rants Haters/Complainers: Legacy of Spleen

[The_annoying_one]

I don’t guess I’ll ever understand social interaction. After about 5-10 minutes of useless small talk, I’m more than ready for people to get the hell away from me.

And this whole rant applies to this exact moment. I am very close to losing my cool.

[cyberbully]

I was a comic book kid, and for years, long before the X-Men Saturday morning cartoon existed, I thought Magneto was just pronounced magnet...O.

Why would I think otherwise....when I found out it was Mag-neato, I questioned everything I had ever read.

[Seight]

"The 2030 World Cup will be held in Spain, Portugal, Morocco-"

Me: "Yeah, that makes sense"

"-Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay."

Me: "what the fuck?"

There is little I hate as much as yard work. The weeds just never stop. One of the main reasons I bought this house was the lack of trees, and thus the lack of leaves and sticks and acorns and other crap to pick up. My last house had 34 trees in the yard, and it was a nightmare. But here I am with weeds growing in the flower bed again, and if I don’t get them out the HOA will be calling. I wish I could garden virtually like I do everything else.

Strap in, ladies and gentlemen. It’s time for yet another Amazon rant.

 I bought a dog training collar about a month ago. Within a week, it stopped functioning completely. Only thing I could do is try to get a refund. The deadline for the return was today. I wasn’t able to go return it because it’s been a busy week and I haven’t been feeling too well today.

 I then learn that getting an extension on your Amazon return is supposedly easy, so I try that. Nope. “This return process has been completed. You may not start another return on this product.”

$36 right down the shitter.

Check your area and see if there's a Pollinator Protection thing. Basically it allows you to allow wildflowers/flowering weeds to go nuts in an area as a safe haven for pollinators because so many are endangered. I think you need to do simple things like register the area and get a sign alerting the reason for the floral wilding but it allows you to legally not give a crap about a part of your yard for a set period of time every year because it's actually good for the environment. 

I hate wanting to do a ton of things on a day off and having exactly zero energy to do much of any of it.

I also hate finding book worms on my shelves.  I clean every shelf twice a year without fail because I hate nesting spiders. I've found spiders everywhere and bug-holes in books on three different, separate shelves so far. WTF are you eating, spiders, since you obviously aren't earning your brief keep destroying those bastards. I have the bedroom shelves left to pull apart this fall which is happening Sunday. I better not find bug-holes in anything else.

I feel like I’m getting a cold.

Just lovely….

[André Toulon]

This boy knows how to fuck a day up. He's got some after school field trip so now I have to stay sober until 6pm to pick him up.

[The_annoying_one]

Just got out of bed within the past hour on account of a fairly severe headache. Within a few minutes of being up, my sister calls me.

”Hey. I have some things to do and I need to hurry. Would you mind watching the kids for a little bit?”

What I tried to say: “I’m sorry. I just feel like crap today.”

What I actually said: “Yeah, sure. Bring ‘em over. It’s fine.”

 I hate my brain sometimes. 

[fullmetal_pirate]

Ok, three interviews, 2 “corporate games” and and what basically amounts to an IQ test…Do I have the fucking job or not?

 No, the offer gets pulled for everyone last minute because of “restructuring.”

[katt_goddess]

Of all the things to regenerate, I did not need the esophageal muscles responsible for vomiting to self-repair. I was fine with the nausea. I'm not fine with needing a Listerine breath strip in order to go to sleep. 

[fullmetal_pirate]

Still no answer. I’m getting sick of this.

[The_annoying_one]

So, I guess someone just ignored me when I asked for no tomatoes on my hamburger. Why even ask for my preferences then?

[Seight]

I can both appreciate MJF's defense of the angle he's in right now AND think there's really no good time for the story to be "Wrestler threatens other wrestler, who is Jewish, with a roll of quarters with his name on it."

[The_annoying_one]

It dawns on me that not a single friend or family member has reached out to me today to see how I’m doing.

That’s fine, though. Just wait until they need a sympathetic ear. It will not be mine.

[[classic swim]]

Neo Ultra Mike is a complete fucking idiot. I’m saying this here because I’m not allowed to flame there but I hope someone smacks his dumb fucking face.

[fullmetal_pirate]

Still waiting to be cleared on my background check, and I called my mom to see how she’s doing and tell her about my job. She talks about herself for literally two hours while I sit in silence. When I broke in to tell her something, she suddenly needed to go. But first she made a crack about how us kids keep calling her and keeping her on the phone for hours so she can’t get anything done. It’s slowly dawning on me in recent years that my mother is a narcissist.

[The_annoying_one]

There’s a nasty stomach bug going around my neighborhood. I haven’t caught it yet but I know people who have.

Every single time I go to take my dog out, these same people think they need to come over to talk to me. Fuck off with your virus, assholes. I mean it. 

[viperxmns]

There aren't many worse mundane self let-downs as realizing you underfilled your sandwich

[André Toulon]

Stg, I need to figure out how to get someone who is a constant liability out of my life....but it doesn't seem likely that I can.

How can you keep getting into these damn near sitcom level situations and then come to me for help....or in this instance, send your problem to me, telling them I can fix it....I have no fucking clue what you did to even get here. I can't fix it because idek what happened and the entire situation seems to me that you should have stayed out of it. 

[MasqueradeOverture]

Fuck you

[The_annoying_one]

I tried to buy Resident Evil 4 from the PlayStation store last night because it was supposed to be 75% off. That only applies to the PS3 version. PS4 & 5 are still $60. You won’t be getting my money, scammers!

[Gemini]

I know you've been through a lot of stuff. That's why I was reaching out and giving you my contact info. I thought you would've wanted to talk about it to someone you've known for a long time. I thought you needed a friend.

