    Default Sick of People!

    My rant....

    I called Comcast to get a CableCard for my home theater (think PC card instead of tuners, gets all channels) so they tell me to run to their store to get one. I go to the store in Littleton, they are out. Arghh. Plus, they have no way of contacting another store because they have no phones - intentionally. Really? No phones? Wow. Apparently, I'm told, Comcast doesn't want employees making or taking phone calls - ever.

    So I run to the Acoma store (30 minutes away), wait in line for 30 minutes to be told "nope we don't have them either". At least this woman had the sense to instant message ANOTHER store and found one for me. I was pretty pissed and she gave me a $300 credit on my account for my trouble.

    So, another 30 minute drive to Wheatridge, another 45 minutes standing in line and I finally get my damn card. While I'm waiting in line, this fat mexican broad cuts the line and goes right to the counter. Fortunately the Comcast folks said "back in line". I go out to get the hell out of there and someone blocked THREE cars in. There were no parking spaces left, so this person though it wise to just park right behind three cars. Arghhh.

    I go inside and ask who has the silver Grand Prix. Guess who? Yup, the fat mexican woman. I tell her she's blocking me and she says "yea, there was no place to park" but didn't make a move to take care of it. I tell her "mind moving your car please so I can leave?". Begrudgingly she goes out and moves her car to the nearest Handicapped spot. Whatever. Queen of the ass-hats apparently.

    As I start my car I can hear her say "you're welcome" (I have a convertible, so easy to hear it). I ignore her because I'm thinking "really? You block me in and I'm supposed to thank you?". I start pulling out and hear her again say "Your Welcome". Ignored again. Finally she screams "YOU'RE WELCOME" and that was it, I was over the edge now. After wasting nearly four hours on this stupid card, now I have this twat? I stopped, rolled down my window and told her "you expect me to thank you for blocking me in and then doing me the big favor of dragging your fat ass out here to move your car? Learn some manners you cow." She was dumfounded and I left the poor excuse for a human being there to look as stupid as she acts.

    People suck. Rant over .

    +1. People do suck. Afraid as time goes by it only gets worse with each generation. That's why old people aren't afraid of death. They are sick and tired of dealing with people and just want out.

    I hate people too!

    I had some broad walking her dog (or was it the other way around?)...

    I'm coming down the path and call out "on the left" as a courtesy to say "I'm coming through", any way, she goes to the left, but her dog, who obviously is in control, decides to block traffic and goes right (on a leash), the dog doesn't listen and a tug-'O-war ensues.. I come to a halt right near her while she drags her dog out of the way. I didn't say anything at all, but she says to me "it's ok", I don't say anything and again, she raises her voice and says it again and again, each time putting a more hostile tone on it. I just wanted to move on, but I guess she wanted to be vindicated that she was being nice to me

    I almost went back and let her have it, saying that it was not ok that she didn't have control of her dog and I wasn't about to make her feel better for it.

    don't get me started about "people" who almost kill you when you're on a motorcycle and they think that "sorry" or "sorry I didn't see you" is OK. put your phone down, pull your head out and pay attention...

    ok, you can now resume your normal day

    Yesterday I decided it was time to get new glasses. My wife got hers eyes examined last week, and is waiting for them to be ready for pick up. I went to the same Lenscrafters. The wife and I were there for over 2 hours, I got my exam, picked out frames, got them fitted, after my insurance paid still owed $600, damn! My glasses were ready in about an hour, just like the ads say.
    The wife and I headed over to Green Mountain guns, picked out a new .45, mags, grips, and a new holster, and were heading home. Her phone rang, it was Lenscrafters, her glasses were ready... REALLY??? When we got there, the same guy who she had asked when we first got there for my glasses if hers were in, (he said they were not) had a dumb look on his face, "Welcome back, forget something?"

    That's a common theme nowadays. People aren't brought up to carry their own load and take responsibility for their own actions.

    If people taught their children to be honest and respectful it would solve most of the problems we have. Compound laziness with disrespectful, now we have the right ingredients for me to go off on someone.

    We need more John Wayne and less rap music.

    Ranger, you could have stopped after "I called Comcast," and your rant would have been complete. They just suck that bad everywhere.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.

    Should've done a burnout in front of her while giving her both fingers.
