Grrr

Today I’ll say what’s on my fevered mind about some challenges that make me MAD, that test my nerves and render me unkind. Perhaps you’ll nod your head because you’ve had these too! My sharing helps me to unwind! Assembly’s easy? I do not believe that label. It will take at least two days to do it. Manufacturers deceive this hapless buyer with their wily ways. They are the bummed-out purchaser’s pet peeve. I get a hundred robo-calls each week. I hear five words, then disconnect and block. I don’t need more insurance. I don’t seek car warranties, don’t want to buy a Glock! Some day, on more annoyances, I’ll speak. October 12, 2022 written for the Three Stanza Quintain (Sicilian) Contest Sponsor: L. Milton Hankins

I steer clear of anything that says 'some assembly required' - I'm all thumbs!

Amen, Michelle! I have a son-in-law that tosses aside the instruction sheet and assembles--whatever it is--QUICK! Janice

I can totally relate to this. I get these annoying calls daily--never answer them; still they keep calling. Well said, Janice--you speak for all of us.

As a child, I learnt what life was like sans telephone, and continue to believe living sans telephone ensures a peaceful end! Aloha!
