It's what old farts do, right? Right?! Nobody can be happy all the time! mad
This could actually be a little therapeutic. Whatever you're mad about today, whoever annoyed you and you couldn't politely say anything about it...traffic made you mad or you stubbed your toe! Whatever! This is the place to just let it out. You may never get to actually say it to their face, but here you can say exactly what you wanted to, with none of the worry.
I work retail, so I predict I'll be posting in here the most. =DDD
So, go on. Gripe away. It'll make you feel better.
I only ask that you try not to swear too much. wink

Dear Everyone who lives and drives in Portland:
Guess what. It RAINS here. Often it rains a LOT here. You should know this by now. So please please please, for the love of God, learn. How. To. Drive. In. The. Damn. Rain.
I understand rain makes the road slippery, but not that much. You don't have to go 2 miles per hour just because there's some water on the road. You don't have to be exactly 5 centimeters from the bumper of the car in front of you (especially if it's me). You don't have to come to a complete stop before making a turn.
Also, learn how to merge. Whether it's raining or not. Cars have turn signals for a very good reason.
And hang up your damn phone.
Thank you.

Hey! You think you got problems? it hasn't rained here in MONTHS! The ground is hard as a rock, the grass burnt crispy brown weeks ago in the 100-degree heat wave, the leaves are just dropping dead off the trees with little or no color, the lakes and reservoirs are mud flats, the wildlife has either fled to greener pastures or maybe has died because the birds, frogs, etc. have been very quiet (even katydids, who are quiet for no one)....Send us that rain and save the Southeast!! gonk

It is the North American continent.
And it finally rained a little today--what a strange phenomenon! lol The birds sang with joy this morning.

(brilliant idea btw!!!)
I HATE when people sit on my a**. Just because I drive a station wagon does not mean I can't/don't want to drive relatively fast. In fact, I do. That's why I'm in the fast lane, going 85 MPH. If that's not fast enough for you, move to Germany and hit he autobahn!
And it's always gigantic trucks/suvs, too. No offense to any of you who drive them, but I don't like driving around them! Whenever some one's sitting on my a**, or cutting me off, etc, it's always an effing hummer or expidition or f150. It's never a corvette, or a bmw. >_>

You know, it's funny. Whenever I end up stuck behind someone going ridiculously slow, it's always some sort of flashy sports car. HELLO, I know that thing is capable of going the speed limit, at least!

Sir Oscar the Bold It is the North American continent.
And it finally rained a little today--what a strange phenomenon! lol The birds sang with joy this morning.
The forecast said the Carolinas were in a zone with high chance of severe thunderstorms this afternoon. After the light rain early this morning it was just very cloudy and windy all the rest of the day. NO MORE RAIN! cry We should have had a storm!
You can't even tell it rained now.

Amazingly, the only complaint I have today is that McDonald's messed up my order for the bazillionth* time. I ask for small fries, and get a snack wrap? What? They don't even sound similar. neutral
What was that movie that had Joe Pesci (I think) saying "They always SCREW YOU at the DRIVE-THROUGH!!" I'm thinking one of the Lethal Weapons. His voice is always in my head when this happens. xD
*That number is probably closer to like, 3. I don't actually eat at McD's that much.

kristhafur I worked at McD's back in the day. You need to call the boss on that one. They do get a lot of people that don't have legitimate gripes calling and trying to get free food or being very abusive verbally like they aren't real humans to get the free stuff. If you chat with them in a manner that is more positive than those examples, the results will probably be better. I'm assuming you didn't tell them it was wrong actually. I hope you have better luck with that. If it's always drive through, maybe go in and take it to go checking the order before you leave. My final note of advice is, if it's just a bad restaurant, go elsewhere. Sometimes it's the morale and integrity of the restaurant as a whole that is compromised. wink
I didn't take it back--I was in a rush, on my way to a meeting, didn't notice until I was too far away to do anything about it. And on top of that, I dislike having to do that sort of thing anyway. It always makes me feel like a b***h, even if I am somewhat justified. xD I ate the snack wrap and went on my way.
Being on the receiving end of verbal abuse from customers--trust me, I get to deal with that stuff aaaall the damn time, so I'm always super conscious of my attitude when I'm the customer with a problem. Heh.

I have an internal hemorrhoid! I got prescribed suppositories today and the pill is like two and a half inches long, no exaggerations! I have to take one every four hours!
and my powerbook it 5 years old and the battery is not so good. this causes the screen to go black at random! I have to shut the screen and open it to get it to come back on! this is very annoying! I called interstate batteries today and a new battery would cost 119 dollars! I'm not made of money!
I was walking around in Gaia towns the other day, struttin' showing off my new corn hat. and this 12 year old girl said 'ur ugly' and walked away!
arghh!
