RANT all you want! It's therapeutic

[galen]

7 months ago I met a person who lives like 3-4 doors away from mine. We enjoyed the same stuff and showed him my passion for G.I.Joes and stuff. He is starting to collect toys and also joined a website(not this one). I can't afford internet but I do have permission to connect via Wifi from my landlord, like what most tenants do also in my area. Someone from that site told me that my account will be reviewed and might be banned because of the IP address similar to another member. I went over to my neighbor and told him what happened and so he opened his account, he didn't get any notice regarding what I said....Well, that's that!

The other day I ran into the grocery store to pick up a few things to fix for dinner. I followed out a mother with her sixish year old son who was pushing the cart. As luck would have it, said family just so happened to have parked next to me. I pop the trunk on my car to place the groceries inside. Around the same time I did so, the six year old punk felt the need to slam their shopping cart right into the side of my passenger door. I mean my car isnt the best or newest or even the cleanest on the block, but I'm still pretty proud of it. Before I get a chance to say anything the mom loads up and drives off. So now I'm left with a big shopping cart ding in the side of my door. /sigh

Why is it the Honesty isnt rewarded in this world and it takes dishonest means now to get by for so many people? ugh....sigh.

[Lt Storm]

Yeah Darth I share your query. Recently a woman I know who is the most dishonest person I've ever had the displeasure of knowing, and a chronic liar who lives to cause other people pain, was awarded a ton of money in a court case. Details which I won't go into but anyone who knows her knows she's full of...well...you know. I keep thinking WHY? Why does a person as despicable as her get ahead in life? What about us people who try to lead a mainly honest caring life? Why does it seem we keep getting the shaft?

Why is it that when you are alone at work customers have to come in at the same time!!

I have a friend who lives not far from me at all that I cant get back in touch with. He doesnt seem to be in any hurry to get a hold of me for some reason. I wonder if it is because he owes me $200 left over from a trade we made 6 months ago? He is a good guy so I was helping him out. But I think he over extends himself to get new Joe stuff when he really cant afford it.

There is a new guy at the Dunkin Donuts I go to for coffee and a bagel on my way to work.

Yesterday he left the cream cheese off completely.

I think someone talked to him about it.....and today he put SOME on.Not the whole container....just SOME. It drove me nuts!

[protoxero]

so i drive for a living, the other day i was almost done with work and i was driving to my last stop. my truck was still full of some things and there was a school bus in front of me. so i decided to pass the bus and as soon as i started to pass, it put its dont pass light on. i was all ready passing so i could not stop being that id dump my load of stuff all over me and more or less get hurt. so i just continued on my way to the last drop off stop. i got there started to unload my things and a cop pulled up to me and said hey you, passed that bus back there and its lights were on. the bus called me in that i passed it. after the cop messed around for 15 or so minutes he came back with a court summons and i was like wtf. why cant i just send some money in, i dont have time to go to court over that. i work for a living, but he said call the number on the ticket/summons and talk to them he was a total ____ now i need to find time to call this number, witch is hard to do as the hours there open im working oh yeah and im sure i will have to pay a silly amount of money too.

one word sums this up LAME!!

[Dark 5cythe]

Thats cuz cops suck ass Proto. theyre nothing but tax collectors now. They dont actually save people anymore. They just raise money for the state.

[Lt Storm]

Yeah man that really sucks. I know quite a few cops in my area, (not from anything bad, I live a straight arrow life, lots of them come into my place of work) and they are real nice guys but their enforcement is really lacking. I live in a small town and I'm wondering where the cops are sometimes, there's not a lot of area to cover, there's a small OPP station right in the center of town and the large station is just 5 minutes out of town. The fact that the bus driver didn't realize you were already passing is stupid (i work with a school bus driver too.) He always checks before he puts his lights on to make sure no one is passing him, but he drives the wheelchair bus so he's usually extra cautious.

If you had the time I'd say fight it 'cause they shouldn't be getting away with that.

Over at another site, I traded some fodders for a "storm shadow -ninja torso". I told the person that the torso I needed was the one in a ninja outfit from which ever Cobra 5-pack....got the package yesterday and what do I get! a storm shadow ninja torso from the resolute CP! I pmd the person and he said, he would gladly take it back...sending it back is ok, but what really makes me irritated is that he asked me if I could pay him $2.00 for shipping!
