If you want comments that relate to actual events, maybe you should include those events in your OP next time?
It wasn’t a rant. It was a crybaby boo-hooing about nothing at all. I’ve heard better from a one year old with diaper rash. You’re embarassing yourself. Let the thread die.
I didn’t want comments that related to actual events . . . I was just reacting to criticism based on un-actual events. Like I mentioned before . . . it was a rant, not a dissertation. I was just blowing off steam.
I can’t, I want my mommy. Go fuck yourself.
What, you never learned to summarize? Use false names? I.e., the old “and then Bob (not his real name) said …” business.
Yea, it’s a good thing you don’t want to post details that could come back to bite you. That’s just being prudent. But if you’re going to post a rant that says nothing more than “so-and-so was a bitch”, then expect to get called on it, man.
So are we.
All together now kids, “Roboto! You are a fuckwit!”
ahhhhhh Much nicer!
Frankly, at my age, I’ll be fairly spent after I’m through with her. How about I fuck you sister tomorrow and we’ll call it even? Ya fuckwit.
What’s wrong with saying “so-and-so was a bitch”? So-and-so was a bitch, and I wanted to tell her to her face that I thought so, but instead I wrote it down in the pit, which was a far more prudent thing to do.
I didn’t realize when you flamed someone anonymous that everyone comes out of the woodwork to nitpick, and then makes judgements based both my lack of providing details, and also their assumptions based on their own experiences(because they can’t know what the actual reality was because I didn’t say). But now I know, and I’ll make sure to write a dissertation next time so that you all can make more accurate judgements as to whether or not I have the right to call a bitch a bitch.
No . . . don’t fuck my sister!! It’s bad enought that you’re already going to fuck my mother!
What have I done? Here I tell this guy to go fuck himself, but instead he’s going to fuck my mom and my sister!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Jesus fucking Christ, man, I’m just fucking curious! What the fuck happened? Where’s the train wreck? I want to see the fucking train wreck!
Oh man, you’re getting off easy. Everybody has not come out of the woodwork. This is defintely the B list here. Wait til **Miller **or **Cervaise **or **Euthanasist **gets a hold of you. This will seem like a party.
If you are going to rant, you need substance. And vitriol. Preferably of the creative genre.
Am I to understand from your OP that you are soon to become a notary public yourself? Or was that just you blowing off steam?
'Cos if you are an impending NP, you will probably soon be privileged to experience the joy that is a standing order to “drop everything” when your boss wants a document notarized.
Have fun with that.
And welcome to the Dope, btw, where rants tend to be better received when the people reading them are provided with some context.
Also, watch out for lissener. If he finds out that you’re saying mean things about wage slaves who don’t grunt and strain loudly and quickly enough when the Honcho says “Shit!”, he’ll be in here to rip you a new one.
Haven’t been here long, have you?
Domo arigato Mr. Roboto.
Hm? Oh I got nothin’. Just wanted to chime in with that one.
So you want us to believe that you came into a public space, threw a quick temper tantrum, and didn’t expect anyone to notice? Bull.
You wanted attention. Congrats, you got it. But you didn’t want to explain that you were upset because the ladies upstairs didn’t sing your praises while they gleefully jumped to do you bidding when you interupted what they were doing. Sorry Charlie. That ain’t going to happen.
This place isn’t your diary. It’s a public forum. It’s all about communication. So communicate, or don’t bother posting it.
Yeah, that’s pretty much the Pit in a nutshell. Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Board. 
See, you are mistaken in your assumption that the Pit’s purpose is only so you can blow off steam. You are also here for our amusement and entertainment, and when you don’t give us enough details, then we feel deep frustration and angst, and we call you things like “fuckwit”.
The only one-sentence rants that don’t get nitpicked to death are those where it’s immediately obvious who/what/where/when/why.
So live and learn, yeah. If ya just wanna blow off steam, get a Live Journal page or do it on MySpace or something.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
OK, so let me see if I’ve got my facts straight. Please do correct me if I’ve got anything wrong. You routinely go to these women, order them to drop everything and notarize something for your boss. I don’t know what your manner or tone is when you do this in real life; I do know that, in this thread, it’s come across as pretty rude and obnoxious.
I’ve been over half my life now. One thing I’ve never cared for is people who expect me to immediately stop whatever I’m doing and look after them, especially if what I’m doing is something which can’t easily be interupted or looking after someone else who also believes that they are The Most Important Person In the World ™ and that their needs come first (this actually happens in my current job far too often). If I routinely dealt with someone coming in, demanding I stop what I’m doing, and see to him, sooner or later I would get to the point where I’d had enough and I might even tell him he had to wait which he might well interpret as being rude. My take on it is, if you’re routinely rude to me, and expecting me always stop what I’m doing so I can take care of you is rude, then, while my own ethics don’t entitle me to be rude back to you, they do entitle me to arrange things so I don’t have to deal with you or find a way to get you to behave in a more acceptable manner. In other words, based solely on what I’ve seen of you in this thread, you were rude to them many times; is it any surprise they were rude back to you?
If it’s your boss putting pressure on you, believe me, I understand. My last boss always wanted things last minute and right away, especially if he’d procrastinated, and he’d take it out on me at times. That didn’t mean I could treat the people I dealt with equally badly or take his mood on them. I found a slightly apologetic air and the use of the phrase, “You know what he’s like” went a long way. If anything, something along those lines should give you more and more willing service than what you’ve been getting.
Look, I realize you’re new here and the Pit does look like a marvelous place to blow off steam. It isn’t. What it is is a good reality check. Sometimes, you can be convinced that you are absolutely, positively in the right only to find out that not only are you not in the right, you’ve been making a real fool of yourself. This may be one of those times. If it is, while I realize it may hurt like hell, read the advice, think about it, and even think about following. Despite what some around here will tell you, no one gets to be in the right all the time.
Well, except me. I get it right all the time.
Well, except for the one time I thought I got it wrong, but it turned out I was mistaken.
