So I'm going to do I have three complaints and then we have some lengthy complaints today. So I'm going to get through mine pretty quickly. Here's, let's start it up. Okay, here's my complaint is when friends don't get the point like listen, if you're in town, you send me a text, you want to hang out, okay? Day of I would assume that anyone I say, hey, I'm in town tonight. What are you doing? I'm gonna assume they got other things going on and I know as someone who doesn't like to disappoint people, if I get the text where I go, hey, you know I'm gonna be I'm in town tonight. You got anything going on, I feel badly right away. I don't want to have to send the text. I don't want to. And I would say 9.9 out of 10 people are people that you go, ugh, I wish I could hang, but I, I just don't have it in me tonight. I didn't mentally prepare. When you have a friend in town, you are preparing months ahead of time. Weeks, weeks ahead, you're going, okay, I know on Tuesday I have to go out because this friend is going to be in town. So let's make sure that we take our foot off the gas on Sunday. On Monday when they text you the day of, hey, I happen to be here, they need to understand that it is low probability that you want to hang out. And I would say the older you get, the lower the probability gets. If you're texting a 40 year old man, hey, I'm in town tonight, the chances of me going, oh my God, let's go out on a Tuesday are very low. Single guy, maybe more. And I think that's the problem is that people assume because I don't have a wife or kids that yeah, you have the time, of course you want to hang, but this is your big night, not mine. I got this text and here's how I and I'm going to read it to you, here's what I wrote back. And to me, just let me off the hook. That's. I get this text 10, where is it? 10:36am you got a show. And you got a show tonight in New York City. Okay, I don't like the open ended nature. I want if you're texting me day of for that night, hey, I know this is a pain and I know you got things going on, but if you have a show, I would love to come. I won't be a bother. Like do all the work for me. Do all the emotional that I'm gonna do. You got a show tonight in New York City. I wrote back, I'm at the Comedy Cellar later. That's me going, come or don't. That's where I'll be. He writes, I'll come. What time? No, no, no. What time? No, I, I, I don't. And then later in the day, dude, any way we can get and he's with another friend of mine, can get tickets to this 10pm show. So he went to the website like I didn't even answer. I let them do the work, can get tickets to this 10pm show. If not all good. And so I wrote back under your name at the Village Underground. Get there around 9:40 to check in. And then no response. Listen, how about just make this easy on me? I just planned your night. I'm running around, I'm doing five sets last night. The idea that I'm just like waiting on a text for somebody ran and again, just let me off the hook is what I ask of a friend. Make it easy on me to not feel like I am. Now the party planning committee. My other complaint, I can the targeted ads just go a little easier on us? If you're going to tell me that you got a T shirt that fits men with bad bodies, can you just say you're going to love this T shirt? Because the targeted ads aren't just being like, hey, this is a T shirt you're gonna love. It's hey, big tittied men, are you embarrassed of your body? Well, here's a T shirt that will fit your fat fuck ass. Like, I don't need to be yelled at the minute I open my phone and get two scrolls in. How about we soften it? How about we go, hey, do you have issues with T shirts? Sometimes. I'm not judging. I like a burger too. I eat the fries. But why don't you check out this T shirt? Not hey fatty, your titties are shaking around in that T shirt, you need a new one. It just feels like in this effort to stand out, we are just not cautious with the feelings of the people opening their phone. And honestly, this pulls, this pulls us away from social media. This makes us go, ah, I'm not going to open Instagram today. I don't need to hear about my big old titties not fitting in my T shirts. I'm not going to open TikTok today. Yeah, sure, I'm addicted, but I don't need to get the ad about, hey, you little penis loser, who's under 5 8? I got the right pants for you to show off your bulge. I don't need that in my life. Maybe I'm not going to go on social media today. Maybe I'm just going to play wordle and then I'm going to go back to my work and turn on the TV instead. Here's my last complaint. Oh, I have four complaints. Tom Cruise, he's on my TV right now. Mission Impossible, the Final Reckoning. The Mission Impossible, the Final Reckoning hits theaters to tomorrow. So