All Purpose Rant Away Thread - 3.2.1 GO!

this was just too funny to even bother getting riled up over but I wanted to post it to share the ridiculousness of it with y'all.
At GT...pm-ing strawberries from FB
Cashier examines both the flyer and the pkg of berries intently...REALLY looking back and forth to them, then says " I can't pm these "
uh.....why I asked ?
because the flyer says product of USA and these berries say product of California

....I thought I was gonna pee myself....but said " you do realize California is IN the USA don't you? "
She looks bewildered and calls out to " Sheila " ( not her real name because I forget who she yelled for )
Sheila asks her if the weight is the same, is the flyer the right date.......yes and yes....but she shares her concern that these say USA and these say California...and Sheila rolls her eyes and says they are o.k. to pm

I believe you may have met a time traveler from 1849...

Thanks, @bhlombardy ! I was trying to log into CTVonline and hit the wall of providers without Cogeco listed. Will try to sign up for TSN and get the red card (denied) or the green card (entry).

i don't care if your orange peels and banana peels are compostable.. it's still not OK to throw them out your window to let them rot on the lawn..

I was laying in bed here when the whole floors power went out then back on. Of course my AC was running at the time so I had reset it to desired coldness and all my clocks while listening to them beep incessantly as the power went off and then on again. And waited 20mins for my modem to reload. Gah!

Another grip or rant I have is that it was community kitchen last night and took it us over 3 1/2hours to cook one meal. Someone’s complaint was the meat was still frozen all I could say was “oh well, it’s not the end of world!” Then there reply was “you got to be joking we’re going to be here a millennia!” I looked at them at them and scowled. the staff who was on was barking orders as though she knew more then me sunk the ship literally. We put the potatoes on last to mash and did everything backwards so the Sheppard’s pie literally took 3 1/2 hours from prepping to cooking then eating. I never took that long to prep/assemble/cook/eat. If I did I wouldn’t have a job cooking. I felt like when I first started culinary art college certain people were slow as molasses and now this just reminded me of it all the stupidity of it. Ugh!

Very disappointed! About 6 weeks ago I was getting gas at superstore. Went in to pay. There was a young women in front of me very distraught because she lived out of town was out of gas and forgot her wallet at home and had no way to pay for her gas. I felt bad for her so I asked how much gas she needed to get home. $40. So I said I would pay and she could mail me a cheque. She seemed very grateful. She took my info and even texted me thanking me and called me to tell me she would mail me money that night. 6 weeks later still haven’t received the money. I’m not going to bug her about it and I knew at the time that there was a risk of not getting money but felt it was the right thing to do.

UPDATE: after being pissed off about this I finally decided to bug her re the money... long story short I finally got my money late last week.

Today seems to be the happy medium, @Linda Evans ! Now I just need to find a World Cup viewing area (HPL Central has one I found out today on Twitter) so I can catch a game this week.

trying to catch up with trades and go through my coupons that I still have to trade.
hubby had a week off last week - yes we went to the USA to see the Dead and Company
but with him home - all he wanted was to spend time together and then cleaning up after him.
Glad he is back to work

wasn't there a story on here years back about trying to get free lettuce when you buy bacon bits and the cashier wouldn't accept it because romaine isn't a lettuce according to her?

Neighbors and their trigger happy pesticide using fingers and ALWAYS when the wind is blowing my way. <insert string of bad words here>

I posted a P&G freebie for Quebec only from bzzAgent on another forum. So this guy from Alberta tells people not to bother because he was not accepted. I answered that my post was for QC only if he had read my post properly.

Then this other guy who sees this as an opening to continue the attack. He is acting like Donald Trump going into a tirade (look up the definition of tirade). He is blaming me with foul language because he was disqualified because he didn't want to follow the rules of agreement. He is acting like an entitled child who didn't get any Hallowe'en candy for not saying Trick or Treat. If you are not accepted, move on, you don't need to get nasty.

So these posters are getting thumbs up for speaking against me and I get thumbs down for sharing. This is gang mentality at its worst. Absolutely nobody came to my defense. I will never share anything with them again.

I told my family, friends, neighbours, my DD told her co-workers, my DS told his girlfriend who told her family and friends, and nobody had problems getting in, so I don't know what that guy's problem was but apparently it's my fault.
