Custom Hand Built $4000 bass gets dropped right when it was reaching its final assembly

I commissioned a Luthier (guitar builder) to craft my dream bass fully customized from the ground up.

Right when he was doing the final setup (basically completed) he dropped it and it shattered. This was after 2 years in the making

This has a semi happy ending luckily. By God's grace it was still repairable after the drop due to the way it cracked. I had to wait 6 more months for the Crack repair plus the refinishing of Nitrocellulose (it takes a while to cure)

I actually have the bass now, but not without some battle scars on the bottom (and some slightly gummed up nitro). It is still absolutely beautiful and makes for a great story

Never felt my heart drop like that in my life. the news being delivered was brutal. Thankfully he is amazing at his job and was able to recover it after a while. I did get $500 off as well

The third picture was the bass before the drop (the nitrocellulose gloss in the 3rd had to be sanded off to start over with the repair)

Please charge me for something I didn't want and make sure my food is extra cold!

Idk if I have to blur the email if it's a no-reply corporate email... It's not my freaking fault it's out of stock! Don't charge me for your lack of stock?? They can't be that desperate for a dollar and fifty two cents. I can't even get a mocha with my order, then they have the audacity to charge me for it without me knowing and tell me after the fact.

Oh hell no!! My food just got here and it's cold. So I got charged for something I didn't ask for and the items I did ask for are cold. Great. I haven't eaten for a whole 24 hours so this just makes it that much more infuriating.

Edit: Five hours later, I'm getting refunded 6 dollars. Yay...?

Second edit: I already deleted the app, put a bad review, and stated in previous comments that I will not be using food delivery services anymore! Please stop telling me things I already know. I've said it before, I am a minor that doesn't know how to drive yet. It was 2am. I could not go to the McDonald's to get my food! /nm

Fridge ice maker left a gift in my cold water

It's hot here and I really wanted cold water for my dancing class. I wasn't sure if it was safe to drink screw water, so I had to throw it away and replace it with pisswarm tap water from their bathroom sink.

At least I saw it before drinking so I didn't swallow it or choke on it and die (which would've been slightly more than mildly infuriating)

Schools celebrating perfect attendance

Some of the kids I coach with got perfect attendance awards from the school today. They don't deserve an award for that, it shouldn't be an award. This year, each of these kids has attended school while sick. So instead of rewarding kids who don't willfully spread illness through the school community they're giving awards to those who can't be bothered to care about their fellows enough to stay home.

Amazon now has tipping options

I believe it's only on the "lightning" (get it within 1-3 hours) delivery, but amazon now asks if you want to tip your driver??

tipping culture is getting ridiculous in the US. like a suburban SAHM I almost just placed the order and then caught myself like "hold on, what is this?"

That apostrophe is killing me. "Don't talk to cop's" what? If you're doing apostrophes, why didn't you put one in "dont"

Wanted to see if I could solve a physics problem under 3 minutes. The "update" took 20 minutes.

Why does a clock even need an update!? What new features can you possibly be adding ffs are you gonna give me an extra hour or some shit? I rarely open the clock app on my PC and when I do this is the shit that I'm greeted with. WHY THE FUCK DOES A CLOCK APP, WHICH ONLY NEEDS A CLOCK, A STOPWATCH, A TIMER, AND A WORLD CLOCK, NEED A GODDAMN UPDATE?!