they have Tom Cruise on TV doing an interview. He's on SportsCenter. I don't know why he's there. And they're showing him on the wing of a plane. I think we're beyond being excited about a movie because Tom Cruise does his own stunts. We've heard it, we get it. We don't think he's. Well, we, we're not sitting here like, whoa, Tom Cruise, he's just like me. He's like a normal guy. That's crazy. He gets on the wing of a plane. No, we go whacked out. Tom Cruise doing whacked out stuff again. That's not getting me to the theater anymore. We went over this on trl. We heard Tom Cruise does all his own stunts. This is 20 years ago. We've gotten Tom Cruise doing his own stunts content for at least 20 years now. @ first it was like, what? Really? No stuntman. He's gonna go and walk a tight wire with a bungee cord on, like. And to be honest, I think it's overblown. I don't think he's doing these to me. You go bungee jumping. They've tested that out a thousand times. There's people that make sure that works. Same way Tom Cruise, I don't really think he's putting his life on the line. I think he's doing these things and it's fun for him. And he's also in charge of the movie studio. He owns the studio that makes Mission Impossible. So the idea that there's like a chance here that someone else is like, oh, you know, taking a chance. There's no chance taken. He's loaded. He's got 30 people working on this one. Bungee cord on the wing of the plane. He's gonna be fine. And, and he likes doing this. You know what I want? I want. Tom Cruise is 62 years old. Did you know that? I didn't. He looks great. Here's the thing. I want to watch 62 year olds do the stunts that Tom Cruise has already done. That's a show that I'm turning on. That's a movie I'm going to see. I want to see a 62 year old hugging a the side of a plane going, I just, I just, I thought this would be more fun. I don't know if I can do this. I want to retire. I like to golf. This is too much. I want to see that. That's what I want to see. I don't need to see Tom Cruise, you know, flinging himself off the Golden Gate Bridge while tied to a bungee. I want to see Elaine on the top of the Golden Gate Bridge hugging, hugging the bridge going, I just want to talk to my kids. I just want to see my grandkids. That's what I want. Tom Cruise hangs off the side of the plane. No, I want Tom Cruise's, you know, chubby engineer who makes all his gear and Mission Impossible. I want that guy on the side of a plane doing his own stunts. That's exciting. I want normal accountant going up. Why is it only a plane? Why is it always him on the back of a plane? Does he know any of. That's the other thing. The stunts all seem the same. He hasn't done a new stunt in any of these movies. It's always him hanging on a plane. Aren't there other things that he can do? Why isn't he paragliding? Isn't that real dangerous? Do that. Why does he have one of those, you know, those batsuits where he jumps off, you know, you know where they jump off a mountain with no parachute? Do that one. Tom, this is. I guess I'm getting to the core of my issue is that none of this is that dangerous for Tom Cruise. We're sold on this bill of goods. When he's really in the last three movies. It's all plane stuff. It's all him hanging on a plane. Doesn't he do other stuff? There's not one where he's in the flying raccoon suit from Mario Brothers jumping off a cliff. Do that last complaint. I watched the PGA Championship. I'm getting into golf. The winner was Scheffler. Who won? The winner was, is he? Scott Scheffler? Sam Scheffler. Scotty Scheffler. I can't believe I forgot the name. Scotty Scheffler won. Okay. And I'm not putting this on Scotty, but they do this after the golfer wins all the time. Why is it that they film the winner of a golf tournament seeing his kids as if he just came home from war? How long has it been since these golfers have been in touch with their kid? The kids are. We led to believe that going and golfing in a tournament for a weekend is somehow like the equivalent of leaving home for a year. Because they show Scotty Scheffler hugging his baby and the wife. You did it. Like, I get it, but I get it. Like, this is a big win. But like, What'd they win? 10 million bucks. What is the purse like? I want to see. What is it worth to this family? Like this wasn't he won. The purse is 19 million. How much did he win? How much did he win? How much does he win? 3.42 million. Okay, that's not enough to cry when you see your kids and your family. That's not enough. Especially when you're sponsored and you're the number one golfer in the world. You've won many championships. 