A chilly beef to a local furnace repair company. When I called about a heat pump not working, I was told to call back in an hour. When I called back, they were closed for the holidays.
a reminder beef to some drivers. Please stop and look to your right before making a right hand turn. I almost got hit four times in one day on my four-wheel scooter. Thanks to the drivers who wait and give you time to cross the road.
An unfortunate beef to the family that placed a third child in the bottom of their two-seater baby stroller, where there is only room for blankets or diapers. The stroller’s seats were filled already and the third child’s body was badly contorted – all you could see was his little head sticking out trying to see where he was.
a bad karma beef to businesses that are trying to profit off people’s New Year’s resolutions. I’m sick of all the advertisements promising weight loss, financial stability, etc. January is just another month – who makes resolutions anymore?
A crusty beef to the major grocery store that sold me a loaf of bread that went mouldy within days, but wouldn’t allow me to exchange it for a fresh loaf. Bad business and I won’t be back.
