Assholes who don’t so much as nod their head or tip their cap when you let them merge in traffic- like you are required to let them in!!!
The idoit Sears salesperson. I didn’t even realise you worked in the electronics department. I just figured You were some moron on your sell phone blabing about your relationship problems. I identified the radio I wanted. Since Sears doesn’t keep them availible I needed a employee to get me one. I stood around in the isle waiting for an employee to come by.
Eventualy one did. I asked if they could get me the radio. They called over to your stupid ass and said a customer needed assistance.
You got off your cell phone and got the radio for me. Then brought it to the register were you could ring me up. I asked if you knew what size batteries it took. You said I don’t think it takes batteries. I said I know it does. Rather then taking the effort to look at the freaking box and read it.(I couldn’t he was very protective of the box) He responded I think it takes C’s. He then continued to ring it up. I wanted to buy the batteries to you moron! I gave up on that idea. I just paid.
The rebate form didn’t finish printing because your registar ran out of tape. You tried just pass it off to me. I asked if he could put more tape in machine so I could get the rebate. He told me I could go online to get it. Then he just walked away.
Could you have tried any harder to be incompitent?
I tried that pit apparently a number of dopers feel you are wrong for letting them merge. One stated he would accept the offer but flip you off for doing so. I hate people who can’t give a fucking thank you wave. I hate stupid dopers who argue I shouldn’t let people merge.
And one of the hunters…wasn’t insured!
One size does not fricking fit all!
I wear a size small (or XS). I have been to four recent events (fundraisers, blood donation, etc) where I have been handed a free XL shirt, the only size they bothered to print. I don’t want your damn XL t-shirts! I’m not into flashing my chest to the world every time I move my arms, and I’m not going to wear it as a dress. Could you at least consider that some of us are smaller than others?
Yeah, I know, griping about something that’s free is lame. They can keep the shirts, I just wish they’d stop pretending that they fit everyone.
Ooooo a minor rants thread. This is great 'cause I’m annoyed but this is really minor.
So I’m nice enough today to let Windows run the updates that it has been begging to run. Then I start watching a ballgame on MLB.TV. Every 10 to 15 minutes it pops up asking me to restart. There’s no way to get it to stop doing it. I’d like to meet the fucker that programmed it this way and kick him/her in the ass.
I’ve been teaching for a long time now. Hell, I’ve been teaching for longer than some of you administrator fucks have had your jobs. I’ve gotten consistently good teaching evaluations. When you had new co-ordinators, I had to teach them how different lab curricula worked and tell them what needed to be improved. I helped them run the weekly TA meetings. I frigging ran some of the university-level orientation sessions a few years ago.
So why the HELL did I have to go to an all-day orientation session for TAs? Do you really feel that I need an intro to teaching when I’ve been doing it longer than almost everyone else here, including the staff who are making me sit through my eight hours of tooth-numbing boredom?
I had to waste an entire day of pretty precious time (I’m graduating this quarter–cross your fingers), on a workday, when I could be doing an awful lot of much more important things, sitting through a steaming crapload of condescending BULLSHIT.
I am quite aware that the grades must be posted on time. I know very well that you don’t date your students. I realize that you don’t let anyone eat or drink in the lab, and that comments that make students feel harrassed or threatened aren’t a good idea. So does everyone else who’s about teach for you. Notice the bored, irritated, and resentful looks on everyone’s faces?
Why did we have this collosal waste of time? And why were we told that, if we didn’t show up, we couldn’t work? Why? Why? Why?
I can’t imagine how huge those shirts must be on a petite female: I’m 6’3" 200# and those darned shirts I get from vendors and conferences are all too floppy and huge on me. I wear them only for painting and other home repairs. Of course, they are free, but that usually means that they are huge, cheap, ugly, and perfect for paint splatters.
Dear Mobil Auto Club
When you charged the dues for the next year’s membership to my credit card in April I called you to report that as I had just had the vehicle I used to own I no longer had need for an Auto Club membership. You seemed to grasp the logic involved in my request and agreed to cancel the membeship and credit my account for the $59.95.
I understand that perhaps I had been lax in not following up immediately when the promised credit did not show up on the following month’s bill. When I did remember to call today, I was not terribly surprised to be told that you had no record of my earlier request. However, I was surprised when you said that you could only give me credit for $37 for the “unused balance” of my membership.
