Im ready to explode!!

It’s a week before Christmas I have seriously got about 40 jobs that need to be layed before then. I come into work and the layers have all walked off the jobs. Its just not our business but every other floor covering companies.

I have had two of my biggest clients from the universities scream at me, literally abused the shit out of me, and I have absolutely no way of rectifying these problems!

I want to run away…….
 
My rant is about rudeness in restaurants: to eat or not to eat?! :X

Scenario: My girlfriends organised a going-away dinner for a good mate as she jets off to France for 2.5 months next week. The dinner was planned 2 days ago, unfortunately I already had dinner plans for that night... but... I had a brainwave - have an early dinner and go straight after to the going away dinner to chill, hey presto I get to hang out with the girls, no harm done.

One of my mates: "You CANT do that - you cant just arrive in the middle of a dinner at a restaurant and not eat something yourself!"
Me: "But I've already had a previous dinner!"
Her: "You just can't do that - it's rude to the waiters and the restaurant owners"

Well I dont give a fuck about the waiters or the restaurant owners, there's no way I'd sit through 2 dinners and why shouldn't I be able to visit my friends just for their company? Is it really required that I order a meal?

In the end I compromised and consequently, ended up wasting a couple of hrs purely to arrive after they'd had dinner to avoid being 'rude' - what a crock.

Get fucked high and mighty people with their rudeness bullshit!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhh feels good to get that off my chest.
 
I would've told my friend "whatever" and rocked up to the dinner and not eaten anything, as I'd planned initially. Unless it was the friend who was going away who said not to. In which I would have listened. Reluctantly [her party n' all].

I don't see anything wrong with what you wanted to do. Your friend obviously has a silver spoon in her mouth.
 
^^ Yeah it was the going away friend who kicked up the fuss ;)

For the fact that she's going away for nearly 3 months, we really didn't end on a good note... :\
 
I don't know...

I don't think anyone would ever say I was an overly-polite person ;) but dinner is different to drinks, a party or something like that. The whole purpose of dinner is to sit down, converse, have a meal and be relatively civilised. When someone turns up halfway through and doesn't eat it does seem a bit rude and defeats the purpose of going out to dinner.

To be fair, you were in a difficult situation and one I totally understand... but on a certain level I still see her point. :\
 
It depends on where you go for dinner - if it's a place where you have to book in advance (like, have to book or you won't get in), and there is no other room in the resturant for other people, then taking up a seat and not eating is kinda wrong. But if it's one of those places where even if you make a booking there are always a few tables empty at any given time, then yeah, show up whenever. However at the very least you should buy a couple of drinks, even if they're only soft drinks. Just make sure you contribute something to the bill, and then you're not just taking up space.

Resturant ettiquete is all about the specific resturant, and is never exactly the same at different places.

Oh wait, this is the rants thread - fuck I hate it when you write a good post and then realise that it's technically off topic! Fuck fuck fuck! ;)
 
^ i dunno, it still constitutes discussion though ;)

but i'm with UAN.

i can see your point, ESPECIALLY if you'd already been to another dinner...but i was discussing with someone the other day how awkward it is at group dinner things when like one person isn't eating

i think it's fine to come after the meals though and just have a drink though :)
 
I hate it when you want to have a really big rant just to get it off your chest, then people go and point out all the faults in your rantingness.
But you didnt have the rant to discuss the issue, you had it cos everything is already said and done and you just want to cut some emotional shit loose =D =D

Me too!! I've told some of my friends to stop doing it as well. I don't do it to them straight away so I'd appreciate it if they had the same sort of courtesy.

I don't mind them pulling me up on it awhile later, but fuck if I want to rant then I'm going to whether I'm right or wrong.

Ha ha ha. Noice. I can see UAN and MP's point of view, but I still fail to see my friend's one. *oh dear this might be another rant* But seriously, when does manners overtake seeing your friends?

Now this girl is disappearing for 70 days to France, and she's a pretty good friend, why the fuck would you value your dinner etiquette over seeing someone? None of this 'it's the principle' shit, I saw her for 30 minutes all up as a result of her choice and then it's bye bye, have a good time! So ghey.

(As you can see I'm still cut up about it, so this rant requires no response ;) )

Edit: Oh and another note, what constitutes rudeness in drink ordering? Out of the group I was the only one to order alcoholic drinks, possibly to drown my sorrows, and the rest of them ordered.... water. Isn't that rudeness in itself? *kicks herself out of the rant thread before another begins*
 
i agree with pleo, if it was a hoity toity restaurant where people are begging to get in, it's a bit rude, but if you're not really taking the place of someone who would be eating a full meal, there's no problem.

but i think *if* it was still considered rude, you've made up for it buy purchasing more expensive drinks than everyone else.


my rant is that coles is fucking stupid and i can't wait to get away. next week is the week before christmas and i have two shifts. back at my old store everyone would get like four or five, but noooooo i only get two. and i bet they'll end up being short and trying to call me in. well screw you coles, i'll fucking have something better to do.

*clear lie cause i need the money*
 
I don't know if this is a good rant or a bad rant - probably more a story.

Anyhow, I was on the tram coming home last night, feeling pretty shitty and under the weather. These annoying drunk girls got on and I hear "Alice.. why do you keep looking at yourself in the reflection from the window" Alice replies and says VERY loudly "because I'm so pretty... hahaha".

