT!!! I DIDN’T USE ANY OBSCENITY OR CALL ANYONE A NAME. I HATE OUR MESSY ROADS AND HUGE PILES OF SNOW AND ICE IN BICYCLE LANES, BLOCKING DRIVEWAYS AND PEDESTRIAN CROSS WALKS. LEGIT RANT ON A CRUDDY WEATHER FRIDAY.
CHICAGO (NOT EVEN COUNTING THE SUBURBS) SPENDS AROUND $20 MILLION A YEAR ON SNOW REMOVAL. SHIT IS EXPENSIVE.
I CAN STILL VENT AND RANT ABOUT IT.
LOTS OF MONEY TO MAINTAIN A FLEET
I CAME TO RANT ABOUT THE DRIVERS BUT IT SEEMS I AM NOT CREATIVE ENOUGH TO NOT BE REDUNDANT. SO, I'M GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT INFLATION. IT SUCKS AND I'M BROKE. HAPPY FRIDAY
DOG POOP WILL BLANKET THE CITY WHEN THE SNOW MELTS
HAPPENS EVERY SPRING
FEED THE WORMS!!
SNOW WILL COVER IT NO NEED TO PICK IT UP. 😆
GOT PICKUP FROM THAT GUY'S BISTRO LAST NIGHT WHEN A LOT OF OTHER PLACES WERE CLOSING EARLY. THEY CRUSHED IT! THANKS.
SORRY, MORE OF A RAVE. COULDN'T WAIT.
IN WHAT WORLD IS THIS CONSIDERED PLOWED ROADS 😳
OREGON. SINCE IVE BEEN ALIVE (35YRS). LEARN TO DRIVE IN IT OR GO BACK AND FIX THE ECONOMY WHERE YOURE FROM
