All Purpose Rant Away Thread - 3.2.1 GO!

@heartgirl99 Hydro one is known to do that. They call it "delivery fee." And if you complain about it, that's the end of that. They don't care. Even if it's $1000 (which has happened). No reasoning with them that everything is actually unplugged so how could this be. It's arbitrary. Different people on the block pay different amounts. There are protesters at Queen's Park very often because of it, but the government hasn't done anything about it, I think. There is an ombudsman investigation I believe

There is actually a minimum charge to keep the lines maintained and service to the property. Sucks, but that is the way it is.

okay here is my rant
I have neighbours that we put up with
-first we build a deck -my hubby did took 3 months as he did it all by himself -had to tear down the old one too
-neighbour decided to come over as he hubby just has the frame work or beams in the ground neighbour says" do you have the bounce factor down incase you have 20-30 people on the deck" huuuuuh
-then I put tiny white rocks around the deck in sept and he says to me "you need to put a border around or the weeds will get thru " I may work on it next spring
-its not like we are 20 and bought our first house -we are in our 50's and its our second house


-well fast forward to the other day -we just had a garage door installed(as ours was 33 years old and broke ) -looks very nice too -well as the tradesmen were working all afternoon I expected my neighbour to come and chat with them as hubby was at work (nope)

-it snowed Friday night -and sat morning we went in the car to pay for the garage door to the business gone maybe 30 minutes -so hubby around 4.00 p.m looks out at the lovely snow and we see footprints from neighbours house right over to our garage door -we sure did laugh ( I guess he had to see the workmanship all for himself )
-you have to laugh cause some neighbours can drive you up the wall

Snow is gone (yay, yesterday morning was ok but the walk in the afternoon was icy) but all the beverage containers and food packaging that customers leave on sidewalks, green spaces and benches are too much.

Noticed at the college that some folks dropped their Tim Hortons cups on the ground within 2m of a garbage can...

I guess you know what NOT to get her next year. Ungrateful. *HUGS

I bought my MIL a cemetery plot one year, and the next year I didn't get her anything. When she asked me why I didn't get her anything I told her it was because she didn't have the decency to use the gift I got her last year.

Kidding, a joke I heard somewhere.

we have someone at our building who does that.. they leave their tim hortons cup on the ledge on the pathway up to our building.. a new one every day! they are often half full and they just collect until the building caretaker (aka my hubby) comes along and tosses them all.. only for them to build back up again... it floors me that people think it's ok just to leave their unfinished paper cups aka trash just sitting around (especially infront of where they live!) and expect someone else to deal with them

[seylz_gurl]

^or leave them in shopping carts along with their dirty Kleenex and other detritus. on the bright side found an empty mickey d's coffee cup with the sticker still on it as payment for cleaning up after someone. same jokers that leave their shopping carts flying around the parking lot.

[SassyAshley]

In our complex they leave their cups (Tim's, Macdonalds) in the parking lot. You can see they opened their door put it on the ground and drove away. This is usually done when they are just mere steps from the dumpster. I heard one neighbour once yell at someone who yelled back I am not getting out of my car to walk to the dumpster and said it is now someone else's problem.

My rant, I went to the bank Friday to deposit some cheques, I hate going to my bank so I usually wait till I have a few. I was quickly reminded why I hate my bank. Standing in line minding my own business.
When one of the staff members comes over and ask me what I was there,
I say to deposit some cheques,
her response that can be done at the bank machine you do not to see a teller
I say thank you I know but I prefer to see a teller as I do not want a hold put on my cheques
Her response well why don't you go try it and than come back and we can see if there is a hold
I ask what if they are held
Her response well then you know for next time
Really seriously, it is the Christmas season most people need every penny they can get, this could seriously mess someone up finacially

[Arvilish]

Fking ashole!

Stop fking harassing me...I hate you!

[Cake]

I would like to post some deals to CO 51 but I can't find the thread. So I'm posting a rant instead...LOL.

[momgoneawol]

People who do not know the difference between selling something and wanting something. If you post a WANTED ad on kijiji it means you are LOOKING for something, in need of, wanting to buy X item, NOT selling item. Drives me nuts. If I had more time I would message them saying I had X item for sale just to waste their time like mine is when I am searching and viewing their ads.

Boxing Day is approaching and I really miss Target.

That's not too bad (nosy and annoying) compare to my area (some neighbours are pure nightmares). Loud stereos (louder than club music) every single day at anytime, some people have no idea what consideration means. Fighting, drugs (producing, selling, & consuming), partying, drunk rage, theft, smoking, talking loudly after midnight, loud music. Throw garbage and snow from their's to next door neighbours. Let their 4 legs friend pee and poop on your lawn.

[Candini]

My rant is to upcoming Xmas dinner with my family. Holy smokes is it going to be a sh*t show! I'll call it the Griswold's Candini Christmas.

My grandmother, god love her, has lost her memory over the past two months. I visited her recently. She got a lifeline necklace and explained to me three times that its in between these (pointing to her chest)

She also complained to me how the home care nurse does a shotty job at bathing her , uh , you know..

None of my family members get along, all talk gossip of each other but grin and bare their company.

I haven't drank in a long time but I feel that this Christmas will end my sober streak.
