The Tuesday Rant Thread (5/17/05)

Post by J-MoNeY »

I fucking hate it when people use " ... " to space words, or end a sentence. A PERIOD will do just fine!

I hate bills and interest soooo much!

I hate my car with a passion. Damn POS won't start! I'm tired of push starting you.

I hate this damn weather. When can it just be nice enough to ride my fucking motorcycle?

:x :x :x :x

What is this you ending sentence punctuation thing you speak of? I just don't know what you're talking about. . . .

I KNOW you're talking about me. :lol:

I hate interest with a passion. I hate that I can't just pay my debts all off right now.

I hate that my roommate swiped my Prodrive hat out of my car after lunch and is now wearing it in the backyard while he works on the pond.

I hate that I forgot to use sunscreen at yesterday's autocross. My face is going to peel. :mad:

I hate people that can't spell, and I don't mean typos.

I hate when people say Fugi instead of Fuji.

I hate a bunch of other things too.

in defense of the ellipsis, it is improperly used most of the time.

it can be very usefull some times. a period will not do the job when an ellipsis is used properly. it is meant to convey a pause in a thought.

here is a good site explaining its proper usage:

I like the fucking ....

I find it rather amuzing that I've been asked to prepare an estimate to replace a cooling tower for work with an aerial cooler.

For those that need a refresher on their thermo. Water's evaporative cooling effect allows you to achieve temperatures below the ambient temp. The lowest temp is dependent of the wet bulb temp.

Long story short is that I just haven't figured out how to change the laws of thermodynamics to suit their needs. Not to mention my manager is a freaking "yes man" and doesn't really get the fact that anything I replace the old cooling tower with, other then another cooling tower won't meet the process temp requirements on the design day. :roll:

I think he's talking about me. I do that a lot.

I hate, more than anything else, people that PRETEND they know what they're talking about/doing. I seriously get a big hard-on when someone who talks a whole bunch of shit, fucks everything up. It's one of my greatest satisfactions.

I also hate my job and the company I work with. I would love to flip my manager the bird and walk out, but I can't for two reasons: 1) I need the job and 2) I'm pretty certain any other job I can get at this point in my life will be the same way.

I like my mom. She IMed me today, telling me that she paid the balance of my personal loan($150) and $140 towards my credit card. She's the man.


I also like Koi, and waterfalls, and fountains.

How did I miss this thread? This is incredibly funny.
I hate bosses that want to be your friend outside of work, then put on their boss hat at the office and turn into an incredibly inconsiderate, inexeperienced, thoughtless prick. I also hate getting talked down to. I hate being considerate of others, and then getting shit on all over for it, and never experience any consideration from others, like I'm the only one living like this.
I hate the fact that my favorite part of the english language has come under attack in this thread... It's an intellectual thing, you wouldn't understand...
I hate that I'm in the process of making the same mistake twice, and I'm pretty much locked in, and fucked, no matter what I do.
Oh, and I hate my mom, I'm telling her, once more, on Mother's Day, how much of a nut she is, and how she really IS the root of my problems, and that I'm perfectly just in placing the blame with her. I also hate that I feel that way --I shouldn't, it's not right to not love thy parents.
I hate that I'm not normal...

Art, Laurel, your guys' yard looks fuckin' AWESOME! I love it! If it's nice when I come over again, I'm rolling in that grass. :lol: I can't promise not to molest/harass/harry/badger the fish, though.. :lol:

I hate states that prohibit beer sales in the grocery store... then force the beer stores to close at 10

I hate paying some nimrod $22 to mount and balance a single tire

I hate marijuana laws

In hate the assholes who blow their horns in my hood all day and night, too lazy to get out and ring the doorbell

I hate car alarms, especially since they are all now useless

I hate my neighbor and their dogs, cuz they let the dogs out daily to go shit in other people's yards (guess who's is favorite)

I hate girlfriends who act like they are on the rag, when they run out of dope

I hate monday too. And the rest of time between monday and friday afternoon.

I hate the problems with my car, 'cause they are expensive to fix, which would take away money from getting a newer Subaru, which I can't afford anyway.

I hate that I always feel I'm damned if I do, and if I don't.

I really don't like working from 7pm to 7am, so much so that I may quit my job over it. I also hate being called an electrician.

I hate running around for an hour plus to find something, and find out that the store has moved......then when you spend another 10 min on the phone trying to track another place down, and find out the fuckers are out of stock....AFTER you drive there.

Fucking asshats!!!!
