Rant-n-Rave #13

Posted by rockyran on Aug. 20, 2006, 4:10 p.m.

Yaaaay, lucky 13. This RnR is going to be slightly different from the other previous ones, and you'll see why in a minute. But before that happens, I'd like to give a little sub RnR.

Something that's really ticking me off lately is when people's user page here in 64D have ridiculously small fonts. I see some users with fonts lower than 10 pt! I don't know about you, but I'd rather be sitting confortably in my chair a few feet away from the monitor instead of straining my eyes 1 centimeter away from the screen trying to read what the hell people are talking about. Make your fonts LARGER, people!

Ahem…this RnR is basically a compilation of my current and past pet peeves. So, here we go:

1. Getting permanent marker on my fingers

2. People calling the wrong number and ending up calling my house. More specifically, people who DON'T speak english at all.

3. Automated recordings calling your house. If the stupid business doesn't have time for you, why should you spend time for them?

4. People bashing religion. Not everyone has your same opinions, but just be civilized enough to respect them at least.

5. People who spend 20 minutes saying "I'm 1/3 Lebanese, 1/5 German, 9/17 Irish, 1/9943 Thai, 31/774 Russian…."

6. People pronouncing "theatre" as "thee-ai-tur"

7. People pronouncing "again" as "uh-gain"

8. Waiters in restaurants asking how you're doing every 5 seconds

9. Losing the remote of the TV/DVD player

10. People screaming at the top of their lungs at 2 AM in the morning. I'm supposed to live in a QUIET neighborhood!

11. My school system giving millions on dollars in their sport program, yet not being able to afford an exterminator to kill the roaches in the school.

12. The stupid "robin hood" education program in Texas. If you don't know about it, google it.

13. People talking like SUPER preps

14. Owen Wilson.

15. People calling me and asking "Who's this?"

16. Reality shows on TV

17. The stupid E-Harmony commercials on TV

18. The "Subaru" song the commercials always play "Every day is a winding roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooad"

19. Condescending arrogant fools who claim they know about computers more than anyone else and therefore think they're better at life than you.

20. Promoting "full basic cable". WTF?

21. Stupid cats singing at night

22. Dogs perpetually barking all day

23. People using "your" and "you're" interchangeably.

24. Teachers saying "it's YOUR responsibility" when they barely take any responsibilities on their own: "The tests will be done when they're done".

25. People yelling private things then accusing you of eavesdropping

26. Walking along the same route of someone else and he/she accuses you of stalking him/her

27. People saying "no offence" and end up mercilessly bashing.

28. Waiting hours upon hours at the doctor's

29. Cheesy infomerticals. I wonder often times if they're taking themselves seriously.

30. People who use AOL

31. People who spit randomly to the ground.

32. Stupid customer service people who think they're doing you a favor for taking back their crap.

33. Parents who let their children "ho" themselves up

34. Parents who make the biggest deal about having a baby, and not giving a crap about them when they're 18

35. People who dress trashily and think it's chic

36. People who like Abercrombie & Fitch just because it's expensive.

37. Quote from someone else whom I agree with %100: " People who dress to the nines to go to Walmart and bring their kids with their crusty noses, dirt rings around their necks, faded dirty clothes, and bare dirt crusted feet. I consider this a form of child abuse. These parents should be horsewhipped."

38. Boy bands, which oddly enough, sound like girls.

39. Conservatives against abortion but they send their kids to be blown up in the middle east.

40. People driving poorly because they're yakking on their cell phone.

41. Washington Mutual being called "WaMu"

42. People saying 8 cuss words out of 10 words they speak

43. Sarah Jessica Parker. Man is she ugly.

44. Subway Commercials

45. Domino's Commercials

46. Sonic Commercials

47. Teeny pop-crap

48. Any form of government not agreeing with the US government is automatically labelled as "communist"

49. People supporting the war on Iraq when they don't even know where it is on a map

50. People making out with someone different every week.

51. People constantly mispronouncing my name

52. Chat rooms where the conversations go nowhere and they talk about profanities like 12 year olds

53. Annoying teens talking on their cell phones all freakin' day.

54. Teens driving like maniacs showing off how they have cars and they have "freedom" then crashing one day later.

55. Plotless and shallow super-gory horror movies.

56. People laughing at farting and burping gags in movies. That has been around for….50 years and people still laugh at that.

57. Diet Sodas. If you're so thoughtful about your health, how about you drink effing water?

58. Water in restaurants tasting like pools with chlorine.

59. People "casually" mentioning their boyfriend/girlfriend when they're bragging about how they have one.

60. People leaving used diapers in the ground. Pick up your crap! And I mean that literally

61. People throwing cigarette buds out the window of a car.

62. Smokers conscious about how they "smell", but they proceed to stab their lungs with an ice pick.

63. Country music

64. People who enjoy to announce they just "owned" someone in public

65. Doing drugs just because it's cool. I'm sure premature death is cool as well.

66. People thinking that not eating at all will let you lose weight

67. People who say that spending time with other males makes you gay, if you have feelings you're gay, and if you don't have a girlfriend you're gay.

68. Americans shocked at the fact that there's countries around the world that don't like them

69. Americans saying that Osama Bin Laden is the most wanted man in the world.

70. Smokers saying they smoke to "deal with pain". So where exactly does getting lung cancer fall under "dealing with pain"?

71. Buildings freezing below 60 degrees F in the middle of the summer

That's all I can think of now. Perhaps I shall make another RnR listing more, but I think 70 is too many to be healthy.

Wow. NNice Rant & Rave. 70 things.. wow.

My biggest pet peeve that isn't on this list is:

People calling me gay because I don't want to go out with anyone.

Rez 18 years, 4 months ago

I agree with most of that. Nice blog. =)

Stained Glass 18 years, 4 months ago

Wow you have a lot of pet peeves, makes for a good blog.

72. People that get mad when ever you don't like something they made (even when you say it nicely), and get mad when you don't say anything.

melee-master 18 years, 4 months ago

I actually read all the 71 things… >_> ANd I agree with nearly all of them. Add this one:

There's me. I could actually read my font from afar. But I already changed it cuz the bold won't show. Hooray…<b>

melee-master 18 years, 4 months ago

It also annoys me when people have really big fonts.

NeutralReiddHotel 18 years, 4 months ago

Ok, now I read the whole thing.

I have to agree. AOL sucks.

There's two solutions to stopping them.

1. Start a fight(tends to work out more)

2. Smack them on the head.

Easy.
