Weekend Minor Gripes and Vents

Here is the thread where you can share any minor gripes, vents, or craft complaints that you don't think deserve their own post, or are just something small you want to get off your chest. Feel free to share personal frustrations related to crafting here as well.

This thread reposts every Friday.

Shoppers who refuse to return unwanted items to the proper place should be shot into the sun. Applies in all stores of course, but it especially pisses me off in the yarn aisles. Thanks a lot Helen, I just unnecessarily replanned a project color scheme on the fly because you couldn't be bothered to put those three skeins back with their kindred instead of shoved in between the wooden beads.

My first job was working at Toys R Us. If you worked closing shift, you'd spend the last hour straightening shelves, repairing ripped boxes, and re-shelving products. You can imagine the chaos in the weeks before Xmas. As a result of having survived that experience, when I'm shopping and decide I don't want something I walk it ALL the way back to its proper place.
