Alright, I might be opening up a giant can of worms here! I thought this could be somewhere to come when you just need to vent about anything!

I'll start it off by talking about the companies where you pay for their service, but if you need them to come and repair something that is generally their fault, they tell you someone will come out like 2 weeks from Thursday, and they will be there somewhere between 8am and 6pm. I'm talking about phone service, internet repair, TV repairmen, etc. So you sit there all day long waiting for this guy to show up. Well now it's 5:30, and no one has come. You have called the company several times during, and they tell you that they are "on their way". You call at 10 mins to 6, and they tell you that they came and no one was home! WHAT?? I wasted my whole day waiting for you! Then of course, their next available appt time is 2 weeks from Thursday again! But don't you dare miss a payment! They certainly know how to get in touch with you then! We line their pockets, and they treat us like they are doing us a favour, while the big shots are sitting in their multi million dollar houses, and laughing all the way to the bank.

Or how about when you call to begin with and you have to go through a hundred and six options for your problem? Then when you finally get to talk to a human, you can't understand a word he/she is saying!! The people you are talking to with a company you figured was based in your Country, has hired a company in India, Bangladesh, or Pakistan, to take their calls! It takes 2 hrs just to make a call and get someone to undertand your problem, and you are paying THEM for this??!!

Alright, there's my rant for the day! Anyone else feel free!! B*tch away!

Here's my current rant - my hot water tank started leaking two days ago. I called, the plumber was more than willing to come right over - but I have an oversize, quick recovery tank and he didn't have one in stock. He said he could be here today (Monday).

Fine with me but I had to take the car in to be inspected at 9AM today. I suggested tomorrow would be a better day OR he could call to make sure I'm home. He said he'd call.

Got home at 11AM. He's parked in the driveway, hammering on the door, my dogs are ricochetting off the sofa and the picture window, he "forgot" to call first.

When he handed me the bill he "forgave" the extra half hour he spent sitting in my driveway, waiting for me. How nice of him.

Yes isn't it nice when they "forgive" something, like they are doing you a big favour, for their mistakes or bad memory!

How about this one Judy! There was a lawn service suppose to come and do my yard work. They said they were be here the following Monday, then they called and make up a lame excuse and said they would be here Weds. Then when they didn't show on Weds., I called and called. Always got voicemail. This is a fairly large company! I have never heard a word from them since!

Now this wasn't just this last week or anything. This was two months ago! I have offered to pay friends and even family members to do it, because I can't especially at this point. No one has shown up, and I have weeds as tall as I am. Now it's just not a matter of mowing my lawn! I can't even find Niki in the jungle sometimes for God sakes, and she is missing out on alot of playtime, because I can't find her balls or toys!

Gosh starby, wish I could come and help you with that yard. This may sound funny, but tell the kids that one of your cannabis trees is out there not geting enough sun because the grass and weeds are so high,,,, they'll run through and tear down that grass to get their 'reward'. Well, maybe it's not such a good idea if the cops hear it, but they'd have to go through the jungle too to find the evidence.

Just thought I'd cheer you up a bit honey.

Pink! That's my vent today. Pink walls, pink flowers, pink trim, pink blanket, pink pillow, pink clothes. Everything is pink!

PINK!

OK, here's my rant...

Today, I spent hours uninstalling a trial version of a security program with all the fixings because I cannot pay to keep it. So, I got some real good freeware that has been rated by confident people. Well after installing them, I noticed that I couln't get into the internet. One of the progs was set so high, that I had a connection, but could not use my browsers... well I finally fixed that.

Now, I'm really mad, because my usual Smiley program - from Smiley Central - is no longer available because one of these super protection programs took it off. Now I had to find another smiley app that would work. Well, I'm not too happy with it, and I miss my regular smileys that I have been using for years.

I still hope that I can find a way to get my old ones back, but if not, I'll just have to get used to the ones available now.

This is in no way as frustrating as your experiences, but I miss my little 'trademarks'

Going to get my next infusion in 2 days and can't wait to see what side-effect will show up after that. If they get too bad, I will discontinue the treatment. The treatment is worse than my monster right now, so cross your fingers.

TTFN,... that's my new mad face.

My current rant???

For the first time in my life I've been played. (Thanks for the definition, Alty!) I "knew" that guys could be flirts because, well, hello, I am too. But, as Alty said, there is a huge difference between innocent flirting and leading someone on. Leading someone on is simply playing with someone's heart and emotions and that's just not cool.

I've been played. And honestly? He's a loser. A player and a loser.

I'm beyond the confusion and the "huh?" and have now moved in to the *snap* "You have missed out on it!" and it feels good.

There. That's my rant. Thanks, Starby!

you forgot to mention these:

Gotta run kids! Busy day. Three B'days, and an anniversary today!! Maybe that's my next rant, people that I know that all dare to be born on the same day , and the ones that dare to get married on it! LOL!!
