And here it is, June 2nd, and not even a mini rant thread for the month. Have all our problems been solved? 
All, except for mine, apparently.
It has occurred to me that people who design public restrooms apparently don’t wash their faces. How do I know this? Because you can’t dry your face on a fuckin’ hand blower, goddammit.
Give me back my fuckin’ paper towels.
Gah! Government Departments suck! I keep getting treated as guilty until proven innocent by their stupid automated responses making errors.
Instead of asking me first, they automatically suspended my payments and then demanded I explain myself afterwards. What’s particularly egregious is in this case I did everything right beforehand, and I still get dinged! Their fault, and I get punished for it! Argh!
That’s some extreme splash back!
Or monumentally poor aim in the first place.
Naw, it was just some damned good, albeit greasy and BBQ-y, ribs. Go in the bathroom, wash hands and face, and there’s a damned hand dryer, one of those extremely useless ones where the funnel only points down so they can blow water all over your legs and feet.
If anyone wants my dog, I’ll sell him. I’m asking for seven dollars, OBO.
The week before last, I came home from work to find a couple of mostly-dried puddles of dark brown poop in the middle of my living room carpet. I cleaned them up by hand the best I could, and kept trying for several days after, but the stains remained, and the area still smelled of poop.
I may have lost those battles, but I was not about to lose the war. On Saturday, I took the dog to daycare and boarded him overnight. My wife took the kids out to her parent’s and they spent the night. (I can’t remember the last time I spent a night completely alone! Holy crap.) I rented a carpet cleaner and went to work. Not one to do half-measures, I moved all of the furniture and cleaned the carpets in the whole house, then I cleaned the whole house because what the hell. That shit is exhausting. The whole family came home Sunday night to a pristine house. It was glorious.
Tuesday I came home from work to find a couple piles of dog puke in the middle of my living room carpet.
So, one dog (good condition). Seven dollars, OBO.
Maybe look on Craigslist for a used crate for sale?
Crating him did cross my mind… 
He’s fine. He’s just been a little sick and has a sensitive stomach. Can’t really be mad at him. I was just like, dude, give me a break here.
Well, I was going to spend that seven dollars on an old carpet.
Unless you’ve got one you’d throw in…
Our house is tile throughout but we do have an area rug in the living room. My big yellow dummy cat will run through the whole house when he’s about to hack up a fur ball so he can place it on the area rug. Carefully on the lightest part of the rug. If you sell your dog, maybe we could throw in (heh throw) a free cat.
Not only was no one bothered by anything until the second half of June-So-Far, but half the posts are about one poopy-pukey dog!
Did everyone get well-adjusted or what? C’mon, (mini) rant a bit!
Hey, I couldn’t dry my just-washed face after filling my stomach full of rib goodness. Have a heart! 
For some unknown reason I drove through the garage door. Minor damage to the truck. Replace the antenna…500 bucks, the garage door and opener 1500. Don’t know what happened:confused:
Maybe they took away the paper towels because some moron kept trying to flush them, like someone I apparently work with. Seriously, there are signs all over work telling people not to do stuff that anyone with half a brain should be able to figure out anyway. “Do not flush paper towels!” “Do not put food in the sink that does not have a garbage disposal!” “Do not put trash in the recycling bins!” People are either stupid or lazy, I guess.
My rant is people who take a simple comment and misconstrue it or are just looking for a fight. I live in Oregon and it is not uncommon to have the temp be mild one day and hotter than hell the next. That’s what we’ve been seeing as of late. The meteorologists have predicted a zero percent chance of rain for the next week. Also record heats reaching 100 degrees this weekend. So when I woke up to a wet covered patio I thought “WTH. Did I set the wrong start time on my sprinkler system”? I posted this on my FB and now I’m getting responses like “Hey, it’s Oregon. Deal”. Not my point. Read my post ! Sheeeeesh.
As a fellow devoted pet owner, I very much recommend you buy one of these: BISSELL Little Green Portable Spot and Stain Cleaner, 1400M - Walmart.com
They work well and it’s SO much easier to spot-shampoo than move furniture and clean the whole room.
My June rant is about developers who first ask us business analysts what the business rules are for a project and then in the review meetings debate them with us and tell us what they should be.

And I think Mythbusters did a thing, showing they spread germs?
My Rant- my knee fucking hurts. Went down too many goddamn stairs yesterday, old football injury hurts like hell.
Hmm, looks good. Our Senior cat is now 19 and sometimes forgets about litter boxes. 
But what can you do, he’s* nineteen* for fucks sake.
I wouldn’t mind if every goddamned restroom either had no door or a door you could push open from the inside. I hate washing my hands and then having to touch a handle with no paper towels handy.
Cats do that. I’ve even had cats who would come in from outside, use the litterbox, and go right back out.
