Relieve Stress: Rant

[r]Rants[/r]

things that bother me:
[list]
[]Dictionary.com self focuses the search input onLoad, so if you’re typing before the page loads, when it does focus, it selects your text and with you typing, you end up typing over it
[]Photoshop files can be like 5 times larger (filesize) than an equivalent Fireworks file
[]Copying PS slices into another document is so arcane. They couldnt add it into the duplicate option or allow for drag and drop?
[]Mac window sizing restricted to the lower right corner. One of my big complaints in the Mac interface. Really sucks for app panels and dual monitors at different res’s where sizing windows can mean needing to first move it into the higher res monitor just to reach the friggen little lower corner
[]How IE ftp (win) sometime crashes the explorer shell and how so many other ftp apps dont fully support drag and drop.
[]Activation
[]Remixes :wink:
[]How my DVD player doesnt automatically turn off like it should when its set to
[]How oreos are packaged… makes it hard to keep them fresh for long periods of time; and when they arent fresh, they get soggy
[]How picky and idiotic clients can be :scream:
[/list]

RANT! Why can’t people post their computer related questions in the C&G forum? It’s not as if a few of them don’t know that the forum exists. They practically live there :evil:

Ugh, so even as I’m reading this thread…

I had gotten to page 3, when I decided to take a break and find something to drink. I went to the kitchen and saw the blender jsut sitting there… I opened the freezer and there is some ice cream… naturally I did what I do, decide to make a milkshake. Okay so that’s not what I do but whatever it sounded cool.
Alright so I get the ice cream in there, and then pour some mile, and think ‘I hope this is assembled.’ Milk comes pouring out the bottom and all over the counter and floor. For some reason, someone had forgotten to screw on the bottom of it when they decided to set it out as if it were ready to go?! So I clean up the mess, and decide to brave the blender. IT’s staticy, and buzzing. Shocks me. I shake it myself.

Okay so I have some other stuff I gotta get offa mah chest:
-Low wage at a tough job (it doesn’t seem tough but it is!)
-Being awake till four every night just because. I hate insomnia.
-Failing my logic final because I didn’t study, when I totally should have and I knew it
-having a broken car
-Wanting to hear a specific CD (counting crows: august and everything after), and having that CD in your broken car, at the mechanics, and the only burn you have of it is scracthed up :angry:
-Not being able to drive now, and having to rely on my parents which means I go when they say :angry: I’m going to the store in a few, apparantley, guess why, to buy milk :sigh:
-Not having time to write all the rants I want.
I’ll be back though. But I’ll leave on a happier note…

at least school is out (for me, sorry if it isn’t heh)
at least I get free movie rentals
at least I don’t have a girl to control me (but this is sorta a rant too :P)
at least we have kirupaforums

This complete and ***utter BS *** they call a degree is really, really starting to annoy me. I need to average 58% to get a decent overall grade.

I only have 4 weeks left but the ridiculous workload I have is just insane. Most pressing of this work load is a 2,000 word essay + appendix. that is due in 2pm on Friday and it is an absolute bìtch of an essay! I have looked everywhere on the Internet and am struggling to find any info on it.

Without a doubt I am going to be up ALL night tommorow trying to finish and get it together and even then I will probably get a shìt mark for it. And that is what pi$$es me off!

yah I agree rage, that’s why I’m gonna take some time off.

btw just noticed that somehow you circumvented the filters and a swear word got through… was just curious how it happened! heh

Looks like he placed a little accent on a couple of i’s, unless you’re talking about something I missed.

oh… haha I see, I didn’t even know you could do that. Man, I’ll be a regular sailor now! lol, j/k, oc, ok? :stuck_out_tongue:

Okay new stress to rant about!
-My parents… some general things but mostly that they are sooo dag gum annoying sometimes…
-People (see above.txt) interrupting inportant things (read posting_on_forum.txt)
-not having DSL :stuck_out_tongue:

customer Rants
[size=1]from what I can tell xxiii can sympathize with these most likely![/size]
-Telling a customer to do something but they totally ignore you

-Customer asking stupid questions about what you JUST TOLD THEM. Repeat phrase, word for word, back at them. For some reason they don’t even notice…
-Smelly people!

-People that ask my opinion and then ignore it entirelly and simply rent Fast and the Furious

-People that want the movie that ‘shows the whole movie’. Yes, they always mean FullFrame. sigh

-People that get mad at me cause I don’t have the movie in FF to rent, nor to buy, and sorry, I didn’t test it before I rented it to you.

-People that think they deserve a credit for no reason, ie ‘I didn’t like this, I want a different one’ or ‘you don’t have this movie so I want a free one’. What the heck?

-People that want a bag for one movie cause they’ll be ‘shopping in the store next door’. Guess what, they aren’t going to accuse you of stealing a rented movie from them that says our name.

-People that ignore me! When you walk in and someone says hello to you, SAY IT BACK, do NOT keep walking, or, the worst, glance at them but do NOTHING to aknowledge that they exist… they will immediatly dislike you…

-People that get pissed over four dollars, and tell me that they were ‘only an hour late’. I’m sorry, did you stop listening to yourself halfway through that sentence?
[size=1]well one of us did[/size]

-People that pass blame. I’ve done it too, we all have. But it’s SO obvious when you are behind the counter, when the person starts getting personal about a movie checked in DAYS ago, not by you, and they are saying that ‘you are ripping them off’. Guess what: it’s done on a schedule and with a computer. But, I guess I singled you out, set all your movies aside and then checked them in the next day. If any of you readers ever get mistakes in customer service, trust me: stay calm and sort it out. Understand the situation. Don’t immediatly start yelling. When people are nice to me, I’m nice to them; it’s human nature.

I just got back from a 30 mile bike ride at full speed and I’m so hopped up on endorphins that nothing bothers me. Yeah! :slight_smile:
