Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

Happens bro thanx xx
Was too scared to mention that twitchy urge to jst punch em on back of head in a fast, clean cull hehe me jst kidin on oldys.. im old!
 
Amazon. Or pretty much every site that puts their prices up AS SOON AS I WANT SOMETHING... And also Scan for having their shipment of SSD's overdue.
 
Google Now doesnt recognise Scottish football (soccer, our national sport) teams!
We (glasgow celtic) played Juventus (huge italian team which gNow does recognise) tonight in the Euro's.
Google.... what has scotland done to offend you. Youve already been caught not paying your taxes here.
AND ive NEVER had a News Card and from using my search data, you should know im interested in foreign affairs.
Consider yourself disabled/frozen and ill enjoy the extra battery life! :thumbup:
 
Got another one! Sorry if someone else said this, I just don't feel like reading all 60 pages, or I would have to add "reading threads that take over 60 pages" to my rant!

I don't like it when people say "I'm gonna take a break from facebook", or any other such social media, then go right back in a few days because they can't do it.

Once, I completely deleted my account. I will not waste your time with details. I came back after about a month and a half and created a whole new account.

I realized I'm probably always going to be addicted to it, mainly because I talk so much. Also, I've been able to encourage people and find people I was able to lend a hand to, that I just couldn't otherwise. There are too many good aspects of it for me to EVER do that again!

So, before you say you're doing that, think it through. Then, DO IT! DO NOT just say it. Nobody wants that adult male cow excrement.

Well we're having a referendum (vote) on weather we should stay part of britain and be ruled by a government noone in scotland voted for or not.
Do google honestly disapprove lol or are u bustin my balls lol?? :beer:
 
Why do we Americans sell the public drugs like Intermezzo?! The ad shows every time I watch hulu or the like.
This is a SLEEPING drug for pete's sake! and the side effects include "trouble breathing or swallowing"?!
WT-HECK?
What doctor in their right mind would prescibe a drug for SLEEPING that might stop your breathing, or make it way more likely you'll choke on sputum or emesis? Might as well prescribe large doses of heroin. Same damn thing. Heroin (or any other opioid) depresses your respirations at the level of your brain stem.
Sleeping + Stopping breathing. Those don't mix last time I checked.

This is unfortunately typical of the FDA.

It's all about the Benjamins.

Makes me weep.

If it's advertised, someone will want it. Everyone looking for a "miracle" of some sort. If there's another rumored benefit, like it lets you eat junk food and not gain weight, it would be in high demand. By rumored, someone uses the drug, notices another effect, posts it on Facebook, and the whole damn thing goes viral.
I think the whole industry is crazy.

Look at the drug Lyrica - used to be pushed for Fibromyalgia (?)
Now it's for pain from a form of Diabetes. Both diseases are painful, both do need some alleviating meds, but what does this say about Lyrica, prescriptions, and ads on TV?

Want to get even madder? TV interview - Big Pharma will pay generic drug company not to make generic as long as original drug is profitable.
 
I've never posted on FB. I have everything marked private. I will keep the account as long as I can and as long as some businesses have their customer service on FB.

We have some smaller Android devs that do that. I've clicked on visit web site, and it's Facebook.
 
Too many options for someone who doesn't like making solid choices...

First graphics cards, then mouses? And now, finally keyboards. :-(

We're here for you:) I still think a long vacation would do some good. ..
 
I really don't like it when my employer demands a certain amount of work, but refuses to provide the facilities and equipment I require to accomplish said work...

They have a huge budget, they spend millions of dollars every month on maintenance, yet they can't let go of $100K so that my coworkers and I can work without tripping over each other...
