  • Rantage, Rantage, and more rantage...

    So, this is just a bunch of general group sightings instead of specific examples I’m writing about, largely because I need to vent. My patience and temper are on short fuses lately. Can’t imagine why. I mean, it’s not like people are being irrational, stupid, selfish fuckmonkeys, right?


    To all my fellow METRO riders:
    Ok, folks. I know the bus system has been a little wonky lately. Trips are lengthier than usual, and the buses are running behind schedule more often than not. After all, traffic lights are still down around certain parts of the city, and there is debris blocking roads around the routes. We had a hurricane. It happens. But it’s getting better, really.

    That said, bitching and whining out loud to all and sundry will change NOTHING. Threatening to report the bus driver will also do NOTHING. Refusing to pay your fare because you’re not getting where you need to be on time is STUPID! I know the routes are running slower and later. I plan for this. Why can’t you!?! Oh, that’s right, you’re a fucktard. Sorry, forgot for a moment there.

    And on another note, do any of you realize there is LIMITED SEATING on the buses available? If I can manage to do major grocery shopping and store my two rolling suitcases full of food UNDER the seats so as not to be a hazard or take up space, your little pillbox parading as your purse does NOT need its own seat. Realize, also, the bus seats are one size fits MOST. They do not take into consideration different body types. I have curvy hips and posterior. I do not fit into the curve of the seat perfectly. There’s a slight bit of spillover. Huffing, sighing, and forcibly SHOVING ME while the bus turns won’t change this. Nor will demanding I move over or move to another seat. It will only earn my unwavering scorn and a scathing reply that I’m unable to change universal laws of space and mass to suit you.

    And if you sit on me, or shove your heavy-ass bag on me one more time, I will scream assault or rape, causing the bus to screech to a halt, the driver to come back here, and you to look like even more of a flaming douchesucker when you try to explain that you’re only trying to take up more space on the seat than me and I’m not cooperating, so you decided to get physical. Hope you enjoy your walk home. Don’t think I won’t! I’ve done it before. Try me!!


    Classroom asshats
    This is a pet peeve of mine. Class starts at 10 am. Why, then, do you fucknuts stroll in 15, 20, even 30 minutes late? The class is only 50 minutes long ball-scratching baboons!! And why, WHY do you then sit next to me and spend the next five to ten minutes rummaging around for pen and notebook, and spread your shit in MY desk space, constantly disrupting my concentration. You do this EVERY DAY!!

    And then there are the slackers who just don’t want to be there, which is evident in the fact that they never take notes, and simply sit, surfing the internet, texting/IMing, sleeping, etc. Why show up at all?

    I admit, it is ballsy of the at least 4 of the above specimens to approach me during and after class to ask if you can have copies of my notes. I will say no. I will say it with sadistic glee because I enjoy seeing the look of shocked displeasure on your faces. It’s even better if you then throw a hissy fit over my unwillingness to help a fellow class member.

    Why, yes. I AM a bitch. I show up to class on time, all the time, I keep up with all readings. I take copious notes. I CARE about my education. You just want a quick fix before the exam so you don’t have to actually study. Yes, I am judging you based on my observations. No, I won’t believe you when you blame Hurricane Ike, when you’ve been pulling this shit ALL SEMESTER. Go ahead, cuss at me, scream at me. Nice try, but you fail. Thanks for playing, now FUCK OFF!


    Store Shenanigans
    Again. STOP using Hurricane Ike to get free stuff, you imbecilic asspumpkins! When I hear all of you whining, I just want to take the nearest spork, stab it in my eye, spin it around a few thousand times, and die a million deaths. Seriously. You’re greedy, maggot-attracting whorecorpses. I hope Karma works you all over good with a meat tenderizer, than sends on a cruise to the Bermuda Triangle on the SS Failship.

    Ok, rant over, I think. At least for sightings. I still need to post my adventures from the last few shifts in Textbook Hell.

    <toddles off to do so>

    (PS, I can’t claim complete creativity for some of my insults. They come from various sources springing up from conversations with equally disgusted friends.)

    Hug and a slice of one of my lasgna's I made yesterday . . ..

    What it's really good - I had a group of men debating who was getting divorced so they could marry me for my cooking.

      I hate, hate, hate those people who do that. What's even worse is when they and their friends show up late then sit right in front of me and talk the whole time. Um, hello? I can't hear the freakin teacher! I came here to learn, not to talk about "OMG, I just don't understand this class, I took the test and got a 45, so now I'm failing. Haha." STFU!

      Lupo, do you get emails or anything from your classmates saying something like, "I couldn't make it to class today, can someone send me the notes?" too? I bet I get about 2 or 3 depending on the class every freakin day usually from the same people.

        YES! Oooh, drives me bananas!! I get them through the online classroom tools that we have, kinda like Blackboard, but not. I just generally delete them and ignore them.

        I love it when they come up to me after class, seeing that I have my laptop and ask me if I got the email they sent out, and could I possibly just quickly email them the notes I just took?

        Again, that crestfallen look of shock when I say know is oddly satisfying...

          However, I bet that if you had a classmate you know who is always in class on time and taking notes came to you ahead of time and said . . .. "Hey I have an appointment I can't get out of on Friday . . (today being Monday) would you be willing to get me a copy of notes?"
          You would say yes to that person . . .your only to slackers.

            This is exactly why I haven't been going anywhere lately. Just home, work, church and other places if I have to. But I've been trying to limit travel especially into Houston itself during rush hour. The roads and highways have been crazy and drivers are beginning to act more like asses than they use to. (and that's saying something). Thankfully I live to far out to use what little public transit our area has. And even if I did I would rather drive. People just don't seem to understand that it's gonna take longer than a week or two for everything to go back to normal. Hopefully those along the bay or on the island understand this better than the rich snobs up in downtown.

            And if one more person use Ike as excuse to be EWs or to get freebies, I'm gonna do something that will possibly get me fired. And I'm past the point of caring.

              Aww, Lupo.

              Sorry to hear about all the asshats where you live. Its almost hard to believe theres people like that truly walking around as entitled as can be. Kinda makes me scared for the future of our children....LOL. Theyll have to fend off EW's all their lives since Im sure all these EW's are training their children well in the art of being a douche.

                Sorry people are so stupid. Yet, once again, your insults are making me giggle.

                  But of COURSE! And naturally, the look of crestfallen shock is made all the sweeter when they see me agree for the classmates who also care.

                  Once it turned into some random reefer head complaining that I was helping someone else and not him. He actually complained to the prof (Who happens to be my supervisor in bone lab, and who's worked with me for the last 2, almost 3 years)

                  Prof's response? "She's not required to help you. You're REQUIRED to do your own work. So do it."

                  1. I've only been going where I have to, too. Class, work, and occasionally grocery shopping. And this is the the fallout from the bare minimum of movements.

                  2. Oh, honey, I stopped caring long before now, and have just been waiting for my peers to catch up. What took you?

                        Yep! It was in my human osteology class. We had to deal with bone frags, and I always took good notes on identifying features, made jigsaw puzzles out of the pics we had, etc. When it came time to take practical quizzes and tests, i.e., pick up a fragment, and ID it, side it, list identifying features, etc, we were allowed to work in small groups. This nimrod wanted to be in my group because of my detailed notes. I told him to take a hike and he pitched a fit. He just wanted to take my answers/notes, fill out his test from it and go.

                        No, it's not an award I wanted to win, but hey, one more for the trophy case! <Looks at the empty trophy case> Well, it's something, at least...

                        I have some popsicle sticks to donate, if you need more. I've been munching on dreamcicles a lot lately. Ice cream therapy.

                        And yes, by all means, gas it up! I've got a few specimens we can use as ballast. They're of little use for anything else, I swear...

                              I hate to even have to say this, but last semester, a couple of days before our final exam, someone sent a mass email to the class. Somehow, she had managed to lose her entire notebook. Would anyone be so kind as to lend his/her notes for the entire semester to her? I almost felt sorry for her, but I figured she would land on her feet. This same girl asked for and was granted a 30-minute extension on her mid-term.

                              I'll be graduating with Honors, but sometimes I think I should ask if the university has a "I did it all on my own because I'm a big boy/girl" certificate. Maybe with a colorful balloon border. Hell, anything that would let me set myself apart from the slackers that are going to get the same degree as I am.
