RANTS!

[alogram]

So, what is bugging you today?

Here are mine:

1. The song "Santa Baby". UGH.

2. Rude old men. I went to the store the other day and had TWO of them cut in front of me in line. So, I left. Don't say I should have said something. Believe me, with the day I was having it was better that I didn't.

3. People on Facebook who say "OMGWTF, MY KIDS MAY SEE THIS!" I'm sorry, but Facebook is NOT for children. I am so SO glad that we didn't have it when I was a kid, even if I am addicted now. First, other kids are MEAN, second, it is just stupid to think that people will censor themselves for your "precious wonder".

4. I guess for #3 I should have just said "The rampant LACK of parental responsibility." But it's not just on facebook. Idiots.

5. Winter. I am NOT meant to be a New Yorker. It hasn't even been that bad yet!

I am sure I have more, but what are YOUR pet peeves?

5. Winter.

I think I am going to combine these two, and say something obscene about winter on my facebook page. See if anyone gets their tailfeathers in a ruffle.

People who think that the word "women" is singular.

My utter lack of motivation to do anything useful.

People who thing that Sincere Emotion™ makes up for lack of ability when singing Christmas Carols (I'm not talking about carolers, I'm talking about people who are tragically right that anyone can record a Christmas album)

I don't remember hacking your account, but I totally could have written this!!!

How about people who think everything ending in S needs an apostrophe?

This one MIGHT get some "tailfeathers in a ruffle" (LOL).

I hate it when people say "hey, mods, if this isn't in the right place, move it".

Um, the mods don't need your permission. I know, it's a minor thing, but it irks me.

I assure you, you're not the only one.

We have two versions on our store radio.

I'm so sorry.

Everyday it's the same songs, over and over. I don't care if they're being performed by different artists or being remixed via different genres, they're still the same songs. A great number of artists have come up with their own Christmas songs, why can't they? Why must they keep covering these "classics?" Yeah, we get it! Rudolph has a red nose!</RANT>

(I was most pleased, however, hearing Christmas songs by The Waitresses and Boys 2 Men; now if they play the one by the Smashing Pumpkins I might actually feel nice during this holiday season)

My rant for the day:


1. Idiot, impatient drivers at the parking lot. Its total mayhem and all because people don't want to park a few hundred feet further from the door. They're all crammed up in those premium spaces and proceed to block the driveways because they're 'camping out' for them.

Bonus if you're a moron stock behind a camper, the driveway is clear to pass on the left and you decided to lay on the horn to get the Camper to move.

2. People who are still calling for reservations for this Christmas and New Years.

Seriously people, these dates have been booked for months-- we're booking NEXT Christmas and New Year, get on the ball!

You mean "Christmas Wrapping"? The song by the Waitresses? I just looked that one up. I was wondering who did that song. For some reason I thought it was Blondie.

*feels stupid*

You should drop by the swamp once. That song is in pretty heavy rotation by us. We also play the Smashing Pumpkins song--don't know what it's called, I just know it's Billy Corgan singing it.

But my personal favorite is Brian Setzer's version of "Jingle Bells," where the Christmastime conveyance is changed to a '57 Chevrolet.

Can tell what time it is by what song is on one radio station.

Luckily right now most of my rants involve the inevitable finals rather than customers.

However, I do have one stunningly incompetent customer right now who is driving me up the wall annnnd I just got an email that she may have accidentally corrupted all of her files that I'm supposed to be using to make this book. Every. Single. One. And then asked me if I could 'uncorrupt' them. *twitch* Unfortunately said customer also works for my school so despite her being incompetent, I can't drop her as a client unless she's rude to me or decides not to pay me, so I'm stuck grrrr.

I am so glad I freelance and don't have constant Christmas music!
