What's not fair? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Of course it's not fair that bad things happen to good people; but I'm referring to the smaller things in life that are not fair, such as:

When you order a pizza with, say, half mushroom and half pepperoni, that you have to pay for two toppings. You're really only getting one.

When you buy a new computer, they don't give you recovery discs, or anything for that matter. That's the way it's been for my last two computers. I bought one recently, and it didn't come with a manual. Not too long ago, they'd give a big plastic folder loaded with stuff. No more, at least with Gateway or Dell.

When you're in a crowded theater and the person in front of you is tall, you're just screwed, with no recourse.

Why NYC buses won't accept pennies or dollar bills? The pennies I can understand but dollar bills? Every city I've been to takes them as part of the payment but not NYC. This is more dysfunctional than unfair but it has elements of both.

It's not fair that my mother told me to shut up yesterday.

It's not fair that my mother doesn't let me have my own opinion or stand up for myself. When I try to I get labeled as 'psycho'.

It's not fair that I'm being left behind when my mother moves in with her boyfriend.

It's not fair that my vision is so poor. It makes things so much harder.

It's not fair that I have been so nice to people and some of my offline friends have ditched me, or only communicate with me when it's convienent for them.

When I order a burrito from Taco Bell, I ask them to hold the veggies and sauces- and they still put it on.

If that happens and it's delivery then I call back and get them to bring me another pizza. If it's carryout then I'll take it back myself.

You only assume that, you don't know it for a fact anymore than I do.

You are just someone on a message board Lee. You don't know all the facts as do I and you don't know what's in someone's heart. That was just a mean thing to say.

It's not fair that I'm short and pretty much have to climb up on things to try to reach X item, be it at home or in the store. If only I were about five more inches taller...

It's not fair that I can't drive. I would loooooooooove to take road trips. Being I'm on a medical LOA from work for another month at the moment, I have a lot of time on my hands... I'd love to get out and go visit people. Sigh.

MickeyMac · 07-22-2010, 03:57 PM

Its not fair that I cant get into a relationship that works out.

biffbronson · 07-22-2010, 04:30 PM

When you go to the trouble to clip a coupon and bring it to the store, but the cashier forgets to use it.

When a price on an item is clearly marked in its place in the store, but the item scans for a higher price -- and you don't notice until you get home...!

When a store says "Save 30 cents!" in their ad, but you know for a fact that they raised the regular price on that item by exactly 30c just a couple of weeks ago.

Janice · 07-22-2010, 10:46 PM

^ Speaking of coupons, time was, all you had to do was buy one item to use a coupon. Now, it's buy two, three or more items. I actually see one, it might be Dannon, that has a coupon for a dollar off 20 yogurts. That's just nuts to me.

Another thing, coupons expire fast. I remember when many had no expiration date, or they gave us a year to use them. Now, three months and it's over.

ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is not fair. It's the most insidious, horrendous disease I can think of and the fact that not only is there no cure there's also no treatment only compounds it's unfairness.