3.42 million. Sure. Lot of money. I, I would argue that this is a drop in the bucket as far as what he will make, has made will and made that day. He was, was on the course probably for $10 million in sponsorship. So I just don't get that. And, and even the announcers are pouring it on. Scotty Scheffler going to see his kids. Look at him and the baby. It's as if no one else has kids and children that they leave for the day to go to work. Like, why is he hugging the kid as if he just got home from Iraq. And this is one of those tear filled videos that we see at a triple A baseball game. It's not that. It's not, it's not that he saw his kid that morning. He's going to see that kid that night. He's going to talk to the kid. In between Blues clues on the iPad, you're going to get your moments. Oh my God. We did. Finally. We can, we can buy a third beach home. I just don't know. And again, they do it at the end of every golf tournament. So I'm not annoyed at Scotty Scheffler hugging his kid and wife after the after the tournament. I'm more annoyed at the announcer who thinks this is getting through to me. How stupid do they think we are? J train podcast gmail.com j train podcast@gmail.com those are my complaints.

My ticked off Tuesday is with the way that dispatchers for maintenance companies think they can be vague and general with their time estimates to customers. Generally, companies schedule me for a four hour time window and then promise to call when the technician is within 30 minutes of my house. This makes sense, but it's rarely what happens. I am in the process of selling my home and have had 10 plus separate maintenance appointments. The complaint is not that my day is completely disrupted and monopolized by these service calls, which is true, but at this point just feels like part of life. It's that the dispatcher has the audacity to give me an arrival window that is so wide in relation to the time until the beginning of my of the arrival window. Okay. On a recent occasion I picked the first available day when I could be with On a recent occasion I picked the first available day when I could be the first call. So my window was 8 to 9am okay. The scheduler told me I would receive a call 30 minutes prior to the appointment when no call when no one called by 8:45 I called the dispatcher and asked when the technician would get here. The dispatcher told me the tech would be there between 9 and 9:30. What that means he is telling me that the Tech would be 15 minutes away, 5 to 7 miles in my town or or 45 minutes away 20 to 30 miles in my town. How can he pretend that the GPS tracking does not exist? This is a large company with multiple technicians. I know they have trackers on their cars. That's a 300% swing in time. Love absolutely everything you do. Well, I appreciate this email. This is you are on them. I I will say as as far as like you know if I called I you there was this commercial that was on when I was younger and it was like about cereal. I don't know why it stuck with me for all this time but it was like, and they were like talking about the principal and the principal's a real stickler. I would call you a stickler. And I listen, I'm going to agree with you but I'm going to take a moment to point out you are on them like white on rice. I mean because you had an 8 to 9. No one calls by 8:45. Fine, I would call 2 and they'll be there between 9 and 9:30. So you're basically saying they've at this point they've had from not 8 to 9:30. So they could be 15 minutes away or 45 minutes away. I, I don't think you're accounting for the work being done. What do you. Because they don't know what they're going to run into and they're trying to undersell over deliver. Again, I'm not here to defend the company. I'm with you. It is annoying. It is annoying because. And for exactly the reason you say, I don't know, about 300% to me, if I had an 8 to 9 time window and they were done by 10 o' clock I would go. That kind of comes with the territory. But I would say to you, I agree that they have the technology and to even more complain with you, I don't want to hear 15 to 30 minutes. I want to hear especially from a big company, as you put it, especially from a company that does, you know, this work all the time. I want to hear they are on the corner of blank and blank. They have an appointment with a place on blank and blank and they will be to you after they're done with that appointment at blank and blank. Because I would rather me do the math and, and I would say the part where they should be telling you any time frame our maintenance takes between 30 and 20 and 30 minutes. That's. I just want them to be real with me and I agree with you. Just tell me exactly where they are on the map. You have the technology, you have the ability. You can tell me they are at the corner of blank and blank right now. I am watching them. You can put it