Earlier this week I arrived at an apartment in a SoCal city. I immediately noticed the AC wasn’t functioning. While the host responded via the app on an unrelated issue, she ignored inquiries from me and VRBO about the AC. I suspected it was a known issue and she didn’t want to deal with it. Fortunately, I got moved to hotel for one night and then to a nicely run VRBO property nearby. I am grateful to VRBO for the quick refund, but at first it was like pulling teeth and a bit contentious. I could have done without that and they should realize more quickly that customers don’t make these complaints because we have nothing better to do.

As of August 1, 2026, the New York Mets are 16–47 in games in which the opposing team scores first.

Ordered and sent a gift to a friend across the country. Got email and photo delivery confirmation on Sunday. When the friend opened the package, it wasn’t the item I purchased for her. She of course will drop it off at an Amazon affiliate, but what will Amazon say when they see it’s not the item that corresponds to the order number?

I have been in touch with Amazon phone support, and they told me not to worry about and my refund will be processed. Should I be skeptical?

Also, what likely happened here, honest error or employee malfeasance? TYIA.

I watched them steadily deteriorate and finally canned them this week. I didn’t have dial tones on my landlines for seven weeks—and they kept billing me. Then two weeks ago the internet went out. They set up appointments then cancelled them with no explanation. The second time they told me they had no record of a ticket number they gave me. The customer service reps, especially at the foreign call centers, are complete imbeciles. So glad to be rid of them.

It was a one-hit wonder that I thought captured the summer mood in the Chesapeake area.

Really, I was not paying full attention and I thought his yelling was about a Met hit.
