When things go wretched and wrong, and you don't want a whole thread for it, but you'd like to curse a bit, and attract some disinterested comment, false pity, etc. That's why I started this thread.
My winge: this was the lousiest Xmas since 1975. My father is going blind, and we're seeing specialists weekly. A friend's husband (early 50s) entered palliative care on Boxing Day (does he get a month?). And then I had to travel on Boxing Day to where my sister fled after her husband walked out just a week before Xmas. Spent until yesterday sorting out with her. Where fled was lovely and tropical but it's just awful travelling to such a place at the last minute, at great expense and 4 airplanes and 22 hours of travel. And then to crown it all after the diarrhoea, I left prescription glasses in a rental car which cost the bloody earth to hire The only saving grace is that they'll ship them back, though for $200 is 'where's my chainsaw, I need to cut my head off'.

Is this a "Today I Consign to Hell" thread I see before me?
Well now. Well well well well.
Considering we're jumping ship very shortly - this month in fact - I'm going to let this stay open, but only for as long as we're on the old board. TICTH threads ain't happening on the shiny new ship, mind - they fill up the bilges and the crew have to pump faster.

Thanks, Doc-Tor. I had forgotten what those initials meant, and could happily have consigned the thread to hell, were it not here already, as I didn't understand the title!
Things with me are fine at the moment but I would like to consign to this department arrangements which worked when I made them, but are now double bookings because things change, dammit. ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif)

Because it's here:
Having now spent 5 weeks dealing with this situation without a break, TICTH:
- the designers of the student flats my daughter has just left for deciding to connect the extractor fans between the studios on the floors, among other shortcuts, including flat front doors that were not functioning fire doors. Fire doors do not have inch gaps between the floor and door to allow fire/smoke to spread under the door.
- the student on the same floor who was both heavily using and dealing cannabis by smoking in his bathroom (and allowing the buyers to do same), so filling the whole floor with cannabis smoke;
- the management of said studio flats for not dealing with said student - allowing this situation to continue for two months (probably longer, but we've removed my daughter from the situation*);
- the effectiveness and persistence of cannabis fumes in cloth, bedding, stuffing, paper, rubber coatings of cables, handles, and its ability to transfer that smell to anything else it touches or can absorb the smell.
- the genetic condition that makes both my daughter and me allergic to lots of things (apparently it affects both collagen and mast cells);
- anaphylaxis and angioedema;
- the necessity to give away new things with the labels still on them.
* Although moving stuff home with her brought the problem here. It would have been quicker and cheaper to just bring her and the laptops home (Windows for work and her personal Mac), donating everything else to the charity shops there, not bag by painful bag here. Everything has been cleaned and put away, the smell and allergic reactions persist, she continues to react, so we track down the source, wash/clean the drawerful again (or for the first time for most of my stuff and the stuff she left behind, give up and throw out 50% of anything in that drawer.
Decluttering is not decluttering if the stuff needs replacing.

Daughter-unit got caught in that mess yesterday in the other direction-- driving her infant to appt at Children's Hospital LA, gets redirected off 101 in Carpenteria and finds herself caught in the mess of flooded streets, harrowing drive around trying to find the way out before hwy patrol helpfully told her to return home to Santa Barbara. They offered if the appt was an emergency to get a boat to take our grand baby to CHLA, but fortunately it was a routine appt. But yeah, it was wicked crazy-scary there yesterday. Glad both you and them are safe.

Likewise!
TICTH overcrowded, late-running buses with loud rap being played by antisocial youths who pushed to the front of the queue to be on the bus in the first place. TICTH the potty-mouthed individual arguing with the owner of said rap... Not for demanding that it be stopped (though asking nicely might have done the trick) but for his extreme language and belligerence which inflamed the situation.

The general life dysfunction became specific this morning. I started to dump last evening's tea leaves into the compost bucket but instead dumped the compost all over the kitchen floor. Mucked it all up, mopped the floor, then I re-set and started to make tea and porridge at the same time. Then I cleaned the porridge out of the teapot.

