Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

Hey Stinky and Lightning Schnooglet :)
There you are :) Finally, ek se. Your absence grinded my gears, you know?
I bet your exam results were better than you expected, eh? Eh?? (If not, please forgive and forget that I asked).
How are your kiddies doing?
 
i hate how hard it is to find a laptop with a good screen. phones thats all people talk about, amoled ips etc but laptops just no one cares.

i have a sony Z and its the best screen on a laptop other than the HP dreamcolor screens. which just strikes me as kinda weird. i'm going to give up on screens tho and get a tough little thinkpad, maybe an external ips display or something.
 
Go look for a laptop that a graphics designer or pro photographer might use if he had to.
Then get a monitor calibration kit and calibrate it.

you got me looking again, but believe me, i've looked. i did find that the lenovo w520 display is pretty good:

but it still falls short of my current one:

i did in fact build a laptop with a supposed 95% gamut display, and i think it was the same one as the w520 because i did notice better light blues, but not as good deep blues etc.

the only other option is the dreamcolor which is obscenely expensive, and then i'd be gaining at least 4lbs. i quite like my 3.6lbs set up right now, i just want something sturdier and with more processing power.
 
Customers drive me crazy. You think cutting in the drive through is funny? No it screwed up everything and I have to pay for it. I've been so rude to some customers lately. You cut, this is what I say. Your drive your car around and take your order at the speaker phone.

Some people are so cheap I can't even believe it. This one guy complained about me to the big boss because I charged for sauce.

Oh I could go on for days about working the drive-thru. But wendy's never did make me pay for customer screw ups.

The most annoying thing was that you had to have a manager authorization for every voided item. It's pretty common for customers to say 'You know what, forget the frosty, I'll get a chili instead' only to end up changing back and getting the frosty anyway. :mad:

Then you had the assholes who would get mad at me because I don't hable espanol. Not my problem dickweeds.

Then my boss was a downright b****. Terrible attitude, inconsistent application of rules, etc. I was in high school and working 40 hours a week, no breaks, even for meals etc.

I was less than courteous to her when I quit that job(wasn't counting on her for a reference anyway).

Let's keep the language PG-13'ish please. A lot of folks have little ones around when reading the boards.

PS: I think anyone involved in the fast food industry from customer, employee, franchisee, distributor, etc. could probably opine here easily. In a mass production industries the one flaw in 1,000,000 successful transactions becomes the focal point.:(

How do you cut in a drive through line? :confused:
 
I'm guessing because McDonald's has those double drive-throughs somebody pulled ahead to the window when the other lane was supposed to go first.

That's happened to me a lot at McDonalds. Glad my local one doesn't have the double lane.
 
I hate the double lanes. I don't see how it makes things any faster, but I'm sure they've done millions of dollars of research on it.
 
No there's one lane. So someone makes an order then someone who doesn't make an order cuts in front of that person. They pay for something cheap like a coke and they go ahead and get it when they didn't offer it. I can't notice it because it's not in my line of sight. The person behind who ordered a coke ends up paying $27 for something they didn't order and then tell me after I told them how much their order is but their too clueless to notice that I said 27 dollars. So we have to do a refund.

This happened 3 times in a row.
 
Wow, I never had that happen, but our drive-thru lane was isolated from the parking lot, so it wasn't possible to cut in line.
 
you kow what totally confuses me??? the stupid double drive through lane at Rally's..... er....Checkers..its on both sides of the building....who goes to the left side?? and why ? post office trucks? drivers ed cars? british drivers?? what?

Have you ever had that (drunk) friend that just HAS to have a burger fix? Well, that is the lane for them. You get the 'pleasure' of driving then to the restaurant and they get the task of ordering/paying and don't have to use the 'middle man' (you) to order for them :D

Awww man I cannot say how nice it is to say something to you and not feel judged or mocked feel like I can just speak my mind and it feels so good to be so open with out being told I need 5000000 million pills and that there is everything wrong with me :)

I am not doing too well at all :(

My exams did not go well at all as I really wanted them too and I earn next to nothing but your post has luckily brightened my really really shitty day. :D

Sometimes I feel like welcoming death with open arms... but must try some how carry on.

Pain is knowledge isn't it... right? sometimes i really don't know

Pain grinds my gears but this is life in a way isn't it hey. ;)

Well I guess what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger. ;)

Thank Kaat72 I am extremely grateful.

Take care.