I turned around to look at her [nothing attractive to admire]. She noticed and commented "that girl just looked at me.. hahaha". I didn't reply. She then asks "why did you give me that look?" [I'd imagine the look I gave her wasn't overly friendly]... so I told her "what the hell do you expect?!". So she says "Um.. I don't know what exactly to say to that but I think you're very rude... hahaha". I just continued to try and ignore her.

BUT NO. OH NO...

Two seconds later she comes and sits down NEXT TO ME. By this point I intentionally pulled the rudest face I could pose. She says "Hi.. I think we got off on the wrong foot. My names Alice [she puts her hand out to shake], what's yours?". I declined her offer to shake and told her my name was nobody to her. So she says "look I'm trying here... why do you hate me so much?" I'm like, "umm.. I don't know you".

She then gave me some mumbo jumbo about why I should 'make things right with her' because I would go to bed sad and depressed over the incident otherwise. I informed her of my doubt for that happening. Funnily enough I was right - I forgot all about that twat, Alice, until now ;). And I doubt any regret will strike anytime ever.

Drunk people are so ridiculously amusing! =D
 
My rant is similar to iamtha1's. Went out to dinner for a mate who is leaving town the other night and couldn't eat anything (due to long story involving guy with a grudge, steel capped boots connecting with my jaw and $600 worth of dental work). Mind the fact that I had already confirmed that I would be there and they had booked for me as well.

So i get to dinner, most ppl already knew about my busted teeth, and i ordered a drink. Suddenly this girl i don't know is telling me i shouldn't have bothered to come because I can't eat. It was my best mate leaving town early the next morning and I've never even met this girl with the big mouth.

So I actually ordered some soup anyway, not that i could eat much of it and a few more drinks during the meal and this girl must have brought up the fact that she thought it was wrong for me to be there about 10 seperate times.

I told her what I thought of her opinion (in the nicest way of course) and informed her of why I had chosen to turn up (last time to see my friend and give her a going away gift, table already booked, not busy restaurant, very casual atmosphere) but she just kept wanting to argue with me.

I ended up leaving early because I couldn't take her whinging anymore and later i found out that she didn't even know the girl leaving, she was just a friend of a friend. BITCH! Was beginning to forget about it until I read this thread :(
 
About the dinner thing, I agree with iamtha1...I have a friend who often comes to dinners I've organised and doesn't actually eat anything because she doesn't have craploads of money but she still likes to hang out with her friends.

Um, I don't really have a rant of my own...I feel like such a charlatan.... :\
 
Bump the mutha fucking up!

The Fucking fuck fuck fucking World Cup ticket situation for us aussie football fans is an absolute farce. Real fans jump in to send their application right on the nose of 9am, only to find that ffatravel organisation didn't turn on their email server until 9:31. This meant that all the lazy fat tennis supporters (aka fanatics) or stoners got in before the die hard fans who would carstrate themselves if it guarenteed world cup tickets. So fucking fuck fuck fuck angry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
*ripped from a three page rant I emailed an old friend. This part is the most relevant though as the rest is just personal stuff between us :p *

Sydney women.
I am officially over Sydney women.
I can’t stand them. They are driving me insane. I always seem to get
attracted to the worst possible ones. Here’s a perfect example. There’s
a girl I've been hanging out with for a while. She lives up in Avalon.
She comes down, spending about an hour and twenty minutes on the bus,
she stays for about half an hour, things are going well, were chatting,
laughing, just hanging out. Then she gets a call from her friends and
they ask her what she’s up to, she’s like "nothing" And then they invite
her to a movie. Now the polite thing to do would be to decline
(Considering she saw these people last night) and make up some excuse.
Instead she instantly agrees to go, even though the cinema is like and
hour and a half away, the movie starts in an hour, and she’s doing
something else. Now, I cleared my evening for her, and then she
wonders why I’m annoyed at this change in events. Well let’s see. You
agreed to do something even though you were hanging out with someone
you don’t often see, you agreed to do something impossible, oh, and by
this point, its to late for me to organize anything else to do this
evening. Great. Oh and you know the best part? She then asks me to
call up a mate of mine with his car, to see if she can get a lift.
From Cremorne, to sodding Warriewood. Didn’t even offer to pay for some
petrol either. *sighs* some people.
And you know what part annoys me even more than that? She calls me one
of her best friends. Yeah. So you ditch your best friends huh. What a
great person you are.

You know, I think possibly the worst part about being me is, I always
want to make a girl feel special. It’s true. I think of girls before
myself. *laughs* it even shows in the bedroom. I want to make women
feel special, like they are queens. But then people often shove it in
my face, or just abuse it. And you know the worst part? I can’t stop
myself. That’s how I think women should be treated, and as such, it’s
how I treat them. And yet, it often comes back and bites me in the
ass. I think if I actually had half a brain, I would stop it, but I
can’t. I guess it’s just me. *laughs sarcastically* and everyone thinks I’m
such a wonderful person because of it.

I am sick and tired of it. I am sick and tired of the shit I put up
with. And yet, Id never say it to their face. The worse I would do is
scowl. Or more likely, I would just smile and end up thinking to
myself, God I hate you right now.

Maybe it’s just this city. Maybe it’s just the suburbs I live in. Maybe
it’s just the women I find interesting. Or maybe it’s just something
wrong with me.

I don’t know.
I really don’t.
