LOL!!<br /><br />And I thought I was the only up-tight person!<br /><br />Good one Meant2Be.<br /><br />How about the car in a McDonalds drive up window:<br />1 person in the car ordering enough food to feed the entire baseball team and fans?<br /><br />"I would like 350 cheesburgers, 1/3 of them no pickles, the rest no onions, etc..."<br /><br />You feel like pulling them through their wing window and askinig them what the definition of "FAST FOOD" is?<br /><br />GO INSIDE YOU MORON!<br /><br />I got one the other day while at Walmart. They have these two checkers in the back that HAS to be the slowest around. (Long story behind one of them in particular - Needless to say, she'd be late to her own funeral)<br /><br />On one occasion I was behind a person checking out with a bunch of the SAME IDENTICAL item. <br />What did this "Gods gifts to checkers" do? She scanned EACH item seperately. I must have stood there 15 minutes wating. She knew I was Po'd.<br /><br />On another occasion, the Wife and I got the 'I forgot my checkbook' from the person in front of us. Mind you, there was quite a line behind us as well.<br />And this is what the checker said: " Oh go ahead, run and get it..These people won't mind waiting" !!!!<br />Excuse me? Did you ask if I minded? Who made you the speaker of all paying customers standing in line?<br /><br />LOL...I promptly told her, " As a matter of fact, we DO mind waiting !" We left the products on her counter and left the store.<br /><br />After I shattered my foot a while back, I just can't stand around like that anymore.<br />The checker must know the owner or something, cause I know she has complaints against her!<br /><br />Just as bad as the Post Office, er uh..I mean DMV. Is there a differance?<br /><br />H.

Women putting on makeup while driving and talking on the cell phone.<br /><br />Why do retired people choose noon time on a Friday to do their banking?<br /><br />Our so-called educated society that can't make change without a machine telling them how much. Actually saw 1 the other day that displayed how many pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters were neccessary. If only it also showed a picture of the change, we could have monkees do it.<br /><br />I live in an area of primarily retired vacationers (Snowbirds). They think nothing of traveling in the right lane, cutting in front of other 2 lanes of traffic doing 60+ to turn left for a yard sale. <br />Why do they have out of state checks, get mad when you will not take it for a $100.00 repair bill but they have a full money clip on them? Sure I'll take your check and wait 2 weeks for it to clear, then buy my groceries just so you can buy lottery tickets......not.

Well next year McDonalds is surpose to start taking plastic. (Dang on it, another new change thats gonna require some 3rd shift work) How much is the intrest on a Big Mac?<br /><br />Being on the road alot as a service tech, the one thing that urks me is the slow poke that does 15 under the posted limit on a 2 lane road. Then when he gets on a 4 lane, it is pedal to the floor. I guess they try to make up the time they lost on the 2 lane. Stupid idiots.<br /><br />High speed pursuits.....Why don't they make it a law that deadly force will result when ANYONE flees from the police? If you run, your fair game to be shot!<br /><br />Also while I'm on this pursuit thing, why don't they try to disable the cars radiator? Cars can't go to far in an overheated condition, they will sieze up and stop. Tires being punctured are creating more of a hazard to bystanders and the stupid idiots keep driving at high speeds on the rims anyway.<br /><br />Everyone have a great turkey day....SS

Re: RANTS post 'em here

Plastic at McDonalds...Yep that's what I thought I seen the other day. There was a person in front of me at the drive up window handing over plastic. <br /><br />Yep, slow cars in the fast lane torques us all.<br /><br />Here's som more:<br /><br />'Green Light Granny's' (As I call them)<br />These are the people who wait for a green light to turn right at an intersection. In Oregon anyways, you can turn right after you stop at the red, or left onto a one-way.<br /><br />Wednesdays is senior day in my area. This is the day a lot of stores have their senior discounts.<br />I call this day 'Grey hair and knuckles' day, cause that's all you can see on the steering wheel in front of you!<br /><br />No, I'm not trying to flame our seniors. In fact, I respect them quite well. <br />I love nothing more than to sit down and LISTEN to what they have to offer. The stories they have from an uncorrupt society of yesteryear...<br /><br />H.

