I thought this would have been fine in the daily chit chat thread, that's were I've been posting my rants.....but this is definitely a thread where I'll feel right at home.

 

I hate vent and rant threads.

 

I hate people who hate vent and rant threads.

Also I hate that I had to wake up at 8AM for work on Saturday.

I also feel like people (idiots) are even worse at driving in the morning. Some idiot almost rear-ended me today, and another was driving so slow when the road was a single lane that I felt my body age.

 

THIS!!!

They need to raise the speed limits. By at least 30 to 40 mph in some places. And there will be FEWER accidents as a result. Here's why: when driving at 35mph on a beautiful back road, people get bored. Their eyes wander. They play with the radio. They text. And they lose focus on the road so when the time comes when they need to see and obstacle, they don't. So they hit it. Me, on the other hand, I drive 70-80 on most back roads (braking for the corners, obviously) so I have no time to lose focus. I am constantly driving. I have to slow down if I want to change the song on my iphone. lol.

If they raised the speed limits, even just to 60 or 70 on the back roads and 100 on highways (which sounds like a lot, but I did it every single day when I worked in Pittsburgh. You get used to it.) there wouldn't be nearly as many dickheads texting and being distracted while driving. And THOSE are the ones who cause accidents. The guy who rear-ended me had to be texting. I was parked at a red light on a perfectly straight road and he saw me so late he barely touched his brakes. You don't do that if you're paying attention. I, on the other hand, have never had an accident or even a close call in the dry, and the one accident I did have was due to bad weather and shitty front tires on a front wheel drive car.

 

I hate people who say they stand up for individual rights and opinions but buckles under pressure and fires someone for a private phone call which had private opinions.
My college president does this. She is the biggest hypocrite.

 

I think he's actually just super sarcastic. *shrugs*

 

Catch me tomorrow. .. starting tomorrow I'll be bitching for at least 4 days straight. . Probably more. ..

 

Thanks. I prefer the term "tongue-in-cheek" humor myself. Or maybe it's irony, venting about a thread about venting. Worked pretty well the last time:

Oh, and the word I use is "kvetch". Maybe I should stop bringing the Yiddish.


Edited to change "Or" to "Oh".

 

Like you said, kvetchas gonna kvetch!

 

^ Run !!!!

 

I wish I could just plow through people at the grocery store with my cart, like so:



P.S. this gif is not funny and I really hope all these folks are ok.

 

Fixed.

 

LOL oh Nate. Deep down inside I know you're a big softy! But seriously they just f*ckin are so self-unaware. Let me stand totally in the middle of the aisle so that nobody can pass by on either side. Or let me walk at a snails pace because I'm checking my phone. Or let me just come shooting out of an aisle into carts of people going a completely different direction. Grocery stores need stop signs. LIKE WTF>!>!>!>!>Q#$TQW$%HWHR would you do that in your car?!?!?!?!?! JERKS!

 

I completely agree. I hate when other people waste my time. I've thought about carrying something to deal with them. Nothing lethal, just enough to make them gtfo my way. Like, poking them in the sides with a thumbtack. Or one of those buzzer things that shocks you when you shake somebody's hand. Or a boxcutter. Er, I mean. Yeah, the thumbtack would work good.

 

Down here in Texas everyone says darlin' or sweetie, but if that's not the norm I could see how that would get on your nerves! I'm a teacher, so in the summers when I'm not working I like to go grocery shopping on a Tuesday morning around 10:00. It's so nice!! Nobody there. I get to take my time and check out all the products. I usually get first dibs on things that run out quickly. Ahhh, summer.
