I have some rants. Feel free to add your own.

[yvr girl]

1. Memo to the woman who scarred my eyes today.

Picture this outfit. Burgundy, white and gray floral pants. (Chintzy rose pattern) Oh, and when is the flood? You just wanted to show off your electric blue socks didn't you? And the sweater. Horizontal, wide stripes in the colour and pattern of a rainbow. And not a nice rainbow - really intense colour. Think mustard for the yellow. Oh, yes - it was velour. Lady, do you not own a mirror. You may not care what you look like, but what about the rest of us. My eyes still hurt.

2. Dawdlers

When driving a car, and pedestrians are out pacing you, you are driving too slowly. Perhaps you might want to have a destination in mind before you start inching your car along the road. Just a thought.

And you people in the stores - you are not the centre of the universe. It would be nice if you tried to have at least a modicum of awareness of those around you. In other words - you make a better door than a window.

3. People who PM you, throw out certain words, and then get offline. What's up with that?

4. My apartment smells like fish. This one is my fault. Memo to self - Take out the garbage!

Aahh. I feel better now.

[Dr.Phool]

1. As for dawdlers

You must be in Florida, and all the Canadians and other old snowbirds are down here now.

As for #1 I'll try to get my wife to dress a little better.

[tyedyeto]

2. Or Arizona..............

We get all kinds down here LOL

[jdots]

3. the first one was special wish you had a camera for it.

my peave-a-roony is rich mommys who dress like 7 year olds and thier repuke husbands who probably wack off reading Money magazine. Everything pisses me off and people who aren't pissed off piss me off & i'm pissed off at people who are pissed off.........Can i go to Mars now ?

[Boswells_Johnson]

4. People at $tarbuckz who wait until

they're at the front of the line to look at the menu-and take 10 minutes to choose which coffee they want! Arrgh! Just get the hell out of my way!!

[WindRavenX]

21. I swear to god I will kill these people

LOOK AT THE FUCKING MENU BEFORE GOING TO THE BARISTER ASSHAT!
I am BUSY- I don't have TIME for that shit! :argh:

[Boswells_Johnson]

27. LOL...kill them with an olive fork!

[Hello_Kitty]

5. I have some

People who can't just say "hello" or "how are you" when they see you. No - they have to use some tired old, pseudo-clever expression like "Are we having fun yet?" when they pass you in the corridor. How the hell am I supposed to answer that? "Um...no. But I'll let you know"?

People (mostly guys) who hear a sexual double-entendre in EVERYTHING said around them. One day at work the subject of trains came up. Apropos of nothing, this perverted social moron pipes in with "You know, I'm getting a 'mental picture' right now. But I'm not gonna say it" Har har.


People who ask inappropriate questions to people whom they have just met. Despite the fact that more casual interactions between people are increasingly accepted: "Is that your natural hair color?" or "So, how come you're not married?" are still not polite inquiries to brand-new acquaintances.

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest...

[frictionlessO]

20. oh crap! I just asked someone yesterday if that was their natural color!

Shit Im sorry Fluffernutter!! Seriously I didnt realize that it was a faux pas...

Uhmm my rant is with dawdlers and situational awareness in stores. Your cart should not be blocking an aisle just say you can take 15 minutes to yourself in the canned veggies section!!

[SarahB]

6. People who overcompensate for their personal insecurity by either....

1. having a terrible attitude toward the rest of humanity
2. and/or extremely poor driving
:grr:

[GingerSnaps]

7. People who pretend to be something that they are not

1. People that are mad because their career didn't work out so they take it out on others when they are having a midlife crisis.
2. People that hold grudges against others that they don't know.
3. Being psychoanalyzid by someone with OCD and a personality defect.
4. People that PM/Email other people and spread lies about someone else.
5. LIARS
6. Someone that hides behind the democrtic name but is acturally a republican.
7. People that intentially hurt others so that they can feel better about themselves.
8. I believe that People should acturaly think about why someone would want to trash another person in the first place. What their motive might be?

Sockpuppets that attack with the help of other sockpuppets.

Cell phones that ring during class :grr:

[NoPasaran]

8. People who rush to get on an elevator just as the doors open

Hey Einstein! If you let me get off first, not only will we not collide, there'll be more room in the elevator for you!

People who walk through a doorway and then stop to look around.
Yes, there's a store in here! What did you expect?

Science fiction fans who, after you tell them you don't read that genre, insist on describing in excruciating detail every character and plot twist in their latest adolescent potboiler.
Earth to geek boy! What does that eyes rolling expression mean on your planet?

[Phillycat]

10. Re: "Yes, there's a store in here!" AARGH! I fucking HATE that!

ALL RIGHT PEOPLE. HERE'S THE DRILL. YOU NEED TO REALLY BE ABLE TO DISCERN WHEN YOU ARE IN A PUBLIC WALKWAY. IF YOU CANNOT DETERMINE WHEN THAT IS, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED OUT OF THE HOUSE.

