Mine is Feminine Deodorant Spray.
How many people do you know have been overcome by vaginal odor?

Or how about silly people (me) posting time wasting stupid posts like this one?

Rant away.

I really despise the term "Black Ice" wrt road conditions... the "Ice" in question is probably clear and thus people are seeing the "Blacktop" underneath the Ice... seriously... Just call it "Ice"...

OK, I feel better... :D:D:D

I despise rude neighbors who move next door to a family that has been in the same house for 22 years, and expect that veteran of the neighborhood to bend over backwards for the new family.

Just mind your own business and feel lucky if nobody's tried to burn your house down just to get you out of the neighborhood.

What really drives you up a wall when you hear about it?



* Women with way too much perfume. You know them. When they walk by, the next five minutes you can't smell a damn thing except for that much-too-sweet stinking crap they drowned themselves in. Whatever happened to subtlety?

* People standing still on escalators in such a way that normal people can't pass them.

* People dawdling at counters, cash registers etc. (the "it's my turn now, so the world can come to a f***ing halt, what the f*** should I care that there's people waiting behind me?" kind of types).

* People letting their dogs shit anywhere without cleaning up after the offending canine. The animals can't help it but the owners should have their noses shoved into the turd their animal just laid down.

* People cutting in front of you in queues. They should be shot on the spot. No trial, no jury, straight to f***ing execution. No mercy.

* People yelling into their cellphones like they need to physically bridge the distance to the person on the other end.

* People yapping away into their cellphones in the most annoying places and/or circumstances. Usually it's about the stupidest things possible, too. Makes you wish you had a GSM jamming device in your pocket...

* People to whom talking is more important than breathing. They don't care what it's about but they just must talk and can't shut the f*** up for a measly few bl***ing minutes.

* Littering. Nuff said.

* DZ staff members jamming themselves into already filled-to-the-max loads they didn't manifest for, just for a solo fun jump, so that others must spend the plane ride lying down with the elbows of heavily-built tandem masters buried in their faces.

* Gear manufacturers who treat their customers like shit because they think you'll buy their products anyway. Doesn;t work for me. I'll take my business elsewhere thank you very much.

* People who cannot admit they're wrong and keep pushing their point even though every one of their arguments has been convincingly shot down.

Just a few things that aggrevate me to no end...

People who will not defend themselves.

People who think animals are a lesser form of being.
(ask me if you don't understand that people do shit animals would never stoop to)


People who claim to be fair, but are truly hateful in their hearts.

People who do kind things, but only in an effort to be rewarded.


People who won't do the right thing.

I will shut up now.

I'm sure that's a much less expensive trait! ;)



All the stamps and "signature wanted" fees add up, but it's cheaper indeed.

Or how about the media telling you the conditions where to blame for the fatal traffic accident. Rain, snow, ice etc.
But, but, I was driving the speed limit.

You want my rant.

Why in the hell do people put on their brakes going down a hill only to have to immediately re apply the gas to go up the hill. This only applies to situations when there is a hill to go up after a downhill. I just don't get it.
Ok so you went over the speed limit 5 or 10 mph. Who gives a rats ass. That momentum would have gotten you up the hill with less effort/less gas but no you had to go fuck it up and push on the brake.

Now your slow piece of shit is in my way because I didn't brake and have momentum to carry me up the hill better.

Oh and to all the morons who drive over the line of a bike/pedestrian lane. If that line was then edge of the road you'd be clear in the ditch, but no because there is a bike/pedestrian lane you're doing just fine. Oh wait I see the problem you're on you're fucking phone. Ok you get a pass. I mean after all there is nobody in that lane right now. I'm sure you're paying enough attention that if someone was you'd move over. I must be the jackass for honking at you to get you to move over.
My bad. Maybe I should just RUN YOU OFF THE DAMN ROAD!!!!

Better yet, people who just don't pay attention on the road AT ALL. Those self-contained morons who take about half an hour to merge even if you give them the right of way with a clear hand signal, the ones who blow through a red light without even flinching and stay motionless up to 30 seconds after the light turns green. Pay fucking attention, and don't be the cause of my next accident.

What really gets me are roommates who have no respect for the other people in the house. Some examples:

-leaving boxes in the hallway for other people to trip over
-pilling the dishes in the sink so high you can't use the faucet (oh yeah...we have a dishwasher right beside the sink that they can never seem to find)
-when they finally do clean their dishes they do a shitty job and i end up having to clean them again just so that i can use them
-bringing extra pets into the house (1 cat, 1 rabbit, 1 mouse, and 2 rats) when the landlords have made it perfectly clear that they didn't want anymore pets in the house (we already had 3 cats when they brought the other pets)
-leaving their shoes in front of the front door so that you literally cannot open it (we have a shoe rack 2 feet away)
-blasting music or tv, or yelling down the hall when you are trying to sleep and won't be quiet no matter how much you ask...but, if i make a single sound when they are trying to sleep i get bitched at to no end
-leaving so much shit on the kitchen counters that i can't even make myself a sandwich

God I can't wait till I move out in April.

