Miscellaneous Rants Part V

Status
Not open for further replies.
can i have a role as a silent ninja assassin taking out heads of departments, one by one?


my rant is simple. itches. they suck.
i fucking hate being itchy, especially when you scratch and it just makes things more itchy!
what's the point of having something that makes something bad feel better, if it's only going to get worse in the near future?
and how talking or thinking about itches makes you more itchy. what the hell is with that?

now i've gone and made myself itchy.
:X
 
I am very angry :X

I have just spent over an hour on the phone to a hospital here in London trying to change an appointment for someone who speaks no english.

So far I have spoken to 10 different people (the same lady 3 times!) and no one seems to know who changes out patient day surgery appointments :X

When I finally spoke to someone who could help me, she told me my client may have to wait up to 4.5 months for the surgery to be re-scheduled, and that my client should seriously re-consider whether she can make it to the appointment on friday.

I rang back my client, spoke to her husband (actually ex husband who got her pregnant after the divorce and caused all the problems which have led to the urgent need for this surgery), and he flat out refused to help in anyway to make it possible for his (ex) wife to have this surgery on friday. 4.5 months seemed to be a reasonable amount of time for him to leave her in pain :\
 
Taxi cab or mental institute cell?

This rant has been a long time coming.
I have alot of sympathy for the average cabbie. Shit hours, shit pay, putting up with drunks etc. I always tip, try to keep my early morning cod shit to a minimum, and bite my tongue when something is said that I strongly disagree with. However sometimes a man cann be pushed too far.

Scene one: 12months ago

I had just flown back to the sunny coast for a close friends funeral, cutting short my snowboard trip. Now I didn't have to work at this stage for a couple of months and so had a wicked pink dye job through my hair. This day I got up at 5am, caught the airport shuttle to brissie airport and jumped in a cab to head to my mums about 10km away then headed down to the golld coast for the funeral.

As soon as I gave the directions this fuck wit started whinging that he had cued for 3hrs at the airport and now he was only getting a $15 fare. I bit my lip for 5min of his moan then I erupted.
"Shut the fuck up! I have been up since 4.30am,I am heading to a funeral, then got to head back to the sunny coast to take my daughter to hospital for surgery. I'm sorry I'm not heading to fucking sydney so pull the fuck over and head back to that 3hr cue!" ....or words to that effect. I hopped out, left the passeger door wide open, and crossed the road to hail another cab straight away.

Scene 2: 10days ago

Having spent a quiet night drinking with Pop Popovich I call a cab to take me back to my crib from his house. Now first up I felt sorry for the guy because he pulled over 2-3 times to check the referdex. By the 4th time I asked him to stop the meter and I would show him on the map (I had no idea where I was in melbourne). By the 5th time the last cigarette I smoked at pop's was making me paranoid and so I asked if he knew where he was going now. By now we were surrounded by forest trees, no street lights and finally we hit a dead end facing large metal gates that were padlocked. Paranoid Max snaps and calls Pop just to explain that if he hasn't heard from me in 24hr, that I loved him and he can have my porno collection. "don't worry my friend" says the cabbie.
"Don't worry? Fuck me what else am I ment to think, you have taken me to a perfect spot for a mugging"
He then offered for me to drive and he will navigate!! So who pays for the fare mate?

Finally, 1hr later (Kew to Watsonia) I reach home. Now he tries to haggle the price of the fare cos he forgot to put the meter back on. I just laughed, tossed him $20 and my parting words were,
"If I ever have to sit that close to you again for a hour it had better be at the football".
It took about 2hr to get to sleep that night.

Scene 3: Monday morn

Catch a cab to the airport at 5am and handover $50 for the $38 fare. The bloke goes off that he can't change a $50 because it is the begining of his shift. I just smile sweetly and explained that I he had to take me to the city and I handed him a $20, he would still need to give me $12 change. Fuckers! He just wanted me to use eftpos at $3.50 surcharge. Normally I wouldn't care so much but after my previous cabbie tour I have had enough.
 