What’s up with razor commercials. How do we know the razor works if the face to be shaved is pre-shaved.
I’ve mentioned this before, but it bears repeating:
Stop sneezing into your goddamn hands! You’re making it worse!
I pit myself for not getting better insurance coverage on my teenage daughters’ car. I have two teenagers. Both of them needed reliable transportation. My son was previously driving one of our older vehicles but had gotten in a couple minor fender benders. I wanted him to have a safer car so I co-signed a loan for him, forgetting about the fact that he would have to have full coverage on a car that was financed. I pay $290.00 a month….yes a month on his insurance. Now back to my daughter. She is seventeen and a very good student. I have told all my children that if they maintain an A-B average I will buy them a car. So before school started I went out looking for a car in the 3000.00 range. After looking it was determined that for only a couple thousand more I could get her a much , much nicer car.
After much discussion, my husband and I decide to take the last of our saving and buy her the vehicle. After all she works two jobs and is active in a few after school activities. We both decide that with our work schedules it will be nice not to have to chauffeur her any longer.
Because I pay so much on my sons insurance I decide to buy her liability and medical only. Forward to a week and a half after if buy the car. She makes a left hand turn out of a bank, and gets hit by a driver who only had his license since May. The most important thing is that everyone is uninjured and walk away from the accident, but her car is totaled (Unless I want to pay close to 10,000 to fix it) I still haven’t been sent the title, plates or permanent insurance card yet, and the car is junk.
I am out five grand, that I could have done so much with, like paying off my husbands medical bills (but that’s another story) heck I could have went to Vegas and had a blast gambling. Because I was too cheap to spring for more insurance I basically just threw all that money down the shitter, and now I’m stuck driving her around again (she’s not driving my car)
I am such an idiot.
Lock the doors and don’t let them out until they say thank you. 
Fuck my friend/roommate that thinks it’s too much trouble to drive a mile down the road and get a few Frosties for me after I had my wisdom teeth out yesterday. I say a few because then I could freeze them and not have her make the trip an excessive amount of times. Apparently she forgot about the time I sat in the ER with her for nearly 24 fucking hours and then paid for her prescriptions because she was broke, and went and got her everything she needed. I don’t feel well enough to yell so all I said was, "Oh well, I guess it’s ok if you say you need to get your hair done now. :rolleyes: "
Luckily, another friend happens to be in town to visit her boyfriend, so she went entirely out of her way to get me something I could actually eat.
Why didn’t I plan ahead of time, you say? I had a bunch of Slim-Fasts in the fridge but apparently my roommate threw them out recently because no one had drank them. Hmmm maybe because I’ve known this was coming for a month and a half and decided that I would save them for now? And how lovely that you didn’t tell me you threw MY shit out.
Oh and yesterday, when I threw up 8 times because I couldn’t even keep down water as a result of the general anesthesia, and therefore ended up clogging my toilet with tissue because I was too out of it to flush in between heaves? And then for my next round of puking I had to throw up in yours, and you were disgusted, but wouldn’t let me use the only plunger in the apartment to fix my toilet? Fuck you very much!
I feel much better now.
Go to your programs menu and find ‘system restore’ in the tools menu. You should be able to restore to an earlier, stable environment. Then, disable automatic updates on your control panel and ignore everything MS sends you in the future.
Or, disable the automatic restart. There are a few of ways to do this, here are a couple…

Have you ever smelled four 12 and 13 year-old boys at once?
:barfie smiley needed:
Qwisp, that’s horrible! Something similar happened to my brother last year – he totaled his car just days after having $1,500 in repairs/maintenance done. I’m glad your daughter wasn’t hurt.
My fuckity fuckwit fucking spinelessboss who instructed me to write a “formal request for support” to the “home office”, reviewed it, added yet more formal language and then cleared and sent it under my name. When the “home office” got it, bigger boss called my boss and said he felt the tenor of the letter was “less than collegial.” My fuckity fuckwit fucking spineless boss, rather than saying “I instructed her to make it formal, added language myself and cleared it.” said instead “I’m really sorry. I’ll talk to her about it and make sure it doesn’t happen again.” FUCKHEAD!!!
I feel better now.
Which Alpine Bank? Horizon, Clifton, or the one by Home Depot? I want to watch!
