It sounds like most of those are lingering complaints from previous changes? The subscriptions, video responses, etc. not from the G+ thing. Anyway, I'm not really impacted by this change, since I purposely hide YouTube comments so that I never see them, and definitely don't comment myself.

They are, the comments is just the latest one. They've been trying to push youtube users into becoming G+ users in stages now for a while. This is the first time they haven't given us a "no, I don't want to" button.
What do you mean? Give guest access for one to the other two, and boom. I have work accounts on Google (well, Piazza but it's exactly the same thing) and they get along swimmingly.

Nope. These three must absolutely not comingle in any way. Can't risk it.
I work until 1 am. My house is empty of food. I am hungry. I order a pizza from local pizza chain that is open until 2 (the time when EVERY late night place closes). 2 rolls around (about 45 minutes after I order), nothing. I call them up, of course they're closed. I call their service line and get someone who is supposedly a service manager. I tell him my issue and that it's kind of an inconvenience to just get left in the dark like this. If I'd known their company wasn't going to bother sending out my pizza, they could have called me and I could have ordered from somewhere else. He tells me they did call me. I say that's not possible, I've been next to my phone the entire time. He tells me it says they got a busy signal. Again, this isn't possible, my cell goes straight to voicemail as does my landline if they're being used(I'm a dinosaur). He says that's what it says on the order and he believes his employee. I tell him that means he's calling me a liar. He tells me he guesses he is then.
Pizza 73, you can suck my dick if you ever think you're getting a God damn red cent from me again.

Maybe you should pay them a visit during working hours

I just got a notice from Youtube that "Now your Youtube comments show up more places!"
No, I don't want my comments to show up more places. I don't want my Youtube comments showing up anywhere but Youtube! I don't want my Twitter (or anyone else's, for that matter) showing up on my Facebook. I don't want my Tumblr showing up on my Twitter. When I post somewhere it's because I want to post there, not because I want to post everywhere.

I'm sick of Youtube asking me if I want to use Youtube as my Youtube name or my real name. Every. Fucking. Time.
I'm sick of Facebook changing my feed page to be Top Stories from Most Recent. Fuck you Facebook, if I ever get to a point in my life where I want to leave it to you to decide for me what is important to me to see I'll be shortly putting a bullet in my head.
That means never.
Edit: I'd get mad at YouTube for doing this, but reading YouTube comments make me a sad panda anyways.

Constantly offer them tic tacs.
Although, in college, a guy I knew I actually had to pull aside once and tell him, "Jesse, I'm your friend, and I'm telling you this because I'm your friend, you need to brush your teeth, your breath is dead-body-in-a-swamp BAD."

I'd rather they'd just disabled comments entirely on every video forever than force Google+ into Youtube.

Our new sales weasel is very slow at figuring out we're a smaller operation than she's previously worked for. She doesn't understand why the sales manager isn't holding her hand on everything, and is surprised that that there aren't company-wide updates on things like IT problems (our e-mail system went out this morning due to DNS problems). She apparently thought that I would be sending out notices to everyone affected as soon as the issue was known (by magical unicorn mass mail, I suppose), and when it was resolved.
Ugh, I hate stomach illnesses and that one sounds the worst. Try to get better!
My sister in law went on a make it yourself binge earlier this year. One of the things she did was can her own apples. For some reason she doesn't want to just bake her own apple pie but instead try to pass them on to me. Arrogance kinda runs in my hubby's family and I'm worried that she took a short cut somewhere, or wasn't sure what she was doing and wont admit it. So far I have been putting off accepting her offer of free pie filling, but not really telling her no. I just can't think of a polite way to say "No thanks, I'm afraid you're gonna give me botulism".

The doomweasels resent being linked with anyone in sales and demand an apology.
His name is Stienman. He solves problems.
Clostridium botulinum prefers a low-acid environment. I would think the apples would be safe. However, after dealing with Salmonella (lost 15 lbs in 2 days) food poisoning, I'd say if you're worried about it then don't eat it. It ain't worth it.
After hiking around the local RenFaire one afternoon, Kati went to Emergency for debilitating abdominal pain which the urgent clinic diagnosed as possible appendicitis. A couple batteries of tests later, we learned that this was not irritable bowel nor appendicitis, rather it was just related to the bouncing of organs pulling against one another due to a lot of walking in poor shoes. Basically a straining of her visceral fascia.
Total cost? About $3200. For a tummyache. Took us almost 2 years to pay off. Married her anyway.

Yeah... my wife did something very similar last year, though it didn't involve the ER, she just went to her regular doctor. Extremely pain on the right side of her abdomen, about where the appendix is - so the doctor sent her down to imaging for a CT scan (complete with having to drink however many liters of contrast dye), they ran all of the tests, did a full panel of blood work, urinalysis, the whole 9 yards. Turned out she pulled a muscle in her abdominal wall... while she was constipated.

A few years ago I fell on the steps at work and bashed my knee on a brick. It swelled up like a cantaloupe. Doctor decided he needed two sets of Xrays and an MRI (there went that year's deductible, all told plus coinsurance about $1700), all for him to tell me to take ibuprofen and keep my weight off it. That's what I was doing anyway! Your dumb hospital just made something like $10k in shenanigans fees, the least you could have done was prescribe me something stronger like hydrocodone or tylenol 3.
But maybe he should have done more anyway... to this day I can't really kneel on that knee at all.
You know, those may have bothered me before, but that I've been inundated by a barrage of engagement photos from one of my wife's cousins, and the pregnancy ones seem cute by comparison.
No really, I need to see a picture of everyone in the wedding party holding the card asking them to be in the wedding party, in between 300 pictures of you two looking at each other in an adoring manner.

Man, our medical system be messed up. Just sayin'.I feel better about that $100 now, thanks guys.
Glad you came out of it without sacrificing too much wallet.