Re: RANTS post 'em here

Last week I pissed a woman off in the supermarket. She'd spent all the time blocking the isle withher trolley in the centre and her kids hanging either side totally forbidding people to pass.<br />Well diddums here made a comment and forged ahead past the obstruction after a couple of minutes.<br />I was quietly cheered on by a couple of other shoppers.<br />Response from miss blocking the isle was, "**** You".<br />I turned to face her, took a long look up and down her body and responded with, "No thank you". <br />Well you could have cut the air with a knife, she was so embarrassed she shot off into the neither regions of the store. I was right chuffed and that was the second time that response had worked for me.<br />Ross

Hi Ross J, <br />RE: Response from miss blocking the isle was, "**** You". What a great come back.<br />Here's another, the College Professor instructed the class that the term paper was due Monday and there would be no acceptable excuse for not having it done. The class clown interrupted and asked, hey teach, "what if I spent the entire weekend having uninterrupted sex, would that be a good enough excuse?" The Professor responded, "No, and I suggest you write the paper with your other hand."

Re: RANTS post 'em here

Why in the world do people decide to Christmas shop on the day after Thanksgiving?? Is it a Lemming thing?? <br /><br />If the media says it's going to be the "busiest day of shopping in the entire year"-why do people "pile on". <br /><br />I'm starting to sound like Andy Rooney here. <br /><br />I just don't get it. I got better deals shopping in April.

Re: RANTS post 'em here

I sure would like to know why when a terrible tragedy involving a death of a loved one, and that it is an obvious accident. Why does the law enforcement try to find loop holes to file charges?<br /><br />There has been two cases this past week around the Cleveland area. One of them was a grand mother driving a 95 Dodge Caravan with her 5 year old grand daughter. They both we belted in until she got into the parking lot. The grand daughter undone her seat belt while her grandma was pulling into her parking spot at a department store. There was a chuck hole right in front of the concrete bumper (which happens to alot of lots that have these concrete bumpers on asphalt) which somehow she bumped againt the bumper. Both air bags deployed killing the little girl. Now they want to press charges against the grandma. Why? I feel that her loosing her grand daughter is the worst thing that can be done to this woman.<br /><br />Second case. Mother and Father stopped by their house just for a minuet to run in and grab some clothes leaving a 18 month old in his car seat. As they run in, some lowlife stole their car with the baby. A day later someone took the child to a firestation and turned it in and left. The car was found a couple of blocks from the station. Now they are wanting to press charges against the parents for child endangering and leaveing a motor vehicle unattended while running. I think this is crap.<br /><br />It is getting to be a sad time to live in when the victims end up being the ones charged because of something generated by someone else.<br /><br />I did learn that in Ohio that it is unlawful to leave your car running with nobody in it. This is really stupid. Everyone I know that has children/elderly starts there car up when it is freezing out to let the interior warm up.<br /><br />Our transportation laws on theft should be the way it was in the horse a buggy days...HANGING. Yeah, I think the death penalty would eliminate alot of pursuits as well as car thieves since they are the ones that puts innocent bystanders at risk. Or we do as in other countries, booby trap your car to catch the thief! Who cares what happens to them,,,,I DON'T!<br /><br />I would like to see the old stockaids brought back, put them on the town square where the criminals can be put on display. What happens to them then is up to the public. This would be good for the non-violent criminals.

by far the 2 worst for me are "telemarketers" and<br />junk mail. I tell the TM's to hold on a sec, then I hang up. <br />how many trees are cut so they<br />can send me a catalog from petsmart?

Re: RANTS post 'em here

I do alot of driving in for my job and so many things bother me when it comes to other drivers. My biggest peave of all is jerks that think it's neccessary to drive with their fog lights on. Where's the fog? Most states have a law about more than 2 forward lights, or auxillary lighting, but the police don't enforce it. I recently installed a pair of those bright purple fog lights only to turn them on when I meet cars running their fogs... mine make the inside of their car look like its on fire

Re: RANTS post 'em here

SS Mayfloat...those are sad, bizarre cases indeed. And then they do nothing to Michael Jackson after holding a baby 4 or 5 stories over a balcony rail...Duh!<br /><br />Odd about the Ohio law. Does that make the remote starter thingies useles? It might be urban legend, but I've always heard its illegal to "coast" a car in neutral and to drive barefoot.
