Rants far and wide

As much as I try I just can't be compassionate and tolerate dumbasses.

Incompetent technicians who don't know how to diagnose a problem ...

Who are you to question me in a notion that it's not safe to take my daughter outside of the states? Are you my mother? Do you just not understand that some people do actually move to the UK from the states for all the various reasons they would? Do you think I'm not competent enough to handle the decisions I make based on what I know and love?

Impatient lady in the SUV which cut me off across a freeway to get a carpark outside a beachfront prize home which was open for inspection. I had right of way, you sped up and drove across three lanes to cut me off for that last parking spot, in an area with lots of kids walking around etc.... grumble and

I just blocked another childhood on Facebook. I hate doing that. I have plenty of friends who I disagree with on Facebook. I choose not to engage with people when they post things I disagree with. I blocked this childhood friend after he posted something comparing the regulation of vaginas to guns (i.e. a graphic of Rachel Maddow saying that if you don't have a vagina you don't get to regulate them with a photo of man saying that if you don't own a gun you don't get regulate them) and when I challenged him on it, he just mocked me. I don't like blocking people over disagreements. It seems counterproductive since a lack of opposing views breeds stagnant circle-jerking, but I can't abide by someone who enjoys mocking others rather than engaging in a dialogue.

Seriously Microsoft, what's the point in "owning" digital movies when you're having service disruptions so often that the movie keeps crapping out because it can't buffer?? I'm going back to blu-ray for cripes sake!

Thank you for the free upgrade to Windows 10, Microsoft. Now if only you'd fix my brightness control, as my eyes are feeling pretty burnt...

On-line dating profiles are so... stupid. I feel like I'm making a resume'. *pinches the bridge of her nose*

Ever throw out a broken, ancient toy that was taking up space? It's a little like that. Painful but necessary.

I just had to do the same thing recently. Or rather, he blocked me because I wouldn't debate him on his Flat Earth theory. My newsfeed is less entertaining now, but my inbox is also quieter.

I think Seinfeld said first dates were basically just like job interviews. The analogy works.

I am posting this publicly so newer people will get a reminder. Part of the rules of this thread are that we (generally) do not respond to rants IN the thread.

It's rule number two in the original post (go back and look):
"2. Nobody can respond to another persons rant in this thread."

So, let's continue to let this be a healthy airing out space.

I will never understand how meaning "everything" and meaning "nothing" are so, temporally, close together.

Why are all the fun craft sales going on right now when I can't afford it and have other projects I need to finish?

Why is it that my sore throat doesn't bother me while idly chatting with my coworkers but when I'm talking to a customer suddenly it catches and I have a coughing fit? Seriously?!

How do you lose some of the paperwork but not all of it if I sent it to you STAPLED TOGETHER!?!

I hate feeling like this. Just had to remind myself I really could go into a shop and buy milk because I suddenly had strong social anxiety.

But saying that....

I've been interested in becoming a certified Yoga instructor / teacher for some time now, but the cost of Certification is insane. Most places in my area charge $2,500 to $3,000. I so hate how certifications have turned into cash grabs. Ugh.

*sigh* ....

Someone was using my card in the early morning hours while I slept. This is the fifth time. I use an RFID blocking wallet, and this happens at least once a year. I understand that people may need what they take, but I am having a child and make barely enough to scrape by. I wish these people would take their skill and do something worth while instead...

Perhaps if you weren't so damn dismissive of other people's opinions, we might actually get along... :dry:
