All Purpose Rant Away Thread - 3.2.1 GO!

Yup, go Jays is right, I am astonished at the rudeness I endure on a daily basis, people just don't care anymore and then those people reproduce. Never ending cycle.

I am sad this happens. I am always nice to people by default unless they give me a reason not to be. But I've noticed society in general is just becoming so rude, for no reason. Breathe the wrong way and someone will be rude to you. Long lines and faces in cell phones take away our humanity?

All my great deals on Dove Men Care with coupons & rebates ... only to find out DS broke out in hives after using it

Bummer! I guess he's allergic to the ingredient(s) in the product. (Could be the parfume). If no one else can use it maybe you can donate them.
(I like Olay soap but everytime I use it, I feel itchy from head to toe).

Why do I always get attitude from other customers when I am shopping? was cashing out and there was no bar to separate my items from the next person. One of my items ends up with hers. She flips out and tells the cashier Four times that it's not hers. The cashier heard her the first time but there's no space on the conveyor belt to separate. Customer is not happy until my clearly filthy granola bars are nowhere near her kleenex boxes

So while she keeps saying "it's not mine!" I finally told her, "I know, it's mine."

I guess she thought I said "fine" instead of "mine" and she is not happy about this. She says it's definitely NOT fine. So I repeat that it is mine and she flips out again. It can't be fine, or mine and apparently no matter what I do, I am in the wrong here

Then I am finally cashed out and tell her to have a nice day. She flips out again.

Why does this crap keep happening?

Okay, besides the attitude she not suppose to put her stuff on the conveyor bell without leaving enough space between her stuffs and your stuffs. Some people are so facking impatient. She's not going anywhere until AFTER you done so should just chill and wait until there's enough space available to put her stuffs on. Sometimes I put a separator and the person behind piled their stuffs on and it fell over to my pile.

I think that has a lot to do with it. I try to always be pleasant even in unpleasant situations, it just doesn't help most situations to be rude. I also think that manners are not being taught to kids and they don't seem to have great examples to learn by, it almost seems to me that manners like grammar are becoming a lost art.

Excellent, then my children are unique as they possess both talents

There is a commercial on the radio advertising an upcoming local festival but apparently someone is very behind the times because it says it is a short shuttle ride to another local attraction which burned down in 2009, um just a little behind the times? Seriously the only thing left is the silo that did not burn other than that there is nothing there, everything was gone after the fire as at one point the flames were shooting into the air 20 ft and at one point it sounds like a bomb went off as the whole building collapsed well they were fighting the fire.

I've been waiting almost 7 months to see a specialist and was told by the referring doctor it could take 6 months to get in. Today I phoned the referring doctors office to inquire. My referral is in the system and they are waiting to hear from the specialist for a date,which they haven't yet. "Just wait for a phone call or letter." What?! If I haven't heard from the specialist office in another 3-4 weeks I'll be inquiring and phoning the specialists office. I understand it takes awhile to receive appointments, many people on the waiting list and people who could be more urgent. It just gets frustrating when your issue worsens.

Im in charge of going thru applications and hiring some seasonal staff at work and the amount of people who don't fill out an application properly is astounding...

I live on a cul-de-sac. The next-door neighbours have two live-at-home sons in their twenties. Between the four of them, they have FIVE vehicles - and the fifth one is a Hummer which has been parked on the street in front of MY house (without moving) for 5 weeks now. Apparently son #1 bought it as a winter vehicle. So he's not going to be moving it until it snows. At which time, I fear he will plunk his "summer" car in the same spot and proceed to leave it there all winter, like he did last year with an old car that died in September and became a huge snowdrift that the snowplows went around all winter.

Like every other house on the block, they have their own attached double car garage with a double car driveway in front of it, so they have room to park four vehicles on their property plus one more on the street in front of their property. But no, for some reason the boys have to park their 3 extra cars on the street in front of everyone else's place. Which leaves no room for visitors or delivery people to park, or even for service vehicles to get in when needed.

I have my own garage and driveway, so I don't actually "need" the spot on the street in front of my house... and I know I don't "own" it...but I sure would like to be able to have some room for guests to be able to park there one or two nights of the year... and it would be nice to be able to look out my front window just once and see the actual view rather than a big honking Hummer.

OK, rant over.

I need to do this too, my ring size changed after pregnancy and never went down. it fits around my finger but very difficult to get it over my knuckle.

Oy! Check with your city for bylaws.
Here, it's a 48 hour park - they will come out to chalk the tires, then ticket/tow.

FLEAS!! Somehow we got FREAKING FLEAS!! I don't take my dogs to public places and let them mingle with other dogs so I know we didn't them from that. So I had to pay $200.00 for meds for 4 dogs and 2 cats. Plus it turns out my Pomeranian is allergic to the bites rather than just being annoyed by the bites like the other dogs. I had to shave off her long beautiful coat which broke my heart. I only hope her coat will grow back
