My motherfucking stapler. It has one function in its life, to staple things. It isn’t a tough job. It should not only perform that function one out of every two or three times I attempt to use it. ---

DirecTV, please don’t send any more non-English speaking latinos to my home. I don’t speak Spanish. Without the ability to communicate the problem, it is highly-unlikely that it will be resolved. ---

Fuck timesheets. They’re bad enough as it is without having to use Time Disciple, the shittiest piece of software imaginable. Fuck Time Disciple up the rectum with a rusty chainsaw. Just had to say that after wasting a morning struggling with that unusable piece of shit. ---

Because I’m convinced Timeslips was written by rhesus monkeys on crack. And my boss’ timesheets have some run-on sentences that would even make William Faulkner cringe. ---

The guy who parked his gigantic Ford truck in the middle of \* four parking spaces\* has got some balls, I tell ya. Not even in the parking lot boonies, that I can forgive. He took up four primo spots on a busy day right next to the closest cart return. I honestly was tempted to park perpendicular to his truck in the space left across two of the spots. But I figured it was a large psycho guy who would attack me or something, don’t want that. People in the lot stopped and stared at it. I was almost expecting a mob to form around it, but alas, no pitchforks. I did notice people weren’t being too careful about getting their carts in the corral though. (Oops, did that cart roll away toward your truck? So sorry…) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-about-another-mini-rant-thread/398705.md?page=9)
