The "Rant" Thread

People are stupid!

I hate drivers that tailgate. One was all up in my butt the entire way to school.

 

My government teacher is retarded. His tests are rediculously hard and does not teach. He thinks it is an independant class and you only learn when you read from the book. When he does teach us, it is for 5 minutes and nothing he teaches us are on the quizzes and tests. And you have a quiz BEFORE you go over that section. Stupid, I have an 83 in that dumb class.

Viper was running very rough(as rough as American Eagle) last time I rode it, and it seems to have a 50/50 chance of delivering a great ride or a rough one.

I am sure everyone can agree on this topic...

 

ok...DMV...SUCKS! I dread that place. I went in for my license today, and i thought it wasn't going to be too bad. It took me a record 20 minutes to get to the first window, and the lady was actually NICE!!! So, I wait in line to take my driving test, which I was completely ready to pass, so I can finally have my license. So after 3 exciting hours of waiting passed my appt. time, they finally call me for the test. I get this old crazy man...he was a COMPLETE grouch. He wouldn't smile/laugh for anything. I come up to this left turn, and I'm slowing down, and cars are coming. I had a green light, so I stopped a little over the line to let them pass, but as I'm stopping he gets all freaked out on me and yells "STOP! What do you think you're doing?!"...so he failed me! That little B****...I HATE the DMV. Then of course he was being a little B**** after that telling me how it's not ok to do "unsafe maneuvers". Waist of a day, I can drive better than most of these idiots on the road right now.

Blah I'm home sick.

Street Preachers annoy me more than all else.

 

the last one I saw said and I quote,

 

"Christ himself told me to spread the word of God"

^ Along that same note...the Jehovah's Witnesses.

 

They stop by my place and want to leave their literature---even after I've already told them that I'm a believer and have been for years. And if I'm not home, they leave the stuff anyway.

 

Well, it does keep the recycling companies in business...

People with extremely poor hygiene.

 

On my first day of the job as a cashier at a supermarket, it wasn't bad and this was the only peeve. Two people (one fat woman in a motor scooter and a redneck with the biggest beer gut I've seen) walk up to my register and instantly within a 50 feet range was the most foulest smell I've smelt. They filled the air with the smell of rotten cheese and piss.

 

Ugh. Other than that, today was a good day.

I am up until probably 4am this morning because of another stupid Lit project. I hate my classes right now.

Also, I'm still failing Algebra 2... Algebra 2 should go die somewhere.

 

...And, I have to turn in the project late... school sucks.

No offence to any Jehovah's Witness but the ones who annoy people in their own homes are like zombies

 

1. They seek out the living

2. Once they know you're inside there's no easy way to get rid of them

People who think they know everything about coasters.

 

"OMGZSH the biggest coaster is 753 feet in China!!!"

 

"Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom has loops in it!"

 

"Omg I saw the sea monster when the Kraken went in the tunnel and it almost ate me"

 

"Nah-uh! I felt going upside down on Expedition Everest!"

[Manny In England]

My rant for today is this guy I met. He read through half a book on Japan and now thinks he knows everything to do with the japanese culture. People who think they're really sophisticated because they know the smallest details of another country's culture or language annoy me.

Y'think if you opened the door while cleaning a shotgun, they just might scatter...?

 

Anyway, my peeve is twofold: people who interrupt, and people who point.

 

First, how much sense does it take to approach two people talking and just butt in? Wait your turn!

 

Second, I find that more and more people can't seem to simply indicate where something is by describing it, nodding toward it with their head, or a simple Disney-like point with the hand. Instead, they extend their arm and pointy-fingered hand toward it as far as they can---and often I find my face covered with someone's arm or I get smacked upside the head with someone's hand.

Why do people feel the need to drive with their dogs on their laps? While Jer and I were driving in Sandusky, we saw a dog on someone's lap with its head sticking out a half open window. All of a sudden the window closed on the dog's neck. It must have stepped onto the power window control by accident, and since the guy was driving it took him a few seconds to even realize the dog was stuck in the window! A dog on your lap can also obstruct your view/get in your way and cause you to lose control of your car. In any case, it's much safer to restrain your dog so it doesn't become a projectile in the case of an accident. Why risk the safety of everyone around you just to have a cute dog on your lap??

^ Britney Spears drives with her kids on her lap, but to the best of my knowledge, at least they haven't stepped on the power window button!

 

Today, I'm beat. I need to sleep...

WHY do I have to do a science project two times a school year!?!

 

Since we've made MANY science projects in the past, CHANCES ARE that we know the scientific method by now, retards!

 

Agh, that felt better.

 

Back to my 358345927437th science fair project.

The TPR Japan Tour I've been on now, is ending after this weekend...

 

Boo - wah - sniff sniff - nuts.

When people say "anyways." The word is not a plural, no "s" required.

 

When people say they "could" care less. It's "couldn't" care less. Think...if you don't care about something, then you could not care any less, could you?

 

My apologies for being such a spelling/grammar Nazi, but I think people will take us more seriously if we speak properly.

[odene497]

^ I agree with the couldn't, I hate it how everyone says I could care less. Apparently people are so lazy to say the full thing that they'll cut it short even if it makes the statement completely wrong.

 

However, I do like anyways better that anyway. It sounds more conversationally casual.

Oh thank god for the rant topic!

 

Anywho, lets get down to the knitty gritty of it all.

Lately on YouTube I've seen a lot of religion bashing videos. Most, if not all of these videos used "word manipulation" to tie to completely different subjects together to make a single stain, on some religions white coat. For instance, there is a video on YouTube a bout a pedophile who was a MoTab, (Mormon Tabernacle Choir) member. The whole description of the video was the guy linking the pedophiles, pedophalism (?) to him being a Mormon, and a whole bunch of junk about how the Mormon religion is false. First of all, who cares if it's real or not, the religion itself does no harm to anybody, and most Mormons are happy with their lives, otherwise they'd choose a different religion. But, now some of you will say, "Hes a pedophile, and a Mormon. Mormons are harmful to society!"... WRONG! This would be "word manipulation"

For instance, I can say that Jane has eaten a pickle, and she has cancer. Now, many people would assume that the pickle has caused the cancer, but no the pickle and the cancer are not related. If you consider that most Americans have eaten a pickle once in their life, that if I go up to ANY cancer patient, that they would say that they have eaten a pickle in their life. The pickle and the cancer are not related!

Now some of you will say, "Well duh, of course their not related, pickles don't cause cancer!" Well, um, duh! It was a metaphor. Most of these "manipulations" are done very slyly. One that might be harder to notice, is that everyone who lived in the 1800's and ate salted pork, died. Many would think that the salted pork killed them, but no! They're dead because they lived in the friggin' 1800's!

Why can't people just learn to accept all peoples of all types! I'm 14, and yet I'm preaching this to stubborn 40 year olds on YouTube! My opinion is valid, and you have the right to hear it! *pants*

 

Anyway, so yeah... needed to get that off my chest...

What's up with stairs that aren't wide enough. I hate it that I can't take anything up that stupid stair because it's to small!

There's a teacher at my school who is the official (yes, they actually call her this...) Gum Nazi. You chew gum, she find you, sooner or later.

Luckily I don't chew gum. Or eat it.

Today it's been exactely 100 days since the elections and we still don't have a new governement. I really think we should think about breaking Belgium up because IMO it can't continue this way.