in so that I can put it into my map. Like if I want to be exact, that's where I want to be exact. I don't want to be exact. I mean I understand you're saying it's a 300 swing. I'm not doing the math on that. The math you've done. Good for you. I'm with you that this is annoying because Just tell me they I would rather Them tell me exactly where they are rather than guesses. And you're, you're kind of straying into that. You're like, you know, five to seven miles in my town is, or 45 minutes away. 20 to 30 miles in my town is 45, 15 minutes is five to seven miles away. 45 minutes is 20 to 30 miles away. I, I, I don't want the 20 to 30. I want to know where they are, the map, what number I am in line and how long these things generally take. And you can even tell me where they're heading next. And I can understand where they're like, well, we won't give out the address. Hey, they're on this street right now. They have an appointment on that street at 9:30. You are second in line. That's what I want. And if I'm to even go a further place with you at the beginning of the day, they should send you an email that tells you our driver has you number five on the list. You're they're starting at this time. Each place takes 15 minutes on average between each place we have set up our route and it's between 10 and 15 minutes between each place set up the day for me. Because if they did that and you now again, you're a mathematician, you could go, okay, I'm fifth in line. It takes 10 minutes each. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. So I'm 50 minutes away. So now I know I don't want eight to nine. Get rid of eight to nine. We're starting at nine at this place. We will be at our first appointment at 9am we can promise that. That's the thing. Make some promises and then we're cool. I promise I will be at my first appointment at 9:00am there's five in front of you. Okay? Each appointment takes 10 minutes. Okay, I can plan my day now. I can go get coffee, I can leave the house, I can get the sitter or whatever situated. I can go get my lawn. I can now fill in that 50 minutes. We just want efficiency. We're the uber generation, we're the Google generation. We want to get from this place to that place in a straight line. And you know they have the technology. That's the Most disappointing part. Jtrain podcast@gmail.com Jtrain podcast gmail.com Again. Patreon's where you gotta sign up. My ticked off Tuesday is about preset menu items. I recently went to a popular New York City breakfast spot to get a breakfast wrap. I wanted the number three whole wheat wrap. With egg whites, spinach, mushroom, avocado and Swiss. Brace yourself. But sans avocado and Swiss. On a diet. I told the guy behind the counter exactly that. Yes, I told him I was on a diet. Lol. I think I to me this, the filling for this wrap isn't in a bowl that they're ladling into the wrap in the back. This should be an easy request. I told the guy behind the counter exactly that. Yes, I told him I was on a diet. Lol. Oh, and I added scallions since those were in a different wrap and thought that would add a tad more flavor. I am with you 150%. I get to the cashier and I tell her I got the number three. No avocado, no Swiss and made a comment that maybe it's cheaper without the high ticket items a girl can wish. The girl I, I, I, I like what you've done here. At that point, don't get the number three. At that point, let yourself be, you know, given to the pricing gods instead of and I know you're making it easier. I would be like egg white spinach mushroom. Egg white spinach mushroom with scallions, please. And a wrap. Oh, what do you charge for that? And then you could go, oh, you charge more than the one that comes with avocado. How'd that happen? I would rather order this than get that minus that. I think you're doing this wrong. You're making it too easy on them. The girl chuckled and then continued to charge me $12 for the wrap. What's my complaint? My complaint is if you're removing ingredients from an order, doesn't it make a little sense to take a few bucks off? Yeah, I, I there's an alak carte version of what you got. I think you kind of mess this up for yourself. I agree with you. You would charge me to add avocado and cheese. So why not help a girl out and take $2 off? I don't know. I understand you said this twice in your email. Help a girl out. A girl can wish. No. Now order this without Order this the harder way. And I think you get a cheaper wrap. Thanks for the daily laughs. A dieting and hungry batch. P.S. how can your dad not like peanut butter cups? That is the surprise of the century. If you were following on my Instagram, my dad claims he doesn't like Reese's Peanut butter Cups. I can't even to me, I think he's making a hot take. I