The "Rant" Thread

[HCLcoasters]

^^What type of debate?

 

I too am a debater

[XII]

My rant for today. I have perhaps the worst neighbors that anyone can possibly have. Some of the hobbies that these people enjoy include banging on our walls in the middle of the night, playing loud horrible music, kicking our door, and playing knock on door ditch, which is basically ding dong ditching, only with knocking on doors, and they do this daily. And until I took the whiteboard off my door, they would come and draw giant dicks there all the time. These people are assholes and I'm really looking foreword to the day I get away from them.

[the ghost]

Some people are assholes. I saw a production of Peter Pan and some dude was such an asshole he literally got kicked out of the theater. There was this kid behind him(probably 9 or 10), and every now and then he would slightly kick the mans chair when shifting(I was told he was autistic, but am not entirely sure.) The guy proceeds to turn around and tell the kid and his mother that he is about ready to cut off the kids f****** foot. The mother then complained to security and the guy turned to the kid and said fact the consequences for your f****** actions. A few minutes later a random lady got up and got security for the same guy, she had three small children and the guy was cussing like crazy... which was true from what we could hear three rows away. In the end he was escorted out and was threatened to be sued and his girlfriend/wife left him.

 

I kind of get this behavior at a sporting event, but this was a Broadway style production of Peter Pan. Then this guy keeps cussing at a(supposedly) autistic child. The kid was in the row in front of us and we could see him, he bumped the guys chair a few times, but like many autistic problem he seemed to have some issues with keeping still. Lastly Peter Pan is a show where it is expected there will be kids everywhere.

 

I don't know why, but the guy REALLY pissed me off. It was so unnecessary, and it was live theater, really no reason to get crazy over, especially when he didn't ask the child or mother to stop in the first place without practically cussing them off and causing the mother to cry because the guy cussed out her kid.

 

Some people are assholes.

 

^ They sound like assholes, but the giant dicks aspect is hilarious, my friend used to sign all his papers with a dick next to his name as my friends name is Richard, and that was his "emblem" as he put it. Too bad he went off to college... oh well.

MySpace has underwent a redesign and also has improved their restrictions!

That means that I can't upload some of my remixes to my account because of WMG!

[metrock]

^ I see that the new myspace also has a facebook connect. Too funny. I guess they gave up.

During my pre-colonoscopy appointment, they weighed me. While I've long known that I've been getting, shall we say, a bit bigger, the nurse said I was 190! So that means that I will need to hit the streets and a LOT more walking in.

 

The rant isn't the walking since I like that; it's the fact that I've gotten right back up to where I was when I was diagnosed as Sugar Challenged Type 2.

 

Bottom line: a lot of work ahead.

Minor rant among my other ones that I don't feel like posting:

 

After all these years, Rollercoaster tycoon platinum comes out for the Mac. This includes the Wild! update that I've been waiting on and what I've had to hack to get it to work on my mac. Then of course I started playing it on the PC instead because of the crashes. So I happened to get a copy of Platinum for $19 online for Windows... you know how much they want for Mac? $49!

 

Somebody's drunk! I'll stick to the PC thank you!

I can't believe they would update MySpace when no one really uses it now thanks to Facebook..

This is whats going on

Fall Break = Project Time

 

This is what it should be

 

Fall Break = Break Time

 

 

To put it all together, fall break =/= project time

I think that I just pulled a Kat and bombed a calculus test. What a fun day.

[spacemtfan]

^ Calculus is difficult! Don't beat yourself up over it...

So, uh, I guess North Korea shelled South Korea today, resulting in 60-70 homes being engulfed in flames and 4 South Korean soldiers being wounded.

 

Well, crap. This ain't good.

[Ace Of Spades]

^No kidding. What's worse is this is the first I've heard of it.

[Thelegendarymatthew]

Dear Jackass who called my phone in class today

I hate you.

Love TLM,

[cal1br3tto]

^No kidding. What's worse is this is the first I've heard of it.

Same; I've only seen coverage on the Internet...

Of course, it will be in the papers by tomorrow, though.

^^ Turn your phone on vibrate then you wouldn't have that problem. You don't need the phone during school anyway.

How difficult is it to figure out what a no-left-turn sign means?!?

I walk to school, and sometimes walk home.(Which I didn't get to do today )

I guess having it on vibrate would of been a good idea, but the thing is I thought my phone was off.

Microsoft Office 2007 is just plain awful. I absolutely hate everything about it. Bill Gates, please remake Office 2003 before I punch something.

[SharkTums]

^It has a ridiculously high learning curve as opposed to the previous upgrades of the office product. They changed so many basic functions that I pretty much hated it for the first year!!!!

[ebl]

I'm still using Office 2003 and it works just fine. Another issue with anything from Office 2007 is that you have to remember to save files in the earlier format or you won't be able to do anything with them.

PREFECTS!

 

In my school anyone in 6th form can be a prefect. Very bad idea. I think that prefects should be wisely selected and trained. A recent experience multiplied my hatred for the system.

 

I walk down the corridor at lunch and a senior prefect (yes, you get prefects, senior prefects and head prefects) stops me and says in a vulgar tone "GET OUT" I say "excuse me" and he repeats himself in an even more vulgar tone. The prefect was rude and unreasonable. I was attending a meeting with my Maths teacher and had a very good reason. This would also most probably have been the case with all the others that the school prefects "kick out" of the building"

 

These prefects should be disciplined, seriously!

 

I would have had no problem if he had given a good reason or had been polite but he was just being rude.

 

Rant over.

[VelociRaptor]

To the couple in front of me at the matinee showing of Saw 3D:

 

I understand that those 36 Twix bars you smuggled in the theaters are just OH SO DELICIOUS, so I encourage you to unwrap them just a TAD louder- 'cuz HEY! I could almost HEAR the movie!

 

Love,

Nick <3

[ebl]

^ That's one reason I just don't go to movies anymore. You have to wonder what ever happened to classy behavior.
