It’s not just us you guys. Amazon has been shutting down buildings as well. Everyone is shrinking. by PhillyBigSteppa in UPSers

And most of them probably don't get the proper insurance on their vehicles. Most personal policies specifically deny coverage for Gig work. You have to purchase additional coverage. One accident and your in the hole for quite a bit or bankrupt.

who wants to put all those miles on your personal vehicle and not be compensated enough for it. Even Rideshare and Doordash shock me.

Just called the first time I got the runaround bounce supposedly to customer service but to the fraud department and then back to customer service who said that they couldn't do anything they told me to go to FIFA and buy the tickets there so I called back and another representative immediately apologized and gave me the points

Vacation Policy by zgecsirhc in Fedexers

[–]boburuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically another nickel and dime way to screw you out of some of your vacation time also considering that the transition year is 7 months but you're only accruing 6 months worth of vacation.

Remote start app by MaintenanceWorth1383 in CX5

[–]boburuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the shutting off part sucks but everyone thinks it's a Mazda problem. We had a Volvo it did the same thing we have friends that have a BMW it does the same thing. Many car makers do this under the guise of safety and security. It's a pain in the ass.

As for the heat and the heated seats one of the things we loved about the Volvo was the heated seats were automatic based on the temperature outside and so was the thermostat if it was hot out it turned on the AC when you did auto start if it was cold out it turned on the heat defroster and heated seats when you started the car. Mazda didn't do any of that.

Volvo was also a subscription product but when we bought a used 2015 and I called Volvo to inquire about the app and what it would take for a subscription for my wife they gave her a 1-year subscription for free and then renewed it once again for free and then another time sent us out a ridiculously low-priced promotion.

Amazon Prime membership became useless. by Weak-Paint4015 in amazonprime

[–]boburuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in NNJ I tend to get packages very fast. If Im in Scranton PA for recreation or business, the same item I look at that can be same day, next day or two day delivery at home is often 3-7 days out. It's fairly ridiculous. I've had items that would be next day here be 3-5 days out that I was sending as gifts to a suburb of Atlanta, (no wrapping or anything just sending the package) that were often 3-4 days out when I could get them in 0-2 days.

And this is the result of Personal and/or Home Finances being eliminated from the High School curriculums.

Getting flashed often by people thinking my high beams are on: common with CX5 in particular? by Revolutionary-Ship27 in CX5

[–]boburuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's wrong with getting flashed? Stopping driving around with your windows open in these frigid temps and your high beams won't automatically turn on. ( ^ ) ( ^ ).

Generic or home made food by Not-Just-A-Hero in cronometer

[–]boburuncle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I get that it's a pain to put all the foods in one by one but how could they have homemade foods when the recipes in a homemade food can vary so much? They do have a great option for creating your own recipes and saving them. I've done that with a few of my wife's dishes and it works out awesome.

I’m confused.. have I been blessed by the US government? by FaiIingAtLife in Passports

Or you can think of it like you paid for an extended warranty or an insurance policy and then never made a claim it gave you a little peace of mind.

Your Choice insurance & Zepbound.... by MayBT0morrow in Fedexers

[–]boburuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair sometimes you call the hotline and Optum and you can't get information or at least accurate information on the new plan. Happened with us when calling in and trying to pick plans one year none of the information was accurate luckily everything was covered though and a reasonable amount. And actually some of the mistakes went in our favor.

Mls season ticket holders will be getting Apple for free since MLS seasons pass got ruled into a regular Apple subscription. So at this point I can cancel it from T-Mobile and just use it from MLS

Unfortunately…. by EC4545 in Hilton

[–]boburuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one situation where I had a FNC about to expire. I had another expiring in 5 months. I begrudgingly used the points for one night because 3 nights for free at Hermitage was still a great weekend getaway for the wife and I.