think it's rage bait. I don't think that's even possible to not like a peanut butter cup. But I digress. Here's the thing. I agree with you. This should be cheaper. I disagree with how you ordered it. If I were you. Hey, what are you having today? Can I get a breakfast wrap? Egg white, spinach, mushroom scallions. Let them price that because they have egg whites. Cost a certain, you know, the wrap costs and it might just be any rap is $12. That to me feels crazy. Also good to know for the next time you go, add avocado, add sweat. And then I think you go all a la carte at this place. I think these preset. You know the preset thing. I thought they were going to not allow you to order the rap you wanted to me the move would have been it'll be $12, please. Oh, no, no, no. Never mind. And then order the same thing without saying it's the number three. Oh, no, no, no, never mind. I'm going to get something else. I'll have the exact same thing except not the number three. How much is that? Like, it is crazy. You're right. It is crazy to charge the same thing. But in an effort to make your ordering life easier, they have returned in kind by making their charging life easier. Everyone here is being lazy. Everyone. But I agree with you. This is. You should not be spending the same amount or they should be giving you more egg whites. I mean, like as. As you said you're on a diet. I would be expecting more egg whites, more spinach, more mushrooms. I Because you're going. The egg white is a volume play. It is about getting as much into your body as possible to chew as long as possible so that you don't want to chew other bad things. So I would inquire, am I getting extra egg white since we're not doing the avocado and the Swiss. I don't think Swiss is as big money item as the avocado. I think you got to go a la carte. You got it. You can't. Again, this was all laziness, all of it. You're right, though. You can't remove ingredients from an order. Doesn't make a little sense to take a few bucks off. I But you're too casual about this. A few bucks, a few bucks off. No, no, no. That's not how this all works. That's a good. Don't you think you should take a few. It's the guy at the cashier. The guy at the cashier probably doesn't own the place. He's not doing pricing off the top of his head. He's making his life easy on himself just like you're making your life easy on you. You didn't want to go, hey, I'll have an egg white wrap with mushrooms, spinach and scallion. I you gotta go. You can't. To me, adding on to the preset menu is the move to go. Be is the way to go because then they don't charge you. Maybe I think you might. You might get this the other way, but if you ever said extra egg whites they would go, we gotta charge you for double egg whites. It's a this is a problem. I would please write back in with an update on whether this changes if you order it a la carte versus the lazy way that you did it. J train podcast@gmail.com jtrain podcastmail.com I got one more in front of me. Sign up for the Patreon Come to the shows. Jared I'm ticked off at this company and I don't know if I should be or not. Well, I will tell you. A couple years ago I bought three matching LED lights for my bathroom vanity. $200 a piece. So you're now at $600. And they came with a five year warranty. One of the bulbs started to burn out. See attached picture I'm looking at the picture. These are beautiful LED lights and they go great with the mirror. They look like they have a beautiful bathroom. I'll post this on the Instagram Train podcast where you can also send your questions and your ticked off Tuesdays and your suggestions for pop culture Thursdays. I saw I contacted the company. They did the right thing by offering me my money back or sending a replacement. I chose a replacement. Great. When I opened the package I saw the design was slightly different. I contacted the company and they said the manufacturer of the light had a design change. It wasn't too noticeable of a change next to the other two lights, so I didn't make a big deal of it. My husband installed the light and when we turned the lights on, the replacement light was a completely different temperature. It had a warm temperature and didn't match the other lights that had a cooler daytime temperature. And it was completely obvious. This is very annoying because if you look at the picture they the three LED lights were bought as a singular design. They were bought to look good together and if you change the setting and the manufacturing, it's kind of this like get out of jail free to me. If you if one breaks, then all three breaks. If You've changed the design. I called the company to see if I could send back the other two working lights and get those replaced so all my lights