WTF did you just say?:confused::confused::confused:
 
state law is 2:30 am cutoff for alcohol sales but the store decided that 2 am is their cutoff...so i qq'd and raged about it
 
Last minute decision, my boss isn't paying us holiday pay. Time to start looking for a new job. I won't take being abused like that.
 
When you're walking the dog and then a heavy downpour comes right on top of you and you're on the other side of the apartment complex now standing in the freezing rain with an 80lb lab who doesn't like rain.
 
This grinds my gears quite a bit.

After having your phone updated to 2.2, having to swype across, down, over, whatever, twice or three times because the lock screen is always so choppy that it doesn't register your gesture the first couple times.
 
People who use cash or write checks at checkout. Get with the times and use debit/credit cards! It's faster and you can actually get some benefits back.
 
What grinds my gears? Grows ass men who act like 10 year olds. Here I am trying to explain something to you and you go on a rant because I replied to your post 3 hours later AND because my post is more than 2 sentences. Really? GTF Over it! It aint my fault your Blackberry is power-cycling 10 times in 1 day. You said you were thinking about getting the Evo, I posted a quick rundown on how much better off you'd be with an android and because your brother said to keep the BB to avoid paying the $10 4G Fee I clearly advised him that the fee wasn't specifically for 4G service. Excuse the f*ck out of me for trying to be helpful by clearing things up. Unfortunately some people dont live on Facebook all day and some people have more to say than 10 words that equal a load of bull... SMH. People these days...
 
OK, this isn't an iPhone rant, but it has to do with them.
So, I got my first android last week, simple enough. I stop at a few stores to check out some cases so I don't have anywhere to set the phone when it's in my truck or at work, i'd rather have it in something besides bouncing around all over.

Of course, every store has tons and tons of cases,Different sizes, colors, shapes. But about 95% of them are literally made for the iPhone. I know it's a popular thing these days, but god, there is other phones. Almost every case I saw that wasn't for an iPhone was for either a small flip phone, and there was 1 or 2 for BB's. Nothing big enough to fit this phone. Most were plenty tall, just not deep enough. I could force it into a couple, but didn't want to do that.

I know I know...."iPhones are popular, what do you expect"....still. The places that are selling the Androids don't even have any kind of cases for them around here. It's pretty lame in reality.

Personally, I don't mind the iPhone, it's ok, a friend of mine's got one, and i'd love to have an iPad, but I can't justify paying so much for the crap. Just like their pc's(and laptops). Just too pricey for what it's worth.

Rant#2: If I see(or hear) that damn iPad commercial again, i'm gonna puke. Every commercial during Sunday's football games had it and it's annoying as hell.
 
After a year and a half i finally found a job which barely pays enough for me to survive....


After talking with others at the workplace I have learned that there has been NO RAISES OF ANY KIND FOR 6 YEARS

fml:(
 
The fact that I've filled out at least 30 applications since I was 'released' from the call center and I haven't had ONE callback. This is ridiculous! This recession is a real b*tch. :mad:
 
I didn't read every reply to see if this was one of them, but mine is seeing a $600 car with $4000 worth of wheels on it and the wheels are sooooooo big the car looks like a cartoon
 
Companies spend a lot of time and money researching the best marketing for their products. The Android Droid is a robot, not an android.

I'm new to forums, don't know where this should be posted.

Fun fact and tip for elevator rides across many floors. If you don't want to stop, follow these instructions.

When you first step in the elevator, once everyone is in, hold the door close button. Don't let go. Once the door is closed, press and hold the floor number you want to go to. You must hold both the door close, and floor button. Do not let go, until the elevator starts moving. At that point, let off and enjoy the ride. This is what police officers and firemen do occasionally if the need arises to get where they need to go. Did it in my dad's office building the other day (right at the time everyone goes for lunch, up to the 6th floor) and I didn't have one stop. Going up, nor down. ;D

Sweet! I'll definitely remember that

There's something about going up 7 floors without a stop using no cheats ;) It happened for me when I went up to visit my fiance and new daughter in the hospital. All 7 floors, it was epic lol
 
Ok... here's the background to my rant....I work in a network shop (UK)

iPhone customers, a specific breed of person that gets on my nerves.

'Hello i'd like an iPhone please'

Ok i say, well do you know they are
 
Work related:
(I test code for insurance claims processing)
If I send your crap code back because it doesn't work don't argue with me via email for three days telling me it does when, in fact, it DOESN'T!! Don't, three freakin' days later, ask me if I have the wrong documentation when I don't. Then, most importantly, don't make me wait after YOU contacted me through MS Communicator while you access the documentation to double check everything and then say "oh, I see the problem, I put the wrong code in"!! I don't have time for this you dumb-ass!!
I'm still waiting for my code :eek:

I was just about to post this! SO annoying. The people that do this are usually quite fat too. Makes you want to just say, "Hey, maybe you wouldn't be this way if you weren't so lazy."
 
People with new super phones whining about their battery not lasting for three days like their old razr or blackberry did. Come on people!