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE TO THAT ONE!!!


* People yelling into their cellphones like they need to physically bridge the distance to the person on the other end. TOTALLY...must we see (hear) one of these every freakin' day??!!

I will have to add: people who live in apartments on the second floor who MUST literally JUMP out of bed in the morning and seemingly wear cement brick shoes while roaming the apartment for several hours before most people usually wake up for their weekend.
I don't want to make all the decisions because if I screw up, then I can't blame it on you...

I guess it's not so much of a rant as an annoyance...:ph34r: -but one of my substitute caregivers just won't let me get off the phone. And it always starts with one thing; her medical problems. :S

"...and then I had to have this test, and then they think I might need surgery...I can't drink a cup of coffee because it makes my heart beat too fast, but I have a head cold so I thought it might clear my sinuses, so I tried and I drank just half a cup but my heart rate went up to 195 and I know that's bad news...so my boss at my other job says I shouldn't be going to that doctor. Now my husband called me and he's having this problem...my son just fell off the porch and broke his hand last week. My daughter just puked all over my bed and I have to take my bedding to the laundrymat because the hot water isn't hooked up to my washing machine and I have to kill the germs..."

:|

For the love of all things holy, tell me you can't make it in to work today and let me get some sh*t done around the house before my babies get here!! :D

I kinda think maybe she doesn't have many friends to talk to, so I try to be polite and listen. :P

-People who think kissing ass will get them somewhere in life.

-The select few who get somewhere and think ass kissing got them there.

-People who get handed shit without working for it... specifically job hand outs and spoiled rich kids that end up in massive credit card debt because they don't know how to manage finances due to mommy and daddy paying for everything in their youth.

-Those said spoiled bastards having a negative attitude towards others because they've got a "pimped ride". Mommy and daddy bought it for you, you didn't earn it. Until you do, leave my stock truck I bought with the money earned from the sweat of my brow the F**K alone! (I almost lost it at an intersection on some guy for that very reason. I started to get out of my car at a damn stop light. WOO SAHHH!!!!)

-People who think the freeway is a damn NASCAR race and assume that drafting you will get them there faster or get you to move out of their way. Hint: Don't do it to me... I just take my foot off the gas until you back the F**K up!

-The people that can't manage to get out of the fast lane but insist on going less than the speed limit. I set the cruise control and go the speed limit to 5 over. If you go less, move right unless your passing.

YA LOTS OF DRIVING SHIT... I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA... WHAT'D YOU EXPECT???

-People that don't say what's on their mind, but then get pissed off because of something someone did or said. If it bugs you, say something. Don't be afraid of hurting someone's feelings. Be tactful, but straight-forward.

-People that get pissed when you're honest with them. Hint: Ladies, don't ask me if you look a certain way in a certain outfit or whatever. I'm honest. I'm not going to BS you to please you. I'm not married, so until then, I don't have any woman to please. If you want a serious answer, go ahead, but be prepared for either a positive or a negative answer. I'm not a guy that'll tell Rosie O'Donnell that "No, honey, you don't look fat." because let's face it... she is.

-People that not only can't admit they're wrong, but insist that you're wrong because you disagree with them, regardless of how many times you prove your point.

-Those with serious body odor issues and don't care enough to try and fix it. I started sleeping at work because my old roommate had the most RANK feet I've ever smelled. Never would shower before going to bed despite my frequent comments on his stench and suggestions to shower prior to sleeping instead of in the morning.

-People that will screw over others to further themselves or their appearance to others.

-Those that are unappreciative of kindness. I don't want a damn thank you card or a return favor, just a damn thank you and maybe a little help if I'm in a bind and have nowhere else to turn.

-Those that are only willing to help if they're going to receive personal gain from it. I'll usually pay you a little money for helping me out, but don't expect a friggin' fat check unless the help warrants it.

-Those that say they're not smart, but don't take the time to further their education.

-Those that cannot take responsibility for their actions. "Smoking's an addition and that's why I can't quit" doesn't cut it for me. I'm a damn smoker and haven't been able to kick it yet. I don't blame addiction, I accept that I haven't had the willpower. Another example is the guy that got fired from work for looking at porn, then filed a lawsuit against his company because, "I can't help it. I'm a sex addict. I need help and counseling, not reprimand and punishment." Gimme a F**King break! I guess that means I can kill someone and get off Scott free because "I hunted when I was little and was numbed to killing because of it." BULLSHIT... GROW UP AND OWN UP TO YOUR F**K UPS. "I DIDN'T KNOW" DOESN'T WORK FOR ME EITHER.

Just a few things that bug me:)
Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