^^^ I had a cab driver who got lost around pop's house too... ended up near what looked to be some kind of mental institution ;)

Funniest part about it was that early in the drive the cabbie told me I was lucky I didn't get one of those dodgy leb drivers (he was Indian) because they wouldn't be able to find their way out there.
 
Edit: deliberately inflammatory, read the guidelines please.

I thought I.V. User's post was fairly tongue in cheek. Maybe I overestimate people.

Anyway, my rant is about speed camera's in school zones [sorry if this has been done before.] Honestly, half the time I think they're more of a liability than anything else. I find it hard to do 40 and spend most of my time with my eyes on my speedo rather than on the road where the kids may actually be.

One speed camera in particular pisses me off, some people in Sydney may know it. It's the one on Carlingford Rd heading into Epping. The school has a footbridge that was built over the road so no kids even cross it and yet they have a speed camera there. Today when I was driving past there was a car next to me that got done. Normally I wouldn't care but earlier on down the road I had overtaken that car because they were doing 50 in a 60. The person obviously didn't know the road because they continued to do 50 through the school zone and therefore got caught. There was another car that had overtaken me at about 90 earlier on who slowed down to 40 in the school zone and then zoomed off at about 80-90 after it was out of reach of the school zone again.

Obviously the right people don't get caught most of the time. If the police really wanted to catch the speedsters there'd be more mobile speed cameras. People who speed are often well aware of where the fixed speed cameras.
 
im pished off because i attended the mgm, not because i attended, because the drive to aspley was quite relaxing, but because i let myself get high with compliments at work to then be inundated with work due to the new proposal i put forward LAST week... i was very happy to do what i had to last week, although am very disgruntled to be bombarded with business listings continuing the chosen project... fuck it... i am being paid so i shouldnt pish and moan, although my job has now become a career and even though im keeping my head clearly above water, and my staff motivated, im exhausted...


im pinging as we speak...

i should feel guilty, although, i dont...

...kytnism...:|
 
I'll back your rant Yarni because I drive through 4 school zones on my way to work every day. The cops have been in one of these zones every day for the last 2 weeks I kid you not. It's really frustrating and as you said you spend more time watching the speedo than the road! The cameras on the Princes Highway shit me because it's a highway, there is a footbridge and a big set of lights in the middle of it! Same goes for the school zone set up outside Riverside Girls. It's like 4 or 5 lanes there with a footbridge to the bus stop. Ugh.
 
It'd be because school is back now wouldn't it? You'd think they'd chill out in a week or two.

It actually suprises me how few mobile speed cameras I've seen down here, there seem to be heaps more up in QLD.
 
My damn sister.

I get a msg from her saying she's sending Dad a birthday card and was wondering if I'd chuck in $20. I agree but say she'll have to cover me until later in the week because I'm broke, and I also need the $80 she owes me from last weekend to pay the rent, which I really, really need today. She then messages me back saying she's too broke to do that (she's not broke, she could get the money if she needed) so that means I'm still no closer to paying the rent.

Fucken hell. If she had put the money away that she owed me in the first place, I wouldn't be in this predicament.

Grrrrr, fuckit and fuck. :X
 
up all night - you know what time it is

If ya want a real rant here's one for ya - Democracy, it has to be the biggest farce since the quarter pounder. Since when does voting make any difference? We have to put up with richard cranium as a leader any way. Bring on the totalitarians!!!!
 
Ok. I work in PR. It is my job to promote our companies products. I do this through magazine advertising, product sampling, competitions, giveaways, sponsorship, stitch models etc etc. And now I have had $70,000 cut out of my budget because another department messed up and didnt achieve their forecasted sales. Is this my fault? No. Then why the fuck do I get screwed over so that I cant do my job effectively. I'm really pissed about this but my hands are so tied and every single cent I spend is going to be so scrutinised I'm going to go insane.
 
after my 21st having to clean up my entire house all by myself while all my mates sat inside and ate maccas and then left without even picking up a single piece of rubbish or washing a single dish!
grrrrrrrr
and then i pulled a muscle in my back trying to lift shit that was uberly heavy - i.e stereo speakers (massive ones) and my back still bloody hurts.
*STABS EVERYONE WHO DIDNT HELP ME WITH A GIANT FORK*