But nah, you went to "aren't you married to *soon-to-be ex-wife*?" instead of saying thank you. Forget it.

[Seight]

"It's not Rayman, it's a parody of Rayman"

"ubisoft that doesn't make it make any more sense that you signed off on it"

[katt_goddess]

The plunger on the French press stripped its tread or something mid-plunge. I now have half a coffee carafe that may or may not surprise me with a sludge waterfall. 

Messing with my coffees, bold move French press.

[The_annoying_one]

Apple won’t accept my credit card info but Amazon will? This infuriates me!!

Also, my dog is acting weird.

[katt_goddess]

*orders another bookcase for delivery

'Hey! For only $70 more, you can have someone put it together for you or walk you through the process over your computer!'

It's a damn bookcase, not the next submarine for billionaire tourists. Check your history, this is like my 10th one from you. The instructions are in stick figures. Pay me $70 for even seeing that suggestion - that would make the bookcase free and I could order a pizza and wings with the extra.

I've taken my aggression out on the beggar squirrel who has figured out she can jump high enough to reach the bird feeder to raid it...by hitting her with a super soaker through the window every time she's jumped on it all day today. It wouldn't be so bad but she's knocking things over and keeping the little birds from getting anything. Let the wrens have their feeder - they toss the peanut bits on the ground anyway as too big for them so eat them then, ya furry flying pig. 

[The_annoying_one]

At this point, I almost think I would gladly give up my right arm if this monster headache that I’ve had since 9am would just…..go…..away…..

[Seight]

You know things are going bad for a team you cheer for when the first thing you think after seeing "They have fired their Offensive Coordinator" is "GOOD, DESERVED."

[[classic swim]]

Two small sticks of deodorant and a small pack of soap are  20 dollars in total!

[The_annoying_one]

I’m locked out of my bank account for probably the next 2 weeks because of a fraudulent transaction that I didn’t make. This should be fun….

I’m not in a remotely good mood right now. 

[Lynnrael]

having one of those nights where dysphoria and stress are making me want to rip my skin off and pull my brain out of my head through my eye sockets. everything is infuriating and nothing is ok right now

hopefully Benadryl, melatonin, and valerian will help. can't be... whatever the fuck this is if I'm not conscious 

[The_annoying_one]

So much bullshit, so little time.

 

Eh….don’t mind me. I’m just exhausted.

[[classic swim]]

I don’t know why you’d pride yourself on your “apolitical policy” when it just means you’ll only favor what 1 bigot has to say, then push me aside to tell me that I need permission to speak when I’m annoyed.

If you only accommodate fascists then just say that. I don’t consent to the discipline fetish, your-highness.

 

 

[The_annoying_one]

I get a FB notification that another admin in a group I manage broke community standards. Then, I get another notification that my group has been permanently taken down by FB.

Finally, I get a final notification that my account is permanently suspended because of something someone else did. I just filed an appeal, but I’m not hopeful. Fuck these stupid motherfuckers, anyway. 

[katt_goddess]

Someone is cutting corners at McD's. Their fries weren't nearly as salty as I remember nor did they stay crisp longer than a few minutes once out of the bag. I inhaled them anyway since I'm starving but almost didn't fight the nausea because of the disappoint. 

Don't screw with my damn fries. I get them so rarely as it is. 

[The_annoying_one]

I got a letter in the mail today saying that my health insurance is scheduled for termination because they need updated information on me. The letter says I have 2 weeks to respond, or my insurance will be cancelled on November 1st. The letter is dated Sept 19th….

I’ve been calling my insurance company all day and they will not answer the phone. I’ve been trying their website and it’s very glitchy.

I might be in pretty serious trouble here….

[molarbear]

A science infection so you do the responsible thing and go to bed early....

 

except you end up sleeping on a pillow or something and now I'm walking around like a human pretzel and a sneeze slightly over the level of "elderly lady in a retirement home that sounds like a mouse" could take me out of commission for a couple days  

[Seight]

Congratulations to the Craftsman Truck Series drivers for finding the line between "Wow, what an exciting race!" and "okay this is getting kind of stupid now" and just blowing right past it.

[mthor]

WTF, Family $?! No flour?

[The_annoying_one]

I have an opportunity to possibly help out a family member in a pretty big way. But this help could come back to bite me in an even bigger way.

Rock, meet hard place.

[André Toulon]

"Sir, your last payment was less than the minimum amount"

"Ma'am, your bill is more than the maximum amount I'm willing to send you.....now I know you're just doing your job, but don't let them get you cussed out".

[The_annoying_one]

Ate a Hungry Man frozen dinner for lunch today. Before I even started to peel the plastic off, I see a few stray hairs in my food. I know it wasn’t mine, because the hairs were black. Mine’s brown. Might be angry email time.

[André Toulon]

I'm not phone snob in the idea that I need the newest shit, but I'm only buying LGs or Motorola's....Google phones suck and I finally just took that dying ass shit back.

Got a Moto stylus something or other and it's lost 3% since I got it 4 hours ago. This is after setup and redownloading my apps....

 

[Seight]

My choices are as follows:

• Do the flat mailer jobs when they come out, knowing that more are coming and that each one takes 4-6 hours to print and 1-2 hours for me to sort
• Wait for the next day to do it, knowing that more are coming
• Call the marketing department of the casino/resort sending these out and ask them what the hell their problem is (this won't do anything good but would make me feel better)

[The_annoying_one]

“I don’t feel so great. I think I’ll eat some Taco Bell.”

My brilliance is boundless sometimes….

[katt_goddess]

Frickin' birds have been running their beaks non-stop since Tuesday. Nothing will shut them up. 

You little bastards are the reason I'm fine with going back to work in the morning - dealing with carens and their screeching spawn will seem like silence compared to the last few days.

Why is the PS5 controller cord so damn short?
