Gee, maybe you'd notice that maybe half your fucking floor is empty? And since you know everybody down there, I might not be in as good a position as you to figure out who can answer my question? Or if you don't, you could just say that instead of being a snippy asshole about it? Fuck you, you blinkered shithead.

Step. Away. From. The. ATM. Right. Now. BITCH.
Seriously, if you have that many confusing transactions to perform on a Friday fucking afternoon, maybe you should go inside and employ the services of a teller instead of making all the rest of us stand out here and wait for your ass. Rude!!

Goddammit models are a flaky bunch. Stupid model doesn't show up, doesn't call, won't return my calls. I had to pay a waitress to stand in but she was too short and my whole photo shoot got ruined. (it was super nice of the waitress to agree, though) Then on the way home I got stuck in a massive clusterfuck on I-75, a semi truck caught fire and had the whole interstate shut down. Took me 3 hours to drive 4 miles. Fuck today.

Fucking kids. Leaving bike ramps in our driveway, then when I put it to the side continuing to set it up again and again. And where might the parents be? No idea.
Actually I went out to see if a crying girl was OK, she fell off her bike badly. Her brother yelled at her for crying. The kids in our neighborhood are jerks.
Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
Confiscate the ramp. If it is on your property it must belong to you.

We're having a conversation about the Fair Pay Act and women's rights in the workplace. You think government should just butt the hell out. You provide stupid* and uninformed**, but congenial answers to almost everyone (make that "every man") in the room. To me, you say "I'll deal with you when I have a minute".
What am supposed to think? That you are seriously pondering what I've said? Or that you are just a misogynist fuck and you think you are super awesome clever and so much better than me in every way. Asshole. Have you noticed that the other men in room are also arguing with you? You ought to get into the 21st century with the rest of us.
* "I should earn more, because what if my boss asks me to pick up a 100 pound box?" and "the IRS has no business knowing how much I make"
** "the government shouldn't be spending resources on researching & regulating all those businesses, how much is that gonna cost??!"

Oh no! We just got an important political opinion poll where everyone who answers it wins a FREE CRUISE TO THE BAHAMAS, courtesy of a political supporter, but you had to answer the questions with your number pad, and I WAS ON A ROTARY PHONE! NOOOOOOO!
This is actually the second time I've seen telemarketers trying to get around the no call list by doing some kind of survey, and then telling you you won something. I don't know what this one was for yet, but the other one was a consumer survey about allergies where you would win some coupons or something, personally delivered by a vacuum cleaner salesperson. So heads up.

How can anybody that has ever had medical procedure, like surgery, NOT find our insurance system a fucked up mess? The next time someone says "Our medical health care system is just fine" to me I am going to call them an imbecile and liar to their fucking face!
For one outpatient fairly routine surgery I have to somehow manage to determine if the anesthesiologist is in network, if the (optional) radiologist is in network, if the (optional) pathologist is in network, and if any surgical assistants are in network all at an in network facility with an in network surgeon. This is considered an excellent plan too, not Big Sam's Bail Bonds and Medical Insurance.
I have been under anesthesia multiple times and oversaw two surgeries for hubby and one for Kiddo and I never have been able to choose the anesthesiologist from a list, or even known his/her name prior to admittance, the dude or lady just showed up bedside and gave us a quick talk.

Just spent 5+ hours in the ER. Twisted and sprained my ankle. Have to follow up with my GP in 2 days to see if it's fractured or to get an u/s to check for ligament damage.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
While I am at it...hey insurance lady! Yes, I am well aware that there are many factors in a surgery that will determine what comes out of my pocket, that's why I called you! You don't need to tell me that's it's complicated even, because guess what? I know that, that's why I called you! . If I could rattle off my insurance policy from memory, or if there was a handy reference chart on my wall, I would be able to calculate shit on my own, but I don't, that's why I called you!
Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
Thank you for the condescending, pedantic reply. However, in the future, please craft your condescending, pedantic replies such that they answer the actual question I asked, rather than to a vaguely related, yet different question I didn't ask. Fuck you very much and have a shitty day.

I had the same experience yesterday. We asked the tech why putting our phones in meeting mode wasn't working and he replied with instructions how to put them in meeting mode. The instructions, by the way, are push the mode button and wait five seconds. Really, really difficult for someone with a master's degree to figure out, right?
He's lucky I got the response third party. I suspect my coworker didn't pass on the part of my reply instructing him not to talk to us like we're children.