would match. Long shot, but I tried. I, it shouldn't be as much of a long shot as I agree it to be. Like, I agree it's a long shot, but why? You ordered the three lights. They were matching for a reason. They look like they came from a place that understands design, that sells things with design in mind. Like these aren't light bulbs that would be bought individually. If you bought three, you bought three to do a thing and it feels like they would know that. This is like when Apple changes the charging mechanism or the charger and you're like, is, well, don't you send us a new one for free? Because we didn't ask for this. They said no and offered me 30% off. Well, the minute they offer you 30% off means they know exactly what they're doing. They know this is wrong. This is, this is, this is them saying to you, we know that we're screwing you and here's your we're screwing you discount. Because the 30%. If you give me 30%, you should be giving me the lights for free is my opinion. They said no and offer me a 30% off. Offer me 30% off if I wanted to purchase the two additional lights. See, that's, that's an, that's an admission. I politely asked for 50 off. And after the rep talked to her manager, they said the most they could do was 30 off. I've probably spent around $1800 total with this company in the past. That doesn't matter. You spent 600 on three lights that were meant to be a design for your bathroom, and they knew that. Then you had and you bought a warranty. The warranty entitled you. If any of those broke, you could send it back and get a new one. Then they changed the design. Now you have one out of three that looks completely different and they know this. So they're like, oh, well, you can get the other two. But 30% off. Ah, yeah. Kind of sucks. Sorry. Our bad. They didn't even say our bad. They're saying our bad by the 30% discount. So I said no thanks and just ended up replacing all three lights from a cheaper company. Yeah, I, I, I, it's probably not even cheaper. You're probably, it's probably this. It was, was it unreasonable for me to ask them for to replace the two other lights? No. Or give me a larger discount than the 30% off? So my lights could match or am I being a whiny light? Light lit up. No, you are completely correct. I can't agree with you more. This is them taking advantage of a customer. And what it does is make you feel small because you're, this is why people comment that they're unfollowing someone. Before unfollowing, they need to get something out of this. Because in this instance, if I were you, I would understand feeling small, feeling like this big company thought nothing of me as a customer, where I've been a good one. I've spent 1800 with this customer over my lifetime. I come back to them, I trust them and they didn't care about losing me. That's, that's the complaint. Because they took advantage of you. They, they changed the design. They're, they, by the look of the picture, it's a design forward company. They, they don't just sell light bulbs, they sell light. You know, they sell fixtures. They sell, they sell a look. And then you go to them and you go, oh great, you sold me on the look. I'll take three. I'm gonna design my bathroom thanks to this company and the things they found for me. And then you did it. And you got the warranty too. You said, you know what? I like this company so much that if these break, I want to be able to replace them from the same company. Then they, you trust this place to do right by you and they do wrong, they change the design. Well, that's not even wrong. Hey, the design changed. And then you say to them, well, I trusted you guys. You said you'd replace it if anything broke. Now I'm getting one light that's different than the other two. And if I'm the company, if I'm Papa Papa Lighting, you know, if I'm Mr. Light or Ms. Light or Mrs. Light, whatever it is, I'm saying, you know what, you're right. I'm going to give you these two other lights based on the deal we made. But this is kind of where the world's going. And not to be like an anti capitalist person, but the whole venture capital of it all. I don't know if there's like a person who runs this company. To me it sounds like it's owned by a big, it's just a, it's a huge company with no owner to go to that would have the emotional like this is kind of the reason. I think there's like an economics thing. I, I, the, the, where it's a owner who's not on the premises and how that changes the workplace. And I do. I do think it changes, you know, the consumer experience. Hey, let me talk to the manager. Let me talk to the owner. There is no owner. We have shareholders. Okay. So I guess I'm just fucked. I'm with you. Sucks. I'm ticked off now. Ticked off Tuesday, back next week, boom.
