Hey no worries. We all need to vent sometimes.

Thank you for understanding. It wasn't until after I posted that when I remembered your beliefs. And the fact that you are the creator of this thread makes it all the better.

Why are some people so dense that light actually bends around them!!!

:bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd:

You point out the obvious over and over again, and they still stick to their original flawed arguement!!!

:bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd::bnghd:

OK, better now!

Ego issues. Or they are so devoted to their beliefs that they refuse to drink anything that doesn't mix well with their kool-aid.

At least that's my problem when I do such things.

In this particular case it was post mining, which is just as bad, if not worse than quote mining! Read one sentence, skip the next three, especially the one's with source material, read the next two... Form opinion based on ! Grrrrrrrrrrr! And it's a Constitutional issue! All the idiot in question has to do is READ IT!!! I really have to stop participating in political threads! It's making me crazy(er)!

Perhaps that might be an idea. Take a breather for a little while. There's been a couple of threads where I've had to do that. Peruse some other area for a little while. Then once you've recharged then think about returning to those threads.

Just some quickies:

1). Meddlesome mother-in-laws. Enough said.

2). Emptying the dishwasher then realizing you never ran it so you have to dig everything back out of the cabinets, hoping you don't miss anything.

What a splendid invention! This thread could be a real boon for me.

For example, today, walking through town alone. Why do people walking side by side with each other look at me and expect me to walk on the road and get out of their way!? I'm ONE person, I can't get any narrower! They on the other hand are two and could so easily walk single file for but a moment! A cattle prod, that's what I want, should add a spark to their otherwise useless, yet apparently vital, conversation.

Mini-rant: They put gates at railroad crossings for a reason!! Everytime I see this, I get thinking to myself that eventually someone is going to get smacked at a particular crossing. Most people that do it, usually think that the train is moving slower than what it actually is. There's just one little problem, the train is moving faster than you think you dip!!!

Mini-rant 2: I absolutely hate people that have to talk on their cell phones while driving. Yeah, I know that cell phones can come in handy in some cases. It's just that some people forget how to drive when they are talking on the cell phone. HELLO, it should be obvious as to what you should be doing!!! In other words, put the phone down and pay attention to the ing road!!!

Exclamation Marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking it might be a good idea to start totally avoiding threads with exclamation marks in the titles and/or titles with no hint about what might be inside...hasn't good for my blood pressure here lately and crankiness level is escalating. plus my tongue's all beat up from biting it. Would someone be so kind as to drop me a U2U if there is imminent danger?

Hi, my name is Jack, and I'm crying, "Wolf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Just needed to say that. Thanks for listening :p

Tired of share/like whores on Facebook! LOL!

I don't mind the sharing of images. But I am tired of images that have no real or substantial message whatsoever and just pretty much boil down to share this/like this!'

Dumb and annoying. I'm going to go piss off everyone by posting this on FB lol:

Mini-rant:

Why are the lids of electric coffee grinders round? I mean, really.......... round doesn't pour into anything well, especially a powder of coffee. If they were square, a person could at least use a corner for the clumping coffee bits.

Thus, I make a mess on the counter every day. To my credit, I'm the one that cleans it up.

Why aren't the light switches labelled? I have to try the damn things one by one to figure out which lights they are hooked up to. Turning them on and off increases the probability that they will burn out in the future! They should come with rough diagrams, or at least some textual labels so that I don't have to fiddle.

Even more annoying are light switches that are hooked up to other rooms. Flip a switch, stand there staring like an idiot, wondering "ooh, what the hell did that do?" What. Just what.

reply to post by socialist




I was labelled anal and boring for doing this to my TV remotes... And my switches... I just like to know what does what.

OK, my mini rant....

First off, people who think motorbikes are invisible. Yes, we exist too, you ignoramuses!!! Just because we can get away from lights quicker, are smaller and faster, does not give you the god given right to run us off the road at every oppurtunity. You are safe in your little metal coffins. We. Are. NOT.

Secondly, same goes for trucks. We are not driving a nifty little hatchback or family wagon. We are driving up to *40 TONNES* of metal, that, despite your insular beliefs, does not just stop on a dime. So maybe next time we shred whats left of your car because you wanted that shot of a Cassowary on the side of the road, you may have some greater understanding of why your car no longer exists....

And lastly, it has probably been posted, Failbook whores. PLEASE STOP! No one wants to know your every move, your every thought, how much sleep you got, why you are fighting with your bf/gf this week, or how much you hate your life or your current state.
Templar advice #1: Get up from the computer/away from the phone. Switch off said device. Go outside. DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR LIFE. Don't whine to us on Failbook. Such activities get you blocked, coz we are sick of it....

OK, rant over, going outside to see what that odd ball of yellow light is in the sky, it seems to make everything warm

What is it with people who see an animal in the road and still keep going at full speed without slowing down?!

Every time I see an animal in the road or on the shoulder, I slow down, honk my horn to scare them, and will roll down my windows shouting 'Go home, babies! Go home!'

I don't understand people who fly right into them or by them without even trying to avoid them.