What's more, the Hosts have to keep track of every post in a dialogue (or a dogpile), neither of which happens much in TICTH as said receptionist is not here to get involved.
We've got to rant and get our passive-aggressive tendencies out somewhere. How about something that autodeletes after 24 hours?

Thank you for showing exactly why any TICTH thread is doomed to failure.
Firstly, hostly decisions are discussed in Styx and nowhere else. But you just can't help yourselves, can you?
Secondly, TICTH posts are supposed to be pithy rants on the moment's annoyances. It's not a general discussion thread. It's not for answers or observations or smilies or anything other of your crap, just the thing that you want consigned to Hell. But you just can't help yourselves, can you?
You (all, collectively, but specifically you, and you, and you too) are why we can't have nice things. Or even horrible things. You get the Hell you deserve.

TICTH Passive aggressive chain Facebook statii e.g.
"I'm going to say goodbye to some of you...... now I'm watching the ones who will have the time to read this post until the end. This is a little test, just to see who reads and who shares without reading! If you have read everything, select 'like' so I can put a thank you on your profile! Cancer is very invasive and destructive to your body. After you have finished your treatment, then, your body wants to go to war with yourself trying to reconstruct all the damage caused by radiation. It's a very long process.
Please, in honour of someone who died, or is fighting cancer, or even had cancer, copy and paste.
They all say: 'if you need anything, do not hesitate, I'm gonna be there for you'... so I'm going to make a bet that less than 1/2 of my friends will put this on their walls. You just have to copy (not share)!!!
I want to know who I can count on.... Write 'done' in the comment when you do.
To all those who are fighting... I am with you always!"
We trained everybody out of chain letters, then out of chain emails and the same pathology shows up again !
And while we're at it, sermonising Facebook and twitter posts. "Just your gentle reminder that ..."
And also faux supportive bollocks addressed to the entire world: remember you are loved, "the work you're doing is worthwhile, you got through today and that's an achievement *hugs*"
You don't fucking know me, I could be a bitter isolated serial killer slaughtering three year olds by night and writing gerrymandered benefit-denying pip assessments by day - fuck off.

TICTH Stevia. Honestly, a big middle finger to that stuff, and to all the wise-asses who actually think it forms some sort of reasonable substitute for sugar. YES, it's sweet. YES, it's 'natural', in the sense that it's isolated from a plant, rather than created in a lab. NO, it doesn't taste like sugar, or honey, or anything remotely pleasant. It tastes like Stevia, and I can taste it in anything.
To all the makers of everything out there, if you're looking to offer a low sugar product as part of your line, just put less fucking sugar in it! I'll buy it, and enjoy it a whole lot more than anything containing Stevia, which instantly goes on my [deleted product] list.

As a cyclist I am with you on that. Lights designed for off road tracks are too bright for the road. At least it is better than the suicyclists who wear black and ride at night without lights.

Had a twat try to overtake me today while we were both turning left (UK, drive on left remember). Another day, another wanker who shouldn't have passed his test.

Everyone who thinks they own the road or deserve to be on it more than everyone else.
Drivers who ignore cyclists, cyclists who think they have a right to slow down the rest of the fucking world, drivers whose hurry makes everyone more late,drivers who think their SUV is a lorry and swing wide on the turns, etc.
Be fucking considerate and everyone will get where they are going faster and safer.

TICTH knowing that the man in the Barney suit is a tantric sex healer. And a bit of a creepy one.
To prevent the hosts needing to read the article, I’m not linking it. Just go to Huffpo or Vice if you feel the need.

I hate the fact that I've been hoping to bump into Ursula K. LeGuin for years (my wife has), and now I never will.
Poignantly and coincidentally, my son was in the midst of reading the first Earthsea novel as she was breathing her last.