ONCE YOU HAVE DETERMINED THAT, YES, YOU ARE IN A PUBLIC WALKWAY, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO WALK. IF YOU CANNOT WALK AT THAT MOMENT, YOU WILL NEED TO STEP TO YOUR RIGHT OR LEFT IN ORDER TO CLEAR THE PUBLIC WALKWAY FOR THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO PASS.

FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE RULES AND IT'S POSSIBLE I WON'T NEED TO KILL YOU NEXT TIME I'M TRYING TO PASS YOU ON THE SIDEWALK.

THANK YOU.

[motely36]

11. Drives me crazy when you are walking behind someone

and they all of the sudden stop for no apparent reason! and of course I almost run into them and then they look at me like I'm the crazy one! :mad:

[tsakshaug]

24. sudden stops

at the top or bottom of an escalator. Keep moving! You will get plowed into

[yvr girl]

14. Here, here!

[motely36]

12. People who push the elevator button again and again

like it's going to make the elevator came faster.

[BurtWorm]

22. Points one and two could be made about NYC subway riders.

My biggest button-pushers are people who can't get on or off trains civilly: People who start coming on board before the people on start getting off; people who stand sideways in the doorway, making everyone go around them, as though only half a door opened (these are usually very large people); and worst of all, people who step onto the train and just stand put right there at the door, even when there are a dozen people behind them and there's lots of room inside the train.

[terrya]

9. Deleted message

No, I don't feel like ranting today.

[Cerridwen]

13. Human *Stop* Signs - you know the type

No matter what you say to them; it can't be done, it shouldn't be done, they have an encyclopedia full of reasons why that just won't happen.

These folks seem to enjoy saying *No* to any new ideas, old ideas, re-visited ideas. They just seem to enjoy saying *NO*.

They are always negative and seem "happiest" when they can piss on your parade. And don't even try to tell them good news. They'll list story after story of how that would never happen to them, their family, their friends, and/or point out how rare such good news truly is.

But, give them a good piece of gossip about something awful that's happened to someone, and they'll gleefully spread it far and wide; whether it's true or not.

Blech!

Thanks for letting me vent.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

15. Folks who refuse to use turn signals..................

or those who suddenly stop, and then turn on their turn signals. I don't know about the rest of the country, but here in WV, the law requires a driver to signal a turn at least 100' before the turn.

C'mon folks, the manufacturers put them there for a reason!!

[yvr girl]

16. People who make illegal left turns

when there is a line of traffic behind them.

[skygazer]

17. And a few from someone who works retail

People who stand there and stare at you while you ring up $400 worth of groceries, bag it and put it in their cart and only then begin digging in their purse for their credit card which they could have run through the machine at any time in this process.

People who, upon looking for said card, realize they don't have it and have to walk (not hurry) out to their car to find it, thus holding up the entire line and earning the checker the wrath of the 17 people who now have to wait.

People who decide, just when you start ringing up their purchases that "oh, I forgot one thing" and rush off to get it, leaving a long line behind them and taking approximately 20 minutes to do so.

[youthere]

18. How about when another dirver

waits for the 10 cars ahead of you, and then pulls in front of you (and there's no one behind you)goes a block and then turns?

[skygazer]

19. And the driving rants

People who pull into the passing lane and then slow down, leaving you right beside an 18 wheeler which is the worst place to be in relation to a big rig.

People who ride your ass when they can see you are behind a large and slow dump truck or something with no place to pass.

People who drive very slowly in the passing lane.

People who don't seem to know how to merge.

People who are obviously sightseeing on secondary roads but won't pull over to let the line of 37 cars that has built up behind them by.

[Patiod]

23. Introduction: "Hi - you don't remember me, do you?"

My usual reply: "Nope" and walk away.

Or acquaintances who approach you at a party or other function, saying "Hi, Pattie! Remember me?" I am dreadful with names, and need all the help I can get. I always introduce myself with "Hey, Bill! It's Pattie from (wherever)". That allows them to say "Oh, of course I remember you!", even if they don't.

I was at a funeral recently and ran into a girl from college who I couldn't stand back in the old days. My opinion of her went up 50 points when she stuck out her hand and said "Pattie, it's Sue Jones - I was Sue Smith back in college." Jeez that's such a relief.

[Arkana]

25. You're asking me about rants?

I INVENTED RANTS!

1. Women who decide that because they "only" spend six out of seven days clinging to your ankle like a horny dachshund that they should cheat on you while you're 100 miles away in Boston.

2. People who tell you in rather nauseating detail exactly what they'd like to do alone with their significant other.

3. Tailgaters.

4. Parents who allow their children to scream like wounded animals in restaurants.

[redqueen]

26. I hate people who don't pay enough attention to me!

ME! MEEEEEEEEE!

LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!1
